“Good Enough Faith”

I like to post a blog once a week. For the last two weeks I have struggled to post something. Not because I did not have anything, but because I was still thinking about what I did have. My initial struggle within myself was to write about a "good enough faith". I have been perplexed at the people around me and I see so many settle for what is good enough and not cry out for more than enough from our more than enough God. I do not want to settle for the barely get by mentality when God tells me that ALL things are possible with Him. Today, I sit here writing and thinking that there is a shift in the people of God. A shift from a good enough mentality to a more than enough mentality; because the move that God wants to do in His church and through His people is going to take the more than enough faith in the more than enough God! Those of us that have settled are going to begin believing God for more than enough in every situation that concerns us.

When my husband and I believed for children we could have just said, "Lord, give us a healthy baby" and yes, that would have been incredible. After being told that with all the technology we have I would only have a 20% chance of ever conceiving and an unknown chance to carry to term; something rose up in me that said God can do so much more than the just enough! Now, we have two healthy babies, boy and girl twins. I find myself at a similar crossroad today. My husband and I are in transition and we are taking some bold steps. Once again I find myself asking God to show up with more than enough! Once again I sense a shift in my Spirit where God's children will stop holding back, stop justifying the good enough and begin to ask our more than enough God for His more than enough provision, strength, confidence, love, freedom, peace, miracles…

I actually had a conversation with some friends about this and asked what keeps them from asking God for more than enough? The common response was that they thought of others being worse off than them so that they should not ask or that they felt like they were being greedy. I proposed a question; what if the enemy is trying to rob you from the more than enough to limit the help that you could be to those worse off situations, or just trying to rob you of blessing because that is what the enemy does? Do we not think that God wants his children to be blessed in every area of life? We have not because we ask not. Ask and receive that your joy may be complete. Come before Him boldly. God is a big mighty God without limit – why are we hesitant to ask Him for greatness???
