Why Faith Doesn't Always Get What You Want
About this episode
Dr. Rocky Ramsey explores the true nature of faith and its relationship with reality and God's promises.
What is faith, really? Is faith simply believing hard enough to get what you want? Does unanswered prayer mean you didn't have enough faith? Can faith change reality—or does it trust the God who created reality? In this message, Dr. Rocky Ramsey examines Scripture and the example of Abraham to explain how Biblical faith actually works. Faith is not wishful thinking, positive vibes, or denying reality. Biblical faith is choosing to trust what God has said, even when doubts, emotions, and circumstances say otherwise. In this message: • Faith is based on what God says, not what we want. • God's Word is the most powerful force in the universe. • God is limited only by His own nature. • Faith does not deny reality but trusts in a greater reality. • Faith means believing your beliefs and doubting your doubts. • Faith does not always get what we want when we want it. • One proof of what we believe is that we live like we believe it.
