In the years I’ve spent living by faith, there’s something I’ve learned to do that has helped me receive from God when I’m going through tough personal situations. It’s something I call crossing over the trust line. Now, there may be someone out there asking: Bishop Houston, what’s a trust line? Well, I’m glad you asked. 😀 Beloved, a trust line is what you need when you want God to do the “incredible” in your life. It’s what you need when you want to be strong, steady, and secure in your faith and yet you keep wavering back and forth between your circumstances and God’s promises, *believing first one thing, then something else. It’s what can make you like faithful Abraham. Believe it or not, Abraham had standard situations to deal with just like we do. He knew there was no ordinary way for God’s promise to him to come true. Yet the Word says Abraham considered not his own body. In other words Beloved, Abraham ignored the ordinary “NORMAL” suggestions around him and believed only God’s promise.
“Crossing Over the Trust Line”
Somewhere he crossed over the trust line. 😀 He made a permanent decision to go with the Word of God. He made a final commitment. He chose to cross over to the point of no return. And if you’re ever going to see God do the impossible in your life, you’re going to have to do the same thing!!!
Now, there may be someone out there asking: Bishop Houston, how do I draw that trust line? Well, again, I’m glad you asked!!! 😀 You begin with the Word. Pursue, explore and examine the promises of God and deliberately have confidence in what He has said, and is saying, about your need. Meditate on those promises until confidence and trust becomes very intense in your heart. Then draw the trust line. Draw it in your mind and emotions. Draw it across the floor in your prayer room. Say, “In the presence of God, in the presence of all the angels in this room, and in the devil’s face, I’m crossing over the trust line. From this moment on, I consider this matter done!!! From this day forward, I give God the praise and the glory in the Name of Jesus!!!”
Beloved, from that moment on, speak only as if your phenomenon has already happened. Turn your back on the problems, on the doubts, and turn your face toward Jesus.
I’m a witness that God will do the impossible in your life. This morning, I’m challenging you to cross over the trust line.
“To God Be the Glory.”
