However, if you want Me to intervene, then all I’m waiting for is you! But here’s a clue: use your faith.”
    I’ve already written this in the first chapter, but I’m going to repeat it here—God cannot do anything in our lives except for those things we have the faith for Him to do. Every blessing, every promise, every aspect of God must be accessed by our faith. We cannot change the negative things in our lives simply because we don’t like them or wish they were different. The only way we will be able to change and to overcome the problems, the bad habits, and the outside circumstances in our lives is for us to learn to grow and to use our faith. Then amazing things can happen! Your faith can change anything that is negative in your life.
    We cannot change the negative things in our lives simply because we don’t like them or wish they were different.

According to Your Faith
    When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” And their eyes were opened. (Matthew 9:27-30)

    Faith will change the negatives in your life, but it is according to your faith. Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and if He were here today, He’d say the same thing to us as He said to those blind men. If we said, “Jesus, can You help me get out of debt?” He’d reply, “Do you believe that I am able to do it?” Some of us would say, “Yes, Lord,” just like those men. But some of us would say, “Well, in this economy, I’m not too sure. I’ve been figuring out the numbers for quite a while now, and I think, man, if you’d have just shown up a year ago, maybe so.” To both groups Jesus would say, “According to your faith, let it be unto you.”
    Here’s another example of what I’m talking about:
And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” [Here, Jesus is referring to the fact that He was sent to minister to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles.] Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. (Matthew 15:22-28)

    In other words, Jesus says to her, “Wow! According to your faith!” Do you have the kind of faith that even surprises Jesus? That’s the God kind of faith I’m going for! This woman was bold, and even after basically being called a dog, she was not going to give up. When Jesus used the word dogs, He was talking about a theological comparison between Israel and the Gentiles and in essence was saying, “You are not really who I’m ministering to right now.” But this mom was tenacious and came right back with “Don’t give me your theology. I need help for my daughter, and I know you can get the job done.” Her faith went beyond the adversity, the rejections, and the hurdles. Her faith overlooked all those setbacks and believed God would still work on her behalf. She aggressively believed Jesus was going to make it work, and His reply was, “Great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire!”
