Faith Line

I know this can be a controversial issue, even for those that are followers of Jesus, so I'd just like to preface this post by saying that I respect everyone's beliefs and everyone is entitled to believe what they want. On to the post:

As I have said before, I subscribe to daily devotionals from the Kenneth Copeland website. I really enjoy it because it enables me to get a daily dose of the Word and encourages me when I feel down. Today's devotional was very applicable to my situation and my quest to become pregnant and become a mother (and I usually find most of them are). Today's devotional discussed a "faith line" and how we should step over that "faith line" to attain God's promise to us, even though all things natural in this world point to the contrary. I've been standing on faith that God will (and already has) answer my prayer request to become the mother of many children, including a request that my first born child be conceived and born full term this year. I'm also standing on faith that my request that I experience no more miscarriages and tha tmy womb will be perfect with no more hyperplasia will be granted and that I will be able to start TTC by the end of February. For that to happen, i need to get pregnant practically immediately after my February 13 appt. Now, I dont even know if I'll be given the green light to start TTC in February, but I'm operating on faith. Most of the time, I'm strong in my faith and believe that all will work out and that my prayers will be answered. However, there are moments, almost daily, where that faith waivers, and I think -- what if......(insert some bad thought here)? I think many of us go through the same struggle - optimistic one day, pessimistic and doubtful the next. I think it's human nature to worry, especially when we have been faced with such disapointment in the past. Well, I'm glad I get my daily devotional dose of the Word, to help me to continue to have faith and to believe in the power of the Lord.

with that said, here is the devotional recopied below. I hope that it inspires someone else like it does for me. (p.s. 37 more days till the BIG appt!)

In the years I've spent living by faith, there's something I've learned to do that helps me receive from God in the toughest of situations. It's something I call stepping over the faith line.
A faith line is what you need when you want God to do the "impossible" in your life. It's what you need when you want to be firm in your faith and yet you keep wavering back and forth between your circumstances and God's promises--believing first one, then the other.
It's what can make you like faithful Abraham. You know, Abraham had natural facts to deal with just like we do. He knew there was no natural way for God's promise to him to come true.
Yet the Word says Abraham considered not his own body. In other words, Abraham ignored the natural evidence around him and believed only God's promise.
Somewhere he stepped across the line of faith.
He made an irreversible decision to go with the Word of God. He made a final commitment. He chose to step past the point of no return. And if you and I are ever going to see God do the impossible in our lives, we're going to have to do the same thing!
How do you draw that faith line?
Begin with the Word. Search the promises of God and purposely believe what He has said, and is saying, about your need. Meditate on those promises until faith rises in your heart.
Then draw the line of faith. Draw it in your mind and heart. 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 devils face, I am stepping across the line of faith. 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.
From that moment on, speak only as if your miracle has already happened. Turn your back on the problems, on the doubts, and turn your face toward Jesus.
God will do the impossible in your life. Dare to step across the faith line!
