The Specificity Factor

Saturday, May 18, 2024

Most believers say they believe that God can do anything. After all, He's God. But truthfully, most believers don't really believe God can do anything. When the anything becomes a particular problem or need we're dealing with, then our anything faith goes out the window. God cannot do anything, because anything is generic and vague and doesn't mean anything. He doesn't do things vaguely and generically. He doesn't do just anything. He answers real and specific problems with real and specific answers, fulfillments, and miracles. He won't deal with just anything, He'll deal with specific things- needs, problems, troubles, or gaps in our lives. If you want to see God do something, stop saying God can do anything and get real. Let Him do one thing. Get specific. Start praying specific prayers. Start bringing Him that specific problem or need in your life, that specific gap in your heart. Start believing specifically for that one thing with specific faith. Forget anything and start with that one thing. Get real with God and God will give you a life that's really something.
