I have come to the place of understanding this statement – Faith that has not been tested – cannot be trusted. Your faith must be tested not so that God can see your true belief in Him and in His Word but so that YOU can see your faith in operation and that it works. God knows whether you have TRUE FAITH or if you are only hoping that His Word will work for you. Once your faith is tested and YOU see the results of your TRUE FAITH – you will always believe in God and His Word and Power and you will know that your faith works and use it to bless others and that is God's ultimate goal for all of His children – to be a blessing. One of the most powerful prayers you can pray to God is
ask God to “Make you a Blessing to others”
- He will hear and answer this prayer FAST. 

I am sure you have heard of a Test Pilot and how he is used to test the airplane before it is put in operation for other pilots and people on commercial airlines flights. You will never be allowed to get into anything that has not been tested. Well this is true in the arena of Faith – God will have to allow you to test your faith so that you will know that it works. He will place a test before you that will give you the opportunity to prove your faith to YOU. Once you see your faith work and the Word of God – your faith will grow and you will use it to help others and reveal this anointing that appears only when you use your faith. The anointing is the burden removing, yoke destroying power of God that is released by faith in God and His Word. Lets read a powerful test from God for His people in the Holy Bible:

“All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observeto do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land whichthe Lord sware unto our fathers. And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart,
whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 
And he humbled thee, and suffered [allowed]thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live”.         
Deuteronomy 8:1-3

God allowed this test to prove them – prove their faith to themselves so that they would know what is in their own hearts and see if they would obey God or not. God continues to do this today – you will have to pass the test – a specific test that God has designed for you to prove yourself and your faith to you. You will see that faith works when you work it and faith without works – corresponding actions is dead (James 2:17).

If there is anything in your life now that you have been putting before God – you should bring it to Mount Moriah and place it on the altar – sacrifice it to the most High God and let him know that you are releasing it to Him. God will bless your life and from that moment on – if it was meant to be in your life, God will bless it to be a bigger blessing in your life and He will make it a Blessing for His Kingdom.

In Chapter 22 of Genesis, God placed a test before Abraham when He commanded him to take his only son Isaac and offer him as a burnt sacrifice on Mount Moriah and Abraham did exactly what God said unto him. This is real and true faith – obeying in spite of the consequences, circumstances, appearance or anything. Faith obeys God and believes God and His word not matter what. Remember – this is only a TEST, God tests us but the devil with tempt us. 

Abraham knew that if he obeys God and offer his son Isaac as a burnt sacrifice – God will keep His promise and if necessary raise him from the dead. He did not doubt and he did not hesitate to do the Word of God – what God told him to do. He immediately set out to do what God had instructed him to do. Procrastination is a form of disobedience – when you hesitate to do what you are instructed to do that lines up with the Word of God – this hesitation, putting it off until later may and will cause you to miss the will of God. This is a form of disobedience – God did not say to do it later - when you feel like it or when you get ready – God said to do it now and when you do not – you disobey God and disobedience to the Word of God is sin. The devil is continually trying to get you to disobey God.

The Devil will tempt you to get you to stumble and fall concerning the Word of God. God will test you to get you to stand and do right and see His Blessing. The devil will tempt you to put things before God and if you fall for it – you fall for the tricks and traps of the devil and defeat is your answer. When you obey God and His Word – you put God first and His Blessing – the anointing is released into your life and you will experience the victory – the Breakthrough. 

Remember, anything that God has given to you – You can trust Him with it. Anything that God has not given to you – You don't need it anyway. If You love it – let it go and if its truly yours, God will bring it back to you. But if its not yours, you will be saved from a fate worse than death that will impede your walk with God & His Blessing upon your life. When Abraham obeyed God, God saw that he passed the test, stopped him and provided a ram for the sacrifice – stuck in the bush. Abraham called that place on Mount Moriah – Jehovahjireh which means – God our provider, God will provide. This is a promise for all of His children to this day – God is our Jehovah Jireh – God will provide always for all of us a believers in Him and His Word.

As you walk by faith and not by sight (II Corinthians 5:7) – you put your faith into operation and you will know this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (I John 5:4). Our world was created by Faith – the Faith that was spoken out of the mouth of God. He did not doubt but he believed that what He said would be done immediately and it was done. We have the God kind of Faith now on the inside of us all as believers and we only have to believe because it will work when you work it and believe.

God is your source – God is our provider – Jehovah Jireh and we should always believe His Word and that His provision will manifest the breakthrough and thank God daily. Once your Faith has been tested – it is now Faith that can be trusted. This is the only type of Faith that will produce results in your life and the lives of many others all over the world. Never forget that Faith that has not been tested – cannot be trusted.
