Have you ever felt God leading you to do something that made absolutely no sense?

Maybe He asked you to forgive someone who never apologized. To give when your finances were already stretched. To leave a secure job. To start a ministry. To invest in a dream that everyone else questioned. To keep believing for a promise long after others said it was impossible.

Welcome to radical faith.

In Episode 9 of FaithFinder Season 3: Becoming a Faith Walker, Not Just a Faith Talker, we discover that some of God's greatest miracles begin with instructions that seem completely unreasonable from a human perspective.

Throughout Scripture, God's methods often challenged human logic. When the Israelites stood before the massive walls of Jericho, God didn't hand them a battle strategy that made military sense. Instead, He instructed them to march around the city for seven days and shout at the appointed time.

From the outside looking in, it seemed foolish.

But God's instructions are not based on human reasoning—they are based on His sovereign wisdom and unlimited power.

This episode explores what it means to trust God so completely that you obey Him even when His instructions don't fit your plans, your experience, or the opinions of others.

In this episode, we discuss:

  •  Why God sometimes asks us to do things that challenge our understanding 
  •  The difference between radical faith and reckless behavior 
  •  How obedience often precedes the miracle 
  •  Why God's ways are higher than our ways 
  •  Trusting God's process even when you don't understand His plan 

We also look at powerful examples of radical faith throughout the Bible:

  •  Noah built an ark before anyone had ever seen a worldwide flood. 
  •  Abraham prepared to offer Isaac, trusting that God would remain faithful to His promise. 
  •  Moses stretched out his staff over the Red Sea before the waters parted. 
  •  The widow of Zarephath gave Elijah her last meal before experiencing God's supernatural provision. 
  •  Naaman was instructed to wash seven times in the Jordan River to receive healing. 
  •  The disciples filled empty water jars before Jesus turned the water into wine. 

None of these acts made sense according to human wisdom.

Yet each one required complete trust in God's Word.

Sometimes we delay our breakthrough because we spend more time trying to understand God's instructions than obeying them.

Faith walkers recognize that obedience is not dependent upon complete understanding.

They know that God often reveals the next step only after they take the first one.

This episode also addresses an important truth: radical faith is not impulsive faith. Radical faith is not making reckless decisions or claiming God told you something without testing it against Scripture. As we discussed in Episode 8, radical faith is rooted in discernment. It begins with hearing God's voice clearly, confirming His direction through His Word, and then obeying—even when that obedience stretches your understanding.

Radical faith is never about proving how bold you are.

It is about demonstrating how much you trust God.

🔥 As listeners continue applying the principles from the 10-Day Active Faith Kickstart, this episode serves as a reminder that spiritual growth often happens outside of our comfort zones. God develops extraordinary faith through ordinary acts of extraordinary obedience.

If you've ever:

  •  Wondered why God's instructions didn't make sense 
  •  Been afraid of what others would think if you obeyed God 
  •  Delayed obedience because you couldn't see the outcome 
  •  Felt God asking you to do something beyond your comfort zone 

Then this episode will encourage you to trust God's wisdom above your own understanding.

Remember, obedience should always be grounded in Scripture and guided by the Holy Spirit—not emotion, impulse, or pressure.

Because some of God's greatest miracles are waiting on the other side of your next act of obedience.

✨ Faith walkers don't require every answer before they obey.

They know that God's instructions may not always make sense to the natural mind—but they always make sense within His perfect plan.

Sometimes the most radical thing you can do is simply trust God enough to obey.

Joshua got up when God gave it to him. He got up and he gave the instructions. He did it immediately. Immediately. He didn't delay. He didn't deny. He didn't sit there and debate. Oh, glory. He didn't denay, deny, or debate. I like that, Lord. He didn't. He didn't. He just got up and he did it immediately. He did it exactly. He didn't deter from it. Jesus. Okay, Lord, I hear you. He didn't deter from it, okay? So he didn't deny. He didn't delay. He didn't debate. He didn't, you know, deal delegate or deter. Thank you, Jesus. He didn't deter from the instructions. And he did it with great delight. This is Faith Finder, where faith becomes your roadmap. Welcome to Faith Finder Podcast, where faith becomes your roadmap. I am your host, Tamara Anderson. Thank you so much for joining me. We are nearing the end of season three. Um, season three is entitled Activated Faith from Belief to Bold Living. We are now on episode nine, just one more episode after this, and we are done with season three. And I will be taking a couple of weeks vacation here in the summertime to go on vacation with my family. But I promise you, I will be back for season four. But our lesson for today is radical faith. Doing what doesn't make sense. And I want to add this little caveat: doing what doesn't make sense to others. All right. Let's go ahead and jump into our prayer. Lord, we thank you, hallelujah, glory to your name, Jesus. We thank you, we thank you, we thank you, we thank you for the rising of the sun on today, Lord. Hallelujah. We thank you, hallelujah, for allowing us to make it through the night. Glory to your name, Lord God. I heard the woman pray, Lord, glory. I heard her pray, hallelujah. I went to bed last night, but my bed did not come, become my final resting place. And Lord, we thank you for as the sun rose, hallelujah, we were able to rise to Jesus. We thank you. Hallelujah. Glory to your name. We thank you for all of the episodes of this season. We thank you for your move in our life. How you're constantly working on us and pruning us, Lord God, and molding us to be who you need us to be in these last and evil days. Hallelujah, Lord. We thank you, glory to your name. That we're not just gonna talk about it, but we are gonna have that activated faith that causes movement. Hallelujah. Not just us speaking about it, but us doing it. Glory to your name, Lord Jesus. Give us all, hallelujah, an ounce of radical faith that we may grow even the more in you. Glory to your name, Jesus. We do ask that you please forgive us of anything we have said, done, thought, or felt that is unlike you. Hallelujah. Continue to show us the air of our ways that we may not sin against you. Glory to your name, Lord Jesus. Hallelujah. Be with our pastors and our first ladies on today. The enemy is truly uh roaring like a mighty lion, but God, we know that you are still yet greater. You are still on the throne, hallelujah, and all power is in your hand. So glory to your name, Lord. We're asking a special prayer over our spiritual leaders on today. Hallelujah! Glory to your name, hallelujah. Hallelujah, yes, Lord. A special prayer for our leaders on today, spiritual leaders on today, glory to your name, Lord Jesus. We just ask that you open up our ears to hear you, hallelujah, our hearts to receive and our minds, Lord God, for a better understanding. But above all that, give us application of the lesson on today. Give us application of your word on today. Glory to your name, Lord Jesus. We just come to give you glory, we come to give you honor, we come to give you praise, we come to sit at your feet and be fed by you, Jesus. So we just thank you for the lesson on today, Lord God. Speak what you would have for your people to receive. And it's in Jesus' mighty name that we pray. Amen, amen, and amen. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Glory to your name, Lord Jesus, hallelujah. Lord, so we're gonna go into Joshua chapter six. We're gonna read verses two through five. Today I am going to read the amplified version, and it reads, The Lord said to Joshua, see, I have given Jericho into your hand with his king and their mighty warriors. Now you shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do this once each day for six days. Also, seven priests shall care carry seven trumpets made of rams' horns ahead of the ark. Then on the seventh day ye shall march around the city seven times, and the priest shall blow the trumpets. When they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall cry out with a great shout, a battle cry, and the wall of Jericho will fall in its place, and the people shall go up, each man going straight ahead, climbing over the rubble. Glory to your name, Jesus. So our focus for today's lesson is going to be obedience that defies logic. Obedience that defies logic. So God gave uh Joshua and the children of Israel a specific strategy that He hadn't given for any other battle, had He hadn't given for any other for them to uh find to be conquerors in any other situation. Jericho's strategy was completely and totally different. And so I want to sit here and read in your hearing because I did a little bit of research because again, how they did it was even totally different than what God had how God had ordered them to do things in Numbers. So in Numbers chapter 10, just briefly, there was a way that they were to go into battle, there was a way that they were to go and to march or what have you. And it again, we know God is a God of order, He has details and instructions for a reason. And so in Numbers, God told them that they were to go in groups by their um tribe. That's how they were marching and to go into battle, and so the lead group was the camp of Judah, they were supposed to march first, acting kind of as a vanguard, and then followed by them was supposed to be the tribe of Issachar and Zebulon. Then, followed by them, was supposed to be the Levites of the Gershonite clan and the Mariotites followed, okay, and they were carrying the dismantled uh curtains of the tabernacle and the frames and the heavy parts, okay, of the tabernacle, and they were doing this on cards. So there was a particular way that they were supposed to travel and to go into battle. Then after that was supposed to be the tribe of Reuben, um, and they were followed by the tribe of Simeon and then Gad. After that, it was supposed to be the Ark and the holy objects. So the Levite clan of Gohatites traveled in the middle of the procession carrying the most sacred items, which is the Ark of the Covenant, the altar, and the lampstand on their shoulders. Then following up was supposed to be the tribe of Ephraim, the tribe of Manasseh, then the tribe of Benjamin, and at the very end, the rear guard was supposed to be the tribe of Dan, uh, followed by Asher and Nephali. Now, that was how God originally in Numbers chapter 10 told them to move. But if you look at this, because even how God told him to do the walls of Jericho, again, I gave specific orders on how you're supposed to do this. But we know that God is God, He knows what He knows our future from our end, He knows what's best, He knows what's coming up, and I promise you, this past Saturday, I heard the woman of God say, God uh knew all the mistakes you were gonna make, so even our mistakes don't catch him off guard. He knew when he called you, he knew when you were formed in your belly's your mother's belly, how what mistakes you were gonna make and what have you. That oh, it just did something for me. But anywho, when God gives you different instructions on a particular segment of life, on a particular situation, on a particular battle, we have to be obedient. So Jericho's strategy was totally different than what God had even given them in Numbers because here he said, Guess what? I want the man of war to circle the city, they just circle the wall once each day. That was it. And then he said, I also want the seven priests to carry seven trumpets made of ram's horn and ahead of the ark. If we go back, it was the Levites who were with the ark. So now he's saying, I want the Levites were the priest. He wants I want the priest to go ahead of the Ark of the Covenant. All right. So again, it was just out of order. But this is the wonderful thing about Joshua. God gave me this revelation years ago. Joshua got up when God gave it to him. He got up and he gave the instructions, he did it immediately. Immediately, he didn't delay, he didn't deny, he didn't sit there and debate. Oh, glory, he didn't denay, deny, or debate. I like that, Lord. He didn't, he didn't, he just got up and he did it immediately. He did it exactly he didn't deter from it. Jesus, okay, Lord, I hear you. He didn't deter from it, okay? So he didn't deny, he didn't delay, he didn't debate, he didn't, you know, delegate or uh deter. Thank you, Jesus. He didn't deter from the instructions, and he did it with great delight. I promise you, the Lord gave me that. He did it immediately, he did it exactly how he was supposed to, and he did it with great delight. And because of that, we know the story. The walls of Jericho came down and they charged the city and they took Jericho, it was theirs. Okay, so understand, God is going to sometimes give us instructions that feel unusual, unnatural, or even out of character. I'll never forget, and I probably told this testimony because I promise you, this is how God gave it to me. I heard the the the um joke, I'm guessing, years ago about how the person was stuck on their roof, and they had an expectation of how God was gonna save them. They had an expectation. Somebody came by in a rowboat, they like, nope, God's gonna save me. Somebody came by in um a different kind of boat, a speedboat. I'll say a speedboat, nope, God's gonna save me. Mind you, this is a flood, they're on top of the roof, and then somebody came by in a yacht, nope, God's gonna save me, and then they drown and get to heaven. Well, Lord, why didn't you save me? I sent a paddle boat, I sent a uh uh speedboat, and I spent a yacht. Well, I was expecting you to do this. No, no, and again, God's instructions may not always be um the way you think they should be. I had a friend years ago, oh my god, it's probably 20 years ago, maybe not 20, about 18, 17 years ago, and it was a time of struggle for her, and she again was used to God bringing forth the miracle or sending deliverance or or you know blessing her in a particular way. Well, this particular time he came a different way, and she was like rejecting that. And I had that question her, like, sweetheart, well, I'm confused. Well, I'm used to God doing it this way. What difference does it make how God decides to bless you? If he's blessing you this way, what difference does it make? Just receive the blessing. So, again, same thing with instructions. If God is telling you to go march around your house seven times and pray aloud with a bullhorn, do what God is telling you to do, you never know. Glory, hallelujah. Going around your house seven times can be how the mortgage company loses your mortgage or they get a zero balance in their system saying your house is paid off. Who knows? But if God gives you those instructions, even if they feel unusual, they feel weird, it's whatever, be obedient. But I want you to understand there is a difference between radical faith and reckless behavior. There is a difference between radical faith and reckless behavior. We are now in this dispensation of grace, so I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that God is gonna tell somebody, oh, like he did in the old testament, go kill the whole family. Because I was watching a particular TV show, and the guy was truly delusional. He was like, God told me to wipe out this family because the child was the Antichrist. God told me to wipe out this family. That's not how God is operating anymore. That's reckless behavior. Again, and we know mental illness, people will hear things and see things and just know, you know, but that's reckless behavior. Radical faith, totally different because God is not gonna have you to do anything that goes against, like, for instance, his ten commandments, thou shalt not kill. He's not gonna have you, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not lie, he's not gonna have you going out and doing something necessarily against his own word. That's reckless behavior, but radical faith, it may not align with what everyone else is doing and what everyone else is saying, and and even again, what you feel, forget your feelings. Your feelings are fleeting, they change. If I I'm gonna say it's thousands of times per hour, but per day, so forget your feelings, your feelings have nothing to do with this whatsoever, okay? But radical faith is just that you know you heard God, you know that it's the Lord, no ifs, ends, or buts about it. It doesn't go against his word, okay. Make sure it's lining up with his word, but again, it may feel unusual, it may feel weird, but be obedient. Be obedient. Understand trusting God over logic is is is what's needed. That's faith. That's faith. Trust in God over logic because it's not logical for us to do a lot of things. I'm not trying to be funny, it's not logical for us to go on a 10-day fast or a two-week fast or you know, whatever the case may be. It's not logical to um uh thank you to the Lord. It's not logical to lose sleep, not get enough rest according to medical, you need your eight hours of sleep. It's not logical to hear God say three o'clock in the morning, hear the Lord say, get up and begin to pray for somebody. Well, I ain't got my eight hours of sleep. That's not logical, technically. Come on now, but again, we have to trust God over logic in regards to everything, and understand obedience often precedes the miracle. You can't go back and read your Bible. Obedience often, I mean, often precedes the miracle, and obedience is not it's not dependent upon our understanding, it's not dependent upon how us, oh glory, hallelujah. Obedience is not dependent upon us seeing the outcome. That's not obedience, that's not faith, that's knowing that that's it's it's again logic. Well, I'll do this because I know the outcome is this, I will follow you because I know this is where we're going, baby, hallelujah! No, sir, no ma'am. That's not how it is at all. It's not. We have to trust the Lord no matter what. Trust him. Oh, glory, trust his word, and again, obedience precedes miracles a lot of times. It does no ifs, ends, and buts about it. Radical faith is never about proving how bold you are. Let's get that out the way, let's get pride out the way. Radical faith is never about proving how bold you are. In fact, me, my personal situation, radical faith put me in a line of oh my goodness, are you serious? I promise you, it was October 2015. I was at a woman's event. Um, I just needed a break, and I needed just a break. This is after Paul's uh strokes, and he was at a better, much, much better place. But going to physical therapy three times a week, and I just needed a break. So I went with my friend down to um oh god, place in in uh Missouri, and we were there at a woman's event, and I heard the Lord say, I can't use you scared. I heard the Lord say I can't use you scared. I'm looking around like you're talking to me. I heard the Lord say, I can't use you scared. The MC was up and she said, God says someone has the Lord saying someone has a testimony, the Lord is saying someone has a testimony, and I heard God saying, get up now. Who me? Seriously, radical faith, me, especially at that time, I was not a public speaker whatsoever. But that was radical faith. It wasn't about proving how bold I was, and in fact, it gave me such trembles to stand up and give a testimony. It gave me such my insides were quivering. I'm not joking. So radical faith is never about proving how bold you are, it's about demonstrating how much you trust the Lord. And in that day, when I say my friend was the only one I knew there, I knew no other woman. No other woman did I know at that event. So it will I'm I'm in front of a bunch of strangers. To some people, it may be like, Okay, well, they strangers, I'll never see them again. That was not my case. I would feel more comfortable around those who I know and and you know, faces I know, but that day, radical faith, because God said, get up. God said, give the testimony of what we had just gone through that past summer. And because, oh glory, I was obedient. Because I got up and gave my testimony. Do you not know the Lord placed it on several women's hearts to bless me financially? That what I didn't know, I did not know anything about that when God said, Get up and give your testimony. I heard her say the Lord said someone has a testimony. I heard the Lord tell me I can't use you scared. Get up and give your testimony. I'm not joking. That was radical faith. Radical faith. I didn't understand, I didn't know the outcome, I was just obedient. I was trusting the Lord, I wanted to be bold for him, I wanted to be what he needed me to be, to be used by him. But I wasn't trying to see how bold and brave I was because in fact I was so fearful. My voice was trembling as I was giving my testimony. I'm not joking you. But God, but God, and in that, again, I was five, I was blessed. I walked away, if I'm not mistaken, 150 to 150. It was either 150 or 250 or somewhere in between. I don't know. But God had laid it upon several women's hearts to bless me financially again, all because of my obedience. I was blessed with a miracle because I wasn't looking for money, I was just looking for the Lord, I was just looking for an opportunity not to think about or deal with or what have you, just me and God. And I went four three hours away, I think it was a three-hour drive, um, away to go to this women's event to get it, and God bless. So, again, understand radical faith is never about proving how bold you are, how bold you are in the Lord, but not how bold you are, it's about demonstrating how much you trust our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, okay? Ultimately, point blank, and understand we will not always understand the instructions, we will not always be able to wrap our brain around why God has us doing what he has us do. We can sit here and look at a bunch of different stories in the Bible of different ones, Noah when he built the ark, and it never rained. Abraham when he was preparing to give Isaac as a sacrifice, but Lord, you said this was my seed that you was gonna bless me with generations. Okay, Moses, when he stretched out his staff to part the Red Sea. Come on now, we about to go across this Red Sea, and not only that, God sent the wind and dry, but He again, obedience. I don't I don't have the power, I don't have the strength, I don't have the might, but I trust the one who does. It's about his trust. We could talk about the widow of Zarephan who gave Elijah her last, her last, or Naaman who was instructed to wash seven times in the nastiest river. Come on now. Again, all these people were given very specific instructions that went against the norm or what against someone. Because I remember uh if you know the story of Naaman, he actually was like, No, I ain't doing that. And his dude was like, Now, had he told you to go do ABC D E F G, you would have done it. But just because you gotta do this little thing, and again, beneath you, Florida, it was would have been beneath him to go wash in this nasty river. But again, thank God for those friends who will lead us and guide us correctly. He went and washed and he was cleansed of leprosy. So seriously, we may not always understand it, we may not get it. Please don't ever think that you're beneath being obedient to the Lord, that or what he called you to do is beneath you. Please don't ever think that. Please don't ever think that if he tells you, um, I know a friend of mine said um, and and it smells at the issue, a big issue for me when I say smell, but a friend of mine said years ago she was at church, and they would feed um feed the the people in the neighborhood, whoever came to service that night, like at fellowship night. And the man came in smelling, he was drunk, he smelled like smoke, all of these. And she said the Lord told her to go hug him. To go hug him. Jesus, don't ever think that you are what God has told you to do is beneath you, for you to go hug a homeless person who's stinking, may smell like urine or liquor or or whatever the case may be that that's beneath you to go show God's love to someone. Please don't. Ooh, glory, because ooh, glory, please don't. But again, it may seem strange to you, it may seem out of the norm to you, but if God, you know it's the Lord that's telling you to go do this and it doesn't go against his word, please be obedient. Please be obedient. Again, that's radical faith. When you don't understand, and it's radical what he told them to do with the Jericho, the walk to how they walk march around the walls of there, that's radical. Lord, they could have somebody up on the top of the wall to shoot arrows down at us, they could have a cannon, I you know, anything, Lord, but again, do what God tells you to do. Be like Joshua, do it immediately. Hallelujah. Do immediately, do it exactly, and do it with great delight. All right. So our faith challenge for this week, I want you to do something that stretches your logic but aligns with God's direction. Even if it feels unusual, move anyway. Do something that you know God has told you to do, and logically it don't make sense, Lord. And I mean, and that could be another reason why uh doubt comes in, because logically it doesn't make sense. But if you have an ear to hear the Lord and you have the spirit of deserving, and you know it was Him that gave it to you, do it. I don't care how bad, how weird, how out of the norm it is, do it. Because God is never gonna have you do anything that goes against his word, he's never gonna have anything again. This is just I I I got this revelation. It's for our good, but above that is for his glory. It's for his glory. He's never gonna have you do anything that's gonna bring shame to him. He's never gonna have you do anything that doesn't glorify him in the end. Understand that. And again, it's for our good. It's for I know the plans that I think of you to said the Lord. I know the plans that I have for you. He is it's for our good. Everything works for the good of those who love the Lord and call according to his purpose. It's for our good. So while it may seem weird and whatever, have that radical faith that says, forget logic. I'm trusting the Lord, forget what someone may say, because again, I want to go back and say that is doing what may not make sense to others. I don't care. This is me. Oh, we in fact, I don't remember who I was talking to um here recently. I've always been the odd man out. I've never fit in the crowd, ever. I've never fit in the crowd. Growing up, and anyone who knows me from my teenage years, I was never a part of the in circle, I was my own clown or whatever you want to call me. No joke. I may have had one or two friends, but I never was a part of the inner crowd because I'm not doing what y'all are doing. I'm just not. That's me. I had a mind of my own. I never oh, thank you, Jesus. It was in Sunday school we were talking about this. I never followed the crowd. I never, as a little kid, and sometimes in teenagers, I wanted to be a part of the crowd, and I thank God for grandma who wouldn't let me. But I never care what made sense to others. I never care. I did what made sense to me. So again, I need y'all to be like that. Stop following the crowd. Stop doing what you think, stop doing what the Lord has told you to do because someone may make fun of you or someone may have a different opinion. Baby, there's always gonna be naysayers. There's always gonna be naysayers, there's always gonna be that that prediction of this is what the Lord is telling you to do, this is what others say to do. There's always gonna be a wall there. Forget it, tear it down and do what the Lord says do every time. Okay, so I don't care about logic, I don't care about the crowd, I don't care about popularity. That's never been my theme. Do what the Lord is telling you to do because it's for your good, but ultimately it is for his glory. All right. As always, we want to open up our virtual altar. Hallelujah. Glory to your name, Jesus. Lord Jesus, I'm asking if there's anyone who wants to give their life to Christ, Lord, begin to touch their hearts now. Is there anyone who wants to give their life to Christ? You don't understand, and you are a part of the popular crowd, and you you don't want to be ostracized, you don't want to be looked upon differently, but your God is tugging at your heart, he's literally pulling at your heart to come be his to live for him, and he died for you, so he's all he's oh glory, he died for you, but he's asking you to live for him, hallelujah! But you don't want to be looked upon in your family or in your friend group as different, as odd. That's need that has nothing to do with it because eternity, y'all all gonna burn together. But if you know the Lord has been tugging at your heart, and that's not the way you want to go, go ahead and give your life to Christ now. Go ahead, give your life to Christ now. It's not that hard, it's not that hard, it's not, it's just literally when the Bible says, if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth, believing that he died for you, believe that the Lord God raised him, Jesus, from the dead, and that he is sitting on the right hand of the Father right now, making intercessions for you. If you believe that, okay, now just confess that Lord, I believe, Jesus. I believe I want to live for you. That's the beginning part, and the Bible says, ye shall be saved. Not you are, but you shall be with mean eventually. Keep going down that path, and you will be saved. It's simple, it's simple, it's not hard. And the same to that backslider, God blessed on this past Sunday. For I seen it, I seen her fighting with the Lord, I seen it. I seen it physically in my eyes, but I guess spiritually, but uh God gave me the opportunity to go and minister to her and to witness to her and just to speak to her, just speak God's truth to her. And she rededicated her life to the Lord. It it was a tug of war there, I could see it. So I don't believe it's as easy, per se, maybe, for you to come back to Christ because the enemy is bringing shame and all that condemnation. But all I say is right now, in the mighty name of Jesus, you remember what it was like to walk with the Lord. You remember what it was like to be in his presence, and that's what you're missing out on and trying to find out in the world. You'll never find it. You're trying you're looking for it in the world, you'll never find it. The drugs won't do it, the alcohol won't do it, the men, the women won't do it, you the food won't do it. You'll never find that that comfort that you found in the Lord, and it's just simple as saying, Lord, forgive me, Jesus, forgive me. I'm coming back. It's simple. There's a tug of war there, but cut the rope, let the devil go and come back to Christ. All right, okay. Um let's go ahead and end our our lesson this morning in prayer. Most gracious in the Heavenly Father, Lord, we thank you. Jesus, we thank you, we thank you, we thank you for the lesson on today. Lord, we thank you for having radical faith, Lord God, but we refuse, hallelujah, hallelujah, to have reckless behavior. We want to do everything that you've called us to do. We want to say everything that you've called us to say. We want to go everywhere that you've called us to go, Lord Jesus. Because we know if you called us there, you're gonna meet. Ooh, glory. I believe you're gonna walk with us to get there, and you're gonna be right there with us. Hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to your name, Lord Jesus. We ask that you remove every ounce of doubt, fear, and unbelief right now, Lord Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Lord God. We're asking, Lord Jesus, that you begin to raise up a spirit of radical faith that looks at your instructions immediately. Hallelujah! Glory to your name. We're not gonna debate it, Lord Jesus, we're not gonna deny it, Lord Jesus. We're going to do it exactly how you said to do. We're not going to deviate from it, Lord Jesus, hallelujah, and we're gonna do it with great delight immediately, hallelujah, exactly, hallelujah, with great delight, glory to your name, Lord God, and give us that radical faith, hallelujah, that that's infectious to others, glory to your name, Lord Jesus. Give us that radical faith that oozes out unto others, Lord Jesus, hallelujah! Glory to your name, Lord God. It's infectious, it's contagious, Lord Jesus, and they begin to move in radical faith. Glory to your name, hallelujah. I won't want you just to come back and find great faith in the earth, Lord. We want you to find great radical faith in the earth, Lord Jesus, that's not afraid to move when you say move. Glory, hallelujah! Thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord, thank you, Lord, hallelujah. As each one goes to do their faith challenge this week, hallelujah. Be with them, Lord God, let them feel your presence, let them hear you whispering in your ear. I'm with your son, I'm with your daughter. Hey, hallelujah, and bless them to move, glory to your name, hallelujah, Lord. We just thank you for your love, your grace, and your mercy. It's in Jesus' mighty name that we pray. Amen, amen, amen. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to your name, hallelujah, hallelujah. All right, y'all. Join me next week for the last episode of season three. It is entitled Becoming a Lifestyle Faith Walker. We don't want this just to be a moment in our existence, we don't want this just to be, you know, a little something that we do, but we want this to be a lifestyle, a lifestyle, hallelujah. We want a lifestyle of that activated faith that has already moved from belief, and we are actually living a bold life. All right, so join me next week as again final episode for season three.
