Interrupt-Part II

Do you remember the story of the 12 spies that Moses sent out to check out the land that God had given them to possess? When they returned and showed everyone the fruit they had gathered, 10 of them gave a ‘realistic’ report of giants in the land and very fortified cities but here’s what happened next; Caleb interrupted, called for silence before Moses and said, “Let’s go up and take the land—now. We can do it.” Numbers 13:30 MSG

Faith in God interrupts a negative report. It doesn’t see in the natural, it sees in the supernatural. It refuses to be told, ‘It just won’t work.’ Rather it chooses to look back at all God has done in the past and measures the current situation accordingly. When faith gets a report from the doctor saying it’s cancer, it interrupts that report and answers, “If Jesus healed them all then, He is well able to heal me now! One drop of blood is all that’s needed for me.” When the bank says they’re going to foreclose on the house, faith says, “My God will supply all my needs according to His riches in glory. If He provided for the Children of Israel, He will provide for me!” 

Mark 11:22-26; So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.  For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.  Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

What mountain are you facing today that doubt is trying to convince you can’t be moved like the fortified cities? Have faith in God. What situation are you looking at that is just too large, like the giants in the land? Have faith in God. Remember when the Israelites stood at the Red Sea with their enemies closing in? If God made a way through the sea to the other side, will He not also make a way for you? When Joshua led the people against Jericho, God gave him a plan and he followed it to the letter. For 7 days they marched around the city quietly, but the 7th day, they shouted and blew their horns and the walls came down. 

Perhaps it’s time you interrupted the plans and schemes of the enemy to take you out of the fight. Perhaps it’s time to get God’s plan for you, write it down and read it everyday, then get up and do it having faith in God. He is looking for someone who will stand up to the devil and interrupt him over your family, interrupt him over your finances, interrupt him over your body. It’s time we stopped allowing and started interrupting. When Jesus was in the wilderness fasting, the devil came and tried to tempt him, remember? He answered every temptation with the Word of God and the devil left him alone. 

We must arm ourselves with the Word and speak it over every attack of the enemy. Today is our day of salvation. Our God is a mighty God, mighty to save and deliver. Where are my Caleb’s who will join me and say, “Let’s go up and take the land—now. We can do it.”
