There was a time when, my family, friends, and neighbors would have thought that “Crazy Faith” would be a perfect title for my autobiography! :)
I know that this is true, because once, when I was in the final months of my pregnancy, (you know, the pregnancy that I prayed 10 years for), I heard someone talking to a neighbor, saying; “We all thought that Faith was losing her mind!… While she was struggling with her health and praying for another baby, her mother and sister would call and say, “We’re really concerned about Faith..” They thought that I was going crazy!!! I was never told this before, so when I heard it, I laughed, and said, “That’s OK… They thought that Noah was crazy too, but it sure did rain didn’t it? So, I’m in good company!”
It all began 15 years earlier, when I read Luke 8:48, “Daughter, your faith has made you whole…”, and from that moment on, there was no turning back for me… I believed it.
Of course, I myself, don’t think it’s “crazy”, but lots of people might consider it crazy to believe for something that seems impossible. Reading those words as a young 24-year-old, and believing that God had spoken to my heart, “fueled” me to move forward in faith, convinced and certain, that God would bless me, despite my physical circumstances.
Is there something that you would like for God to do for you, but you think that it’s impossible, or not important enough, or too big, to ask for?.. Ephesians 3:20 says that God is “…able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,..” The power at work in us includes our faith! Many times when Jesus healed someone, he said, “according to your faith be it unto you”, or “your faith has made you whole.”
Even if it makes you look “crazy” to those around you, or, if it’s just a secret request that you haven’t mentioned to anyone else, ask God what you will, and believe with “crazy” or unexplainable faith that, “with God… nothing is impossible.”
Smiles and Blessings,

Such an encouraging message. God bless you even more for having the courage to step out in “crazy faith.”
Thank you and God bless you too! :)
Thankyou for this post. It has motivated me to keep on asking God to heal my horrendous hormonal imbalance that wreaks havoc with my mood and causes bad PMS. God can do it!

Thank you Merryn. :)
This is very encouraging. Your faith has stood the test of time. There is healing I need that I’m still believing God for. It calls for “crazy faith.” Your testimony is a good reminder that even when it takes some time we still need to believe.
Smiles and Blessings,

<! Your faith has stood the test of time.
love this encouragement
O my gosh. Your post gave me chills. That is the exact same verse God gave me when I was diagnosed with one of the rarest diseases in the world. The woman had an issue of blood and my disease is a blood disease I contracted when I was sex trafficked at eighteen years old. What an encouraging post.
Praise the LORD!!!! Thank you, and what a powerful testimony! I thank God for His miraculous deliverance and rescue in your life. Please feel free to share whatever you like on my “Write and Share” page listed at the top of this blog. I know that it will be an encouragement to so many, and God bless you, Nancy.❤️
We could all use a little more faith… well a lot more, actually.
