Every day I listen to Christians. Some speak of love, some speak of judgement. But one thing I have heard time and time again, is this,
“Oh I wish I had the gift of healing, but I am no Todd White or Heidi Baker. I can’t evangelize like Kim Walker or Will Hart. That would be amazing to have such power, to have God use me in such amazing ways, but…..”
and that’s usually where the statement ends.
Heidi Baker, Darrin Wilson, Todd White, Kim Walker, Will Hart, the list goes on and on. It seems sometimes people put these Christians on a pedestal, viewing them as the “extraordinary christians” who have some exclusive power or gift that we have no hope of receiving, let alone performing.
And with those doubts, we put the power of God in our lives in a box, cutting ourselves off from being used by God for these very same miracles, revivals, and ministries.
We as Christians have to realize that our doubt in the power of God is the only thing standing in our way from the miraculous. Our doubt is the only roadblock stopping us from being used in such a way that will blow minds, heal bodies, cast out demons and glorify God to the extent that He desires, by making the impossible possible so the world can see that this is for real, that He is for real, and that we are loved in such a way that we will never fully comprehend.
You want to know a secret about these “extraordinary christians”, they are nothing special. Not to say that their faith in God or the things that they are doing are not extraordinary, because they are. What I am saying is that the gift that they received to be able to do these incredible things is the exact same gift that every one of us as believers has been given, the Spirit of God.
It is not Heidi who restores sight to the blind, it is God. It is not Todd who strengthens the legs of those who cannot walk so they are able to stand and walk after years of being crippled, it is the power of God, in him.
Do not limit what God can do through you…because God is limitless. Let go of all the understanding and logic that this world has embedded in us from birth and know that God’s power is alive and active in you.
I cannot emphasis enough that you CAN do these things, if you believe in His power, love and faithfulness.
My prayer is for a revival of the Spirit, let’s step out on faith and get started!!

I love this brother! I just recently did a blog about doubt as well. It can be hard to trust in God and believe that he will accomplish great things with us. especially because the world makes you feel like you have to possess some special quality from birth in order to be special or worth watching paying attention to or listening to. Great stuff brother!!!!!!!!!!!
