Despite the Deadness, Call Forth your Renewal of Youth!
“As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations.” This is in the presence of him whom he believed: God, who gives life to the dead, and calls the things that are not, as though they were. Besides hope, Abraham in hope believed, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, “So will your offspring be.” Without being weakened in faith, he didn’t consider his own body, already having been worn out, (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.” (Romans 4:17-21 WEB)
It’s not that Abraham and Sarah stayed young all the way until they had Isaac.
They were allowed to age and weaken (Sarah even went through menopause), and suddenly God drastically renewed their youth when Abraham had faith that God would still be able to perform what He promised.
Faith is already inside you. Everyone has received a measure of faith, and all you need is faith the size of a mustard seed (a small amount) for it to be effective. Whatever measure you have received, it is an effective measure when you use it.
“For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3 WEB)
The state of having pure faith comes from hearing God’s word, especially when hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
It’s much more encouraging that Abraham and Sarah grew old first and then got renewed.
This gives hope to those who are already experiencing symptoms of aging in their body. Crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes, wrinkles on the skin, menopause, sagging skin—all these can be reversed by God in a moment of faith!
The passage says that Abraham “grew strong through faith”. That’s when the physical renewal of youth, strength and health happened.
Despite seeing the signs of aging all around him and Sarah, he confessed that God was still faithful to perform His promises.
If there seems to be dying areas in your body, you can “call the things that are not as though they were”.
For example, if you are experiencing significant hair loss, instead of resigning to the ravages of death, you can keep confessing, “Thank you Lord for blessing me with a beautiful head of healthy hair!”
When you call the things that are not as though they were, God can give life to what is dead.
This kind of speaking isn’t hypocritical or lying. Remember how God caused light to come forth in the beginning of creation?
“The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.” (Genesis 1:2-4 WEB)
He saw darkness and chaos, but He spoke light to come into being. He didn’t affirm what He saw, but He confessed what He wanted to see.
Dear brethren, don’t consider the deadness of your own body, but count God faithful to fulfill His promises! There are many youth renewal revelations in the Bible and it would be an honor for me to expound them to you through my eBooks “Beautiful, Healthy and Strong Like Jesus” and “Younger and Younger Devotionals”.
