You Man of God: Have Faith! (Santosh Poonen)
God is looking for you to be His man/woman — like Jesus and Paul — to stand in the gap for Him (I Timothy 3:16, II Timothy 2:8, I Timothy 6:11, Ezekiel 22:30).

The only thing that limits God from doing works of power in and through us is unbelief (Matthew 13:58). Faith Lesson #1: Christ came to save sinners and to use us as an example of His grace (I Timothy 1:12-16; Ephesians 2:4-7). Faith Lesson #2: Give yourself with abandon to God because He gave Himself with abandon to you! (I Timothy 4:9-10 MSG; Romans 8:31-32): serve like a bondslave (Luke 17:1-10); be rich toward God (I Timothy 6:18-19); leave nothing undone that you ought to do (II Timothy 4:5). Faith Lesson #3: Look to the Promiser, not the answer (I Timothy 3:11-12; II Timothy 4:18): Abraham did not look at the circumstance, but at God (Romans 4:18-22; Genesis 22:17-18); true faith will outlive your life (Hebrews 11:13).
