Awake to God's Miracle Power - Ft. Wayne

What does it look like to truly trust God when every voice around us is announcing defeat? This message takes us deep into that question, anchoring us in the story of Lazarus in John 11. When Jesus stood before the tomb, he did not bow his head in quiet resignation. He lifted his eyes upward, spoke directly to the Father, and cried out with a loud voice. That posture tells us everything. There is something profound in the idea that the voice of faith must be louder than the voice of circumstance. When the world says be quiet, when fear says stand down, when five doctors say it is over, the response of a Spirit-filled believer is not silence but declaration. We are reminded that our words, hooked up with the living God, carry creative power. The same God who spoke the universe into existence has placed that capacity for life-giving speech inside each of us. The message also draws a striking parallel between Lazarus being called out of the grave and the areas of our own lives that have gone cold or dormant. Dead dreams, broken relationships, failing health, suffocating fear. Jesus did not say stay there. He said here, now, out. That word is still being spoken over us today, and we have the authority to agree with it.
