Can you see beyond what your circumstances present?
If you want to achieve something you’ve never done, you’ll need to start doing things you’re not use to – you need to start walking by faith.
Many people struggle to attain more than they’re use to because what they’re use to and have evidence of has set the bar for their expectations.
Unless we’ve experienced it, we have difficulty believing it can happen for us.

Sometimes we fail to acknowledge we’ve already been provided blueprints. In most instances, other individuals will have achieved what we aspire to have for ourselves.
That’s reason enough to know it’s possible.
Jesus said in Matthew 17:20, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, and you say to this mountain be thou removed to yonder place, and it shall be removed.
You may only have faith the size of a grain as He states – but what if I told you, that’s all you need.

Our experience and perception of life is determined by our beliefs. If we believe we can’t, we won’t and if we believe we can, we will.
Our belief system drives our actions both consciously and subconsciously.
However, what we believe on a subconscious level has more bearing on our lives than what we believe on a conscious level.

Think of it this way.
Your conscious mind is your manual mind and your subconscious mind your automatic mind.
The beliefs we implement via our manual mind, directly determine the output of our automatic mind.
To obtain the benefits of our automatic mind, which is responsible for our life outcomes, we must feed it intentionally and fruitfully via our manual mind.
To do this, we must elevate our thought processes bombarding ourselves with conscious thoughts that are reflective of our anticipated outcomes.

It’s imperative we see things as though they are even whilst they’re not – that’s what ‘now’ faith is.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen – Heb 11:1.
This practice is what sets people apart.
Most are unable to see past their current limitations because they’re moved by what they see.
Individuals who achieve outcomes that aren’t the norm are moved by what they believe.

To move our lives beyond the norm, we must be driven by what we believe, and our beliefs must align with the outcomes we anticipate no matter how unfamiliar they are.
Similarly, our actions in the now must also be reflective of our expectations because faith alone isn’t enough.
James 2:26 mentions that faith without works is dead.
It wasn’t until I began acting on my faith, that the above scripture made sense to me.

When we apply our faith practically, we feed the strength of our belief. The grain we began with eventually grows until our faith reaches a strength that is immovable.
Once immovable, it overtakes every crevice of our mind, our being, our behaviours, and our actions until ultimately, it produces our desired outcomes.

Apple iPhones seemed an impossible invention when we didn’t have them, but the faith and diligence of Steve Jobs saw the creation of something we’d never experienced.
His belief in his vision superseded the absence of his products existence. He didn’t just believe, he acted on his belief.

Don’t wait to be ready before you act – there will never be a good time.
Act on the little faith you have with things as they are now and if you can do this consistently, and grow as you learn, you will move your life beyond its current limits.
I serve the God of the impossible and I trust in His word more than that of men. He’s provided enough principles and reassurances to let us know we can do the unthinkable.
Trust His word, play your part and watch your life change.
