Do You Ever Ask God For Outrageous Things?

Most of us never experience outrageous things because we never dream of outrageous things. We are scared to hope or pray outrageous things because it feels unrealistic. Here, Jesus dares you to believe, act, and pray beyond all sensible limits. He invites you to engage in a tremendous adventure beyond what reasonable people would think possible. Really, a mountain being thrown into the sea?

“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” – MARK 11:22-24

But the essential point is true: God’s power is limitless. Unfortunately, our faith tends to struggle to catch up. Whenever you notice your faith shrinking, when you find yourself lowering your expectations of what God can do around and through you, remember Jesus’ incredible invitation. Then boldly ask. Believe. Anticipate. And see what incredible, impossible, outrageous acts of God will follow.

Pray:

GOD, I have limited you in my life with weak prayers and small faith. My petty requests have only reinforced small thinking and have belittled the great things you want to do for and through me. God, today I bring big and outrageous prayers to you, believing you will do great things as my great God.

Today, take action:

  • ADMIT: What feelings does this topic invoke?
  • BRING: What issues do you need to address?
  • INFORM: What does the text say to do?
  • DETERMINE: What steps do you need to take?
  • EXECUTE: What action will you take?

Faith Miller grew up in a Christian home. She watched her father found Resolute, which inspired men to live with greater conviction, become mentors, and be mentored. She also noticed there were many women who came to him in hopes of finding the resources they craved. Faith realized how much of a struggle this was for women, not just men. Faith is currently living in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is presently completing her degree at Bethel University. She is following in her father's footsteps in hopes of creating resources for Christian women that inspire them as much as he has inspired Christian men
