Believe God Can by Pastor Donny Forbes

Main message: Believe that God is able and keep trusting Him even while you wait or face pressure; change your perspective to magnify God rather than your problem, and then move in obedience and faith.

Key points:

• Faith is proved in the waiting — real faith trusts God before the visible answer, not after.
• Fear magnifies problems; faith magnifies God — shift your focus from the issue to the greatness of God (illustrated by David and Goliath).
• Trust God under pressure — like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, believe God is able, and trust Him even if the outcome is uncertain.
• Do something in faith: take the next step God asks of you (small faith used by God can produce big results).
• Practical challenge: invite the Holy Spirit daily, give God what little faith you have, and act when God leads (pastor illustrated with starting the church and stepping forward despite closed doors).
