LET YAH BE YAH

“Fear knocked at the door and faith answered. No one was there.”

—Old English Proverb

Kingdom

citizens walk by faith, not by sight, but this does

not mean our faith is blind. On the contrary.

Kingdom faith is not a leap in the dark, but a walk illuminated by

the bright light of Heaven. Kingdom faith is a con

bright light of God’s faithfulness to His Word. Kingdom faith is not a

vacillating belief in chance but a bold conviction in the credibility of the

King and government of Heaven. Kingdom faith is faith in His

faithfulness.

When we walk by faith, we see from a heavenly perspective that

is far more vast and all-encompassing than any view from the

physical plane. Circumstances and realities that are invisible from

the purely human standpoint are opened to our view because

Kingdom faith, while not based on sight, is based on vision.

Through the eyes of faith we understand that everyone was created

to ful

allows, so the fact that you and I are here on this earth is no

accident. If you are alive and breathing, God has a plan and a

purpose for your life: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares

the Lord,

‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you

hope and a future!” (Jer. 29:11). The word hope here does not refer

to wishful thinking, but to a certainty based on the unshakeable

integrity of God’s promise, even if it is not yet visible. We can

entrust our future to God because His Word is true, and because, aswe walk by faith, He gives us vision related to His purpose for each

of us.

Your purpose is your vision assignment for your life. And this vision

is revealed through faith. Many people live their entire lives and

never discover who they are or what they were meant to do.

Kingdom life means being brought out of the darkness of unknowing

into the light of purpose and relationship: “But you are a chosen

people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that

you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into

His wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the

people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have

received mercy” (1 Pet. 2:9-10).

As Kingdom citizens and God’s “chosen people,” we are the royal

children of the King. Children of earthly royalty are groomed from

birth to know who they are, what they are to do, and how they are

to behave as princes and princesses. God’s Kingdom operates the

same way. He gives you a vision of who you are and what He wants

you to do, and that vision is your life assignment from your King

and Father. Ful

Kingdom faith helps you see and understand the vision from your

Father. What vision has He given you?

Whatever your vision, one thing is certain: every vision will be

tested for authenticity. No one is exempt from tests in life, and this is

especially true for Kingdom citizens. Being born is the only

necessary quali

relate to the vision we have received. So the safest way to avoid

major tests in your life is to decide not to ful

words, just decide not to be yourself, and you won’t have too much

trouble in life. Of course you also will end up being and doing

nothing. But the moment you discover and decide to pursue your

assignment, you set yourself up for tests.

Stop believing the lie that testing is a sign that you are out of

God’s will. Not at all. Testing is a sign that you are in His will! The

devil doesn’t bother trying to stop someone who isn’t going

anywhere anyway. Your vision assignment will be tested forauthenticity. This means that God has designed life in such a way as

to test you to see if what you claim God told you to do is authentic.

So if you don’t want to be tested greatly, do little things or do

nothing. Remember: if you aim at nothing, you will always hit it.

But what’s the value in that? Anyone can fail in life. It takes

determination and faith to succeed. Ful

understanding your vision, rising to the challenge, pursuing your

purpose, and welcoming the tests that come as opportunities to

prove that your vision is authentic.

The test is not to destroy you but to prove your vision. You will never

know who you really are until you are tested. God doesn’t allow

tests in your life because He wants to destroy you. He allows tests so

that you can discover what you are made of, how thoroughly you

trust God, and how deeply you believe in your own assignment.

Abraham was tested in just this way. God had promised Abraham

a son in his old age by his barren wife Sarah. After waiting 25 years

for ful

whom God had promised to make of Abraham a mighty nation.

Then when Isaac was still young, probably in his teens, God tested

Abraham by commanding him to sacri

was testing Abraham’s faith. How far would Abraham go in his

obedience to God? The test was for Abraham’s sake; God already

knew the faith that was in Abraham’s heart, but Abraham needed to

know. Just before Abraham carried out the sacri

lay a hand on the boy,’ He said. ‘Do not do anything to him. Now I

know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from Me your

son, your only son’” (Gen. 22:12).

Abraham, already a man of great faith, came away from that

experience with an even stronger faith, as well as a better

understanding of God and the promise God had made to him.

Abraham’s vision was of a nation descended from him that would

bless all the people of the world, and now he knew beyond doubtthat God would bring it about. Abraham’s test proved his vision and

solidi

Your test probably won’t be like Abraham’s, but whatever form it

takes, it will be just as signi

proof of your vision. If God has given you a vision, He will test it.

Don’t dread the test—welcome it.God Is God; We Are Not

How do we get it into our heads that we think we know better

than God? Despite all the mistakes we make, no matter how often

we mess up, and regardless of abundant evidence to the contrary,

we persist in believing that somehow we can run our lives better

than God can. Pride lies at the heart of this attitude, the same pride

that got Adam and Eve in trouble in the Garden of Eden.

We must relax and learn to let God be God. He is God; we are not.

Anything forced to function in a manner contrary to its design

eventually malfunctions. If we try to play God, we will only wear

ourselves out with frustration and failure. More than that, we may

put our lives in danger, because God will brook no rivals. The only

proper course—not to mention the safest—is to humbly accept our

place as being created “a little lower than God” (Ps. 8:5 NASB) and

allow God to be God. This means accepting our own limitations

while acknowledging that God has none.

In Chapter One, we talked about knowing our limitations,

knowing what we are and are not responsible for and what we can

and cannot do. Now we are looking at the reverse side. First of all,

there are some things only God can do. Only God can bring a physical

universe into being out of nothing. The best we can do is to fashion

something original out of material already at hand. Only God can

create life. Scientists have sought to duplicate this in the laboratory

by gathering together the “building blocks” of life and then trying to

recreate the conditions they believe existed on earth millions of

years ago, assuming that life would spring forth spontaneously.

They have failed. Only God can change a human heart, transforming

an angry rebel into a joyful child of God. Therapy may help a

troubled person feel better about himself, but all the counseling and

pop psychology in the world cannot alleviate the central problem:

pride arising from a sinful heart. Only God can forgive sin. Only He

can root it out at the source—the human heart—and excise it. There

are some things only God can do.There are some things only God knows. One of the most honest and

most liberating things we can say to another person is, “I don’t

know.” We are so afraid to admit our ignorance, so afraid that other

people will think we are stupid. We have to be in control, or at least

make others think we are. One of the reasons there is so much

nonsense in the world is because so many people, and especially

leaders and so-called “experts,” will say anything to avoid damaging

their reputations by being seen as—or thought to be—lacking in

knowledge. Proverbs 1:7 says,

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of

knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” In other words,

the fear of the Lord is the starting point of true knowledge. We do

not know everything, and we cannot know everything. Part of

“fearing” the Lord is acknowledging the fact that there are some

things only God knows.

There are some things only God understands. We cannot possibly

comprehend everything that happens in life. Some things simply

defy our understanding. This is one reason why Kingdom faith is so

important. Kingdom faith can help us be at peace and full of

con

time when we have to say, “You know, God, I really don’t

understand this. But You do, and that’s all I need to know.” Are you

perplexed or bothered by all the things you do not understand?

Surrender your lack of understanding to God’s omniscience. Rest in

the assurance that He has everything under control, including the

things that don’t make sense to you.

There are things only God can explain. One of the biggest

hindrances many believers face in growing a mature faith is their

belief that they are entitled to an explanation for everything that

God allows into their lives. As we saw in Chapter Four, God is under

no obligation to explain either Himself or His actions to any of us.

Job was tested as severely as anyone who has ever lived, and

although he appealed repeatedly to God, he never learned why he

was tested. When God

presumption to debate life on God’s level. While Job saw God as He

was, recognized his own presumption, and repented “in dust andashes,” (Job 42:6), God never revealed the reason for Job’s trials. In

the end, from Job’s perspective, it didn’t matter. He was content to

let God be God, which means accepting the fact that there are some

things only God can explain, and that He may not always choose to

do so.

The upshot of all this is that we have to know our limits. We have

to learn to change the things we can, accept with grace the things

we cannot change, and be at peace with that balance. All things are

possible with God. So when you face the undoable, the unknown,

the incomprehensible, and the unexplainable, entrust them to the

God of the impossible.Designed for the Tests

Ultimately, faith is the only means we have for making sense of the

world and

exceed our human capacity to understand. In those situations, all we

have to go on is faith, but if our faith is in the living God and in the

integrity of His Word, then faith is all we need. Faith creates

con

with faith we can walk into the world with con

matter how the environment looks. Faith gives us the sure

conviction that we are going to win regardless of present

circumstances. It also assures us of success in the tests we are sure to

face.

Our faith is manifested by the tests it encounters. In other words,

tests reveal the nature and quality of our faith—and even whether

or not faith is present. As I’ve said before, our faith is only as strong

as the tests it survives. This is why God allows our faith to be tested.

He wants our faith not only to survive, but also to thrive, and that

can occur only in an environment of testing. As a matter of fact, God

designed us for testing. So tests are good for us, as long as they are

the right kind of tests. We test ourselves over and over with the

wrong things and then wonder why our lives are messed up. God’s

tests are engineered to suit our design and therefore serve to

strengthen and prepare us for Kingdom use.

If you buy a car that has a speedometer that reads as high as 180

mph, the manufacturer of that car is certifying that it will handle

180 mph. Perhaps you have never driven that fast, and you certainly

had no input into the calibration of the speedometer. How do you

know the car will reach that velocity? What gives the manufacturer

the right to make that claim?

Testing.

Automobile manufacturers maintain test tracks where they test

new models and designs. A test track is like a race track. When acompany designs a new engine, for example, it builds a prototype

and then mounts that prototype into a test car. A test driver

employed by the company then takes the test car onto the test track

and puts the new engine through its paces. The engineers and

company executives want to make sure the engine can perform to its

design parameters. The test driver will stress the engine and press it

to its maximum—180 mph, let’s say—and keep it there for a certain

period of time. If the prototype engine fails the test, they scrap it

and start over. However, if it passes the test—if it performs as it was

designed to perform—then the order goes out: “Replicate this

engine; reproduce it in exact detail 300,000 times.” They don’t test

every engine; they test one engine and then reproduce 300,000 in

its image. Then the company can claim that every car with that

engine can reach 180 mph. Why? Because the tested engine did it,

and if the tested engine did it, then every engine made in its image

and likeness should be able to do it also.

On the night before He died, Jesus told Peter, “Simon, Simon,

satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon,

that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen

your brothers” (Luke 22:31-32). Peter was about to be tested, and

after the bitter sorrow and regret of his denial of Jesus, Peter’s faith

would be restored and strengthened as never before. Then, when he

had passed the test, he could strengthen others.

If you are going through a tough time, it is a good sign that God wants

to use you as a model. Pass your test. Stand

di

people in your image. You may pray for God to take away the

hardship in your life, but He may want you to believe Him through

the hardship because He knows that there are some people watching

you who need to see that your faith can handle all the stress and

still come out smiling on the other side. Your faith under stress can

strengthen and encourage others to stand

The key to success in tests is faith seasoned with a healthy dose of

humility. There is no faster way to fall than to become too proud of

yourself for standing

destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” Paul reiterates this danger

in his warning to the believers in Corinth: “So, if you think you are

standing

words, Paul is saying, if you think you are strong, watch out! If you

think you have it all together, be careful! If you are prone to

criticize or judge others for their mistakes and failings, don’t do it

because you may be next! Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for

they will be shown mercy” (Matt. 5:7). It is the law of reciprocation: if

you want to receive mercy when you fall, be merciful to others who

have fallen. No one is perfect. No one is so strong in faith as to be

immune to temptation.

God realizes this, which is why He gives us a way out. As Paul

explains: “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.

And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can

bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that

you can stand up under it” (1 Cor. 10:13).

Do you think your troubles are unique? Do you think no one else

has ever gone through what you’re going through? Do you think

you are special? Think again. Nobody’s special. None of us can lay a

claim to a one-of-a-kind problem that no one else has ever faced

before. Your temptations and mine are those that are common to all

people. Not even Jesus was immune. He spent 40 days fasting in the

desert where He was tempted by the devil. He passed the test by

keeping His focus in the right place: on His Father and on the

mission His Father had given Him. This should encourage us.

Because Jesus experienced temptation Himself, He knows what it’s

like. He understands what we are going through and extends mercy

to us. This is what the writer of Hebrews had in mind when he

wrote:Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of

God, let us hold

sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we

are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with con

may receive mercy and

Because Jesus understands what we’re going through when we

are tested, He can keep us strong in it so that when the next person

goes through it, we can say from experience, “Hang in there! You’re

going to make it!” We can take courage from the fact that the Lord

is faithful, even when we are not. He can (and will) see us through

even when we fear we can’t make it. Scripture says, “The righteous

cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their

troubles…. A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord

delivers him from them all” (Ps. 34:17,19).

God is so faithful to His children, in fact, that He will not allow us

to be tempted beyond what we can bear. Who knows what an

engine can bear better than those who designed and built it? God

created us; who knows what we can bear better than He? Even we

ourselves, because of our limited vision and knowledge, do not

know our full capabilities the way God does. If you are facing a

challenge that seems insurmountable to you, just remember that

God has promised that He will not allow you to be tested beyond

that which you are able to overcome. In other words, no test will

come your way that can destroy you; God will not allow it.

Notice, however, that God will not remove all tests and

temptations from our path. To do that He would have to remove us

from the world. Instead, He limits our tests to what we can bear and

even then provides a “way out” so that we can “stand up under it.”

So whenever you face a trial, it is as if God is saying, “I know you

can handle this, so handle it! Don’t whine and don’t complain. Be

bold and courageous. Exercise your faith. Spend some of your

Kingdom currency, and stand!” Your test is a sign of God’s

con

Spirit, we may miss it. When trouble comes, we often make

assumptions as to how and when God will deliver us. We expect

Him to act in a predictable manner that we can understand. More

often than not, however, God works in unexpected ways. Then when

we don’t see God move in the way we anticipated, we get confused,

frustrated, and frightened, and may even conclude that He has let us

down.

One reason for the confusion is that we tend to focus on our own

needs and agenda while God is always acting with the bigger picture

in view. He will deliver us, but in ways designed to serve His greater

purpose and not just our own narrow interests. Daniel’s way out

was through the lions’ den. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s way

out was through the

beating and imprisonment in the Philippian jail before deliverance

came by way of an earthquake. In each of these instances,

deliverance came in a manner di

end God was glori

Suppose you have a loved one who is very sick. You pray

constantly asking God to heal this person. You bring elders from the

church to anoint your loved one with oil and pray over him or her.

You carry the sick one to healing crusades to receive special prayer

and the laying on of hands. You do everything you know to do, and

yet your loved one still dies. What now? Is God still God? Did He

answer your prayers, or did He ignore you? Oral Roberts used to say

that God heals in two ways: temporarily and permanently. In this

case, He chose to heal permanently by taking your loved one home.

He provided a way out, but in a manner di

hoped and expected.

So when you are tested, stand

but be ready for it to appear in an unexpected manner or from an

unanticipated direction. Let God be God.Knowing Our Limits

Understanding that God acts in unexpected ways is another

reason for openly acknowledging our limitations. As long as we

insist that we should know everything or be able to do anything, we

will be continually frustrated when God consistently fails to perform

according to our plan. In reality, accepting our limitations is a very

liberating experience. It is one of the key elements of Kingdom faith.

As I said in Chapter Two, when in doubt, have faith; when you don’t

know what to do, believe; when nothing makes sense, trust.

Knowing our limits frees us in ways that nothing else can. How?

Because Kingdom faith submits its limitations to the unlimited God. In

the hands of an unlimited God our limitations become strengths.

Paul stated that God’s power is made perfect in our weakness and

then declared, “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses,

in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in di

weak, then I am strong” (2 Cor. 12:10).

Knowing our limitations forces us to rely on God’s strength,

wisdom, and power rather than our own. Peter thought he could

stand up for Christ in his own strength, but su

failure when fear for his own safety led him to deny Christ three

times. Once Peter acknowledged his weaknesses and submitted them

to God, however, he became a powerhouse of faith, boldly

proclaiming Christ before kings and emperors.

Trust your limitations to the unlimited God. Don’t insist on trying

to know everything. Whatever you need to know, He will teach you.

Don’t get frustrated because of the things you cannot do. Whatever

you need to do—whatever God has called you to do—He will

empower you to do. Let God be God. Let Him bring you along as He

knows you are ready.

We would do well to consider again the words of David:

My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great

matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weanedchild with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me (Psalm 131:1-2).

Remember, these are the words of a king. David was the most

powerful king of his day. Dozens of servants were at his beck and

call. He could decide matters of life or death with a wave of his

hand. Nothing that he desired would be denied him. Yet he was able

to say, “My heart is not proud.” David remembered where he had

come from. He never forgot that he was at heart a shepherd. David

went on to say, “My eyes are not haughty.” The Hebrew word for

haughty can mean “presumptuous;” it can also mean to look down

on others with an air of superiority. Both attitudes are wrong. David

did not presume to be more than he was. He was not a man to put

on airs or regard himself as better than others simply because God

had chosen him to be king.

Neither should we. Just because we are citizens of God’s Kingdom

and children of His royal family does not give us the right to look

down our noses at others. Kingdom faith helps us stay in balance,

and part of that balance comes in remembering not only who and

where we are—children of God in His Kingdom of light—but also

who we were and where we came from—slaves of sin, bound in

satan’s Kingdom of darkness.

Next, David says, “I do not concern myself with great matters or

things too wonderful for me.” As we saw before, there are some things

that are too high for us; we cannot understand them. There are

some things we are not supposed to know right now. God has His

reasons and we need to trust Him. In a 1974 letter, Corrie ten Boom

relates a memory from her childhood:

I went to my father and said, “Daddy, I am afraid that I will never be strong enough to be a

martyr for Jesus Christ.” “Tell me,” said Father, “When you take a train trip to Amsterdam,

when do I give you the money for the ticket? Three weeks before?” “No, Daddy, you give

me the money for the ticket just before we get on the train.” “That is right,” my father said,

“and so it is with God’s strength. Our Father in Heaven knows when you will need the

strength to be a martyr for Jesus Christ. He will supply all you need—just in time…”1Kingdom faith is content to wait for God’s “just in time.” There

are times we face situations and conditions in life when it feels like

God does not care or is not aware of our predicament. There are

times when God says nothing or seems to ignore our prayers.

Kingdom faith is con

No matter how bright and beautiful our imaginings of the world

and the life we dream of, God has something better in store. But

sometimes we put so much stock in our own dreams that we cannot

imagine anything better. Don’t forget that our vision and knowledge

are limited. We must see things from God’s perspective in order to

get the full picture. Isaiah 64:4 says, “Since ancient times no one has

heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who

acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.” Paul quoted this same verse

in a slightly di

it is written: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived

what God has prepared for those who love Him’” (1 Cor. 2:9). The

scope and beauty of what God has planned for us are beyond our

comprehension. That is why Kingdom faith is so important; it

teaches us to wait for God’s best instead of settling for second best.

If we are faithful, God will reveal His “something better” in His time

and in His way.

This was the common testimony of the heroes of faith in the

Bible, as the writer of Hebrews makes clear:

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the

ancients were commended for (Hebrews 11:1-2).

The ancients were commended for their faith. A “roll call” of

these faithful people follows as the writer cites them as positive

examples: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Rahab,

Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets.

Even though these people represent multiple generations, they

shared at least one thing in common: faith in God that sustained

them to live in the sure hope of His promises, even if they did not

live to see them personally. Again, in the words of the writer of

Hebrews:All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised;

they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens

and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of

their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had

opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore

God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them…. These were all

commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned

something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect (Hebrews

11:13-16;39-40).

Another common factor linking all of these people is that they

each su

were tested and survived. They stood

storms and were still standing on the other side. For many of them,

the ultimate cost of their faith was death. But their death simply

ushered them into the fullness of eternal life, the sure hope upon

which they had anchored their earthly lives.

We will never be known for the things we avoided. We will never

be remembered for the tests we failed (unless all we do is fail).

History does not recall the cowards, the people who

of crisis, the faceless unknowns who achieved nothing in life

because they attempted nothing. No, history remembers the people

who lived (and died) by their convictions, who stood unwavering

against all odds because they believed that what they stood for was

worth the test.

People will remember us for the way we stay cool under pressure,

calm in the midst of chaos, and con

uncertainty. Only one thing can give us that kind of equilibrium in

life—kingdom faith. Faith to trust in God even when life does not

make sense. Faith to be content with our unknowing. Faith to accept

our limitations. Faith to believe, even in the middle of the storm,

that God will reward us on the other end. Faith, regardless of the

present, that the future is so beautiful and glorious that God will

purify us through the storm so that we can enjoy it to the fullest.

Faith to let God be God.Kingdom Principles

The key to success in tests is faith seasoned with a healthy dose of humility.

Kingdom faith submits its limitations to our unlimited God. Kingdom faith is con

midst of God’s silence.
