Start Walking

This powerful message takes us from grumbling to glory by exploring the profound truth that faith requires action. At the heart of this teaching is the story of the ten lepers from Luke 17, who were healed not at the moment Jesus spoke, but as they went—as they took steps of obedience toward the priests. This distinction is crucial: nine were cleansed, but only one returned to give thanks, and he was told his faith made him well. The message challenges us to examine whether we're simply standing on God's promises or actually walking them out. We learn that our spirit was formed by God Himself, as declared in Zechariah 12, and when we're born again, God deposits His glory—His goodness, mercy, and peace—within us. But this deposit requires activation through obedient movement. Whether it's forgiveness we need to extend, generosity we need to practice, or relationships we need to reconcile, the breakthrough comes as we go. The steps of the righteous are ordered by God, meaning every move we make in faith is divinely orchestrated. This isn't about seeing the full picture before we start; it's about trusting that as we walk, God reveals the path and manifests the miracle. The call is clear: stop complaining, start moving, and watch how gratitude unlocks the door to God's blessing in ways sitting still never could.
