The Critical Factor of Faith
We all know that miracles are a gift—freely given by the Holy Spirit. Yet, if we’re honest, we’ve all faced moments when the miracle we needed didn’t manifest. In those moments, we often turn inward and start judging ourselves or even questioning God. We assume we know why the miracle didn’t happen—and then, based on those assumptions, we try to fix the problem in our own strength.
But here’s the truth: when we’re in need, God doesn’t tell us to seek a miracle first—He tells us to seek wisdom. The critical factor in faith is knowing and trusting what God is saying!
Wisdom may have many definitions, but one thing is certain: true wisdom always leads to practical application. It shows us how to walk out God’s promises in real life. That’s why Scripture says wisdom is the principal thing—the most essential factor of all. Get wisdom before you attempt to devise your plan!
God knows what’s in your heart. He knows the path you’re able to walk—the path that will lead you to the life you desire. Without wisdom, we waste time chasing what worked in the past or trying to imitate someone else’s formula. But when we seek God first, the Holy Spirit unfolds the map, showing us where and how to walk!
Join me this week as we discover why wisdom is the critical factor in faith —and how God wants to show you the exact path to activate faith in your heart and bring His promises to life!

Every day, signs are unfolding right before our eyes. The question is: Why don’t we recognize what they mean?
In last week’s message, we discovered that we are responsible for understanding the signs of the times. Proverbs 25:2 tells us, “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter.” The original Hebrew reveals something powerful about the verse: God is not trying to hide His truth from us. On the contrary, He longs to reveal His goodness and deliver us from danger. When truth seems hidden, it is often our own hearts that keep us from seeing what is plainly before us.
Take Pharaoh, for example. When the Scriptures say God hardened his heart, the Hebrew indicates that it was Pharaoh’s own pride and fear of losing power that blinded him to God’s message. In the same way, many today close their hearts and miss what God is showing them.
But God wants us to see. When He prepared to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, He asked, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?” (Genesis 18:17). Why? Because Abraham was God’s friend, and God knew Abraham would use this revelation to guide his children and bless the world.

This week, I’d like to share with you some powerful keys to help you recognize and understand the times we are living in. Don’t miss this message—it could change the way you see everything happening around you.
