Faith! It is whatever if you desire success. If you are the type of individual who says, "I'll think it when I see it," you do not require faith since you don't UNDERSTAND faith. Faith is thinking before seeing. If you are that kind of individual who has no understanding or need of faith, then it is most likely that the POWER that faith unleashes may never ever be readily available to you.

2 Corinthians 6:2 says, "... now is the time of God's favor." That indicates that God wants to show you His goodness, his favor right now ... not tomorrow, not next week, however today! However are you prepared to receive His favor. Well the answer depends upon your faith due to the fact that faith specifically, "right-now" faith, is needed to totally get "ideal -now" favor. (Favor is word that merely indicates undeserved true blessings from God ... likewise referred to as Grace).

Envision you have remained in a desert without "water" for days maybe weeks. You feel as though you are literally dying of thirst. All around you, there is absolutely nothing but parched earth, sand and no plants.( Sound familiar?) Now picture, right now, God wants to satiate your thirst by drizzling down fresh living water, however how will you gather the water? Where is your container? What is the size of the container? What no container ... that might mean you get little to NO water. The container is a metaphor for your faith and water being a metaphor for God's favor or grace. The GREATER your faith the MORE you have the ability to get God's favor. And the greater your RIGHT-NOW FAITH the greater your RIGHT-NOW FAVOR. So here is a concern. How's your container? Where's your container? Is it ready today? How big is it? Are you expecting rain today, how about right now ... or are you anticipating more thirst and more desert?

Take for instance Mel Fisher, a dreamer, a visionary, and a famous treasure hunter. Mel Fisher had extraordinary faith and suffered numerous personal losses to keep his dream alive during his 16 year look for the Spanish treasure galleon the Atocha. He sustained over 100 court fights which would finally end in triumph in the US Supreme Court. The riches Mel Fisher and his group had actually worked so hard for all those years were finally theirs. The $450 million dollar treasure cache or "Atocha Mom Lode" would be discovered on that momentous day, July 20, 1985. Over 40 tons of silver and gold were located consisting of over 100,000 Spanish silver coins referred to as "Pieces of Eight", gold coins, Columbian emeralds, silver and gold artifacts and over 1000 silver bars. Everybody on his group understood Mel Fisher's faith-driven mantra by heart, "Today's the Day!" He would state over-and-over every day for 16 years. His mantra continues to motivate individuals who back their dreams with "today" faith no matter how grand by human requirements.

Let's now take "today" faith and apply it to organisation. How huge is your faith in your organisation or career "today?" Are you anticipating rain or more desert ... today? Would you want to change your attitude and faith today and follow Mel Fisher's well-known mantra and say, "today is the day!" Today is the day that you are anticipating God to do something amazing. Today is the day you are expecting breakthrough. Today is the day you are anticipating that sale. Today is the day you are anticipating that contract. Are you ready to state right now, this extremely minute I am going out my container and expecting rain? When God said in His word that I AM the terrific I AM. He did not state I AM the fantastic I WAS or I AM the excellent WILL BE ... no He said I AM ... that is as in NOW! Right now! Once again, are you prepared? Are you happy to have real faith today?

Can you picture how sad it might be if you had the most incredible service chance in front of you, the most perfect timing, however the INCORRECT attitude ... a mindset that kept you from having RIGHT-NOW FAITH ... an attitude that kept you from God's RIGHT-NOW FAVOR?
