What we want to get today is what God did in Abraham.

Abraham, the Bible says, had trouble believing. He faltered, he had trouble, and he struggled to believe. But the Bible says this about Abraham, when God showed up in Genesis chapter 17; He pulled Abraham’s history off of his life by discarding his name. “You are no longer THAT, you are now ABRAHAM, for a ‘father of nations’ have I made you.” And he became, by way of God’s decree, what God said he would be.

Now, He had told him, “You’re going to have a son.” But this time He told him, “You are a father of nations,” get with it. Grab it, download it, be it, do it.

So what we need to understand is, God is wanting this generation, (just like Abraham), to stop struggling to believe we are what God said we are. If God called us something in the generation that we’re standing in, it is incumbent upon us not to struggle in false humility saying, “Well, I’m trying to believe the promises of God.” You think God’s impressed with that? God’s not impressed with the struggle, God is impressed when you say, “It’s true, because You wouldn’t lie.”
