Samuel Rodriguez Offers Prophetic Insight Into Shifting the Destiny of Nations in a Single Day — Charisma News

In the book of Genesis, God spoke creation into being in six days and rested on the seventh. In the book of Joshua, we read that the Israelites marched around the city of Jericho, also for seven days, and when they blew their ram’s horn, the walls of the city fell. The prophet Jonah survived in the belly of a “large fish” for three days, and in all four Gospels, we learn that Jesus Himself was crucified, buried and raised again in three days as well.

The Bible is full of stories that span mere days in order to complete incredible, impossible and often unimaginable things. And yet, in our pragmatism—or perhaps in our lack of faith—most of the church has given up such ambitious pursuits. Anything of consequence, say like asking God for the nations (Ps. 2:8), we’re told would take decades to accomplish, if it’s even possible in the first place.

But what if we truly began believing that we could ask God for more than what the world says is possible? What if we stopped relying on our own strengths and had faith enough to hear the words Jesus told us:

“He who believes in Me will do the works that I do also. And he will do greater works than these, because I am going to My Father. I will do whatever you ask in My name, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If you ask anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:12-14).

Or as C.S. Lewis famously wrote, “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak … We are far too easily pleased.”
