Hebrews chapter 11 is filled with the names of saints of old who marched by faith. Can you hear them? Tramp. Tramp. Tramp. There they go—receiving the blessings of God. By faith, these men and women subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, and escaped the edge of the sword.
Can you hear that same sound today? It’s the sound of those who are marching by faith. Tramp. Tramp. Tramp. Listen, and you can hear them. It’s the sound of those who are possessing the promises of God. They are marching by faith to receive what God has said is theirs. They have the promises of God lined up in their sights, and they’re not letting go.
They’re marching by faith in a God Who has said that all things are possible to those who believe. They’re marching by faith in a God Who has promised to supply whatever they need.
Quit standing on the sidelines. Grab hold of the Word of God, jump out, and begin to march. Tramp. Tramp. Tramp. Dare to open your mouth and say what God said. Begin marching by faith for your victory.
I won’t say it will be easy. Things will not always turn out the way you expected. The truth is, you will experience a few setbacks. Heaven’s hall of fame is filled with individuals who had setbacks. But they kept going even after failure and defeat; they persevered and believed God.
Although you may get weary, you have to learn to keep on marching. Keep on going.
Look closely at the people you are marching with—those named in the Word of God and those who are around you. You will find that you are surrounded by the imperfect, the undignified, the unwanted, the rejected, and the unrecognized. You’ll find the scarred and the wounded, the crippled, the battle weary, and the exhausted. But that’s not the entire story. These men and women have marched past their feelings. They have marched beyond the point of emotional sensitivity. They are obeying the commands of God and are marching their way to victory. I can hear them march. Tramp. Tramp. Tramp. There they go. You can hear them marching to receive the promise of God.
You can hear them marching to obey the call of God on their lives. You can hear them marching as they persevere and overcome every obstacle that gets in front of them.
I want to urge those who are wounded, battle scarred, crippled, and too exhausted to get back up: Stand up now and start marching.
And say this as you go:
“I’m marching by faith. I’m receiving all God has for me. I’m receiving everything the Bible says belongs to me. I’m obeying God and His call. I’m going to walk over the top of everything that gets in my way. I’m going to march to victory. There are not enough devils in hell to keep me from getting my victory. I’m not turning back. Nothing can stop me. By faith, here I go! Hallelujah!”
