"I will open rivers in desolate heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water." Isaiah 41.18The God of Abraham is the God of the impossible. This is what distinguishes Him from the gods of wood, stone, metal or paper. Therefore, the difference in the quality of life of those who believe in the God of Abraham has to be clear, obvious and indisputable, if compared with the life of those who rely on other gods. It's not even a matter of faith, but of intelligence.

The impossible happens

Who wants to drink?
“The poor and needy seek water, but there is none, their tongues fail for thirst. I, the LORD, will hear them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them." Isaiah 41.17
The faith that pleases God is the certainty that He will do what He promised and taking action. Unfortunately, most Christians have not seen the manifestation of God's power because they expect to "feel the faith" and only then take action. That is, they want to see in order to believe. So, they cannot take possession of the Biblical promises.
The ancient heroes of faith believed, acted out on their belief and then saw the fulfillment of God's Word.

New Israel
“But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen,The descendants of Abraham My friend.9 You whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest regions, and said to you,‘You are My servant, I have chosen you and have not cast you away:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’" Isaiah 41.8-10
Only those who are born of the water and of the Spirit realize that such promises relate to them. It is that same Spirit who testifies within them. They are the New Israel raised by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Because of that, come what may, they withstand: they were chosen from the ends of the earth to make a difference in this evil world. There is nothing to fear when we live by faith.

Prophecy
“'Present your case,' says the Lord, 'bring forth your strong reasons', says the King of Jacob." Isaiah 41.21
The God of Abraham invites His people to come before Him and present their requests. It means, the King opens Palace doors to receive those who believe they will be heard; believe that their cause will be judged and justice will be done.
On the 23rd of September, the D-Day - the day of Difference, we will all have an excellent opportunity to see the fulfillment of the following prophecy:
"Then you shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him." Malachi 3.18

Purified faith
"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ" 1 Peter 1.6-7Persecution, infamy, injustice, misunderstanding and everything else that we suffer because of our faith in Jesus are part of our trials. They may feel cruel and unjust, but it matures faith for salvation of the soul. Were it not so, surely the Spirit of God would not allow us to go through it.

Rebelliousness vs. Life
"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3.36
A marriage only works out when there is surrender of body, soul and spirit. Body mates with body, soul with soul and spirit with spirit.
The belief in God is no different. There must be total surrender of body, soul and spirit. If one of then is lacking, then you lack belief. And if there's no belief, the wrath of God remains.

2 - Dress up in Righteousness, meaning leave sin;
3 - Put on the boots of Peace, meaning get rid of anger;
4 - Embrace the shield of Faith, meaning resist doubts;
5 - Put on the helmet of Salvation, meaning flee from sin;
6 - Occupy your mind with the sword of the Spirit: God's Word, meaning flee from futile reading and vain things;
7 - Stay in prayer and supplication in the Spirit rather than worrying about vanities;
8 - Also, always watch and do not let your faith be distracted.
