I Need Some Motion

Part of Faith Moves

Summary

In this message, Dr. Dharius Daniels teaches that true biblical faith is not passive optimism, but active movement. Drawing from the nature of God as a miracle worker and Abel's sacrifice in Hebrews 11, Dr. Daniels emphasizes that miracles are found on the other side of motion. Believers are challenged to act like God is telling the truth and to honor Him by sacrificially reallocating their resources toward what matters most.

Key Points

1.The Incarnation celebrates God stepping into human limitation so that limited people can experience divine power and expansion.
2.Working miracles is not merely an action God performs; being a Miracle Worker is an essential part of His nature.
3.A miracle occurs when God temporarily suspends or alters a natural law to accomplish His divine plan.
4.Believers often miss or misdiagnose God's miracles by labeling His interventions as luck, coincidence, or personal effort.
5.Faith works the principle attached to a divine promise in order to possess what God has guaranteed.
6.Biblical faith requires motion; faith is a deep conviction that provokes actionable obedience.
7.Faith can be summarized in three words: 'act like it'—living as if God's promises are completely true.
8.True sacrifice is the painful reallocation of resources from something that matters to something that matters more.

Sermon Moments

“Jesus didn't die just to teach me how to die; He died to show me how to live.”

“Working miracles isn't just what He does; a Miracle Worker is who He is.”

“A miracle is when God suspends or alters a natural law to accomplish His divine plan.”

“You look at your story highlighting your grit and grind, but the only way you got here was because there was some God, not just some grind.”

“Miracles are often on the other side of motion.”

“Faith is acting like God is telling the truth.”

“If God says He will supply all your needs—act like it!”

“Sacrifice is the ability to painfully reallocate resources from something that matters to something that matters more.”

This Week

Identify an area of your life that feels stagnant and take one concrete step of action this week.
Reevaluate recent successes and explicitly give God credit for miracles you previously attributed to luck or personal hustle.
Choose one specific Bible promise this week, identify the principle attached to it, and put that principle into practice.
Practice the 'act like it' response by aligning your daily attitude and choices with God's promise of provision and protection.
Audit your daily schedule to reallocate time away from non-essential activities toward spiritual growth and service.
Examine your heart for entitlement or jealousy regarding others' spiritual progress, focusing instead on your personal sacrifice.
Commit to giving God your first and best in time, energy, and finances rather than giving Him remaining leftovers.

Remember This

Faith is acting like God is telling the truth, and miracles happen when we put motion to our belief.

A Challenge for You

Reallocate your resources toward what matters most, put motion to your faith, and live every day as if God is telling the truth.
