“And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water… that the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap.”
— Joshua 3 : 15–16 (KJV)
Faith doesn’t wait for waters to part — it steps first.
The Israelites did not see the river open until the soles of their feet touched it.
God never said, “When the river divides, then walk.” He said, “When you walk, the river will divide.”
William Branham said, “Faith always acts before it sees. If you see it, you don’t need faith. Faith calls those things which are not as though they were.” — Faith Is Our Victory (58-1004)
That’s the mystery of “wet-feet faith”: you obey while the current still looks impossible.
📖 Come with me to the Verse of the Day
“By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land.” — Hebrews 11 : 29
💭 Reflection
When Israel stood before the Red Sea, fear said, “Retreat.” Flesh said, “Wait.”
But God said, “Go forward.” (Exodus 14 : 15)
Faith walks while logic trembles.
It takes a step into what looks like death and finds deliverance waiting beneath.
True faith doesn’t negotiate with the impossible; it moves under divine command.
Branham said, “Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. If you can believe it, God will make it so.” — Faith Is Our Victory (58-1004)
Faith doesn’t wait for feelings or proof; it rests on what God said.
📖 “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5 : 7
The priests in Joshua’s day carried the ark into Jordan, not around it.
Each step into rising water was a confession that God keeps His Word.
Their obedience turned a barrier into a bridge.
Branham often said, “Faith is the substance; not a myth, not hope. Hope looks for it; faith acts as though it’s already done.” — Faith Is the Substance (51-0508)
In other words, faith doesn’t argue with the flood; it anticipates the dry ground beneath.
Every miracle begins with a moment of risk.
Peter never walked on water until he left the boat.
Abraham never saw the promise until he left his homeland.
Hannah never held Samuel until she surrendered her grief.
📖 “Faith without works is dead.” — James 2 : 26
Sometimes God will ask you to step before you see.
He calls you to plant when drought still reigns, to praise before provision comes, to forgive before feeling peace.
That’s wet-feet faith — obedience before outcome.
“God honors faith that dares to put His Word to the test. When you step out, He steps in.” — Why Cry? Speak! (63-0714M) WMB.
Heaven waits for movement.
📌 Faith moves before it’s convenient; miracles happen where feet are wet.
🌅 Takeaway
Faith is not waiting for the sea to open — it’s walking toward it while it’s still closed.
📌 Step into the promise, and the path will appear.
🙏🏾 Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ,
Give me the courage to step before I see.
When the river of impossibility stands before me, let my obedience unlock the way.
Teach me to trust Your Word more than what I see,
to move when You speak, and to believe while my feet are still wet.
Turn every flood into a testimony of faith and every step into a story of grace.
In Your holy Name, Amen.
