Faith is an Act
Luke 17:11-17
Go show yourselves to the priest
My brothers and sisters there comes a time when you have heard so much word, if you don’t start exercising what you’ve heard, you will confuse your own heart. Your faith will work for you, but you must start exercising it. That word which you have spoken over and over again, and seen with these eyes of your heart, and given thanks for; needs one more step. You have to start acting like it’s so. If you’ve declared that your needs are met, (not going to be met, are met), according to his riches in glory by Christ, you must act as though the money has come in. You must act as though the bills have been paid in full, by your continued thanks giving and not backing up in your commitments to give to God and to others. Walk Around with a smile on your face attesting to his glorious grace. Plan your budget around what you believed that you received. And walk on the water with Jesus until every dime has come in. But my God shall supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. The same is true about believing that you are healed by his stripes. Isaiah 53:5. Walk around giving thanks that it sure is good to be well. Prepare an activity that you would do if you were in tip top shape. If you’ve been unable to move your arm or legs, begin making efforts to move them now. This is an ingredient that has been left out of the faith walk. Once again, once you’ve meditated, given praise that it’s not going to happen that you have it now, start acting as though it has come to pass. Then you will move from Faith to sight.
For its Faith that’s acted upon that brings results.
Luke 17:11-16
11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
