Faith Believes

 

The only way to come to God through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ;  is through

faith. That’s the only way to be saved. 

You can’t work your way into salvation.

You can’t give your way into salvation 

You can’t repent your way into salvation 

You can’t cry your way into salvation

You must believe that he is ( that’s faith).

And you must believe that he will reward you for seeking him diligently, ( that’s faith)

Hebrews 11:6

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Faith is Persuaded Before the Package Shows Up

 

It’s evident, that you shall receive packages sent by friends or family, or just something your ordered. (This is a shout out for amazon shopping, I love it! Lol!) Yet when God says that what you need has been sign sealed and delivered through the blood of his Son, what is your response? The righteousness of faith speaks this way, “I don’t have to go up to heaven to get what he promised, neither does it say, I need to bring Jesus down to my room to touch my body, but what does it say, the word of faith is in near me even in my mouth and in my heart, ( That is the WORD OF FAITH WHICH PAUL PREACED). This is a paraphrase of theses verses. Hebrews 10:6-8. For in putting the word in your mouth and keeping it protected in your heart, you will be persuaded before the package from heaven shows up.

Faith Considers the Word

 

What you consider and keep in mind, will enter your heart and produce in time. I know there is a mountain that looms ahead, but consider the word, being strong in Faith; and the stress presented shall be erased. That mountain can’t remain as you turn your attention completely to the word.
Romans 4:19-21

19 And being not weak in faith, (Abraham,) he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform

Faith and The Wisdom of God

 

 

Pull Back

Mounting circumstances increasing in intensity, pull back. Get to a safe position, then find out what God knows about this situation before you proceed.

14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired to kill Jesus. 15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. Large crowds followed Him, and He healed them all.. Matthew 12:14,15

Faith in An Instant

 

Walking the shores of Galilee, it wasn’t so difficult for men to believe.
The Carpenter Of Nazareth perform mighty works, repairing men’s lives, restoring their worth. His power released, the miracles did flow, in great expectancy, the people did go. Demonstrations of what was preached, destroyed every doubt, and demons and disease were both driven out.
Instantly, the blind did see, the dead were raised, the people received. Yet,
Even today, the Carpenters still vies, to get your attention, for miracles still flow.
Surround yourselves with those who believe, then miracles you then shall receive.

Mark 16: 17-20

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Faith Presses Past The Masses

 

Have you ever been pressured to silence when if you had just pressed a little while longer you would have received a blessing? Many times the masses are going cross ways with God’s Spirit. In other words you begin to reach out to receive the provision that Christ purchased for you, then those around begin to discourage you by saying, “you’d better be careful, God is not interested in those things now, you go to the doctor, and get medical attention ASAP.” Thank God for medical science, it is beneficial in many ways, but if you have something medical science can’t help, some will say that’s just your lot in life. Why are you trying to get out of the will of God. If your willing to rise above the voices of the masses, then Jesus will see you as he passes, and you will walk with him in the provision he gave his life that you could walk in.

Mark 10:42

46 Next, they came to Jericho. And as Jesus and His disciples were leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48 Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.”

So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”

50 Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.

51 “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked.

“Rabboni,” said the blind man, “I want to see again.”

52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

Faith Ignoring Relationship

 

Following steps and procedures, with faith’s principles in mind, 

should never replace the abundance of grace in his fellowship divine.

For what you manage to obtain, eventually will be obtained in vain, if the Lord’s approval was not sought out, for faith without relationship leads to drought. ( that doesn’t mean your faith didn’t produce things yet, you stand in jeopardy of anarchy and great pride.)

Psalm 127a

127 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it:

Faith Refuses Embarrassment

  • Do you know who you are, or will you be moved away in shame?

Mark 5:39-42

39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. 40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. 41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment. 

Refuse to be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord and watch your victories increase.

Another Hero Of The Faith

 

Saul/Paul the Apostle

Against all hope, at first his heart was set to persecute the church. But what an encounter he had that day, the Lord Jesus met him while he was on the way;
his regular routine to waste and destroy, he fell from his horse and rose up a new boy. ( actually he was a man but that fit within the rhythm and plan). From Darkness to light just like that, he Heralded the Gospel across the Land.

Don’t let your past stand in between you and your call, God’s Grace is enough just ask the Apostle Paul.

1 Corinthians 15:10

But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Faith Moves Object

 

“See that cyst, It won’t be there anymore. I’ve taken God’s word and rooted it out!

My Faith in his Word has removed it from me.” Can Faith in his word accomplish such a thing? If you apply his word, just like you would medicine, it will work without side affects. Sister How can that be? 

Jesus said,” Have faith in God. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

The Key is to have faith and doubt not. That takes some stick to it perseverance. But if your unwilling to relent, whatever mountain that’s been sent, will be uprooted and planted into the sea, for many have this testimony including me.
