Faith Is

 

Faith is (present tense). If its not right now, its not faith. If it’s just around the corner, it’s not faith. If you say God is going do it, its not faith. If you see things off in the future its not faith. Faith is! Faith is! If you say I don’t know why its taking so long, (without proper preparation ) it will never come. If you say just keep praying for me, ( for the very same thing), you’ll remain the same. If you see yourself any other way than having your answer right now, your not in faith. Faith calls those things that be not as though they were. Let me repeat that, faith calls those things that be not as though they were.

Romans 4:17-25 King James Version (KJV)

17. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

18. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19..And being not weak in faith, 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.

22. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24. But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

25. Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faith Delights in the Unseen

 

When your operating in the God kind of faith, your vision is clear. Your seeing things that other men and women don’t see. For if they did, they’d be delighted like you.

A faith man or woman sees God’s salvation demonstrated daily. A Faith man or woman sees those who they’ve prayed for with their answer. A faith man or woman boy or girl, sees the home full of love and peace. For in the midst of the faith man or woman’s mind, is the picture that all that God said has become true. Here are a list of some of those things:

Psalms 23:1 The LORD IS my shepherd; I shall not want.

Philippians 4:19 And my God will supply all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

Psalms 103:2-5

  1. 2. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
  2. 3. Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
  3. 4. Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
  4. 5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
  5. Acts 16:31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
  6. (When you believe in your heart,  you step into the manifeststion right then in your soul, then it is portayed in the natural for God and his Word are good as Gold.)
  7. Psalms 91:16. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
  8. Psalms 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Faith Walks Over Obstacles

Does there seem to be so many things standing between you and you faith? Nay but the Lord has clearly heard you today. 

Mark 2:1-5;11b

  1. And again he entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. 3. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 5.  When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.  11b. …Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

Faith Releases Your Angels

 

When you go about your daily living. You pick up on something. Then you begin to speak, or rather you gather your thoughts and readjust your position from the inside. And you hold your peace, and only release, the promise made to you by God’s word in that situation.

So instead of binding the angels that work on your behalf, you release them, and boy! You sure are glad, that once before you spoke God’s word’s; speaking for victory, and his blessings did shower down upon thee. You will consistently receive, as you draw not back from the word of God, speak up, and believe. 

Psalms 103:20

  1. Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his words

Faith Rejoices!

Come On, Let’s Get Excited!

John 16:24 

New International Version

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

Friends are you thrilled with the Word of God? That’s when it works for you, when you get so thrilled, you can hardly be still! 2 Chronicles 16:9a says:

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. A perfect heart is full of love and joyful expectancy. When your expectations with Joy, supersedes those seeming contradictions that stand as a wall before you; and you determine to rejoice just because God said to, you will move from Faith to sight, and your jubilance it will ignite!

Faith Filled Words

 

Your words proceed from your heart. Change the production of your heart and your words will carry the power to change things. Years and years of programing the heart, must be changed so after the Gospels you think. For your heart is where the power lies, an impenetrable fortress of life or demise. You are controlled by what you’ve observed and listen to and then spoke all of your life. Now God is calling you up higher. Meditate, meditate, day and night it’s not to late. Put the words of God within you. Then you and only you, will spring forth a fresh with good things a new.

Matthew 15:18-20a

 18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man:..

Luke 6:46

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Proverbs 4:23

Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

And These All, having Obtained a Good Report Through Faith

 

 

We see through Hebrews 11 how that God preformed miracles, for those who operated in faith. Look up each testimony in the scriptures. Determine in yourself to walk  by Faith this year, more than ever before

4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 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. 7. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

The Faith of Abraham

(Genesis 15:1-7; Romans 4:1-12; Galatians 3:1-9; James 2:14-26)

We see through Hebrews 11 how that God preformed miracles, for those who operated in faith. Look up each testimony in the scriptures. Determine in yourself to walk  by Faith this year, more than ever before.

8. By  faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10. For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11. Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 12. Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

13. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.  14. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15. And  truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

17. By  faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18. Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19. Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

The Faith of Isaac, Jacob, Joseph

20. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 22. By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

The Faith of Moses

23. By  faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment. 24. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25. choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29. By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do so were drowned.

30. By  faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

The Faith of Many

(Joshua 2:1-14)

31. By  faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

32. And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33. Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34. Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35. Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36. And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37.They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain  the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; 38(   Of  wihom he world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.39. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith…

Faith is a Shield

When  your Faith, that is like a seed, is planted in the garden of your heart; if there were no adversary; all you would have to do is tend to it naturally and it would spring forth and produce a harvest. We are faced with the enemy of our souls. The enemy to all that is good. An enemy to all that is right. And if you are unaware of his presence, you will be baffled when at first you speak God’s words of life, then it looks like all hell breaks loose around you. Jesus said persecution and affliction arises for the word’s sake. That’s Satan trying to snatch that word out of the ground of your heart before it can take root. Many not knowing this, have become offended when they spoke God’s word and darkness seemed to prevail. That’s why you need the full armor of God found in Ephesians the 6 chapter. And above all you must take the shield of faith, so that you can put out, stop, quench; not some of the fiery darts, but all of them. Faith calls things that be not as though they were. That’s not lying, that’s saying what God says about the situation. Faith is not moved by contradictatory circumstances, it only speaks what God speaks. Faith doesn’t cave in under emotional battles, it brings the emotions in line with the word of God. It’s by faith you receive a harvest, because, you believed the whole way through the process. Come on, develop your faith now, so that you will be a force to be reckoned with in the future.

Eph. 6:10-17

10. Finally , my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God   In his service:

Faith Says, All the Promises Of God are Yes and Amen!

Faith Says, “ All the Promises Of God are Yes and Amen!

Glad your hear. Let’s come to the place that we will be able to say through the vehicle of faith, that all The promises of God to me are yes and amen to the Glory Of God the Father. Hear the scripture once again: 

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God 2 Cor. 1:20. Isn’t that thrilling! He has given us to the privilege to speak the promises Christ made, ( every single one of them I might add); and give the Amen. To the Glory Of who? It’s to the Glory Of God. Oh it gives God great Glory to see his children walking in the fullness of what he promised. You see when we’ve so established ourselves in these present truths, these truths establish themselves in our lives. The Word of God wants to come in and set up the establishment in your heart. It wants to organize, reorganize , dictate , take control of, be the navigator, call all of the shots, govern and internalize it procedures and operations in your way of thinking. In order to do this, a metamorphosis must take place. So don’t interrupt its process. Give yourself wholly. That’s your whole spirit, soul, and body to the total development of his promises. You see your body will respond in any direction you permit. Your mind will go in ant direction you choose. Want to get it under control? There was a song of  Old called “Night and Day.” You can see change as you go at it night and day.  Mark 4:27 

  1. Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground. 27. Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how. 28. All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within. 29. And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.” You can receive the harvest of every promise made by Jesus who is the Christ. In his Service Alberta Richard

Your Faith Can Make You Whole

 

A Woman With an Issue of Blood (Matthew 9:20–22, Mark 5:25–34, Luke 8:43–48)

A very we’ll renowned Minister lay a dying at age 16. He suffered from an incurable heart disease, and almost total paralysis. The doctors told him he would never live beyond the age of 16. He lay on his death bed, having heart attacks, he then had an experience of a heavenly vision where the Lord said, “his work on the earth was not done.” He still suffered with the symptoms, but he began to read the Bible. He read through the place where Jesus told the woman with the issue of blood, “go in peace, your faith has made you whole.”

Then the Lord spoke to him and said did you notice that I said to the woman your faith has made you whole? He replied by saying, “no I didn’t notice that.” Then the Lord spoke to him and said,” If her faith could make her whole, your faith can make you whole.” He was excited and from that time he began to learn from the Spirit of God, how his faith could make him whole and he walk off of the death bed, and taught on faith and healing until he went home to be with the Lord in his 80’s. That minister’s name is Kenneth E. Hagin. 

Lets look at Mark 5:24-34. And Jesus went with him; ( the ruler of the synagogue), and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 26. And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, 27. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes? 31. And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32. And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing. 33. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Jesus was on his way to a ruler of the synagogue’s house, to lay his hands on his daughter so that she would get well; when this little woman came in the press and touched his garment. The scripture said when she had heard about Jesus… what was it that she heard? She evidently heard of all the wonderful healings and miracles he performed. Bound and determined as she was, she said, if I may touch his garment, ( hears the part you need to get a hold of) she said, “I shall be made whole.” Her words and her actions determine what she experienced. If she would have said, I’ve tried and I’ve tried, but I only get worse, she would have remained as she was, but she believed that if God was visiting his people, then he would visit her too. God included her in his wonderful plan as Jesus went about doing good and healing. For Jesus said, 18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, Luke 4:18. Jesus Christ the is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8. He is still healing and making whole all those who demonstrate faith in what he has said. This can be you today. Begin to worship God as your healer, and as this woman’s faith made her whole, your faith will make you whole. I am so thankful to God, for the revelation of faith and healing that God gave to Kenneth Hagin. Countless men and women have been healed and raised from death beds through his ministry as his teaching of God’s word has spanned the globe. His books and cd’s are still available online or at the church where his son minister’s. Rhema Bible Church in Oklahoma. I owe a debt of gratitude to these wonderful men of God.
