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.

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…

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!

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 

26. 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

 

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. 

Mark 11:23-24

22. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. What time do you start to believe that you receive? It’s when you‘ve  prayed. This is for your own personal petitions. We know there are other principles envolved when praying for others, yet you will still have to believe that you receive the answers when you pray or there can be no manifestation. So after you’ve prayed. The next thing to do is thank God daily that he has heard and answered your prayer. If you start over and pray for the same thing that you asked for yesterday, that means you didn’t believe that you received it yesterday when you prayed. Let’s look at it another way. Your daughter asks you can she drive your car to the store. Okay she’s standing right in front of you. You nod your head yes. But about ten minutes later she asked you the same question again. You look at her and say, “ honey, is something wrong? I just said yes ten minutes ago. The only reason that could make her question her mom twice is that she just met her mom, because she didn’t grow up with her, and she wanted to make Doubledy sure that it was actually okay. And this is how it sounds when we asked God over and over again for something he already said yes to. The tragedy in this behavior stems from a lack of understanding that your faith has to kick in gear after you’ve asked. Now you have to walk like, talk like, act like, God said yes.  Then you will see your answer to your prayer.

Faith Cometh by hearing

What is it that you listen to. No, really, what are you listening to on a continual basis? There are many things that can be beneficial and we should avail ourselves to them no doubt. And there are many things that are of interest to us that are not wrong in and of themselves; but if the things we hear on a daily basis, leave us no room for the things of God, we will find ourselves inundated with the cares and frustrations of life. Our ability to reach up and receive divine help, in a time of crisis recedes, because we just haven’t put in the time it takes to hear and believe. But Good news! You can take the time, to turn a listening ear, to the word of God, and faith will appear. That’s right, by simply tuning into the frequency of heaven via the word, faith will approach your residents; and instead of being disturbed; your heart will rejoice as you change your direction, and what you’ve heard will be to you for protection. Romans 10:17
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

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.

 

 

I’m So glad you’ve determined, that if God said that we must have faith; then he must of necessity provide clear enough instructions so that we can operate there. That was also my way of thinking. Godly wisdom is not hidden from those who love him but for those who love him. 1 Cor. 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.. A farmer goes out to a plot of ground. First he surveys it. Your heart is compared to that plot of ground. You must survey what’s down in their. Now determining on what he finds there; he decides skillfully what he must do. If the ground is full of rocks and weeds, he must till the soil turning it over and extracting those things that would severely impair the good seeds that he wants to plant.. Okay, as your hearing these things, what I want you to do is find out your choking point. Someone shares something with you, and of course after careful research; you find that it’s true, but it seems so impossible that you could ever achieve the faith to believe that God can change things in your life personally. Someone else, but not you. When the sower sows the word, depending upon what’s down in the ground of your heart; it can take some time before that seed is able to get down in there properly. Because of all the other things that have been occupying that place. Once again, thats why when you here the promises of God Initially, it can sound like, boy that’s just impossible! And the pure seed of the word of God has to fight through all of that and overcome it before it’s position in the ground of your heart is safe for it. This is why it took sooo long for Abraham and Sarah to receive the promised son. Sarah’s heart just kept rejecting that seed. But thank’s Be To God; as I said in a previous article; Abraham’s heart caught hold of that seed. It muscled it’s way through. Romans 4:16-21
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 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 Sara’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.
The power of the word of God rooted out everything else that was sown previously into his heart. It then set down its own roots, and sprang up, and produced the son of the promise. Did you know when Mary received the words of the Angel what she said? “ Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:38. The seed of that word didn’t have to fight at all. It went down into the ground of her heart. And the word became flesh a dwelt among us. John 1:14a. We see another example of one having difficulty with receiving the word, but praise God, he was able to bring it to pass. Look at Luke 1:18, speaking of Zechariah. God had good tidings for him. His wife who was barren and in old age would conceive a son; and he would be the Forerunner of Christ. The Angel Gabriel was dispatched to him like he was to Mary.
18. Zechariah said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years. 19. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings. 20. And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season. Wow! This was very difficult, so God moved in a miraculous way that kept the words that the angel spoke burning in his heart. That so indelibly imprinted on his mind that he said, “Elizabeth, we’re gonna have a child.”Lol of course he did it with a writing tablet. Let’s see how we can avoid that type of consequence? Although having an experience such as this might make it a little easier to stick with the word.( Let me go on to say, that in the Old Testament, God was very dynamic in his presentation of the word. He had to be because of so much darkness that surrounded the hearts and minds of men.) After such a magnificent display of the power of God with Moses, we see God speaking to Joshua in a different manner. Joshua 1:8 is what we use when we are preparing the ground of our hearts. But let’s start with verse 2. Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua saw the tangible miracle signs and wonders. But he also saw that Moses received the law. God wanted him to get his word inside of him so that it would grow and produce his success. It did. This was Israel’s greatest time, for the word of God was in full bloom in there hearts. What about you to day? You have read this article. If you, like the farmer till the ground, protecting the seed of God’s word, till you faith abounds. Then right where you are, Faith will bloom and grow. And a harvest of great blessing you will only know. In his service Minister Alberta Richard
