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.

 

“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.

The Biggest most Single issue that stops faith from working.

Refuse to allow the least bit of animosity or ill will to be resident on the inside.
When you have made that decision, healing will come. Provision so desprestly needed will show up. Family members will be affected by your prayers. But where your concern, your faith shall rise moutain high. God’s waiting on you.

Psalm 103:1-5 King James Version (KJV)

103 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

 

 

Faith has to have corresponding action. Begin approriating God’s word by putting your best foot forward, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Once your heart has been saturated in the present truths, then a wonderful picture is developed in you by the Spirit of God. Now Listen closely, strategies for execution are there. Follow step by step so as to not leave any part out, then see the wonderful picture on the inside display right before your eyes.

“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:17

 

 

We don’t fight one another
We don’t fight our sister or brother
We don’t even fight the devil
For he was defeated on a different level
What we are called upon to in this day,
Is to Fight the good Fight of Faith so God’s blessings will display.
Without putting up a fight, you remain as you are.

1 Timothy 2:6

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses

It’s In Your mouth (That means your speaking it)

It’s In your heart  (That’s where your treasuring it)

What am I talking about ?

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

You have to so fill yourself to capacity, then till you overflow with The Word Of God, then you shall get somewhere.

Confessing and Believing

 

To move from little to great faith, one must be willing to move into the race.
The Lord is calling you to launch out into the deep. Beyond the senses, beyond the circumstances, beyond what looks like awkward timing, beyond the looks and the stares, for in moving into the race, fascinating results will be there.

Luke 5:1-7

1 One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret,a the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”
5 Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”
6When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

 

Being Bold in a natural sense has its advantages. When others fail to complete a task, the person or persons possessing this quality can push through till the job is accomplished. However when there are hostile forces arrayed against a certain endeavor, even the boldest of men can fall short of executing a task.

But when faithful men and women unite in prayer calling on the a Lord, his Grace will role in on the scene and supercharge the saints with a Boldness that will not be denied.  It takes faith to access this kind of Grace.

Acts 4:29-31

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.

31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

When we look closely at what the Lord said to these two blind men, that opens up the possibility for you to receive. God didn’t lead him directly to these two men, they sought after him. All things are possible to them that believe.

 

Jesus Heals Two Blind Men

27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.

 

 

Any good chef knows that when the recipe calls for mixing the ingredients,
He or she either manually or with a mixing device, mixes to the specifications of what the dish calls for. Because without following proper directions, the entree will be devoid of the flavor necessary to the consumers palate. This would constitute a loss in business and an eventual closing of the chefs business.

Very easily understood in this sense, yet if we don’t mix faith with what we have heard, we will be devoid of the ability to please God, and thus, he won’t be able to Bring us into that place of blessing he desires. Mix mix faith with the word of God.

Hebrews 4:2
2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

Hebrews 11:6
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.
