Understand The Power of Faith
Understand The Power of Faith
We Are Blessed and Prosperous Because We Have Been Enlightened, as in “Lit,” We’ve Received The Spirit and Received The Word.
Deuteronomy 15:10 (NLT): “Give generously to the poor, not grudgingly, for the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do—Not in Some-Things, but in Every-Thing!
I felt strongly in my spirit earlier this month that the Lord wanted me to take the rest of this month and Teach on Faith. There are people in churches all over the world that have walked with the Lord for years but still have “No Faith.” They have read the Bible, studied the scriptures, but information doesn’t equal revelation. Hebrews 11:1-3 (NKJV): “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.”
Faith Is “The Substance” That When It Is “Released Up” It Brings “The Evidence” Down.
Faith Comes By Hearing God’s Voice and The Hearing of God’s Word. Romans 10:17 (NKJV): “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Abraham Heard God’s Voice and Moved On God’s Command. God’s Voice Is Behind God’s Word, God’s Voice Is Behind God’s Anointed.
Genuine Faith Is The Only Way To Bring Genuine Evidence To Your Life. Nothing Notable Gets Done Outside The Realm of Faith. Faith Released In The Spirit Attracts Favor and Force.
There Are Different Measures of Faith, Romans 12:3 (NKJV): “For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.”
Weak Faith, Luke 22:31-32 (NIV): “’Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.’”
Little Faith, Matthew 6:30 (KJV): “Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?”
Growing Faith, 2 Thessalonians 1:3 (NASB1995): “We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater…”
Active Faith, Hebrews 10:38 (KJV): “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Just Live By It
Strong Faith, Romans 4:20 (NIV, Abraham): “Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God.”
Great Faith, Matthew 8:8-10 (NKJV, The Roman Centurion): “The centurion answered and said, ‘Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, “Go,” and he goes; and to another, “Come,” and he comes; and to my servant, “Do this,” and he does it.” When
Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!’”
Unwavering Faith, Hebrews 10:23 (NKJV): “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”
