Topic : Understanding Faith.. Part 2
Hebrews 11:1-6
You have to appreciate the anointed that God has blessed you with for you to be able to receive.
Faith is the essence of your hope. You hope are the pictures of your future.
Without faith there are certain things you can not receive from God. Faith is a law so it has to be followed orderly.
When there is a law an outcome can be predicted. That's why we can declare that we have our cars, we have our money, we have our houses and so on.
Romans 1:17
As a righteous man, I don't leave by chance, not by trial I leave by faith. I can prisict the outcome of any situation psalm 37:37. We are not to try to see of something will work for us. We should be able to know that all things will definitely work for us.
Hebrews 10:3 - Hebrews 11-1
Without faith there are certain things about grace that you can not handle. Things not seen are the eternal things of God. Faith means that you totally and completely rely on God. If you truly believe it is known from your actions. Faith grows by hearing the word of God and acting on it. Your faith can not grow when you don't exercise it.
John 3;14
In faith, there has to be something to look upon to motivate one's believe.
John 20:24-29
To believe does not have to do with physical believe only but also the believe on the inside. The focus of your faith as a believer should be on what Jesus did for you on the cross. To live without faith is simply being rude to God.
2Corinthians 4:13
We have the kind of faith possessed by all those who have been before us. We speak because of our faith and we have faith because we believe in the dead, burial and resurrection of Jesus. When you declare that you have that job, see Jesus being dead and resurrecting for your sake. Believe that if God could do that, he'll also provide that job.
Your first responsibility is to believe in all that Christ have done you, then speak it it
Jude 20... Your growth depends on how much you release your faith in prayer.
The growth of your faith is in the tendency of your prayer.
To believe and speak what you believe is to bring your hope into existence.
Genesis 1:2-3
No matter how much the spirit of God moves, if you don't speak, nothing will change.
Your mouth should always work in line with your mind every 24/7.
If you did nor receive an answer to your prayer, it means your prayer is not yet complete. The completion of your prayer is in it's answer.
Building yourself on your most holy faith is a way of putting yourself on the throne. So from the throne where you are seated, you can start commanding things.
