I want to speak to you today on the subject of faith or believing, for the simple reason that there is so much you can achieve in life if only you can believe right and release your faith to work.
[Hebrews 11:32-34 KJV] “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”.
Motivation
Many are handicapped and operating below their capacity and potential because they are operating from the carnal or fleshy realm. This is the time, and God is calling us to walk in the faith and supernatural realm.
Discussion
Faith is the persuasion that a person has in someone or something based on what they have been told or have heard. Faith is merely a persuasion. That is why both faith and doubt can coexist. It is possible to have faith in someone or something and still have your own reservations.
In any case, when we learn to be fully persuaded or to fully trust in the faithfulness, ability, and willingness of God to help us, we will begin to beat all odds and be able to;
- Subdue kingdoms,
- Work righteousness,
- Obtain promises,
- Stop the mouths of lions,
- Quench the violence of fire,
- Escape the edge of the sword,
- Out of weakness be made strong,
- Wax valiant in fight,
- Turn to flight the armies of the aliens.
These are some of the few things that faith can do. There is so much faith can do when we release it to work. This is the time to be schooled on how to engage your faith for maximum results. This is the time and season.
Every man anywhere can step into and walk in the faith realm when they learn to;
- Feed their spirit with the word of God;
- Endure under the pressure and crushing effects of trials;
- Speak what they believe without wavering; and
- Seek the wisdom of God to act.
This is because;
1. Faith comes by hearing:
Roman 10:17 teaches that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. You must feed your spirit with words that edify, comfort and exhort you based on scripture. That is how you create the platform for the unfolding of the supernatural and anointing. (See Galatians 3:5)
2. Faith grows through “crushing”:
Many of us get discouraged when the crushing begin, because quite often, what we are used to in brethren who are having a good time. The truth, however, stands that your faith which is more precious than gold will be tried with fire in order to be found pure. The Bible says your faith which is more precious than gold shall be tried by fire. This “crushing” process is how to get your faith to stand.
3. Faith is kept alive by speaking:
Those who have the spirit of faith speak their faith. You must speak what you believe, better still, you must be so persuaded of what you believe until it flows naturally from you. “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth will speak”; when your heart is full of faith, your mouth will speak faith; when your heart is full of hatred, your mouth will speak hatred, (See 2 Corinthians 4:13).
4. Faith works by love but is guided by wisdom:
It is one thing to believe, and an entirely different ball game altogether to know how to get there. Faith reveals the end to you, but by wisdom, you discover the step that will take you there. Wisdom, the scriptures say, is profitable to direct. When you gain wisdom, you will know what you must do, why you must do it, how to do it, and when to do it.
I want you to understand that faith can do so much when you release it to work. You will not miss the way! The Lord will guide and keep you from falling. Stay blessed! I love you!
