Subject: Release and Faith Question |
Bible Note: Hello John, "Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen." "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." Faith produces the manifestation of God's will in the earth when God's people ACT UPON the Word of God. Faith without works is dead. Faith must be released by action. Faith without corresponding actions is dead, not faith at all. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Why does every promise of God have to be received by faith including our salvation, our righteousness, our justification, the Holy Spirit infilling, the gifts, and all the promises....ALL cannot be received except through the avenue of faith. "Biblical faith is trusting in God to the exclusion of things seen; "for we walk by faith, not by sight." Faith in the Word of God produces the promises of God. It is not walking through life with blinders on hoping God will do something. Scripture teaches us that faith must be applied to the Word. Faith without the Word is hope and hope does not produce. Faithful actions can be called seed... Example Matthew 8:9-11 8 But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 "For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it." 9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. Faith spoke and said...All you must do is speak the Word and the work will be done because you have the authority over sickness and desease. What did faith produce? the healed servant.. Who was Jesus? The Word of God made flesh. God's Word and will manifested through Jesus. So faith in God's Word is faith in Jesus and God. And God is faithful to His Word. This in not new age mysticism. New age mysticism says, " I am god and what I think I can produce." New age mysticism is the Satanic counterfeit of God's truth and excludes the existence of God and Jesus. God bless God bless |
