FAITH THAT WORKS

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

Hebrews 11:1-2

Faith is an important subject. Faith is a serious matter. The Bible declares that without faith it is impossible to please God. So, faith pleases God. Faith gets God on the scene.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6

What is faith?

1.       Faith is a law. As much as there are natural laws. Faith is a spiritual law. Just like natural laws, faith works all the time as long as the right conditions are met. Meaning genuine faith works all the time like clockwork and produces results.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.

Romans 3:27

2.       Faith is believing and speaking. Faith is not just mere believing. You have to express your faith by speaking what you believe.

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak.

2 Corinthians 4:13

3.       Faith is believing and acting. It is not enough that you just believe. You have to act out your faith, because faith without works is dead.

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

James 2:26

 

There is much to be said about faith. There is faith that creates, faith that moves mountains, faith that slays giants and faith for the miraculous. Glory to God! When you have faith, you can change things and you can get God on the scene.

Thought of the day: Faith changes things and faith gets God on the scene.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for giving me faith. Thank You that my faith grows and becomes strong when I study Your Word, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

THE POWER OF THE WORD

“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD “And like the hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?” Jeremiah 23:29 The word of God will purify you and break your stony heart. The word of God will make you holy and soften your heart. If you will give yourself to the word it will change you. Jesus said, “Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth.” Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth. John 17:17 The word is powerful nothing compares to the word. It will transform you and reshape your destiny. The word will make your life beautiful. If you will stick to the word it will make you an absolute success. So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Acts 20:32 The Bible says that you are born of the word and that makes you an absolute victor in life. You can never be defeated, you can never be disadvantaged in life; you can live your life in perpet...

YOU LIVE IN THE ARK

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted the ark, and it rose high above the earth. Genesis 7:17 When the Lord destroyed the earth with the flood, there was a flood for forty days and forty nights, Noah and his family where in the ark, as the water rose, the ark rose above the waters. As a child of God, figuratively, you live in the ark. The world around you may be going through trouble but you are safe in the ark. You are in the world but you are not of the world. When the world is going through trouble you just go upward and forward. You are resting in God’s grace and love. You have peace on the inside, you are untouched by trouble. There could be pestilence and famine going on around you but it will not come to you. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Psalm 91:7 Live in the secret place of the Most High, “in the ark,” in His presence and His glory. There no weapon for...

YOU ARE THE LIGHT IN YOUR WORLD

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14 People in the world are in darkness; they walk in ignorance to God’s Word. As a believer you can enlighten other people’s darkness; you can make them see. You are the light of the world. You are a leader with solutions. You can win souls and lead many to righteousness. You can liberate and empower others. You can lead by example and make a difference. You can distinguish yourself as the light of the world by bearing good fruit and producing good works. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 People everywhere are looking for leaders who will lead them. They are looking for the light, someone who will lead and solve problems. You can be that difference maker and change other people’s lives. When people see you, what do they see; what do they think? Are you the solution or the problem? You can be a burning ...
