ABSOLUTE NECESSARY OF FAITH.

WHAT IS FAITH? By now the whole Church should know what is faith. Definition of Faith. Hebrews 11:1 New King James Version (NKJV) By Faith We Understand 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. How did Jesus walk? 1 John 2:6 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. Was Jesus walk victorious some of the time or most of the time? Or All the time? THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF FAITH Is that possible here on this earth? We are told to have faith and believe so that all our problems will be solved. Believe and you will have all things. The fig tree died. Peter came running “Rabbi” the fig tree which you cursed has withered away. How did Jesus replied have faith in God. The question is how many have faith to believe things will happen we start confessing and saying. Christians ought to believe that what man cannot, God can. SAYING AND BELIEVING. Mark 11:23-24 New King James Version (NKJV) 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING TODAY? WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT THE SITUATION YOU WILL FEEL DISCOURAGED. TRUE. But look beyond and believe that He does all things for us in a special way. Testimony of a Barber. This Barber who believes in Jesus was desperate of money. He owed his friend. He told me this problem. I told him that this is a big sum you tell Jesus and tell Him that you are His son. He did exactly that and believed that Jesus is His supplier. He was able to pay back the person whom he owed and also blessed our church. SOME SADDEST WORDS IN THE BIBLE. Matthew 13:58 New International Version (NIV) 58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. Mark 6:5-6 New International Version (NIV) 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 He was amazed at their lack of faith. TWO PERSON HEARD THE WORD OF GOD. 1 ST PERSON SUFFERING FOR 3RD STAGE CANCER. He heard the word of God. The word says I am your healer. He started confessing and believing. He used God’s word. Hebrew 4:12 Hebrews 4:12 (New King James Version) New King James Version (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. He got healed. And still living a healthy life. The other person heard also God’s word. 2nd stage bone cancer. He started saying the wrong things. God is punishing me. God hates me. I am going to die. Quoted the Bible verse. He died having believed that God has punished him. He even quoted the word from the Bible to justify what he is saying. Lev 26: 14-45 6 then I will do this to you: I will visit you with panic, with wasting disease and fever that consume the eyes and make the heart ache. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. He died. Today many Christian fall in this category. Because they mix the covenant of law and the covenant of grace. God will not visit your sins to 3rd or 4th generation. He already did a good job through His son. He already visited our sins and put it on Jesus. Today we have Faith and by faith through grace we are saved. Hebrews 8:13 New International Version (NIV) 13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. Unbelief is a danger. Unbelief is a greater danger than lying or adultery, for these latter are easily recognized as sins, whereas unbelief is not. An evil heart of unbelief can cause us to fall away from God. Unbelief is the root cause of all the other sins. Hebrews 3:12-13 New International Version (NIV) 12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. GOD CAN SET YOU FREE FROM THIS DREADFULL SIN. GOD WANTS TO SET YOU FREE FROM THIS SIN. BUT HOW PASTOR CAN I BE SET FREE? Romans 10:10 (New King James Version) 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. KEEP CONFESSING AND BELIEVING. DO NOT LOOK AT THE SITUATION RATHER LOOK AND BELIEVE IN THE FINISHED WORK OF JESUS. KEEP USING HIS WORD BACK TO HIM. SIN IS NO MORE YOUR MASTER. Romans 6:14 New King James Version (NKJV) 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. The Holy Spirit tells us that if we come under grace than sin shall have no dominion over us. Thanks be to Our Lord Jesus. He has given us grace so that He was able to keep the law. We are all blessed everyday by just confessing and believing. Have faith and you will see the blessings flow each day. CLOSE: KEEP CONFESSING EACH TIME YOU FALL UNTIL VICTORY BECOMES A REALITY IN YOUR LIFE. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED IF IT DOES NOT COME OVERNIGHT. GOD WILL SURELY HONOR THE CONFESSION OF YOUR MOUTH. God is not a man that He should lie nor a son of man that he should repent. Will He say and make it not good.
