Without Faith is impossible to please God ! If you want to please God , you have to have faith!
Hebrews 11:6
When you have faith , you believe in God’s Word ! You can not doubt from God’s Word !
I can fail , you can fail , but God never does !
Titus 1:2 “God cannot lie”
When I don’t believe in His Word it’s an insult to His integrity!
That’s why Faith is attractive to God , Faith attracts God’s attention
How do we receive all God’s blessings ? By faith !
Salvation, healing and God’s blessings you receive by faith not by works , not by deeds , not because you have earned or deserve it !
It’s by the grace of God , it’s a gift , you don’t pay for and It’s free !
How to use our faith?
The way we exercise faith is simple!
Believe and speak , Believe and speak !
With my heart I believe and with my mouth I speak !
“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,”
II Corinthians 4:13
The spirit of faith is : I believe, I speak – I believe, I Speak !
Some examples:
1- David and Goliath
How did David defeat Goliath? First He spoke to Goliath !
“This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you.”
I Samuel 17:46
David had faith. David believed , but David spoke long before he released that stone.
2- When the children of Israel went around the walls of Jericho. Before the walls fell , Joshua said: “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!” Joshua 6:16
They were to shout before the walls fall !
3- When the people of Israel were close to the land , they sent 12 spies to spy on the Promised Land that God had given them.
The ten spies said :
We can not take the land , the giants are too big , The walls are too thick and we are too small !
Joshua and Caleb said:
“Do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread, their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”” Numbers 14:9
God did say to them:
“Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have SPOKEN in My hearing, so I will do to you:”
Numbers 14:28
Just as you spoke I will do to you !
The Promised Land were for all children of Israel but only the two of them who believed and spoke entered into the promise land !
The same is true today !
If you start looking to the size of your problem , if you keep saying: it’s difficult, it’s hard , it’s incurable, it’s impossible, then nothing are going to happen and you are not going to please God.
“But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.”
Numbers 14:24
What kind of spirit do you have ?
“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,”
II Corinthians 4:13
If you believe, you have to speak up, amen?
I you believe something, say it !
Just saying “I believe”, it’s not enough if you never speak !
If you believe that this day going to be a good day , say :
“This is the day the Lord has made , I will rejoice and be glad in it”
Speak out , amen ?
4- In Genesis 1:2
God saw Darkness ! But He didn’t say : it’s really dark ! I’m afraid and it will get even darker !
No , no , God saw darkness and said : Let there be Light , and the Light there was !
Don’t talk about the situation , say what you want !
Don’t talk about what you see , say what you desire !
In your darkness God wants you to call forth the light !
If you believe you must say something !
If I believe I have to speak!
Kenneth Hagin was a man of God , the Father of Faith, many years ago , he was lying down in bed, he had leukaemia and deformed heart , and he was raised from his death bed and Jesus spoke to him through Mark 11:23
This verse of the bible brought light to his life and he used this verse to be healed
“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.”
Mark 11:23
WHOEVER HE SAY , HE WILL HAVE WHATEVER HE SAYS !
Jesus was teaching his disciples about the power of the Words !
What you believe you have to say it !
Jesus told to Kenneth Hagin that this verse mention SAYS 3 times and and believe just 1 time!
Jesus said to him , you have to preach 3 times more about SAYING than about believing.
Because the people believe but don’t receive because they don’t say anything
Did you know , people that are liars , if they lie for many years , then if they go back to the story they actually believe it !
When you believe and say it , God look at you and say : that’s my boy ! That’s my daughter !
Faith attracts God , without faith is impossible to please God ! Amen !
Many people believe, but are you saying it ?
Same people say , In my heart I believe ! Is not enough, you have to say too !
You have the say what the Bible said about you :
You have to say :
I am what the Bible says I am
I have what the Bible says I have
I can do what the Bible says I can do
I’m son of God , I’m heir of God , I’m a joint heir with Jesus Christ ,
I’m a new creation, old things are passed away , all things has become new , Christ has set me from the curse of the law !
I’m healed because of Jesus’ stripes, I have a health body
I’m blessed. I’m free because Jesus set me free !
You do not deserve it , it’s a gift of God and nothing to be proud of, because it’s a gift .
When you work you can to be proud of the the fruits of your labour, but when you believe , it’s a gift !
Learn to speak up your faith , faith doesn’t work if you don’t speak up.
In Mathew 4 Jesus had a horrible experience. He was fasting, and was led into the wilderness. He spent 40 days without eating, he was hungry, He was week , fragile and suddenly the devil come.
“The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “IT IS WRITTEN : ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ””
Matthew 4:3-4
3 times Satan tempted Jesus. Jesus overcame Satan with the Word of God ! Jesus said what was written !
Jesus answered: Is it written ! He knew what was written. You must know what is written in the bible about you.
You have to confess what is written !
There are a lot of promise in the bible ,but will eventually come into manifestation if you hold fast to your confession of Faith !
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”
Hebrews 10:23
Hold fast to your confession of faith . That means if you don’t hold fast to it, you can lose it .
Do you remember Lazarus resurrection? Jesus received the news that his friend Lazarus had died . What Did He say to his disciples ? Do you remember?
“Then Jesus said, “Our friend Lazarus is sleeping, but I am going there to wake him.””
John 11:11
Lazarus was dead , but what Jesus did say ? He’s sleeping!!
Stop saying what you are seeing! Jesus always said what He wanted to see .
Jesus didn’t look to that circumstance as something impossible !
Jesus never talked about what he saw, He always talked about what he wanted to see !
Remember : You will have whatever you say !
The Miracle didn’t happen with Jesus because he was looking at Lazarus tomb !
It didn’t happen when Jesus was crying either . Jesus wept but nothing happened when he cried .
He was resurrection and the life itself but He had to release the miracle .
How Did it HAPPEN ?
“Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out,
John 11:43
We have to learn to speak up . If you believe you say it !
Let’s see another example: The woman who had blood issue for twelve years.
26 “and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.”
27 “When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 FOR SHE SAID, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.””
Mark 5:26-28
She spoke before she touched Him !
Jesus said : Your faith made you well !
God doesn’t speak what He sees but he speaks what He wants to see !
You can not forget WHO YOU ARE according to the scripture !
You need to go to the mirror of His Word !
Don’t forget who you are !
You read that you are healed by Jesus strips , then you receive a bad doctor report
You read that God is going to supply all your need , then you look at your bank account and see that you have no job.
“But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach)
Romans 10:8
Just speak out , when fear comes , just say for God has not given me spirit of fear , but of power , of love and of a sound mind !
When the world tell you cannot do it , say : I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me !
You have to say it in spite of what you fell ! Say it , it’s first in your mouth, “the Word is near you ,in your mouth first – then in your heart” !
Speak out what you believe!
Even when you don’t believe in your heart , keep on saying it , because as long you put the words in your mouth, they will go into your heart and then next time you say it they will be stronger and more powerful.
35 “So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
38 “But my righteous one will live by faith.”
Hebrews 10:35-36, 38
Don’t lose your confidence in God’s Word , Don’t lose your faith !
This is the challenge , you need to persevere!
It’s easy to have faith for one week , one month, but it’s not easy to have it for one year , 3 years , 5 years !
Abraham received a promise for a son and waited for 25 years !
18 “who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.” 19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.”
Romans 4:18-21
