Faith

Have Faith In God

What is Faith? Why do we need it? How do you use it?

(Mark 11:22-24 KJV)

(22) And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. (23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (24) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive {them}, and ye shall have {them}.

• • What ever need you might have God wants you to put your faith in action for Him.

  • Faith is very powerful - It is the most powerful force in creative change.

  • Faith is very valuable - It is what God desires more then anything from you.

• Your faith is your most valuable asset, Purchased by hearing and invested by believing.

  • You do not own the Word of God...You use it. You own your faith and invest it in God's Word

• Faith is the essence of your inner creative power. (What do you believe you can do)

  • Everyone is given a measure of faith. Romans 12:3

  • You can do what any man can do. Its all in how you use your faith.

  • You can do big things with big faith and big things with little faith.

(Hebrews 11:1 KJV)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

• • Faith is the thing that you want to bring whatever you need from hopeless to happening now.

  • Faith is like money...You know if you have enough money...the item you need its your.

  • If you have enough faith, then you can get what ever you need out of heaven.

  • Faith won't cost you anything to receive it

  • But it will cost you everything if you don't have it

  • How do you get it...If you want more of it.

(Romans 10:17 KJV)

So then faith {cometh} by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

• • Hearing the preached Word of God builds faith on the inside of you.

  • Hearing the Word of God will cause you to believe God rather then believe what you see

  • For some of us...what we see is not alway good.

(2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV)

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

• • If you keep looking at your problems, your problems will soon be all you can see

  • But if you can close your eyes for a moment and pull out your faith

  • You can put a smile on the face of God. God gets happy every time you use your faith.

  • It is so sad to see a person with no faith. God has no pleasure in a person with no faith.

(Hebrews 11:6 KJV)

But without faith {it is} impossible to please {him}: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and {that} he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

• • If you want to please God then put your faith in Him in everything

  • If you diligently seek after faith in God and you will have your reward.

  • So what do you do when you have a problem?

  • Have faith in God!

  • Listen for faith...faith come by hearing...

  • Look for faith...

(Hebrews 12:2 KJV)

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of {our} faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

• • If you want to live in the world that is to come...everything begins and ends with faith in Jesus.

  • Our lives as humans started at the cross.This is beginning for us. We are nothing without the cross. Before the cross we where all dead. After the cross we had a place to put our faith.

(Romans 1:17 KJV)

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

• • Your life is guided by the faith you place in Gods Word

  • Your ability to do is based on your level of faith.

  • You can only do what you believe you can do.

  • Your choices are a reflection on your faith and knowledge of God's Word.

  • This is why many people parish...they lack faith and knowledge in God's Word.

  • Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: He wants your faith!

  • We were created for God's pleasure and God's pleasure is faith in Him.

  • Your time and your money follows your faith.

(Matthew 17:20 KJV)

And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

(1 Peter 1:7-9 KJV)

(7) That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: (8) Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see {him} not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy un-speakable and full of glory: (9) Receiving the end of your faith, {even} the salvation of your {souls}.

• • The Trial of Your Faith...what did you do with your faith? You reward will be based on your use of of your faith.

(1 John 5:4 KJV)

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, {even} our faith.

(20) And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind {him}, and touched the hem of his garment: (21) For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. (22) But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

(Matthew 9:28-29 KJV)

(28) And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. (29) Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

(Romans 12:3 KJV)

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think {of himself} more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
