Faith Can!

I have been teaching on the topic of faith for a few weeks.  There is a strong need for the body of Christ to have faith, represent faith, and release faith.  Without faith, it is impossible to please God.  The just shall live by faith.  We are called into faith!

I decided to open my teaching folder and found that I had many teachings on faith. Over the years, it has been a primary topic. It must be because God demands it. Faith moves mountains, and many of us need a mountain to be moved.

David wrote The Lord is my rock…in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.  – Psalms 18:2

Many put their trust in the things or people of this world, but Jesus said not to put our trust in things that rot or rust. Worldly things are temporal, but faith in God is eternal. And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. - 1Co 13:13

The Apostle Paul expressed the value of faith in Hebrews chapter eleven. It has 40 verses dedicated to faith and those who pleased God by living by faith.  It tells us that by faith,

We understand – vs 3 We offer to God – vs. 4 We will not see death – vs 5 We are rewarded -- vs. 6 We move & prepare – vs 7 We obey – vs 8 We dwell in God’s promise– vs 9 We wait – vs 10 We receive strength – vs. 11 We pass the test – vs 17 We conclude, we believe – vs 19 We bless – vs. 20, 21 We prophesy – vs 22 We are not afraid – vs 23 We don’t compromise – vs 24 We suffer – vs 25

We don’t sin – vs 25 We endure the wait for Christ’s return – vs. 27 We keep the Passover – vs 28 We activate signs & wonders – vs 30 We won’t perish – vs 31 We subdue kingdoms – vs. 33 Work righteousness We obtain promises We stop the mouths of lions We quench the violence of fire – vs. 34 We escape the sword of death We are made strong We are valiant in battle We turn to flight the armies of aliens We receive our dead to life again –vs 35 We hold firm through tribulation -- vs. 36-38 We obtain a good testimony – vs 39

We can accomplish a lot by faith.  What are you doing with your faith?

Let’s pray,

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of faith that I can have through Your Spirit.  I need more than a measure of faith to believe; I need the faith to succeed in everything You have written in my books.  Help me, Lord, to take every day as a faith-filled journey with Jesus.  In Jesus name, Amen
