It Is Time We All Return To Our Own True Faith!
1?Now faith is being sure of what we hope for?and certain of what we do not see.?Our Hopes and our Faith, these are two of the most powerful gifts from God above. One must have faith in order to be certain of anything, many use their faith in other things, people, places, works, etc. than God. These two Hope & Faith may be used in many different ways, however, one must remember that there are other power' who also are waiting and listening for just a chance to step into the place of our own acceptance's and by our words we in some cases understand and in other cases unknown to us, we are accepting, releasing, and even giving way and power to whomever or whatever we are speaking.?
Proverbs 18:20?
From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;?with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.
Proverbs 18:21?The tongue has the power of life and death,?and those who love it will eat its fruit.?
James 3:5-8 “How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! ?And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.?For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, ?but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. ?With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.”
It is by faith that we hope for things, it is by faith that we are certain in, we must allow through faith the allowance of the Holy Spirit to lead us in every thought before we allow ourselves to speak out. For our Faith in Christ is the reward of things, it is through Christ living inside us and through our continued acknowledgements and acceptance of Christ which brings forth the proper and just faith and through our continued guidance from the Holy Spirit we live and speak the things of God, in all our lifting up of our brother' and sister's in Christ. Without Faith we can not fully understand God and His Great rewards for His beloved today and in the days to come.?
2?This is what the ancients were commended for.?
3?By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command,?so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4?By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did.
By faith he was commended?as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings.?And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.?
5?By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away.?For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
6?And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him?must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.?
It is through Faith that we accept the Holy Spirit, Teacher who joins with us, the very same Spirit of God who was inside Jesus during His Human life on this earth.This very same spirit whom now sits at the Father's Right Side, and has been given power over all authorities everywhere, on earth and in the spiritual realms. This is the very same Spirit we too have living inside of each of us now. If therefore we believe by faith that Jesus is our Lord and Savior and that we are forgiven of our sins through His death on the cross. we too must believe in the power within each of God's children whom He has forgiven. By our speaking we too have the same powers of the Christ within each of us.?
John 14:12-13,?
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.?13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.?14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
Many times we read the Living Word of God, but we try to pick and chose what parts are acceptable and which just don't seem proper or doable. Lets not forget the John 1:1-5, states concerning the Word =?In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.?2He was with God in the beginning. ?Though?him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.?4In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.?5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome?it. This is all the Power of God the Father, through His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit left here on this earth to teach us and lead us. God's word is never wrong and its power is never weak it tell us of His grace and that through our faith we too have to same gifts of the Spirit of Christ living inside us, all we have to do is ack upon it and be strong enough to speak it with total faith from our Spiritual being. The Kingdom of God is within us!?
7?By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen,?in holy fear built an ark?to save his family.?By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.?
Noah, heard the voice of God, he through faith performed what God had advised him to do. We now have Jesus and the Holy Spirit, we too need to listen and hear the voice of God, but moreover we now have the power from within us, and what we speak through Christ will be performed as well. In these days we have through the mystery of the Word which was held by God Himself until the fulfillment of days to be given to His people, the Church to those who have ears to listen and those He has given the wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to perform in His will speaking out the changes, protection, and bring in of the Harvest in order that His Master Plan since the beginning of creation has been fulfilled. The Scripture states, Ephesians 1:4-10,?
For he chose us?in him before the creation of the world?to be holy and blameless?in his sight. In love?
5?he?predestined?us to be adopted as his sons?through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure?and will--?
6?to the praise of his glorious grace,?which he has freely given us in the One he loves.?
7?In him we have redemption?through his blood,?the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches?of God's grace?
8?that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.?
9?And he?made known to us the mystery?of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed?in Christ,?
10?to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment--to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ. It is through Faith that we follow His direction in the fulfillment of the last days, speaking out the changes, protection, and love in order to bring in the Harvest of all the works of the Father' own hand since the beginning of creation.
8?By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,?obeyed and went,?even though he did not know where he was going.?
9?By faith he made his home in the promised land?like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents,?as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.?
10?For he was looking forward to the city?with foundations,?whose architect and builder is God.
11?By faith Abraham, even though he was past age--and Sarah herself was barren--was enabled to become a father?because he?considered him faithful?who had made the promise.?
12?And so from this one man, and he as good as dead,?came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.?
13?All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised;?they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance.?And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.?
14?People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.?
15If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.?
16?Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one.?Therefore God is not ashamed?to be called their God,?for he has prepared a city?for them.?
17?By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice.?He who had received the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son,?
18?even though God had said to him, "It is through Isaac that your offspring?will be reckoned."?
19?Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead,?and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death.?
20?By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.?
21?By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons,?and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff.?
22?By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones.?
23?By faith Moses' parents hid him for three months after he was born,?because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.?
24?By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter.?
25?He chose to be mistreated?along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time.?
26?He regarded disgrace?for the sake of Christ?as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.?
27?By faith he left Egypt,?not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible.?
28?By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroyer?of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.?
29?By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.?
30?By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the people had marched around them for seven days.?
31?By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.?
32?And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon,Barak,?Samson,?Jephthah,?David,?Samuel?and the prophets,?
33?who through faith conquered kingdoms,?administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,?
34?quenched the fury of the flames,?and escaped the edge of the sword;?whose weakness was turned to strength;?and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies.?
35?Women received back their dead, raised to life again.?Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection.?
36?Some faced jeers and flogging,?while still others were chained and put in prison.?
37?They were stoned;?they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword.?They went about in sheepskins and goatskins,?destitute, persecuted and mistreated--?
38?the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves?and holes in the ground.?
39?These were all commended?for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised.?
40?God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.
Many have lived and so many with very strong faith, yet not until God's master plan is fulfilled will He allow the completion of their faith. In these last days we must stand together through this very same type of faith, believing what the Living Word of God Speaks and speaking into place the changes, protection, and bringing in God's harvest in order that all through faith in Jesus Christ and as we walk each day remember these who through their faith and actions in their God, will too be made perfect through Jesus Christ.?
