Living Faith

The devil doesn't have the authority and power he used to have since Jesus stripped him of it. There is a power he maintains though and that is the power of deception. Which is nothing to be afraid of, but we need to be prepared to resist. We resist deception by knowing and loving the Truth. Hallelujah! Jesus IS the Truth . .

One reason God doesn't want His children to worry is because it damages our physical bodies. Whether it be ulcers or headaches or high blood pressure or loss of sleep - God knows stress and anxiety are killers. The medical world is only just catching up to what the Bible has been saying for millenia. God has promised that we can be free from worry and can sleep peacefully if we trust Him. Because we really are His beloved . .

Jesus was sent by the Father to a lost and dying world to give us, in one word - Hope. Outside of Christ Jesus there is no hope - not for this life or the next. I didn't say that, the Bible does. This life was never meant to be lived apart from Jesus because only in union with Him do all things hold together. (Which is why so much of the world is falling apart all around us.) The bigger your revelation of Jesus, the greater your hope in God will be. The smaller your revelation of Jesus, the smaller your expectation of good from God will be . .

Having the hope of the promises of God inside you is a lot like being with child. Strength is needed – both to carry that child for 9 months, and then to bring that which is inside you... out. You need Strength to see it through – to the end. Until everything God has promised comes to pass. And until everything I see lines up with what God has said, I'm not going to let myself get disappointed or offended by what I do or do not see. I will live by faith and not by sight. I will be strong in The Lord and in the power of His might. I will rejoice in Hope all the way to the end. Hallelujah!

Part of the salvation and prosperity of every soul is to want what God wants - for yourself, your neighbor and in all things. Our fallen nature twists most everything, including our desires - to be all about self. God didn't give us desires to make us more selfish, but to make life more fulfilling. For the fulfillment of desire is pleasurable.

Every Christian knows they've been forgiven and cleansed from sin by their faith in Christ. But oftentimes they still live in the sin and condemnation they say they've been forgiven and cleansed from. They are more aware of sin than the Son, that is Jesus. That's why the Bible tells us to Awake To Righteousness. Don't be asleep to your right standing and rights to fellowship with the Father in Christ . .

Jesus is the Head of His Body and the Body is the Body of Christ. Christ is not Jesus' last name, it is the Greek word for the Hebrew word for the Anointed One and/or His Anointing. With the anointing comes a level of authority and power relative to the body part you are. The Body of Christ is an Anointed Body. It does not have power or authority on it's own, it gets them from the Head, Jesus Christ. A head cannot do anything without a body, nor can a body do anything without a head . .

One of the constant temptations of this life for the believer in Christ is to go back to living like before you got saved. To return to the life of sin where you could do whatever you want with no accountability, no restraint. Resisting that temptation can be an every day test. What will keep us from going back? Loving God more than we love anything else. Specifically loving God more than we love what we want. We can do it, with a little faith and the grace of God . .

Everybody knows to pray, that praying is good, and yet even when we go to prayer we don’t always know how to pray as we should. Meaning we know some things in our mind that need praying about or people who need praying for, including ourselves. But we know there is so much more going on than we could even think to pray out and pray out rightly. This is where praying in other tongues comes in . .

If you are a child of God, do you actually have a valid reason to Worry? Think about that. Worry is a form of fear, fear comes out of unbelief - and unbelief never gives God more access into your life. It actually cuts Him off from doing anything for you at all, and opens the door to the enemy instead. How many people would worry if they knew they were hindering God from helping them and allowing the enemy to hurt them . .

Faith will draw the Blessing of God to you. Fear like faith calls things to you, but not the Good. Fear draws evil, bad things to you; the very things you are afraid of. Worry is a form of fear. If you're going to worry you are going to help the bad thing you're afraid of come to pass in your life. That's why God doesn't want us to worry has told us NOT to fear . .

When we observe the whole of Scripture we find the subject of Love covered in 3 general ways : God's love for us, our love for God, and our love for each other. The chief expression of Love is Giving and when God decided to save mankind, He didn't send and angel or purchase us with gold or precious gems. He bought us with that which was most valuable to Him — His one and only Son. And if He loved us like THAT . . we can be assured He loves us now no matter what!

Nowadays, it doesn't take super spiritual discernment to recognize that all is not well with the world. We however have been transferred into an eternal Kingdom that can never be shaken. If we will build our lives on the immovable foundation of God's Word, although economies collapse, governments fail, plagues threaten - God Himself will uphold us through it all so that we remain . .

The Scripture tells us that God does not want His people ignorant and without teaching concerning Spiritual Gifts. Sadly, most Christians are just that. Many are even misinformed with wrong teachings. In this series we are looking at Foundational Truths concerning the Gifts of the Spirit. Which really end up being Keys to Increased Manifestation of the Spirit of God. The first key is Biblical Instruction.

1 Corinthians 15 and 1 Thessalonians 4 tells us the event of the Rapture occurs just moments after the Resurrection of the dead in Christ. With both the Resurrected and the Raptured being raised up to meet Jesus in the sky, a Transformation occurs. This mortal body shall put on immortality, perishable shall put on the imperishable, corruption shall put on incorruption. Hallelujah! The difference between those getting Raptured and those being Resurrected is those getting raptured skip the dying part and go straight to glorification!

For years I didn't know what to do with desires. Like with many people, I had messed up my life in different ways by following wrong desires. Because if you want something strong enough, you'll do whatever is in your power to get it. Desire is a motivating force. Especially as Christians, we need not fear that motivational element – we need to Harness it! For good. In the will of God. Part of mastering our desires is conforming them to God's will and allowing His desires in us to fuel our activity . .

Did you know God has increase for the Righteous? Oh yes! It's not the wicked God wants to grow in influence and prosperity. It is His people He empowers to increase. And who are the righteous? God said, "My righteous one shall live by faith." God increases those who live by faith. Do you live by faith? Then you can trust in God that your increase will come from Him the right way at the right time – and you won't have to sin to get it . .

The Lord gave us this powerful message about God's finished work. Which is what our faith is striving to enter. God finished His Work – He expects us to finish ours. Our Labor of Faith. God Rested from His work on the 7th Day of Creation. Our work of faith results in the Rest of Faith, which is the entering of our Rest – the place where all God's promises are fulfilled . .

Self control and discipline are two aspects of our faith race which are not popular at all but absolutely essential. If we do not control ourselves from doing wrong and fail to discipline ourselves from doing right - it is possible that we become a "castaway".I didn't say that, the apostle Paul did. About himself. No matter all the good he had done and accomplished for the Kingdom, if he didn't manage his faculties it would have been all for nothing in his case. That's why he began by saying, I do all things for the sake of the Gospel so that I may become a partaker of it . .

The Ecclesia (Church) of The Lord Jesus was not directly revealed in the Old Testament. It isn't until after Jesus' Resurrection that the Holy Spirit began revealing the types and shadows of Christ and His Ecclesia from the Old Testament. Had the devil known God's plan, he NEVER would have crucified The Lord Jesus! Because the Cross was his undoing and when Christ was raised out of death into life - so were we. The anointing on God's holy people busts up all the devil's work . .

There is a conformity to God's perfect will in Heaven that believers are responsible for enforcing and influencing in the earth. Jesus told us that in using the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven we would be binding things that were already bound in Heaven and loosing things that were already loosed in Heaven. God will not do for us what He has delegated for us to do. That's why there is accountability, that's why there is Reward . .

Even though God has never lied and always proven faithful to keep His Word, men still don't want to trust Him before understanding everything. But did you know, we don't have to understand everything to trust God. We just have to Trust God. The Truth will set you free! Men look for understanding - God is looking for Faith . .

It was The Father's love for men who had sinned that required Christ die in our place, for the pay for sin is death. Nobody involved in crucifying Jesus will get any credit for doing so, because they did it for their own wrong purposes. Yes, it was the Jews who pierced Him – by the hand of the Romans. Scripture says this. The Romans were the gun, the Jews pulled the trigger. But when Jesus comes again (not dead at all) Israel will have repented of their unbelief, having called on Jesus as Messiah. God is so merciful He will then deliver the nation of Israel and destroy all their enemies . .

Jesus told us specific signs to look for before His return and they will occur exactly how and when He said. The final event, which is actually the final sign of His Second Coming, is the repentance of Israel and their reception of Jesus as Messiah - whom as a nation they have rejected for nearly 2000 years. At very moment when they are about to be completely wiped out by the armies of the Antichrist, they call on Him to save them and repent of their unbelief. And He does! On, the mercy of God! As Isaiah prophesied, He will wash and rinse away their sin of shedding His Blood . . What God is going to do with Israel in the End is what He has already made available for us now. Repent and believe the Good News about Jesus! Your sins will be washed away and you will become a new creation in Christ . .

There are some Bible subjects that most believers take for granted and others that they ignore entirely. Hope is just such a subject. People think they know all about it and don't need to be taught it, so they really don't know anything about it and aren't using it right - so hope is not working for them as it should. When hope doesn't work right the Bible says we become disappointed and ashamed because what we hope for doesn't happen. God doesn't want us ashamed, He wants to see what He promised fulfilled in our lives . .
