The Word of Faith
Faith is a dynamic word that expels all doubt and fear. The containment for faith is not within the mind of man but in the promise of God. He alone births faith in the heart s of men and places the bridge of “I can” between the impossible and the possible. The confession of the heart is the cement that hold the bridge together. If the words from your mouth are negative and doubtful then the bridge gets weaker and weaker. Building up faith (Jude 1:2) in the heart and also in others is far better than speaking “I cannot” language that will lead to failure. The Word declares that all thing are possible to those who believe… (Mark 9:23) What seems to be distant can become near to a heart that looks at the possibilities and believes in God…. (Matthew 19:26) The confession of “I believe Lord…” can lead to success and blessings, too fulness and truth! Faith is not a word that one should remove from their vocabulary or life but it is a word which will bring the miraculous to where you are. When Jesus came to the place of decision to feed the five thousand He could have sent them away to the nearest village but He did not! (Luke 9:10-15) He knew that nothing was impossible with for the Lord and what could not be done by men could be accomplished by God! He fed them from a boys small lunch, yes, all five thousand men were fed and there was left overs. Faith in God always produces leftovers.
Living a life that is full of faith will also bring a supernatural flow of God’s power into your life. Faith coupled with prayer is the “key” to moving forward into the promise of God. There are rough spots and moments when all you can do is pray but there are also times of active faith being lived out loud in your life. When everyone else may say “Impossible” you can say “It is possible” for faith in God brings the results to the faithful. God puts a promise in your heart so you can rest assured that He will bring it to pass in your life through faithful living. (Philippians 1:6) According to your faith let it be unto you… (Matthew 9:28-30) If your measure of faith (Romans 12:3) is small and not nurtured then the results will be small but if your exercise your faith God will increase the measure. Going around confessing defeat will birth a negative attitude and you will reap a harvest of defeat.
Speak the Word of God out loud and take hold of the promises that belong to you through His word. Putting on faith each day as a garment and praying in faith will produce a positive attitude and a harvest of victory. Looking at your circumstances and not looking to God will cause you to want to return to a past illusion a situational comfort or victory. (Exodus 14:10) What would have happened if Abraham, Moses, Noah, Jacob, Ruth, David, Esther, Nehemiah, or those mentioned in Hebrews 11 would have just looked at their circumstances instead of trusting God? The answer is obvious they would not have witnessed the miraculous provisions, healing and deliverance that only those who believe can experience. The life that God has presented to those who believe is a “faith” life. God dwells in the middle of faith and produces from the soul of prayer.
