HAVING FAITH IN GOD: IS HAVING FAITH IN HIS WORD!
To have FAITH in God, is to have FAITH in His WORD.
To have FAITH in His WORD is to first BELIEVE in His WORD.
To BELIEVE in His WORD is to HEAR His WORD and ACT — CONCEIVE accordingly to His WORD.
Therefore, FAITH IS ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE [CONCEIVE] FROM THE HEARING OF GOD’S WORD.
Mountains can be levelled and made plain, Valleys can be exalted and filled, Crooked Roads can be made straight, and Rough Places in life can be made smooth — when we BELIEVE what God has said by His WORD concerning that matter, then ACT accordingly on it.
YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO MAKE IT, OR UNTIL YOU MAKE IT. There’s no room to fake, dilute, or adulterate God’s WORD to make it work. Just BELIEVE and act on it accordingly, and your miraculous needs will be answered effortlessly.
UNBELIEF is a killer disease to RECEIVING from God. I mean UNBELIEF in the WORD of God.
BELIEF is of the heart [human spirit] and not of the head [Five Senses]. It’s heart knowledge and not head knowledge.
THREE REASONS TO CRAVE FOR THE WORD:
- FAITH can only COME by the HEARING of the WORD of God, that is needed to plight in life; and to thrive meaningfully, purposefully and fulfilling – Romans 10:17; Amos 8:11-14; Galatians 3:2-6.
- The WORD is of the TRINITY in the Heaven or Heavenly places where your expected blessing are located and comes to you by FAITH – 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-7, 14; Ephesians 1:3.
- The Holy Angels, supposedly the ministering agents of God that are there to convey your blessings to you from the heavens, ONLY RESPONDS, that is, ATTENDS or HARKENS to the VOICE of God’s WORD and not to a mere tears or sentiments and emotions – Psalms 103:20, Hebrews 1:7, 14.
Know for sure and sure that FAITH is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE (CONCEIVE) as a CONSEQUENCE of the HEARING of God’s WORD.
Therefore, THINK. PONDER. MEDITATE.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 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” Matthew 17:19-20.
“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” Hebrews 11:22-24.
“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in THY MOUTH, and in THY HEART: that is, the WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with THY MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH unto righteousness; AND WITH THE MOUTH confession is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD” Romans 10:8-10, 17.
SUMMARY:
Faith in God and faith in His Word are inseparable. Real faith is not pretending or “faking it.” It is hearing God’s Word, believing it in your heart, conceiving it, and acting on it.
- THE DEFINITION OF FAITH
- FAITH = HEARING + BELIEVING + CONCEIVING + ACTING on God’s Word.
- It is heart knowledge, not head/sense knowledge. Romans 10:17
- UNBELIEF blocks receiving from God. It is called a “killer disease” to faith.
- WHAT FAITH DOES
When we believe what God says and act on it:
- Mountains are levelled, Valleys exalted, Crooked roads made straight, rough places made smooth. Isaiah 40:4
- Nothing is impossible Matthew 17:20.
- You don’t need to fake, dilute, or adulterate the Word. Just BELIEVE and ACT, and God answers effortlessly.
- THREE REASONS TO CRAVE THE WORD
- Faith comes by hearing the Word — We need it to survive and thrive in life Romans 10:17; Amos 8:11-14.
- The Word is of the TRINITY — Your blessings are located in heavenly places and come to you by faith in the Word 1 John 5:7; Ephesians 1:3.
- Angels respond to the Word — Ministering spirits only hearken to and attend the voice of God’s Word, not to tears or emotions Psalms 103:20; Hebrews 1:14.
- SCRIPTURAL ANCHORS
- Matthew 17:19-20: Unbelief stops miracles. Faith as a mustard seed moves mountains.
- Mark 11:22-24: Have faith in God. Believe in your heart, say it with your mouth, doubt not, and you will have it.
- Romans 10:8-10, 17: The Word of Faith is in your mouth and heart. We believe with the heart and confess with the mouth unto salvation. Faith comes by hearing the Word.
FINAL CHARGE: THINK. PONDER. MEDITATE.
Faith is acting accordingly on what you believe because you heard God’s Word.
Stop living by senses and sentiments. Live by the Word. That’s how you receive from God.
One Line Summary:
God’s Word produces faith in the heart. When we believe it and act on it, we see God move mountains, and Heaven responds to us.
