Through Faith
12/3/2005
Faith is the channel through which we connect to God who is invisible. Faith is a channel. Hebrews 11 tells us what the patriarchs accomplished through faith. Paul tells us that we are saved by grace through faith. The channel through which we receive anything from God is called faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Every time the Lord speaks to you faith arises in your heart. Faith is a substance of the spirit realm. We do not reason about faith. We receive faith.

You do not need great faith; just a grain of mustard seed-size faith. We make a mistake to think we need giant defeating faith! All we need is a little faith and our God will defeat the giants for us! We do not need faith in our faith, we need faith in God!

Pistos is faith and it means reliance upon and constancy of profession, persuasion.
The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living.

My vision of faith
I heard a voice say to me, ‘here comes your faith! I acted out my faith. Faith comes – and goes if you do not act on it. There are moments of faith to do something. It is called a window of faith’s opportunity. Develop faith while you can.

A friend of ours in Australia was diagnosed with cancer and told he had a short while to live. When I went to pray for him in hospital he said, ‘it’s too late Andre, I have no faith! Why don’t they teach us about faith in our churches?’ I cried at his tomb and silently made a resolution to teach people to use their God-given faith.

By faith in Christ everything is possible
Faith is a gift from God. Look at what ordinary people accomplished when they believed God…
4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

Faith is our proof that God will keep His promises in His Word.
God wants to give you faith for what you have to face today! Receive it – NOW! In Jesus’ Name!

God specializes in things thought impossible
God specializes in things thought incurable
Faith in God can move a mighty mountain
Faith can calm the troubled sea
Faith in God can make deserts like a fountain
Faith is your channel through which you receive things from God.

That is why the devil, the enemy of your soul will constantly attack your faith, because if he can rob you of your faith he can destroy you. Faith and patience work together. We learn to walk by faith and not by sight – even if you do not see the promise manifested in the natural realm yet, be behold it afar off, embrace it and welcome it as a reality in the faith realm and we are convinced that God keeps His promises. Faith is for people who are being perfected – not for perfect people!

By faith you overcome your own human weaknesses and learn to trust in God to perfect that which concerns you. Through faith all things become possible!
