Faith comes before feeling

Mark 5:29 “And straight way the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.”

Faith comes before feeling. A lot of times people want to feel it first before they believe they are healed. You see faith comes before feeling. 

If you are waiting to feel it first, faith

The Prayer of Faith

James 5:15 “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick…”

There are different types of prayers. One type of prayer does not fit every situation. But there is a type of prayer that I believe is the most often

Use your faith!

1 John 5:4 (msg) “ Every God begotten person conquers the world’s ways. The conquering power that brings the world to its knees is our faith.”

Yes you read it correctly. Faith is the conquering power that brings the world (meaning the systems of the world and the ways) to its knees and subdued under you and your faith. 

Yes your faith in God and His word. The

Faith is a necessity!

Habbakuk 2:4 “…but the just shall live by faith.”

You are to live by your faith dear child of God. 

This means you cannot live by your pastor’s faith, your husband’s faith, your wife’s faith and your parents’ faith. You live by your faith. 

To what extent is faith necessary in our lives? The

Faith makes whole!

Mark 5:34 “And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole…”

Faith in God will make whole. It will bring wholeness to your spirit, soul and body. There are some characteristics

He is a rewarder!

Hebrews 11:6 “ But without faith it is impossible to please God for he that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”

One very important thing you must understand in your relationship with God is that – it is to better your life. It is to add to you, not take

A good report

Hebrews 11: 4 “By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain…”

The faith of God in you is given to you so that you excel in life.

Faith makes a man to excel. The scripture say by faith the elders obtained a good report. You do not obtain a good report of you have not

Use your measure of faith

Romans 1:17 
“ For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith.”

The just, that is, the believer in Jesus Christ shall live by faith not by his education or lack of it. Not by the salary he makes. The just

Choose to believe God

Mark 9:23 “Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth”

‘If’ implies you have a choice. Do you choose to believe that God can do what He said He will do? 

Faith is a choice. You will have to choose. Choosing

Who God is

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that cometh to God must believe that He is…”

For faith to be strong, it must be in “who God is” and not in what God can do. When your faith is in “God is”, you know that wherever

What faith is made of

Mark 11:22 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, have faith in God”.

Having faith in God goes beyond having faith in His abilities but rather having faith in His nature, character, ways and manner of doing things.

Knowing God through His acts will bring you

The word is the evidence

2Cor. 5:7 “ 
For we walk by faith and not by sight.”

The Bible says in Hebrews 11:1 that “faith is the evidence of things not seen”. We need to understand that faith is the evidence of things not seen, not of things not available. 

We walk by the evidence of things not seen. What

Keep your faith fresh!

Hebrews 3:7-8 
“Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, today if ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts…”

We have to take care that we are not found at the place where the word of God we hear ‘today’ does not birth fresh faith

Faith is a natural response

Hebrews11:6 
“But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that cometh to God…”

The word of God that a man hears should always produce a response (of faith) toward God. Therefore, if there is no response of faith in your heart toward God in a particular situation you are in, check on what you

Are you Expecting?

Acts 3:5 “And he gave heed unto them expecting to receive something of them.”

One definite sign that you are in faith is that your faith puts you in an expectant state. To be expectant is to be in a prepared state of mind

Watch what you dwell on!

Philippians 4:8 
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

You cannot believe above your thoughts. What you

Move from hope to faith!

Hebrews11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for…”

Sometimes you hear people say they hope their prayer was answered. The scriptures said “ when you pray believe that you receive them…” not hope. 

Though hope is necessary in the life of a

Learn to be patient!

Hebrews 6:12 “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

Impatience is really a lack of faith for the scriptures say he that believeth shall not make haste. What gives faith staying power

He is faithful!

Galatians 2:20
“… the life I now live in flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God…”

How do we live by the faith of the Son of God and not by our faith? I believe sometimes in our lives what keeps us going is because 

Integrity of God's word!

Hebrews 6:18 “That by two immutable things in which it was impossible for God to lie …”

For your faith to be strong and productive, one thing you must believe in is the integrity of God’s word. That is, God’s word

Benefits of Confession

Hebrews 10:23 (ASV) “ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not: for He is faithful that promised.” 

Here are some benefits of confession: It

Believe!

John 6:29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent”

The most important thing you can do for yourself as a new testament saint is to ‘believe’. You have to know what it means to believe and perfect the art and science of believing. Then you will enter the bliss of

Do not get silent!

Mark 11:14 
“And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee here after for ever. And His disciples heard it.”

Are you still speaking? The problems of life speak to us constantly and will continue to speak. The symptoms on your body, your

Be filled with Joy!

ROMANS 15:13 
“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing…”

There are two things by which you can determine if your faith is still intact, or not. They are joy and peace. The Bible says concerning Abraham he was strong in faith giving glory to God. Have you lost your song? – Singing is

Why people do not receive

James 1:6,7 “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord”

The reason some people do not receive is just that they waver. It means to fluctuate in your faith, belief. You waver when you

Faith is active

Mark 5:27, 28, 34 
“When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched His garment. For she said, if I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole… Daughter thy faith hath made thee whole…”

Faith is active – that is

It's time to move forward!

Exodus 14:15 “And the Lord said unto Moses, wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward.”

With what God has done for you through Christ Jesus, this is what He expects from you. Go forward instead of standing

Faith in God makes you whole!

Mar 5:34 KJV
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole...

The word whole is synonymous to ‘entire’, ‘total’ and ‘all’. It means including everything or everyone without exception. Whole implies nothing has been omitted, ignored, abated or taken away.

This is what your faith in God will make

What are your evidences?

Heb 11:1 KJV
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Beloved, it is the beginning of a new year and I am sure you have dreams, vision and aspirations for the year. 

Guess what? They are what you call "things hoped for" and "things not seen" Now for them to become a reality, you need to have

If you can believe...

Mark 9:23 “…if thou can’st  believe…”

Believing is something that is assumed to be automatic to “believe”. But it is not! This is because in every situation, you need to hear the word of God on that situation for you to be able to ‘believe’ God in that

By faith, we understand!

Hebrews 11:3
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God…”(KJV)

“By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God…”(AMP)

“By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word…” (MSG)

Friend, it is a new day, the beginning of a new month and a new year. Our text indicates that the world was called into existence
