The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is dedicated to the great men of faith in Bible times. It tells how they walked with God and what they did. In our day, we have tended to relate faith to belief, to the conviction held in a person’s heart that certain facts are true. We have almost made… Continue reading AND THE RAIN CAME

One year  a minister was worshiping the Lord, and he just knew in his heart that the Lord had entered the room. He didn’t feel it, he just knew it. he knew He had walked into the auditorium through the left front doors and right up in front of the stage. He stood there next… Continue reading Walking by Faith

Many people think faith is believing something is real, so that it will become real. But that’s not it at all. Faith is real and it is the substance that receives spiritual realities that exist in the realm of the Spirit when God spoke them into existence. Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance… Continue reading The Reality of Faith

If we want to start seeing the power of God manifest in our lives, we will have to start paying attention to what we say. Words have power—more than any of us realize, but we often speak them as though they are meaningless. Because of that, most believers at one time or another have been hung by… Continue reading Power of Faith-Filled Words

  Without faith it’s impossible to please God (Heb. 11:6), so our relationship with the Lord is dependent on it. Faith is what brings the things God has provided for us from the spiritual realm into the physical realm (Heb. 11:1). Our faith is the victory that enables us to overcome the world (1 John… Continue reading Faith of God

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and… Continue reading Faith Is Based on Knowledge

 We are to enter into an ever-expanding lifestyle of faith. We thank the Lord for all that He is providing of Himself to us. That He doesn’t just give us things, He always give us Himself. Christ being birthed in us is the hope of glory. Christ in us, glorifying us. The Lord put us… Continue reading Lifestyle of faith

Faith is spiritual eyesight. Faith is designed by God to make the invisible become visible to our inner man. Faith is a gift from God so that we can see what He sees. Faith is totally about the invisible realm, and how we interact with that realm as part of our normal life. We walk… Continue reading Faith sees

Eph3: 20 Now unto him that is able ( have power)to do( cause) exceeding (beyond, out of)abundantly (super abundant, more than enough)above(beyond, in behalf of) all( totality) that we ask(to desire) or think(right now, thought coming to mind), according ( motion down from higher to lower place, by virtue of)to the power that worketh( the… Continue reading Strengthening our faith

Hebrews 11:1 provides the Bible definition of faith: Hebrews 11:1Now (the word now has nothing to do with time, it is a continuative that explains, and is translated and, or also) faith is(present tense) the substance (two words-hupo, “under,” histemi, “to stand”, to be under the authority of, that which is the basis of something-guaranty,… Continue reading What is faith?

Your faith in your limitations is often greater and more deadly than you know. Notice that I call it “faith.” Perhaps you think of it as “unbelief”—but what is unbelief, except a reverse or negative faith? You are still believing in something. Even an atheist has faith. If you ask him what he believes, he… Continue reading Your faith in limitations

One of the most interesting Scriptures, and most difficult to interpret, is the Word that the Lord gave to His disciples when He said, Have I not chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? John 6:70b. It is translated a devil, but actually it is devil. Where in the course of our… Continue reading You will become your fear of your faith!

Sometimes we become so swamped with our problems that we just don’t believe God will work that miracle. The enemy comes in and drains us of all our enthusiasm and confidence with the doubt he plants in our mind, and after a while we almost believe it. Let me give you my creed concerning our… Continue reading You have to be a believer

The war that tests the remnant of God, the seemingly endless battle, is over the word God has spoken. You are not battling the things that you seem to be battling. It may appear to you that the battle is a set of circumstances or continual harassment, just as when the children of Israel were… Continue reading You’d better believe it!

This message may well be the most revolutionary and scriptural faith concept you have ever read! Do you ever find yourself in a troubled place because you are a believer in God and His Word? Then there is no question that you are in a difficult place because you are walking with God. Realize that when you… Continue reading When God needs a miracle

This is a simple little message about reality, about the things that are really real and the things that are not real. We need to recognize what is the truth and what is not the truth. Faith is the approach used by both God and Satan in the contest for human minds and spirits. Faith… Continue reading What is reality?

The Living Word is meat in due season—just the Word that you need when you need it (Psalm 145:15). The principal thing this Word will do is show you where we are, and what we have to claim and walk in now. Regardless of our situation, the problems we face are not really our real… Continue reading What faith receives; what it rejects

Jesus Christ is our Lord, but have we lost our initiative of being His bondservants and doing what He wants us to do? Most of us are not yet moving in the realm God wants us to move in. We must change from fatalism to faith. Daniel 7:22 says that the saints possess the Kingdom.… Continue reading Use God

The Epistle of Jude was written as a stern warning to the Christians in the early Church; and yet Jude is primarily speaking to the believers living in these final days before the return of the Lord. In these days of great spiritual conflict, ungodly men have crept into the Body of Christ in an… Continue reading Uncover the doubt-recover the faith

A word from the Lord has come to this generation distinct from any word He has ever spoken. The times of restoration prophesied by all the holy prophets since the world began are resting upon us now.  It’s a time to rise and believe to do great things. We can be anything God says we… Continue reading Thus, saith the Lord – we believe

(As it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. Romans 4:17. God and Abraham must have had an interesting relationship. Abraham is called the friend of God,… Continue reading The substance and the evidence

We believe in miracles. In fact, I have a strong disbelief in unbelief. Many people have so much confidence in their unbelief; they are so convinced that they are doubters, that they are fearful, that they are unbelieving. They are already convinced in their minds; defeated before they ever get into the battle. This comes… Continue reading The persistent exercise of your faith

When we compare the various interpretations of the Word of God, it becomes evident that the true and the false are not that far apart. The religious world will explain a Scripture such as James 2:26, which says, “Faith without works is dead,” with the kind of interpretation and application which spurs them on to… Continue reading The living word faith-factor

What you claim you keep or lose, according to you and your big mouth. You have all kinds of things warring inside of you, but they are not activated until you open your mouth and speak them. When you open your mouth and speak, if it’s fear and doubt, that’s what happens; if it is… Continue reading The fruit of the lips, or me and my big mouth

Press in, press in with all your heart into the things that the Lord has for you; for it’s an hour of battle and the Lord draws all of our hearts into the battle. This is the time of victory made manifest that the Lord has spoken, and of the worship of the Lord flowing… Continue reading The fight of faith

Behold, there is a faith that shall cause thee to look to the distant goals and hold steady and not desert the Word of the Lord. There is a faith that causeth thee to rest in the promises of the Lord in days of adversity. There is the faith that brings a great hope in… Continue reading The faith that makes today wonderful

Hebrews 11:1Now (the word does not have to do with time but serves to introduce something else, whether opposed to what precedes or simply continuative or explanatory. Generally it has the meaning of but, and, or also) faith (conviction of the truth of anything, with the included idea of trust, reliance upon, faith has the… Continue reading The faith of God

All of us sometimes wonder, “Am I really exercising faith?” Faith is not just some mystical acceptance in your mind of a Scripture or a promise, but it is actually an entity that is composed of several distinct parts or ingredients. These ingredients that make up faith have to be understood. As long as you… Continue reading The components of faith

Is faith complicated? Or do we unnecessarily make it so? We often complicate our faith by thinking that faith is something so intricate and complex that we must work up to that high level of faith through a difficult mental reaching into some involved ethereal mystical realm. Actually that is not true at all. A… Continue reading Take a little step

It is difficult to come into a walk with God, because it embraces that which does not appear to be true. When you look at the trends in the world, it seems as though Christianity is on its way out. Even the old traditional churches are cracking. Large segments of the Roman Catholic population are… Continue reading Reality and illusion

Many limitations are born of our own thinking. If you think you can do something, you can do it. Some scientists said recently concerning the space program that anything man can imagine he can do. It looks like the world is approaching that concept. In the field of sports, some athletes have gone into some… Continue reading Possibilities unlimited

The only way to express faith is by a continual awareness of the Lord and of His provision and promise, together with a persistence in the way you go about believing and appropriating that provision. The voicing of it must be continual. The love that God produces in us is a more sustained emotion than… Continue reading Now abides faith

God is creating an instrument; and that instrument is going to be a believing people who will hit the world with their faith. It is our faith: we are not busy with a program in this walk that goes out with evangelism, psychology, and winning ways. There isn’t anything about it to like to begin… Continue reading Moutain moving faith

In a walk with God we need to understand the balance of the sovereign leading of the Lord and human initiative. Just how much do we take our own life in our own hands and plan it, and just how much do we look to God for every decision, every answer?  The word of the… Continue reading Make it happen

Let your heart be lifted with worship unto the Lord; praise ye the Lord together. Let there be in thy heart not a question of what is going to be, but a certainty within your heart that what the Lord hath spoken surely shall come to pass. What the Lord hath prophesied to thee, surely… Continue reading Let there be a certainty in your heart

Let’s be concerned about turning our dreams into achievements. There is nothing worse than the torture of a dream that can never be attained or one that is filled with frustration and despair. We will turn all of our problems into victories, and all the open doors before us will be triumphs. We will suffer,… Continue reading If you can believe

Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the outcome (the end of their life) of their way of life, imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever. Hebrews 13:7, 8. The fundamentalist has great faith in the historical Jesus, or in… Continue reading It’s repeatable

Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart. Psalm 119:1, 2. Do you like that idea of being perfect—perfect in the way? It is important that we understand what is meant by perfection.… Continue reading I am a believer

By faith you can bring in a new age. By faith you can do anything. Pure faith often moves in a world of unseen fantasy, as far as your circumstances are concerned. Illusions of spiritual battle and struggles around you are unreal, for you actually possess the victory of the Lord. The fantasy world that… Continue reading Hold Isaac in your arms

In the book of Matthew are a number of cases where the Lord said, “O ye of little faith,” and once or twice He said, “Oh, great is thy faith.” But the Lord didn’t say that very often because instead of great faith, He usually found little. What makes our faith little or great? If… Continue reading Great faith

Has the Lord ever spoken a Word to your heart, but you did not realize the significance of it until a little time had passed? It lingered in your mind, and after an interval you realized what that Word was all about. The lord is blessing us with wisdom.” in counseling individuals and directing churches.… Continue reading From whosoever to whatsoever

We are learning the language of heaven, how God communicates with us. Faith is the Greek word- pistis it means the conviction of the truth of anything. The root of this word is peitho-to convince, to be persuaded, to listen to, obey, yield to, and act in accordance with. We need to understand the difference… Continue reading Faith

For the faith that God hath planted in thy heart must not be despised. It must not be thought a little thing; for thereby thou shalt overcome the world as thou art born of God; surely by thy faith thou shalt do it. Thou shalt contend and the Lord shall give thee the fulfillment of… Continue reading Faith to overcome

Faith is totally about the invisible realm, and how we interact with that realm as part of our normal life. Faith is designed by God to make the invisible become visible to our inner man. Faith is a gift from God so that we can see what He sees. Faith is spiritual eyesight. We walk… Continue reading Seeing the unseen

Thank God for the whole Scripture, our wonderful Holy Bible. But if we have true faith, we may need only one verse of it all. One verse could change the world. It is when we penetrate into the deep meaning of a Scripture that we finally have detonated its divine power. We can look at… Continue reading Faith is focused

Hebrews 13:5b is a promise from God that you can stand on at any time: I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. In the original Greek, this Scripture uses the word not five times. The equivalent translation in English would be, “I will not, not, not, leave you, and I will not, not, forsake you.” Jeremiah 33:3 promises, I… Continue reading Faith inherits the promises

Progressively, we are becoming more and more free in our expression of worship. But the great freedom and the great worship is just ahead of us. We must understand something about the basic problem of our emancipation and our liberty in the Lord Jesus Christ. The problem is that liberty has to be learned; it must… Continue reading Faith doesn’t stagger

The true submission that the Lord desires is not a superficial passive submission. There are progressive steps of submission, as we determine the will of the Lord and walk in it. There must be a balance between our individual seeking of the Lord and the collective ministry of confirmation that comes from the Body. First,… Continue reading Explosive faith! -via submission

The Lord is bringing you to the time in which you walk, not with faith that reaches to God with a vagueness, but with a faith that is positive and definite. This is surely a time that God is showing His people what is in His will, what they can claim, and what they really… Continue reading Exhortation to believe

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were enlightened, ye endured a great conflict of sufferings; partly, being made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, becoming partakers with them that were so used. For ye both had compassion on them that were in bonds, and took joyfully the… Continue reading Confidence and steadfastness

We need to learn how to get the word in our spirit where faith becomes a substance in it. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance (that which underlies the apparent, therefore it is the reality, the essence, the substance; that which is the basis of something coming into manifestation) of things hoped for, the… Continue reading Captivated

And when they came to the multitude, a man came up to Him, falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is an epileptic, and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water. And I brought him to Your disciples,… Continue reading BELIEVERS

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled. Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for… Continue reading BELIEVE—II

When everything is reviewed at the end of time, the viewpoint then concerning the activities of man will be a great deal different than it is at the present time. Very little of what even good, sincere Christian people are doing in their brief life span is worthy of the effort, the energies, and the… Continue reading BELIEVE—I

Faith enables us to rise above the futility and the oppression which the enemy is trying to bring against us, to keep us from walking in victory. With all the deception and illusions of the devil, it is easy to be defeated and discouraged, but faith keeps us pressing in. This must be the time… Continue reading Believe to be a believer

As the disciples were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots up. And being reminded, Peter said to Him, “Rabbi, behold, the fig tree which You cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this… Continue reading Believe that you have received

Most of the stories in the Gospel of John are like parables. In the beginning of his Gospel, we read about the Lord’s first miracle at Cana of Galilee, where He turned the water into wine (John 2:1–11). In that chapter we see a beautiful analogy: the best wine is saved for the last. The… Continue reading Believe! you’ll see!

Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves, and were filled. Work not for the food which perisheth, but for the food which abideth unto eternal life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for… Continue reading BELIEVE—II

We have made many audacious claims based on the Word of God. Let us walk in them, not backing off to a moderate or conservative position. We want no part of conservatism. The first commandment shows that God loves radicals: you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,… Continue reading Audacious claims

This is the day that the Lord hath brought thee to face the things that are before thee without fear and without wavering. The Lord hath not forsaken thee in the hour of battle. He hath not promised thee that it would be easy, but He hath given thee the word as you come into… Continue reading Aggressor of the faith

In Acts 12 is a story of Herod, who was eaten of worms, and an illustration of the importance of Body unity and agreeing in prayer. Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church, in order to mistreat them. And he had James the brother of John… Continue reading Aggressive agreement

Take everything that you learn of the principles of this walk, the truths that you have learned, and start putting them into action. Instead of being just one who dreams of things, learn how to bring your dreams into reality. Instead of being one who retreats or withdraws from life, enter into it, and live… Continue reading Active faith

Is God’s Word a delight to you? It is to me. It exhilarates me! When I awake in the morning, the joys and wonders of the glorious truths that the Lord brings to me are like the singing and chirping of a beautiful little songbird (Isaiah 50:4–5). God may have been a burning bush to… Continue reading A simple formula to great faith

And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. Revelation 21:3. Those days are just before us, but by faith I believe… Continue reading A New heaven
