GREAT FAITH How many of us has faith growth, that we can say we have great
faith, or that others can see that we have such great faith, that we move the
mountains in our life. To have this great faith, is to listen to what God is saying
in His Word, the Holy Bible. Romans 10:17 “So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of
God.”
So the more we hear the preaching of the Word of God on Faith,
and about Faith, the more of Faith we will have, and of course this goes for
everything we need from God, whether it be healing, finances, family members
their souls saved, so the more we hear the Word of God about Faith the more
chances we will receive what we are asking for. When we have faith in God and in His Word, then we can rest in
peace on this earth knowing that God will protect us, in every situation, and
not only protect us, but also avenge us of our adversary 1Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a
roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:” Psalm 4:8 “when we have Faith and pray this verse at night we can be
assured of a safe, and peaceful nights sleep.” When we pray and believe Isaiah 54:17 to win against a false
witness, as it has won court cases where the accused has been innocent, so
again having Faith in God and in His Word, we come out a winner. Hebrew 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen.” Abraham, is the father of our Faith, he was obedient, he went
to places he had no idea where he was going, just listening to God our Father
which led him from place to place. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have that kind of faith, and trust in
our Heavenly Father, and of course we know He will not lead us astray, or
lead us into any danger. If we do find ourselves in danger, we have a way out, and we
are protected while we are there, if we have the Word of God in us, then
Jesus is going to protect us, as we speak out His Word. Luke 18:7 “And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and
night unto him, though he bear long with them?” Luke 18:8 “I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless
when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” Hebrew 11:6 “But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he
that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of
them that diligently seek him.” To have great Faith it starts off with Faith the size of a
mustard seed, and as hear about Faith, and talk Faith, we receive the Word of
Faith into our spirit, then we have Faith that it grows into Great Faith,
just like the mustard seed grows into a great tree Luke 13:19 “It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and
cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of
the air lodged in the branches of it.” Please read: Matthew 21:21 and Luke 17:6 Love and Blessings Ivan |
