Download This Message –>> 240628 Walking in the Ways of The Lord Part 46 – Entering the Rest of Faith.MP3
Our faith applied to the Living Word that activates the Word.
Once that Word is activated by our Faith applied to the Word we must maintain our Faith in that Word.
Since Faith can only work in the now moment both Patience and Hope are both vital to maintaining our Faith in the Word.
Hebrews 11: 1 NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. (AMP C)
Faith is applied to the Word, not to the circumstance or desired result.
Our Faith and Hope applied to the Word work together along with Patience to bring forth the desired result.
James 1: 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. (NKJV)
Mark 11: 22 – 26 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. (23) For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. (24) Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. (25) “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you yourtrespasses. (26) But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.” (NKJV)
(***AMP C) Mark 11: 25 – 26 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.(26) But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings (AMP C)
Faith works by Love. You cannot walk in Love and unforgiveness, worry, fear, and strife at the same time.
Love and Faith are Spiritual forces. Unforgiveness, worry, fear, and strife are carnal or fleshly.
You and only you choose which one you are walking in. When you choose unforgiveness, worry, fear, and strife instead of Love your Faith will not work.
Real Faith is at rest, anchored, and steadfast in the absolute Truth of God’s Living Word.
When you have unforgiveness, worry, fear, and strife working in your life you are never at rest.
