You must accept your position in Christ Jesus. Walking by faith is believing in the invisible things of God. So then, something happens within to create the reality of something inside the spirit that does not yet exist on the outside. How easy it is for us to forget what God wants to do! That is what the bible says! Faith is a present response, most often against circumstances and events which directly oppose the fulfillment of the promise. You have the reached the breaking point where many lose their hold on faith.
Faith grants access Hebrews 4: Every Christian has faith. It is not a question of you not having faith, it is a question of you not exercising your faith and daring to believe the Word of God. Abraham believed every Word God spoke, so he mixed faith with what he heard Isaiah Every Word of God is sent for a purpose or to meet your purpose. How do you mix faith with what you have heard? You mix faith with what you have heard by giving voice to the Word you have heard. Angels are ministering spirits sent to minister to us - the heirs of salvation.
Angels hearken to the voice that you put into God's Word because you are speaking the voice of God.
Though Abraham's situation was contrary, he kept giving voice to that which God had spoken to him Genesis Each time God speaks His Word, He makes alive that which is dead, and calls forth into being that which is not, as if they are Romans 4: God expects you to also copy this principle because that is the way you can get that which you are looking for. Each time you choose to speak God's Word, angels hearken unto it. Moreover, the secret of faith is that you must continually say what God has said. Hence, in this month of At Last , believe that all negative things in your life are over.
Abraham Considered Not Romans 4: The word 'consider' means to think carefully about something, especially in order to take or make a decision. Everything will come against your faith! You have the reached the breaking point where many lose their hold on faith. Will you waver or become even stronger? Each time you fight for your faith, your faith becomes even stronger. Hold on to faith — the devil meant it for your harm to steal your faith; God meant it for your good to strengthen your faith.
His reliance grew even stronger in God. His faith enabled him to go on when everything else within and without wanted him to quit. It is faith that brings commendation from God. It is faith that brings the favor of God over your life.
God will bear witness to your faith and commend you for believing upon his word and holding onto that word until it is fulfilled. Faith brings delight to the heart of God. Abraham did not waver by unbelief, but was empowered by faith. God does not glory in unbelief, but in faith. Your demonstration of faith glorifies God.
Your demonstration of faith is the proper response to God — it is what God always intended for man beginning in the garden. To be fully convinced is to be wholly certain. It is to be fully assured. Faith is being sure of what we hope for. Faith is being certain of what we do not see. So then, something happens within to create the reality of something inside the spirit that does not yet exist on the outside. This is how Noah could build an ark. He was warned about things not yet seen and acted with holy fear to build an ark and save his family.
He obeyed and went even though he did not know where he was going. Faith on the inside is fully convinced of the reality of what the word of God declares shall be. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised. When Abraham laughed at his own inability to procreate a son, he was not reproved. Yet when Sarah laughs, her underlying unbelief invokes a response from God.
I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son.
God is able to make his power known. Look at Hebrews And figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from the dead. Where does that kind of faith come from that Abraham concluded in his thinking that God could raise the dead? Oh, we need an encounter with the living word, an encounter with God, through revelation by the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of his presence in our midst.
Confess that you need a change in your thinking so that you can conclude that God is able to do what he promised! Jesus said in Mark Two Kinds of Hope vs. When the God of glory appeared to Abraham, He attracted him and sanctified him from the rest of the world unto God Exo. The same happened with us when we were born again: God called us by His virtue and glory 2 Pet.
When God appears to us, He transfuses Himself into us and even becomes in us the very believing element with which we believe into Him.
Paul commends those who “walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham” ( Romans ). Through his faith and obedience, the founder of the Hebrew. WALKING IN THE STEPS OF ABRAHAM'S FAITH. Text: “What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham.
Stefan4m on twitter — Lord, appear to us again and again. Even if we try really hard every day to be a proper Christian, in the world today and in the degraded situation in the church in general it is very easy to lose our vision.
Brother Watchman Nee helps us in this matter,. If we do not see this, we will be like those who build a house without a foundation. How easy it is for us to forget what God wants to do! Many times, when we have too much to do and the work becomes a little more hectic, we lose sight of our spiritual calling. We need to come again and again to the Lord and beseech Him: Collected Works of Watchman Nee, vol. When God appears to us, there will be a reaction in our being:
