Come Through Jesus: Every Time!

 Hebrews 11: 1-6

January 23, 2019, " Increasing Faith"....  Let me just stop right here and ask before we dive in the Messenger's topic.  First do you have Faith?  🤔

Hebrews 11: 1 defines Faith "things hoped for.... things not seen...." 

You have to believe in that statement first.  Yes, it is possible for things to happen even if I don't see it.  Sooooo why am I still worried?  Why do I demonstrate doubt?   One word:  FLESH.

We truly have to remove how we feel about a situation

Remove what normal looks like to us

Remove what the Experts say   and truly believe God is a Way Maker, a Promise Keeper, a Miracle Worker, a Lilly in the Valley, a Light in the darkness.... He is the GREAT I AM!!! OH Hallelujah!!!  

(Sometimes you have to just profess HIS WORD and Declare who HE is and WATCH your FAITH strengthen) There is Power in His Word/Name JESUS!

Yaaassss!!! Ok, let's me bring you back: Faith, we have it!  How do we increase it?

• Read His Word:       John 15: 1:4
• Listen, we can't do nothing without God; it does not work.  It is when you tap into Him your faith comes alive
• Be doers of the Word:  James 1: 22-24
• I need you to read that scripture AGAIN
• It is 2022 and I have more than realize if you just only show up to church Sat/Sun or Wed (midweek service) and pray only when something is wrong your faith is going to lack.  I invite you to learn Jesus all over again, but this time incorporate Him in your life as a necessity like breathing or eating.  YASSSS!!! You feel that! I guarantee you will discover a peace you never knew you had, and that ladies and gentlemen is called Faith. 
• Romans 12:3 I believe the Messenger provided this scripture because once our Faith is built and we are stepping in confidence a new enemy may creep around the corner called "cockiness, arrogance, aka high and mighty attitude".  God wants us to walk in confidence, but he wants us to walk in humility at the same time (you are not God or His second in command). 
• Test the Word:   Malachi 3:10
• Best way to do this is through tithing because it seems to be the hardest thing for people to do.  We just don't want to let go of money when we obtain it.  We are called to give 10% of our earnings and give an offering.  Ok, let me back up. 
• You do know the money you have is not yours?  Yes, we work, and our employer pays us BUT it was God who worked all that out so it could happen that way.   James 1:17 (I can go deeper in tithing but that will be another time) The point is God wants to see what you will do when you have abundance, just enough, and very little.  Do you trust Him to provide when you give your last or little?  Do you hold on to what you have, trying to store up treasures that God Bless you with in the first place?  This is a perfect time to test His Word- Watch God!  Oh, Believers, I am a witness!!!  God will do it!!! Every time!

Here comes faith, it may not look how you thought you would receive it or when but knowing God will do it is enough for me.  FLESH is a nasty piece of business.  Time to time you may catch yourself in turmoil over something (that sucks); it is ok to feel that way just don't dwell in that feeling.  Remember God's Word and Watch.
