FEAR IS FAITH IN REVERSE

FEAR IS FAITH IN REVERSE

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Job 3:25 (KJV)

In a way, everybody has faith. When you believe and confess things not consistent with scriptures, you have faith in the devil. Faith in the devil is called fear. So fear is simply faith in reverse gear. There is power in faith, in believing. Yahushua told the centurion,” …Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.” (see Matthew 8:13). Believing is not something you always like to do, or always feel like doing. It’s a decision you make. Just as faith is a powerful force, there is also a force opposed to faith called fear. Fear is the reverse gear of faith. It is actually faith in the devil. Fear is faith that the wickedness of Satan is superior than the goodness of Yahweh. Fear is faith that Yahweh is helpless in the face of the cruelty of the wicked and that evil is more powerful than good and must occur.

IS FAITH AND HOPE THE SAME?

IS FAITH AND HOPE THE SAME?

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)

There is a difference between faith and hope. Hope is confident expectation of a good future or salvation. Hope is in the future. Hope never materializes because once it materializes it is no longer hope. This is very instructive and striking, never miss it. As long as you are in hope, you will never see your hope materialize because if it does, hope ceases to exist. Romans 8:24 (KJV) says, ‘For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?’ For as long as you are in the realm of hope, you will lack manifestations, because there is always tomorrow and tomorrow never comes. But faith is now. Faith is bringing hope into present reality. Thank Yahweh we do have a Blessed Hope. The Blessed Hope of the Church is the soon return of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach, the resurrection of the saved dead, the rapture of the living saints, the hope of heaven, and the hope of seeing our loved ones and friends. Thank Yahweh for that hope. We rejoice in that hope, but that’s all future tense. Jesus is coming again, whether we believe it or not. He is coming because the Word says so. The resurrection, rapture and the return of the Lord is going to take place whether we have faith in it or not.

CALLING THE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE

CALLING THE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE

… before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Romans 4:17B [KJV]

The Yahweh-kind of faith calls the things that are not as though they were. This is one vital manifestation of the Yahweh-kind of faith that you must start practising from today. In Genesis 1:2 (KJV), the word says that ‘And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.’ When you see issues in your life and they look wasted and without form, don’t complain and wail. Do what Yahweh did. Genesis 1:3 (KJV) says, ‘And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.’ Yahweh started calling the things that were not presently real into reality. ‘Light, be!’ Yahweh called. As Yahweh called them forth, the things that be not, became. This is one of the principal tenets of faith. You must ignore the situation and speak your expectation. Until you call forth your expectation, you cannot experience manifestation. You desire to be married, start calling forth your husband, wherever he is under the sun to show up and don’t stop or waiver until he shows. In any area of expectation, call forth your desire that be not as though they were.

FAITH COMES

FAITH COMES

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17 (KJV)

Faith is the gift that the Holy Spirit imparts to your spirit upon hearing the gospel of Yahushua HaMashiach. So faith comes primarily by hearing the Word of HaMashiach. Someone had said that the second hearing in our text is understanding; so that the text could read faith comes by hearing and understanding the word of HaMashiach without doing the text any injustice. It is not anything that you hear that gives you faith; it is hearing the word of HaMashiach. So, you must be careful of what you hear. You are absolutely responsible for what enters your ears or what you see. Some hearing imparts fear. Just as faith comes by hearing the Word of HaMashiach, fear comes by hearing the word of Satan and evil people. So guarding what you hear becomes very paramount.

FAITH IN WHAT? (1)

FAITH IN WHAT? (1)

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Mark 11:22 (KJV)

We live in a world where you are encouraged to believe in yourself. Self-confidence or self-reliance is not to be reckoned with here. Our faith is in Yahweh, our Elohim, El-Shaddai, Adonai. Have faith in Yahweh our Master told us in our opening text. Come to the point of total confidence in Yahweh; total reliance in His Word and complete abandonment to His will and purpose for your life. Yahweh does not want you to trust in yourself. II Corinthians 1:9 (KJV) says, ‘But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:’ Yahweh want to be your sufficiency. II Corinthians 3:5 (KJV) says, ‘Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;’ All these self-confidence motivation is an attempt by Satan to bankrupt your faith, don’t subscribe to it. Jeremiah 10:23 (KJV) says, ‘O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.’

FAITH: A SCRIPTURAL DEFINITION (2)

FAITH: A SCRIPTURAL DEFINITION (2)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the sign that the things not seen are true.
Hebrews 11:1 [BBE]

Continuing from yesterday in trying to define what faith is, we shall look at faith to the believer now. So, what is faith? Secondly, faith is believing the Bible as the Word of Yahweh and responding in obedience thereby. Faith is being convinced about the provisions of scripture and acting out of that conviction thereby provoking divine manifestation. Faith is coming to the point that your reality is the Word and behaving it out, thereby committing the integrity of Yahweh to perform His Word. In Luke 17:12-19 we saw the story of ten lepers who came to Yahushua and pleaded that He should have mercy on them. In response, the Lord Yahushua said to them, “Go shew yourselves unto the priests” (see Luke 17:14). They were still leprous as He spoke to them. No change in their situation at all. Faith is believing the Bible and acting on it. That was exactly what these men did. They believed that for whatever reason that Yahushua told them to go and show themselves to the priests means that they were healed. They started off without any sign of being healed yet. Beloved, faith is you believing the Word and acting on it. Until you act on the Word, you can never see the power of Yahweh displayed on your behalf. The Bible says that as they went in obedience to show themselves to the priests, they were cleansed. Halleluyah! That is faith. Obeying the Word because you believe it. It is coming to that place that your reasoning dies at the instance of the Word. It is not a mystery at all. Just simply believing and acting to show that you believe, then the heavens open over you to show that the Word is infallible. Some of us would like to be healed first before going to show ourselves to the priest. Isn’t it the logical thing to do? But that is not faith way. Faith says, obey the Word first, before you can see the hand of Yahweh stretched out in your direction. If you are waiting to see that power move before you act, you would remain in that situation forever because without faith, it is impossible to move the hand of Yahweh.

FAITH: A SCRIPTURAL DEFINITION (1)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
HEBREWS 11:1 [KJV]

There is a world where all things are possible. There is a place where you can have all your needs met according to His riches in glory. Faith is that spiritual force which opens humanity to a world of unlimited possibilities. Faith is a world of no limits; if you can believe, all things are possible. Faith is living in a spiritual world of no limits. Faith is the most potent force in the whole universe; it’s the key to everything in the kingdom. Faith is the connection to the power source of Yahweh. We all agree that with Yahweh all things are possible (see Matthew 19:16; Mark 10:27). If there is any impossibility, it is only in the human realm because with Yahweh all things are possible. So, that power that makes all things possible is connectable only with faith. With faith, you stand in the realm of all possibilities. If faith is this powerful, what exactly is faith. If we can define it, we can find it and take delivery of it.

PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR MARCH 2023

PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR MARCH 2023

And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Luke 1:45 [KJV]

Welcome to the month of March 2023, the end of the first quarter of the year of our Dependable Yahweh. This first quarter is the building stages of the year. What you do this first quarter to a great extent will determine what results you will command the whole year. That is why we started this year with being empowered at the altar of fasting and prayer. It takes power to function. Until you function, you cannot see the performance of Yahweh in your life. However, we function from a foundation of love. Psalms 11:3 says, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The foundation of functioning in order to see the manifestation of Yahweh is love and that is what we just explored in the month of February 2023. I Corinthians 13:1-3 shows us that you can operate the best revered gift of the Spirit and it would still not secure you change of story. Loving Yahweh and proving it is what provokes divine manifestation for you. It all starts from responding to the love of the Father who is the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach in salvation and then coming to know Him by His Word. It is knowing Him that ignites love for Him in your spirit. When you love Him, you are over in life and destiny. That love proves itself in the four dimensions we discussed in our Royal Banquet Services in February. Please listen to them on our blog princechimaobim.home.blog/royal-life-church-intl-messages/. I am challenging you to let your relationship with the Lord Yahushua be powered by love. I Corinthians 2:9 shows us that the dimension that Yahweh has in store for those that love Him hasn’t even entered into the imagination of people. This foundation is very crucial for what the Lord is saying this new month.
