HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (5): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
I John 4:4 (KJV)

Of all the mighty truths connected with redemption, this is the apex: Yahweh Himself, after He recreated us and made us new creatures and made us His own, is actually making our bodies His home! When you are born again, it is more than an experience. The Holy Ghost, the Third Person of the Godhead, a divine Personality, comes to live in you. In fact, the Bible even goes so far as to say that Yahweh Himself is living in you. 2 CORINTHIANS 6:16 says, ‘16 … for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell IN them, and walk IN them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.’ Yahweh no longer dwells in the man-made Holy of Holies. Through the new birth, our bodies have become His temple.

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (4): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

II Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)

This area of righteousness is one of the major arsenals of the devil against the faith of most believers in HaMashiach because they lack the understanding of our righteousness in HaMashiach. Firstly, at new birth, you were born righteous because you took after your father. It is same DNA in your father Yahweh that runs in you. Yahweh is righteous and that nature of righteousness is what you were born with (see 1 Peter 1:23; John 1:13). At new birth, you are not trying to be righteous, you were born that way. The challenge for most people is that this nature of righteousness is only in your spirit because man is a spirit which has a soul and lives in a body. Your soul/mind was not born again. Your body was not born again. So without educating your mind with the word of Yahweh and disciplining your body, you can never manifest this righteousness practically (see Romans 12:1-2; I Corinthians 9:27). In Yahushua HaMashiach you are perfect, righteous and holy. You are complete in Him (see Colossians 2:10). You must educate your mind and discipline your body to conform to this new nature in your spirit. Sometimes, you may fall short but as soon as that happens, confess your sin and fall back in line with that your nature of righteousness.

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (3): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF YOUR NEW CREATION STATUS

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away? behold, all things are become new.
II Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)

Our redemption has a legal side which is very crucial for you to understand in order to stand in liberty and command of faith. You need to know that in the mind of Justice, we were recreated in Yahushua HaMashiach. This means that the justice for sin demands death. When HaMashiach died, the new creation died in and with Yahushua HaMashiach. In the death of Yahushua HaMashiach on the cross, the demand of Justice was fully satisfied. Halleluyah! That is not the end of the Story. Yahushua HaMashiach went to hell on our behalf and collected the key that Adam surrendered to Satan back. He was raised up on the third day with Zoe – the Yahweh-kind of life and as many as surrender to Him, He quickens (recreates and gives life) to their spirits.

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (2): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR REDEMPTION

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, … 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
I Peter 1:18-19 (KJV)

What is it that makes you a believer in HaMashiach? What is it that makes you different from other people that claim to be calling on Yahweh? The difference is that the believer in HaMashiach is redeemed by the precious blood of Yahushua HaMashiach which was shed on the cross. The Greek word rendered redeemed in our text is ‘lutroo’ meaning to ransom. To ransom is to pay for the release of someone; it is to pay money demanded for the return of a captured person; it is the act of freeing from captivity or punishment. In the Garden of Eden, Adam sold humanity to the captivity of Satan and his agents, then humanity was condemn to hell as the devil. Yahweh came down in the person of Yahushua HaMashiach to redeem man. Having paid in full, you are now redeemed. What are the implications of our redemption? This is very critical for you to understand because it will just automatically put you over the dominion of the devil and his agents. The implications of our redemption includes:

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (1): BY KNOWING THE INTEGRITY OF YAHWEH’S WORD

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (1): BY KNOWING THE INTEGRITY OF YAHWEH’S WORD

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Psalms 138:2 (KJV)

Faith is a function of the knowledge of Yahweh. You cannot exercise faith beyond the level of revelation of the Lord Yahushua that you have. Psalm 9:2 (KJV) says, ‘And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.’ This follows that if you don’t have faith in Yahweh, it is the proof of your bankruptcy of the knowledge of Yahweh. You cannot Know Yahweh and not trust Him. One aspect of the knowledge of Yahweh that helps you to function in highest kind of faith is the knowledge of the integrity of the Word of Yahweh. When we talk about integrity, we talk about the infallibility, unbreakability and reliability of the Word of Yahweh.

IS THERE ANY CONTRADICTION BETWEEN FAITH AND WORK?

IS THERE ANY CONTRADICTION BETWEEN FAITH AND WORK?

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James 2:20 (KJV)

Romans 3:27-28 (BBE) says, ‘What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith. For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.’ Apostle Paul is saying that you don’t need the works of the law to emerge the righteousness of Yahweh in HaMashiach. That the works of the law cannot get you saved, only faith in Yahushua HaMashiach can. James 2:26 (NET) says, ‘For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.’ Apostle James is saying that if your faith in Yahushua HaMashiach does not produce good works, that your faith is dead. Now, the question is: Is there a conflict between the view of Apostle Paul and Apostle James? The answer is emphatically NO. There is no conflict whatsoever between the views of these Apostles. They are saying two different things and it is important you understand it.

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

#WordForTodayDevotional

Monday March 6, 2023

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.
