FAITH ENHANCERS (1): A GOOD CONSCIENCE (B)

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
Acts 24:16 (KJV)

Today we are going to see how a good conscience helps us to be effective in our faith walk. Let us outline ways a good conscience effectively helps faith:

HOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK (2): BY ACTING ON THE WORD

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
Luke 17:14 (KJV)

Faith is not a mystery. Faith is responding in obedience to the Word of the Lord – the Bible. Stop struggling to believe; just behave the Word and you commit the one that spoke it to perform. Do you know Yahweh has exalted his Word above all His name? Psalm 138:2 says, “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.”. One of the things that cannot fail in life is the Word of Yahweh – the Bible. If you can find what is written and act on it, you can rewrite your story. As a believer, you are not helpless and powerless. Faith is the force that makes the almightiness of Yahweh available at your instance. The process of producing proofs is get what is written, activate it by speaking to yourself, devil and Yahweh, receive it by acting out your side of the deal. Every word of Yahweh gives you opportunity of a response.

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (7): BY KNOWING THE AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD YAHUSHUA

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (7): BY KNOWING THE AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD YAHUSHUA

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:17-18 (KJV)

We should know that authority as a reality in our own lives. The authority you have in the Name of Yahushua is just as though some wealthy man gave you the power to use his name in an unlimited capacity. What effect would it have if he gave you a legal document? What if he said to use this legal document in order to supply every one of your needs? What if you could do anything you wanted to do in that man’s name! Well, Yahweh has given us the power of attorney to use the Name of Yahushua. This means we have power in that Name over Satan and all the gates of hell. Yahushua said, “. . . In my name … they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (see Mark 16:17,18). Yahushua said, “… whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” (John 15:16). We have authority to use that Name. The Name of Yahushua carries authority on this earth. It is not a matter of faith, but it is a matter of knowing your legal rights in HaMashiach and taking your rightful place as a son or daughter. It is a matter of taking your place in carrying out Yahushua’s will in the earth. Getting us to cooperate with Yahweh is the biggest problem!

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (6): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (6): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR FELLOWSHIP WITH THE FATHER

That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
I John 1:3 (KJV)

The very core reason for redemption is fellowship. 1 CORINTHIANS 1:9 says, ‘God is faithful, by whom ye were called UNTO THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD.’ Notice, you were called unto fellowship with Yahweh’s Son, Yahushua HaMashiach. The Greek word for fellowship in our text is ‘koinonia’. It means joint participation, communion, intercourse, intimacy. This is literally saying that we are in intercourse with the Father, and with His Son Yahushua HaMashiach. This is the highest honour for the human spirit. The highest honour that the Father has ever conferred upon us is to be “joint-fellowshippers” with Himself, with His Son, and with the Holy Spirit in carrying out His dream for the redemption of the human race. But relationship without fellowship is an insipid thing. It is like the marriage relationship without love or fellowship. Fellowship is the very mother of faith. And fellowship is the parent of joy. It is the source of victory. And Yahweh has called us individually into fellowship with His Son. If you have fellowship with Yahweh and you are walking in the light as He is in the light, then prayer becomes one of the sweetest and one of the greatest assets to which we have become heirs in HaMashiach.

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

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

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.
