HOW DO I LIVE IN DIVINE HEALTH COVENANTLY (2): SERVICE
And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Exodus 23:25 (KJV)
We were saved to serve. The Lord Yahushua said that He was among His disciples as one that serves (see Luke 22:27). As the Father sent Him, so has He sent us (see John 20:21). He was sent to serve, He has also sent us to serve. How did Yahushua maintain His divine Health package? By taking his place in service. Acts 10:38 says, ‘How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.’ That is service, isn’t it? Yahushua was going long distances just to bring the people the gospel of the Kingdom. We saw that Yahushua was committed to the gospel. Serving Yahweh in soul winning is about the best service that you can render now to the Lord. Yahweh has done everything that is required to save humanity, but unfortunately many people have not heard of this yet. Anyone that is committed to spreading the gospel and turning many to righteousness is performing one of the highest form of service and Yahweh sees to it that you are in health. John 15:2 says, ‘Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.’ Yahweh will see that you are purged of any form of impurities that could likely break down your system.
FAITH IS THE VICTORY

FAITH IS THE VICTORY
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith
I John 5:4 KJV
There are things that are automatic. Whenever faith is in place, victory is automatic. Our text states that FAITH is the victory. But the way in which we often interpret it tends to skew the meaning. Most of us think that we are being told that if we have enough faith we will press through to the victory. In short, we think that it is faith that carries us into any victory. But wait. Read this verse carefully. It really does not say that our faith carries us into any victory. Rather, this verse states that faith IS the victory. Do you see that? It is not an insignificant distinction. Faith itself – the reality of faith in us – THAT IS THE VICTORY. Anything else that comes about because of this faith is not the victory, but the faith itself IS the victory. God is here telling us that if faith is established in us that this faith IS the victory. It is our victory, yes, but really, it is GOD’S victory – in us. The faith itself IS the victory. The faith isn’t UNTO the victory. The faith IS the victory. In other words, the existence of faith in us is evidence of His victory in us. The two are as one, for the verse says, “This is the victory….our faith.”
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.
EXAMPLES OF DIVINE DIRECTION

EXAMPLES OF DIVINE DIRECTION
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
Exodus 13:17 (KJV)
We are going to see scriptural examples of divine direction and see what we can draw from them. When Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt, He did not lead them through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. So you should be wary of shortcuts; they always cut short the lives of those who take them. The destiny of Israel would have been wasted had they taken the shortcut to Canaan which was the way of the land of the Philistines. Yahweh knows that some opportunities are traps in disguise, so you must trust Him that He knows what He is doing in your life. The journey may be long but it is better to finish alive than to arrive early as a corpse. Yahweh led Israel by the wilderness. Beloved, wilderness is not a palatable environment. The way Yahweh may lead you most times, may not be palatable but you can be sure that it is the way of life and peace.
IF IT IS THIS WISDOM THEN (7): IT IS WITHOUT HYPOCRISY

IF IT IS THIS WISDOM THEN (7): IT IS WITHOUT HYPOCRISY
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:17 (KJV)
This is the last characteristic of divine Wisdom that Brother James talked about. This Wisdom is without hypocrisy. In Greek, the words for hypocrisy and hypocrite have to do with someone playing a part, as if they were an actor on stage. They’re dissemblers, pretenders who simulate, feign, and pretend to be something they are not (Thayer’s dictionary, entries on G5273 and G5271). The opposite is what we find in wisdom — anupokritos (G505), something that is unfeigned, undisguised, sincere. Somehow, we’re all familiar with the problem of hypocrisy in the Church. For most of us, it’s something we’ve had close experience with. We’ve found ourselves disgusted with others who we identify as hypocrites and we may even have caught ourselves doing hypocritical things. The Bible tells us “wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom” (Prov. 4:7, KJV). Wisdom is something Yahweh has in abundance and which He is eager to share with those who ask for it (James 1:5). As we grow in wisdom we will become people who are sincere, authentic, and live without hypocrisy.
