ADVANCE: Faith

A thread

#Oikiasundays
Mark 11:10-14 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come,
....he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves;
for the time of figs was not yet.

14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Take note He spoke words and his disciples heard it
verse 20-23 then says And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come
to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Jesus introduces us to the Law of Faith
That means while you pray, believe you've received it.
Thus, nothing is impossible with the believing one.

The law of faith is how people get saved.

Believe with your heart confess with your mouth
Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Therefore agreement between what your heart is saying and your mouth is saying is an active faith. Your words lines up with what you believe.
How does faith come ?

When a man has believes, his believe is expressed in his actions.

Believe is the active form of FAITH. Faith is expressed in believing.
There is a time lag when you receive in prayer and see the manifestation.

Manifestation occurs in time, so we need to be patient after receiving an answer in the realm of the spirit.
And through this time the Holy Spirit leads you to the things you ave to do and places you have to be on the thing you are asking for in prayer.
Faith is not mechanical it is a walk with God in time.

Faith has a language - Romans 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Romans 4:15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
God doesn't call you by your sin but as he sees you.

See Romans 4:17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
There is a patience component of faith and the leading of the Spirit.

When you are in faith it will show in your language.
Romans 4: 17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

This is how God talks.
He wouldn't call you according to your sin, but how he sees you.

We must begin to call those things and interact with them as though they were after you pray.
How does faith come?

You don't work faith up

Romans 10:16-18 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard?
Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

That means a man can not have faith in something he has not heard. The woman with the issue of blood, heard of Jesus first.

Faith is in the word of God.
The revelation you are exposed to determine the words of your mouth.

Many a times the faith that you have is association dependent. What you constantly hear.

Therefore double up on your hearing.
No matter what the situation looks like, never speak in defeat.
It is what you hear that you believe, therefore ensure you are listening and listening to the word of God.

Whose report would you believe? What you believe determines what comes out of your mouth.
Faith is not stagnant
Faith is expressive
Faith is Locomotive
Faith causes you to take a step
Faith is active

When God asks you to do something, take that step and do it, stick to it and He will cause it to grow bigger.
Action Point when believing God for something

1. Listen - get messages on what you are believing God for. Listen again and again till your mind lines up. Feed on all the scriptures concerning it, meditate on it.

2. Pray in the Spirit - Express your desire to God
3. Take Steps: This involves the leading of the spirit. Searching in your spirit via praying in the Spirit to know what exactly you are supposed to do.

This is why your faith will not be productive if there is no fellowship with the spirit of God.

Faith is not mechanical!!
