The Time Test

Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him (Psalm 105:19). The above verse refers to Joseph. He had a vision of his family bowing in obeisance before him as a leader. He was 17 years old at the time. This did not come to pass until Joseph was 30. The in between time was difficult. He was sold as a slave by his brothers and his father was told that he was killed by wild animals. The ruler’s wife thought Joseph was so handsome and she lusted afte

Refuse Fear!

In God I will praise His word, In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to me? (Psalm 56:4). I sought the Lord, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears (Psalm 34:4). Fear debilitates us. Satan uses the tactic of fear to harass and sideline us we will yield to it. For many people, fear is a way of life. From the time they get up in the morning until the time they go to bed, fear rules. Fear of tragedy, of financial failure, of sickness, and of

Words And Faith Go Hand In Hand

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak (2 Corinthians 4:13). Our words carry our faith. Words are one of faith’s ways of expressing itself. Faith doesn’t just float up to the Lord from our hearts in silence. Our faith is carried to Him with Words. So, if you never say what you believe, then you have dead, lifeless, nonworking faith! From salvation throughout the rest of

Are You Passing The Faith Test?

Until the time that His word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him (Psalm 105:19). The above scripture refers to Joseph having a dream of leading his family and it taking thirteen years for the dream to happen. The time between God speaking and God’s word to Joseph through the dream being fulfilled was a great time of testing. His brothers sold Joseph into slavery. Joseph was unjustly imprisoned, yet he refused to see himself as a victim of circumstance. He chose to k

Don’t.Ever.Quit!

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I

Do You Live In Fear Or In Faith?

For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but He has given us a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7 – Amplified). A fear based life is an unsettled life. What’s going to happen in my future, in my home, in my travels, in my body, in my finances? A faith based life expects God to act in every circumstance and situation that life brings. A fear b

Let Your Faith Meet Every Challenge Life brings You!

For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18). Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them (Mark 11:24). As we get closer to the end of the age, it’s more important than ever to walk by faith. Our

Start Small With Your Faith

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses (1 Timothy 6:12). Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes (Mark 9:23). While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18). For

Call Those Things That Do Not Exist as Though They Did!

As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations) in the presence of Him whom he believed — God, Who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did (Romans 4:17). God wants us to imitate Him in all things. One of the ways He desires that we imitate Him is in calling those things that do not exist as though they did. The above verse is rich in helping us understand the basic concepts of walking by faith. First of all, notice that

Your Faith Is A Shield!

Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one (Ephesians 6:16). It’s the shield of faith that quenches all the fiery darts that the enemy throws at you. We need to remind ourselves regularly that we don’t wrestle against human challengers, but against the demonic forces of Satan. Satan has a legal right to rule over those who do not know Jesus. Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sin

You’ve Got To Say It

Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14).Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37). It’s right thinking, right believing, and right speaking, that will lead us into victory in our lives. The first thing that we must correct is our thinking. We are to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good

Praise Is The Language Of Faith

Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls — Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills (Habakkuk 3:17-19). Praise is the language of faith. When life turns sour, turn

Faith Just Won’t Quit!

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise (Hebrews 10:35-36). Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him (Hebrews 10:38). Endurance or patience is an important ingredient of faith. It’s faith and patience that inherits the promises. The Greek word for endurance is hupomeno and it means to remain when

Is God’s Word The Foundation Of Your Life?

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and i

Your Words Reveal What You Really Believe!

And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak (2 Corinthians 4:13). For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says (Mark 11:23) Faith cannot be released from your heart to the Father without words.

Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [do not offend or vex or sadden Him], by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God’s own, secured) for the day of redem

Pile your troubles on God’s shoulders— He will carry your load, He will help you out. He will never let good people topple into ruin (Psalms 55:22 – MSG). Cast your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you; He will never allow the [consistently] righteous to be moved (made to slip, fall, or fail)(Psalms 55:22 – AMPC).

The Tenses Must Be Right To Receive From God

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them (Mark 11:24). The tenses must be right to receive from God. Faith believes that God has or God is presently working on your behalf. Faith never looks to the future! If you’re waiting on some point in the future for God to do something for you, then you’re hoping and not believing. You’re in the future where hope is, and you’re not in the past and present where
