Faith Always Believes God
Bishop James C. Hash Sr
Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, WITH MEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT NOT WITH GOD: FOR WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Your destiny is not in the hands of the natural forces of the world that you see with your natural eyes.
Your destiny is either in the hands of satan, who is the prince of this world, who governs the darkness of this world or in the hands of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Son of the Living God, Who brings the Light of Truth and everything good into the path of your life.
But neither satan nor Jesus can choose for you. God placed that choice in your will to make. No one else can choose for you. Your choice determines your destiny – life or death.
Deuteronomy 30:19...KJV YOU LIFE and DEATH, BLESSING and I CALL HEAVEN AND EARTH TO RECORD THIS DAY AGAINST YOU, that I HAVE SET BEFORE CURSING: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that BOTH THOU and THY SEED MAY LIVE:
I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU....
CHOOSE LIFE...
YOU WILL EAT THE FRUIT OF YOUR CHOICE... (Jeremiah 17:10).
1 John 5:4...KJV For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH
Through Christ, we become world overcomers.
God is our Source.
Through Christ, we always triumph.
Refuse to entertain or consider anything except complete, overwhelming victory
II CHRONICLES 20:20 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH....Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; BELIEVE IN THE LORD YOUR GOD, SO SHALL YE BE ESTABLISHED; BELIEVE HIS PROPHETS, SO SHALL YE PROSPER.
BELIEVE: To believe is to have confidence In God, His Word, and His messenger.
BELIEVE: To trust the truth of God’s Word.
JUST BELIEVE...
MATHEW 8:5-10, 13...KJV And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 WHEN JESUS HEARD IT, HE MARVELLED, and said to them that followed, VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, I HAVE NOT FOUND SO GREAT FAITH, NO, NOT IN ISRAEL.
13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, GO THY WAY; and AS THOU HAST BELIEVED, SO BE IT DONE UNTO YOU. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
SPEAK THE WORD ONLY...
GO THY WAY: It is a spiritual thing, an act of faith separate from all feelings.
AS THOU HAST BELIEVED: I believed that I have received it, without seeing it naturally. I believe I have received by faith.
SO BE IT DONE UNTO THEE: I hold it in faith, and I thank
God continually that it’s mine. I believe I have received it, with praise and adoration. Faith says most confidently, “I believe, I receive.”
II Corinthians 4:13...KJV WE HAVING THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH, ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I spoken; WE ALSO BELIEVE, and therefore speak;
WE HAVING THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH, ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN, “In the Word of God.”
The Word and the Spirit of God
The Son is the Word of God – the Substance of what God says.
The Spirit is the Living Voice; we need God’s secret voice from heaven to guide us, teach us, as it taught Jesus what to say and what to do.
I BELIEVED AND THEREFORE HAVE I SPOKEN.
Believing, Praise, and Prayer are the links between heaven and earth.
WE ALSO BELIEVE AND THEREFORE SPEAK.
A heart full of God has power for the Prayer of Faith.
John 1:14...KJV JESUS WAS FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH. FAITH BELIEVES...the Word of God and the Spirit of God
MARK 5:35-36...KJV While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead:
why troublest thou the Master any further?36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, BE NOT AFRAID, ONLY BELIEVE.
Jesus confronted the spirit of fear.
BE NOT AFRAID, ONLY BELIEVE.
The Word of God
The Word of God imparts the Spirit of God.
The Spirit of God follows the Word of God.
The key link between the time you have received from heaven and have received on earth is BELIEVE.
Mark 9:23...KJV Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH.
Believe God and receive the impossible.
John 4:46-50...KJV So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 JESUS SAITH UNTO HIM, GO THY WAY; THY SON LIVETH. And THE MAN BELIEVED THE WORD THAT JESUS HAD SPOKEN UNTO HIM, and HE WENT HIS WAY.
THE MAN BELIEVED THE WORD THAT JESUS HAD SPOKEN UNTO HIM, and HE WENT HIS WAY.
The power to believe a promise depends entirely on faith in the promiser.
The value of the promise depends on the value of the promiser.
John 6:28-29...KJV Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?29 Jesus answered and said unto them, THIS IS THE WORK OF GOD, THAT YE BELIEVE ON HIM WHOM HE HATH SENT.
Make God, His Word your own, through Faith.
The promises will become yours also.
Belief system – Is your belief system working “In God”?
Your belief system must be rooted in the Word of God.
We must live and associate with God in personal, loving communication.
God Himself should be everything to us.
Believing in God is different from believing God.
The devil believes there is a God.
Believing in God can be mental-ascent.
Believing God: There is a confidence, attitude toward God and your trust in the truth of His Word.
Hebrews 11:6...KJV But WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM: for HE THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, and THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM THAT DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.
HE THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE... When you believe God, your divinity goes into action.
You and God become one and God takes the lead – you just follow Him and obey Him.
God wants you healed NOW, just BELIEVE.
God wants you delivered NOW, just BELIEVE.
God wants you blessed NOW, just BELIEVE.
