Good morning dear ones!
GOD’S CREATIVE POWER is available to you ~ it is called FAITH! When you are born-again. You can put FAITH to work and receive all that God’s Word promises you!
I exhort you to practice using your FAITH on a daily basis ~ This will cause your FAITH to develop. For example, use your FAITH to pull God’s will that is done in heaven into the earth to change your situation. I do this every day. I say, “Father, Jesus told me to pray that Your will be done in my life here on earth just like it is being done in heaven. You said that we would live days of heaven upon the earth, so I thank you for it, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
When you have FAITH for a specific thing, say a financial or physical situation, speak and behave like it is done. In Mark 11:22,24 Jesus says,
Have FAITH in God (like I do)…Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
The word “receive” in greek means “take”. We are told to take the things we need from God when we pray. So, just go away believing that you received them when you pray. Now, by FAITH in God’s Word (Mark 11:22,24), act like you have it, because it is yours.
Your words and actions turn your FAITH loose, so it can work in your life.
See, everything you need has already been provided for you by the Lord Jesus’ death on the cross. He paid for you to have everything you need ~ health, joy, peace, wisdom, prosperity, love, etc. All you have to do is apply your FAITH to it. Grace provided it ~ FAITH receives it!
Be encouraged because your FAITH in God and in His Word is the number one target of the devil’s attacks. If the enemy can stop your FAITH, he can stop you.
Make this declaration with me:
“Father, You have created me with FAITH. Just like You, I can speak to any situation and expect it to change to what You intended it to be. You have given me all things that pertain to life and godliness, and I use my FAITH to apply Your gifts to my life. I believe Your Word is true, and I base my expectations on Your faithfulness, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
Walking by FAITH and not by sight,
