What is faith and how do I use it? Learn about faith in this devotional...



"Who is it that overcomes the world except those who believe that Jesus {is the Son} of God" - 1 John 5:5
Today I wanted to to talk to you about #faith. Many pastors and preachers mix up faith and put aside the bible for proof. They just all-talk. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1. What this verse means is that faith is seeing ahead of the situation now. It is saying, "No, this is only the beginning. The real thing is coming" to your situation. Or, it is saying, "I don't care what the Devil says! God has worked a way out of this!". But some people have the wrong mindset and fix themselves on "I won't wait. It will always go wrong". These people do not understand the power of their mind. Your speech, mind and soul can control your future. Some people say: "I'm never gonna get free from my _____" Even if the doctor says this, doesn't mean us as Christians should say it! We should use our authority to good use. "This thing overcomes the world, our faith" - 1 John 5:4. If our beliefs control the whole world, why do we wait? Our faith can control anything. Satan is under our feet. Our faith is strengthened when we read our Bibles and pray for us and each other. We should think positive and not negative things. That should round up what faith is!


How do I use faith?

Faith predicts the unseen. For example, everything may be going well in someone's life, but you see Satan's evil plan. To use faith, we need to believe that God knows what He is doing and, using the power Jesus has given us, to command the devils and demons in that somone's life are sent back to where they come from. Many people never teach on this because they don't understand it. Use faith and grow it!

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
