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!

The Power In The Name

"There is none like God...who rides through Heaven to your help, through the skies in His majesty" - Deuteronomy 33:26  Many of us expect an answer when we pray - immediately. We try to control God  thinking we know best, when God does. But if the Holy Spirit lives in us, patience live in us too, because it is of the Spirit (Gal  5:22 ). We have everything we ever need or ever will need - the only thing you have to do is activate it. The power in the name of Jesus, as soon as you activate it, is ready and available to use. Anyone can say Jesus, but they can't use its power because it's either:  A) not given to them or  B) they don't believe.  What can I do to activate the power?  To activate this power, you need faith and full relying on God. No matter what, even in temptation. You see, a Christian's life is one with more temptation. But that's good - because:  A) We overcome them all!  B) It's when we show and display J...

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...

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!
