EVERYTHING WE HAVE WE RECEIVE BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
EVERYTHING WE HAVE WE RECEIVE BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
Authority of Believers
Authority of Believers
WHAT WE BELIEVE IS HOW WE ACT!
IF WE BELIEVE GOD PROVIDES WE DON’T WORRY ABOUT TITHING
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE GOD DOESN’T NEED OUR MONEY, BUT HE DOES DESIRE OUT HEARTS
IF WE BELIEVE GOD CARES FOR USE AND BLESSES US
WE HAVE NO PROBLEM SOWING AND GIVING OFFERINGS,
BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT GOD ISN’T TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FROM US, BUT IS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING TO US
Now the one who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will also provide and multiply your seed and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over—will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES OF FAITH IN OUR LIVES
OBEDIENCE IN A DIRECT ACTION OF FAITH
WE OBEY BECAUSE WE BELIEVE GOD
GOD IS GOOD
GOD IS MY HEAVENLY FATHER
MY FATHER PROVIDES
MY FATHER BLESSES THE RIGHTEOUS
MY FATHER UPHOLDS
MY FATHER RESTORES
MY FATHER HAS PLANS
MY FATHER HAS GIFTS
MY FATHER HEALS
FAITH IS ASSURANCE!
FAITH IS ASSURANCE!
Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.
FAITH IS THE REALITY BY WHICH WE LIVE!
OH YOU SAY WE ARE HEADED TOWARD DISASTER “MY GOD SHALL SUPPLY ALL MY NEEDS”
And God is able to make every grace overflow to you, so that in every way, always having everything you need, you may excel in every good work.
OH YOU SAY THAT OUR POLITICIANS ARE UNGODLY AND AND THE LAND IS GROWING EVIL
MY GOD SITS ON THE THRONE AND LAUGHS
For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.’
“HALLELUJAH THIS IS MY GOD! THIS IS MY FATHER!”
Exodus 14:13–14 (CSB)
But Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and see the Lord’s salvation that he will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you must be quiet.”
ALL THIS IS GIVEN BY GRACE AND RECEIVED THROUGH FAITH!
ALL THIS IS GIVEN BY GRACE AND RECEIVED THROUGH FAITH!
SALVATION- WE CONFESS AND WE BELIEVE
FINANCIAL BLESSING- WE SOW AND EXPECT A HARVEST
WE THITHE TO REMAIN IN COVENANT
WE PROCLAIM AND EXPECT FAITH TO ARISE
WE PRAY AND EXPECT RESPONSE
HEALING
MIRACLES
His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
THROUGH FAITH WE HAVE THE VICTORY AND AUTHORITY
THROUGH FAITH WE HAVE THE VICTORY AND AUTHORITY
Do not be conquered by evil, but conquer evil with good.
We are the conquerors - If we weren’t God would expect us to be!
It is a command those in Christ
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Jesus gave us the victory
1 John 4:3–4 (CSB)
but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming; even now it is already in the world.
You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
Jesus is Greater
When Adam sinned He turned the keys of to Satan- He was called to have dominion over the land- Sin gave satan the reign over the land
that is why we see so much evil in this world
And you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you previously walked according to the ways of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit now working in the disobedient. We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also. But God, who is rich in mercy, because of his great love that he had for us,
We are more then Conquerors through the one who has loved us
JESUS TOOK THE KEYS BACK AND GAVE THEM TO THE CHURCH- His followers
The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like lightning. Look, I have given you the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy; nothing at all will harm you. However, don’t rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
“I HAVE GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY”
Joshua was given the authority to Go and take the land by faith
Believing in the word of God
Elijah Conquers BAAL
Elijah Conquers BAAL
You would think the if a man is going up against a god, that the man does stand much of a chance
BUT ELIJAH CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD “THE GOD WHO ANSWERS BY FIRE”- ELIJAH KNOWS THE GOD HE SERVES
ELIJAH KNEW THE AUTHORITY HE HAD BECAUSE HE KNEW THE GOD HE SERVED!
Finally, be strengthened by the Lord and by his vast strength. Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil.
WHEN YOU ARE IN COVENANT WITH GODN YOU KNWO THAT BECAUSE OF HIS POWER YOU HAVE AUTHORITY
There were probably some there who believed that God was real and that He was one of just many ways,
ELIJAH SAYS “HOW LONG WILL YOU LIMP BACK AND FORTH”
THEY WERE IN THE SITUATION THEY WERE IN BECAUSE THEY SAW THE LORD YAHWEH AS JUST ANOTHER WAY
And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” And the people did not answer him a word.
WHEN WE ARE TOSSED AROUND WE END UP LIKE THESE PEOPLE:
STUCK
OPRESSED
DEPRESSED
AXIETY FILLED
OVERWHELMED BY FEAR
STUCK IN ADDICTION
BROKEN
BUT GOD IS A COVENANT KEEPING GOD WITH THOSE WHO ARE RIGHTEOUS.
PART OF THE COVENANT IS REPENTANCE THE CHANCE TO CHANGE “
“When all these things happen to you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you come to your senses while you are in all the nations where the Lord your God has driven you, and you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and all your soul by doing everything I am commanding you today, then he will restore your fortunes, have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.
ENTER THE COVENANT OF GOD!
ENTER THE COVENANT OF GOD!
He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
YOU CAN BE RIGHTEOUS TODAY BECAUSE OF JESUS CHRIST
HE LIVED THE LIFE WE COULDN’T LIVE, AND DIED THE DEATH THAT WAS THE RESULT OF SIN WHY?
For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
GOD LOVES YOU
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles by Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promised Spirit through faith.
HE RESTORES OUR FURTUNE
Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Our testimony- Faith has led us to this moment and faith will lead us to the promise of God
“Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
WE have built this house on the Rock!
