Use Your Faith · Thursday, August 22nd Pastor Chris …Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20). Pastor Chris The Word of God is real and true, but that doesn’t mean the experiences of your life will automatically line up with it. You’re the one to make them so. This is the fight of faith the Apostle Paul talked about in 1 Timothy 6:12: "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." You’re the one to appropriate all that Christ has accomplished on your behalf in spite of everything your physical senses may otherwise perceive. You’re the one to subdue the circumstances around you, the forces or the symptoms that attack you, and effect the change! There’re those who say, "I believe the Word, but why are things not working out right for me?" It’s like someone who’s hoping that God will set him free someday; that’s not going to work, even though he believes it, because that’s not faith. "Believing" the Word is not enough; your believing must translate to faith. Faith declares the Word to be real and true NOW, and acts accordingly. The contrary circumstances will not change by themselves, or change because you believe. Romans 10:10 says, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness…." Believing sets your heart right with God; it makes your heart acceptable to Him; that’s the reason you know in your heart that God loves and accepts you, but that’ll not change the circumstances of your life. For your situation to change or to maintain a life of continuous progress and triumph, it’s got to be by your faith. Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is calling real that which you’ve hoped for; you count it done now! It’s like the title-deed to a property. You don’t have to be in the property to know it’s yours; faith is the title deed. Take a hold of God’s Word and affirm your healing and health, prosperity, success, and victory in Christ Jesus! The second part of Romans 10:10 says, "…with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Confession My faith is the victory that overcomes the world; nothing is impossible unto me! I live victoriously today because I live in, and by, the Word; I’ve taken hold of my victorious life in Christ Jesus, basking gloriously in health, peace, prosperity, success, and abundance, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: Hebrews 11:1; 2 Timothy 4:7-8; Mark 11:24 Daily Scripture Reading 1 Year Reading Plan : 1 Corinthians 7, Psalms 119:113-176 2 Year Reading Plan : Luke 18:9-17, 1 Samuel 9
