Bible Promises turned to Prophecy. Faith is not working up by human will power a sort of certainty that something is coming to pass, but it is seeing as an actual fact that God has said that this thing shall come to pass, and that it is true, and then rejoicing to know that it is true, and just resting in it, because God has said it. That last part is where our Faith rests! We can be sure that it is, BECAUSE God said it in His Word. And once we are Born Again Believers, saved by Gods Grace through Faith alone, we know that we know that we know, that Gods Word is ALWAYS TRUE. It was True in the Past, It is True each day and It will be True in the Future. Titus 1:1-4 Paul, a bond-servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of those chosen of God (Born Again Believers) and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, 2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised long ages ago, 3 but at the proper time manifested (made known), even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior, 4 To Titus, my true child in a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior. Faith turns Gods promises into our prophecy. Prophecy is the foretelling of Gods Word. When Our faith claims a promise, then it becomes a prophecy, and we go forth feeling that it is something that must be done because God cannot lie. I hear people often praying everywhere for more faith, but when I listen to them carefully, and get at the real heart of their prayers, very often it is not more faith at all that they are wanting, but a change from Faith to Sight. Faith says, God allowed this to come into my life, so it must be what is Best for me...So how can we increase our Faith? The Bible tells us this: Romans 10:8-17 But what does it say? THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, in your mouth and in your heart -that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe (by faith) in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED. 14 How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS! 16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. So we see that Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing by the Word of God. So to summarize it--FAITH Comes by Hearing the Word of God and also FAITH is strengthened by proclaiming the Word of God. So we can turn the promises of the Bible into PROPHECY, by our Faith, because Faith comes from the Word of God. **** 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, tells you the Pure Gospel of Gods Grace for Your Salvation **** https://youtube/watch?v=RqckfTsNx50
