Building Your Faith by Ernest Angley August 2013 Read Testimonies from this issue Font Size Font Size Order a printed copy Topics: Faith As a child of God, you need to continually build your faith because you will never receive all of the faith that the Lord wants to give you. There are steps you can take to build your faith, and you must learn some of these steps. This message can help you to receive any miracle, healing or help you need, spiritually, physically and financially, saith the Lord. What is faith? It is accepting everything that God has said and expecting Him to do what He has promised. Faith is so simple that most people stumble over it. Jesus brought all of divinity for us so we don’t have to struggle with doubt and unbelief, but the devil wants to make us think that we do. He torments so many people with doubt, fear and frustration; but I don’t let him tantalize me because the Bible says he is a liar. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44). Why would you ever believe a liar? I have heard people say, “I am never going to believe that person again!” Well, I wish you would wake up and think that way about the devil. Faith is a gift from God. You can’t merit the faith of God or work for it; it is a gift just like salvation is, and faith and salvation go hand in hand. You can’t have salvation without faith, and you can’t have the real faith of God without salvation. God offers a measure of faith to everyone who will accept it; it will cost you nothing, and you can have that measure of faith. God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). When Jesus came, He was given faith without measure; but we are not offered that until we receive the Upper Room experience. Only after you have received the Holy Ghost baptism are you offered all the divinity that Jesus brought. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him (John 3:34). You have to accept the Holy Ghost baptism of power or you will never be able to use all the divinity He brought, saith the Lord. The divinity that Jesus brought includes divine faith. The Lord Called Gideon Before I go into the steps to building your faith, I first want to take you to a wonderful story in the Bible of building faith—the story of Gideon. You can learn so many lessons from that story. Gideon had lived good before God, but he felt forsaken. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house. And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man (Judges 6:12–16). The Lord let Gideon know that he was greatly blessed and highly favored by Heaven; but Gideon said, “If we are favored, where are the miracles?” The enemy who had Gideon and his people surrounded had made them slaves for a number of years, but the angel told Gideon that God would use him to deliver his people. Then Gideon asked, “How can that be? My father’s house is poor and small.” In other words, “I am just a nobody; how can I deliver the people?” Gideon was very humble just like Saul had been when he became the first king of Israel; but Saul didn’t keep that humility, and Gideon did. Gideon’s Fleeces Gideon was a man of God, and he always wanted God’s will; so he put out two fleeces before the Lord regarding what he had been told. And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground (Judges 6:36–40). I believe in using fleeces; but when you put one out, you have to consecrate yourself to that fleece. Some people only put out a fleece one way, but you should put them out two ways like Gideon did; and God answered both of Gideon’s fleeces. God knew that what was coming would be an awful ordeal for Gideon; but He also knew that Gideon was for real, and the Lord is patient with His children who are for real. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). God never gets impatient when you wait on Him; the trouble comes when you don’t wait on Him or do what He tells you to do. Some of you will put out a fleece, but you don’t follow God’s answer. Then you will put out another fleece and another fleece until God doesn’t answer them anymore, and you will go ahead and do what you want to do; but that won’t work. If you are like that, then don’t put out a fleece because God isn’t going to bother with you. You have to mean business with God in whatever you do. That is why the Bible says, Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). The Lord wants us to know His will for our lives just as He wanted Gideon to know His will for him. God Proved the Soldiers After Gideon’s fleeces were answered, he was ready for God to show him how He would use him to deliver the people. Gideon gathered the 32,000 soldiers together; and as he looked at them, he began to feel confident and thought, “I probably can win with these soldiers; the Lord said so.” But Gideon didn’t know how full of fear 22,000 of them were; and because the Lord does not give fear, they were not anointed. They were not being blessed, and they were the cause of there being no miracles. They had tied the hands of the God of miracles, and He couldn’t do anything for them. The dead preachers and dead churches of today need to be asked, “Where are the miracles?” They tie God’s hands every time they gather together because they don’t want the liberty of the Holy Ghost, so the Spirit of God is not there. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (II Corinthians 3:17). That is why people find so much liberty at Grace Cathedral; the Spirit of God is in every service. He is in the homes of true children of God, and He is with us wherever we go. We are ready to take our flight to Heaven, except for getting in the harvest; and we are working hard to bring in the lost. And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand (Judges 7:2,3). Think about it; 22,000 of his soldiers turned back. Poor Gideon! When I study him, I feel sorry for him; but I also admire him. And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place (Judges 7:4–7). The Lord separated the soldiers because those who had lapped the water like a dog were not watching for the enemy. While they were all sprawled out on the ground, the enemy could have come and cut off their heads. The 300 who dipped up the water were thirsty, too, but they were watching. The Gospel Trumpet And he [Gideon] divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man’s hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do. When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon (Judges 7:16–18). There were only 300 men out of 32,000 left; and each man had an earthen vessel with a lighted candle inside and a trumpet. Those 300 were fit and ready, and they would have made the Rapture if it had taken place at that time. When Gideon finally went forth, he did exactly what the Lord had told him to. Just as the Lord spoke to Gideon, He spoke to me one Sunday morning and said, “You have your 300; go forth!” And He keeps telling me to go forth. The coming of the Lord is close at hand, Children, and we must obey the Lord. We have the Gospel trumpet and the divine light, and we must go forth to defeat the enemy. We have to blow that Gospel trumpet all over the world. That Gospel goes forth and wins souls even while we sleep. How?—through this ministry’s books, magazines, television programs and website. You have to be able to blow the Gospel trumpet in order to win souls in this final hour, and nothing but the true Gospel will do. When people sound their false trumpets, they have no effect. You need to stay away from people like that, and you should always feel justified when you obey God. The Lord let Gideon know that His Word was right. Then when Gideon and his men blew their trumpets loud and clear and burst their vessels of clay, God moved. So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon (Judges 7:19,20). Let Your Light Shine We must be God’s vessels of clay, and the light of the Spirit must be inside of us. If you are born new, you have the light of the Gospel inside of you; and the Lord smashes you every once in a while to let that light shine. We are in the divine Potter’s house, not because God doesn’t love us but because He wants us to let our light shine. When the divine light shined, the Bible says, The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up (Matthew 4:16). And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man’s sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath. And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites (Judges 7:21–23). The enemy soldiers were so scared that they ran over each other and fought and killed one another, and over 100,000 of them were slain. There fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword (Judges 8:10). All the men had to do was blow a trumpet and hold a light, and then they watched God in action. If you are going to be a light to the world in this last hour, you will have to be careful with your light and let it shine. The light shined for Gideon and his men, and they won! Throughout all of this, Gideon’s faith was building higher and higher because he knew that the God of miracles really lived. That same God still lives today, so we can believe in miracles because we believe in God. Human faith is not enough, and it won’t give you the answers you need from God. Divine faith is what you need, and then you can have the divine will of God. Jesus called human faith “little faith.” Study what He said in the following scriptures: Matthew 6:30, 8:26, 14:31, 16:8, and Luke 12:28. But when Jesus said, Great is thy faith (Matthew 15:28), He was always referring to divine faith. Live in God’s Divine Will The first step in building your faith is to want the will of God with all of your heart; that is the only way to walk in faith. Faith in God always keeps you in the will of God, and you cannot detour to the left or to the right. You must move ever onward in the faith and in the will of God; but if you don’t want the will of God for your life, you are not going to build your faith. The Bible says, The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). That also means that the just shall live by the divine will of God, and that will bring you real life. Jesus brought the divine will of God when He came, and it was the new and living way. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh (Hebrews 10:20). Man’s faith is very weak, and that is why Jesus brought divine faith. Don’t depend on your human faith because it won’t stand the test. Jesus didn’t use human faith when He was here; He used divine faith. He walked the waters and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost because of divine faith. He showed us how to do everything, and He always worked through divine faith. Man as a whole has not lived by faith, but we must now walk by faith and live by faith. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). Some of you let the devil cheat you and defeat you by making you believe you don’t have much faith; but the Lord said, 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). A mustard seed is about the smallest seed you can find, so that means all things are possible. Jesus said, Only believe (Mark 5:36). You will never do much with your measure of faith unless you want God’s will. Many people deceive their own hearts by thinking they want the will of God; and they do as long as it suits their life, and it is what they want. However, when God’s will goes against everything they want and they have to turn their back on those things, then they no longer want God’s will. I started out walking in the divine will of God, and I am still walking in it today. That is why the Lord has blessed this ministry in such a great way. He planned for it to operate in His divine will, and all of our steps are ordered by the Lord. God’s Will Brings Good I let God lead me in His divine will, and that is what you must do because He cannot lead you unless you are in His will. The Lord will not lead you in His permissible will; and on that road, all things will not work for your good. You will be disappointed and heartbroken many times; and you will ask, “Why, God?” You don’t have to ask Him why because if you don’t walk in His faith, build the faith the Lord has given you and take step after step in His divine will, then all things will not work for your good. Many things will even work against your good, but the Lord cannot help you with those things when you are not in His divine will. When you are in the divine will of God, you will walk the paths He wants you to walk and not detour. No matter how bad things may look or how great the calamity is around you, the Lord has promised that it will all be for your good. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). God has made many promises in the New Testament, and every one is given in His divine will; but His promises are not for you if your life is out of the divine will of God in any way. You may sing, “Every promise in the Book is mine”; but that is not really true if you have not met the conditions of those promises. The first condition you have to meet is whether or not you are in the divine will of God, and you must make sure that you are in that will every day and night you have left. You will not go anywhere with God unless you walk His divine paths; but when you do walk those paths, the Lord will look out for you. He will clothe you with His promises; and through the Holy Spirit, He will deliver the things you need and make your paths plain. The reason some of you don’t know your way is because you don’t want the will of God; you are too blinded by what you want. It is so easy to have God’s will, and it is as plain as daylight when you want it; but if you just think you want it, it will bring you dark days, and you will not see your way. You need to face God’s Word and decide if you really want His will, and if you really want to build and increase your faith. The reason God will do so much for the bridal company in this final hour is because each member will be in the divine will of God just like those in the Early Church were. In God’s divine will, we will all take our places in the body of Christ and never be jealous of one another. We will hold each other up in great respect and in the great love of Jesus, and we will go forth to get God’s work done knowing His will for our lives…and you can find His will. You must learn what Calvary provided for you. It brought great joy, happiness and peace; but so many people don’t have those things because they are not in the divine will of God, and most anything can get them down. When you are in the divine will of God, you hold on to God’s promises and hug them to you; and neither devil nor man can take those promises from you. They mean the Jesus life and the Jesus way to you, and it is wonderful to build on that kind of faith. Use the Word When ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe (I Thessalonians 2:13). How does the Word work?—with faith. And they [the saints of God] overcame him [the devil] by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony [the Word of God that they put into their testimony] (Revelation 12:11). The blood of Jesus and the Word made them overcomers. You cannot separate the Word of God from divine blood. The Word of God has all the life in it that you need, and it is spoken through the divine will of God. Holy men of old wrote the Bible in the divine will of God, not in the spirit of their own will. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Peter 1:21). Every promise was given through the divine will of God, not the permissible will; and through that divine will is the only way the Word is to be taught and preached. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20–22). The Word is health to the flesh. If you want healing today, faith in God heals the sick; and if you don’t have enough of that faith, you can have more of it. Use the gift of faith you have and start building on it. Listen to what God is saying and read His promises. The Bible gives seven redemptive names for God; and one of them is, I am the LORD that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26). Faith Brings Healing If you are worried about your faith today and feel left out in what you are receiving from God, it is because you are not building your faith. You are not building on the true foundation of God’s promises which say that He is ready to increase your faith just like He is ready to increase His peace, His joy and His love in your heart and in your life. Through deep–rooted faith, we can see the power of the Cross. What a foundation of faith the Lord made for us on Calvary, a foundation to build on. The Son of God who was born of the Virgin Mary with divine blood in His veins poured that blood out on Calvary’s hill for you and me. What great faith we should put in Jesus hanging on the Cross. Moses put faith in a serpent of brass that the Lord had told him to hang on a tree; it was a type of Christ hanging on the Cross for us. The Israelites had been bitten by fiery serpents because of their disobedience, and Moses had cried to God not to let any more of them die. And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived (Numbers 21:8,9). Everyone who looked and kept on looking at the serpent of brass was healed; but today, people won’t look at Jesus or keep on looking at Him. They may look for a moment, but then they turn away and talk discouragement saying, “I don’t know why I didn’t get healed.” The reason is because they didn’t keep looking or keep an obedient spirit, and they did not do what the Lord had told them to do. They didn’t yield to the divine will of God when it is His divine will to heal them. Nowhere in the Bible will you find that it is God’s will for you to be sick and afflicted. God wants His children to be well, and it is His will for you to be well; but you let people and the devil talk you out of the very blessings of God that you need and are entitled to. How pathetic! Live Free from Sin Another step in building faith is to make sure you are right with God. There is no need to pretend you are because God knows your heart. Calvary made it possible for sinful men, women, boys and girls to be made new and have the same heartbeat as God the Father. God knows if your heartbeat is the same as His. When God made man and woman in Eden, He gave them His same heartbeat; and their hearts were always beating in rhythm with His…until they sinned. Since Calvary, your heart can beat in rhythm with the heart of God once more if you have Jesus in your life and are really living free from all sin. When your heart beats in harmony with His, you will know that you are in the divine will of the Lord. To be made new and live in God’s will, you must believe the whole Bible and reject none of it. When your life measures up to the Word and you know in whom you have believed, you will know you have that blessed born–again experience. You will know that you are a new creature and that the old you is dead and buried. You will have a new life, the new and living way; and you are living it in God’s divine will with the divine blessings and promises of God for soul, mind and body. Why don’t you take your place with God? The only way you can do that is to take your place in God’s divine faith and then stand. If you don’t take it in the faith of God, you will not take it, saith the Lord. As you grow in faith, you can stand just as tall as Jesus stood when He was here on Earth; and you can be a wonderful son or daughter of God just like He was. So again, you must be sure that your heart is right and that you are living free from all sin or you will not be in God’s will. The Word says it is against God’s will for anybody to commit sin. The soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:4). If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me (Psalm 66:18). There is death, death, death in sin; but there is life, life, life in the will of God. A Foundation of Faith You must have a true foundation of faith, and the Bible declares that Jesus Christ is our foundation and our faith. For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 3:11). You have to get all the sand of doubt and disobedience out of the way, and dig down to the true foundation. Then you can build on that foundation of faith in the divine will of God, but the foundation has to be the divine will of God or you cannot build on it. You may think you are, but you are not. The storms of life will come, but you don’t have to worry because a true foundation in Jesus Christ can never be destroyed. When you are built on Him, you are rooted and grounded in truth; and you are growing in faith. We must always keep increasing in our faith and in the knowledge of the truth; and faith comes with the truth, the Word of God. So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Faith comes by hearing what God says, not what people say; and that is the way you build faith. You have to depend on the Word for your faith. It is your Book of true faith and not your book of doubt if you are living holy. The Bible tells us that we must have the true faith of God, and it can’t be wavering faith. Human faith wavers, and the devil’s faith wavers; but God’s faith never wavers. Abraham had God’s faith, and he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform (Romans 4:20,21). God had promised Abraham a son in his old age, and that promise was very far–fetched; but Abraham staggered not. That is what divine faith will do for you—it will take all the staggering out of you so you can stand rooted and grounded in God’s love on the true foundation of faith. You will not waver by doubting one moment and seeking to believe the next, and you will not carry despair. With the right kind of faith, despair is not your birthright. Take the Faith Steps Take these steps of building your faith one–by–one with the Lord. The Holy Spirit will teach them to you, and your eyes will be opened more and more to the grace of God. Go step–by–step into the will of God, into claiming the promises of God and into ever increasing your knowledge in the Word of God. Those things will take you deeper and deeper with God, and you will be building your faith all the time. Then that faith will take you closer and closer to Heaven and make you sit in heavenly places with the Lord. All of this may be a new language to you; so study it, and the Lord will help you. You will find out that He is a God of faith. You reach God when you pray through divine faith, and faith in God heals the sick and saves souls. Faith in God made a Calvary, and faith in God keeps that Calvary of power and deliverance ever before us. Thank God for His greatness. Know what God has said in His Word and cling to it. Know the promises of God and hold onto them, and don’t worry about what people say. When others criticize God, just keep out of it and go on your way as if they had never said anything. One little breath, one little thread of life, is between them and eternity; and God can cut them off at any time. They can be alive one moment and dead the next, but our God is alive forevermore. God speaks through faith; and He said, I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass (Ezekiel 12:25). We can depend on that kind of faith. God created the universe through faith. He spoke it into existence and hung it upon nothing through faith. He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing (Job 26:7). It is so simple to believe God when you use His faith; but when you mix it with human faith, it is hard to believe Him. Then people become discouraged, but God never mixes any discouragement with His faith; divine faith is pure. You will never find anything purer than the faith of God; it isn’t contaminated with anything, and it is clothed in love. The faith the Lord gives us is freely given, so there should be no lack of faith in our lives. We should have faith to believe God for anything He has promised. He never made promises without offering us the faith to go with them; so there is faith for every promise in the Bible. Do you claim that faith? Do you believe the Lord for that faith? Jesus came saying, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). If you don’t believe, you are in trouble; and the Bible won’t work for you. If you don’t believe, there is no Heaven for you. Surrender to God’s Will It is time for us to open our eyes and decide that we have all the promises of God. The Lord has every measure of faith we need to go with each promise, and He will give us those measures if we really want them and seek for them. But always remember this: If we want what God has promised, we must want it His way. Who are we to tell God what we want or to contend with the Almighty? What is man, that thou art mindful of him (Hebrews 2:6)? Man should never stand up to his God and say, “God, you are wrong about what is best for me. I know what will fit my life better, and that is what I want.” The things God says are the things that are best for our lives, and you must always believe that. If you don’t, you will have to learn it the hard way; and it will be one of the hardest lessons you will ever have to learn. You will realize that you are in great trouble because you will not accept God’s will for your life. Those who choose their own way of life will end up in great sorrow, great darkness, great fear and great heartache. If you don’t live by faith, you will not have the right walk with the Lord; and you will not have the light of Heaven. Learn to take each step of faith and never a step of doubt. Steps of doubt will take you backward and away from God. They breed despair, fear, frustration, oppression and depression all because of the lack of faith or failing to use it. It doesn’t matter how much faith the Lord gives you; if you do not use that faith, you will not travel with the Lord. You can only travel by faith, not by feelings. The saints mentioned in Hebrews 11 traveled with the Lord by faith; that is why their names are in that chapter. They lived by faith, and every work they did was through the faith of God; therefore, they were also in the divine will of God. Until your life is made up of the faith of God and you have surrendered to that faith, you have not surrendered to the will of God. In fact, you are rejecting His divine will; so you are taking full responsibility for your life and for how and when you die. Don’t Die without God The Lord takes full responsibility for you when you walk in His divine will, make every step a faith step and never go by your feelings. When you are in the will of God, you will die at the moment God wills for you to die; but when you are not in His divine will, you are subject to die at any time. You are on your own; and with as much darkness as you find on Earth today, it is dangerous to be without the faith of God and to walk in the night because there are too many pitfalls. You must have the light of God’s faith to light up your paths; but if you don’t have that faith and use it, you will have no light. God’s faith will light up your way to do His work, to believe God for more and more of what you need and to receive more of the faith of God. If you are unsaved, come to Jesus today. If you have never been taught the Word, I am teaching it to you now; and you can have a measure of faith to find Calvary for your sins and to believe that you can be made a new creation in Christ Jesus. Lift your hands right now and say this prayer: Oh, God, I put my faith in the blood of Jesus. I believe Jesus died for me, and I will live for Him. I know His Word is true, and I give my life to the blood and the faith of Jesus today. I believe that the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in! If you meant that prayer, now you can say, Hallelujah! He has come. Hallelujah! Jesus is mine. Now, you must go on to receive the Holy Ghost because you must have Him to make it to Rapture ground. You will never get there in time for the one flight out without the Holy Ghost, and that has been stressed through the Spirit of the living God and by the Holy Ghost Himself. To be left will be awful; but the Bible says, I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth (Revelation 3:15,16). He will do that, and He has already done it to so many. Have Faith for Your Miracle When you build your faith, it increases the abundance of God’s blessings in your life. You may be crippled or have a deadly disease that there is no hope for through medical science; but God’s faith will tell you that faith in God heals any sickness, any disease and any affliction. The faith of God has all the strength, power and greatness that you need. It has the divine blood in it, and you can’t separate divine faith from the divine blood. You will find everything you need in the divine blood through the faith of God. Faith talks, but it never talks about doubt or weakness; it talks about strength, and it is always God–talk. You who are sick and afflicted, I come with God’s powerful gifts and with the power of the Holy Ghost. God has sent me to set the captives free, and it is through His faith that it is done. You can have a measure of faith for your healing today; and you can be healed of AIDS, TB, paralysis, leprosy, cancer or any other deadly disease. Faith in God will do it because it has all the power of Heaven in it. Are you ready for your miracle? Lord, here they are. Some are in a dying condition with AIDS. Maybe the whole family is afflicted with that deadly disease, but you are healing whole families through this Jesus ministry. I come to set the captives free. In the name of Jesus, I inject miracle power into the diseased bodies of the people, calling for life through the blood of Jesus. Heal! in the blood–name of Jesus. Heal! in the almighty, blood–name of the Lord. God’s healing power is flowing into your bodies to drive out your diseases and to conquer your afflictions. Life is flowing, so get well. Write and tell me what happened to you today, and I will rejoice with you. God bless.
