Walk by Faith Read

1 Corinthians 2:9–12.
In this passage, Paul quotes from the prophet Isaiah. His intention is to show that the relationship we have with God through Christ is not something that can be appreciated with the natural senses. Not the eye, not the ear, nor even the heart can perceive the things which God has prepared for us.
These are simple lessons most believers learn early in their walk with Christ. However, though we may have learned the lessons long ago, today’s dynamic faith life requires a review of those basic faith principles. Why? Because every promise we seek to apprehend will involve the test of our faith, and what Paul calls “the good
fight of faith” (1 Timothy 6:12). Our faith will become strong only as we learn to trust His Word, walking beyond emotions—living and responding to circumstances by what we know to be true because of His Word, not by what we feel, see, or think on a natural plane. Amen

Continue in Faith

Read Romans 10:6–10
In this passage is found the most foundational lesson in the importance and power of faith’s confession. The principle is established at the very beginning of our life in Christ. Just as salvation (God’s righteous working in our behalf) is appropriated by heart belief and spoken confession, so His continuing work in our lives is advanced by the same means. Our oral confession of faith declares, confirms, and seals belief in our hearts.
Thus the parallel between “saving” faith and “power” faith is seen in its dependence upon the Word of the gospel.
Read 2 Corinthians 4:13–14

Experience the Miraculous

If we belong to the Lord, we have all experienced the miraculous in our lives— saving faith is miraculous . Our salvation isn’t a miracle because we were especially evil before accepting Christ. We may or may not have been evil in the sense of being dedicated to the reprobate, depraved, or the terrible. But still, we were lost—without hope (Ephesians 2:12). Nothing we could do by any demonstration of human thought, strength, wisdom, or goodness in actions could rescue us.
Quite literally, every area of your life is presently intended to experience the initiating, drawing, winning, persuading work of God through His Word and His Spirit. Miraculously, He is provoking us toward faith for ourselves, our marriage, our children, our business—every area of life. Amen
Read Ephesians 2:8–9

Faith Is In Christ Romans

10:8–9 The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Saving faith is faith in God through the person of Jesus Christ. The focus of saving faith is always toward Jesus personally, not toward Jesus as a mere idea. In other words, the moment our study of God’s Word becomes separated from Jesus Himself, it becomes only an academic pursuit without the power of the Spirit teaching us and glorifying Jesus in us through the Word. However true the Scriptures are, and however wonderful their wisdom is, the life of the Scriptures is linked to Christ. We dare not separate the Word from the Person.

Overcome Temptation

Read 1 Peter 2:11–17.
Peter writes to us as “pilgrims” of faith and encourages us to arm ourselves in our minds for the fight against sin. Though this passage is also connected to persecution, Peter’s admonition deals most directly with the suffering we face essentially because we have chosen to live differently than we did before we came to Christ.
In this passage, Peter addresses the suffering we will face in dealing with our fallen human nature. It comes in two forms: interior and exterior. Times of temptation will come to us just as surely as the Enemy came to our Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 4:1–13). But even when we don’t experience any external stimulus toward sin, we all still have a fallen nature that can taunt us—a “self-life” that is completely capable of assailing us, and at times even sounding just like the tempter! Amen

Endure and Persevere

Read 2 Timothy 3:10–12

• I endured them! This is not the tone of a victim. Paul is not lamenting. He is being honest with the facts of persecution. He has not surrendered to the feelings of persecution! He drew on God’s grace and prevailed!
• The Lord delivered me from every one of them! Paul’s experience is a model for us. For every believer who encounters persecution themessage is clear—if you suffer persecution for your faith and godly living, Jesus Himself will deliver you! Amen

Supernatural Faith

Freed from Fear

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Far too often, what we perceive as faith is actually motivated by fear. In more instances than we care to admit, we pursue powerful faith because we are afraid—afraid to be sick, afraid to be poor, afraid to be sad, afraid of disease. Fear can be a powerful motivator. But if we want to operate in real, power faith, we must own up to the fact that the Lord isn’t the source of the spirit of fear. Amen

Expect Greater Things

A vital key to walking in the pathway of God’s miracles is to stay available to the implications of Jesus’ words: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” (John 14:12–14)
Miracles are released and received by faith. They are useful for the presentation of the gospel. A miracle may solve a human dilemma or mend a human condition. Whenever a miracle occurs, all praise and honor should be given to the Lord who performed it.
Amen

Have a wonderfully blessed and favored weekend, keep us in prayer as we go to minister's conference this weekend and all those minister's traveling  in to the conference  may it be a time of refreshing in the Lord and be blessed by His Word Amen.

And Signs Will Follow

The New Testament miracles are essentially expressions of God’s salvation and glory. Wherever Jesus went, the miraculous followed. Why did Jesus perform miracles? Jesus answered this question Himself. He declared His miracles were the fulfillment of the promises of the Messiah’s kingdom as foretold by Isaiah. Jesus’ miracles were signs of the presence of the kingdom of God.
Jesus did not work miracles to prove His deity or His messiahship. In fact, He clearly refused to work miracles as proofs (Matthew 12:38– 42; Luke 11:29–32).The lists of the gifts of the Spirit in the New Testament show miracles were one of the means by which believers ministered to others (Romans 12:6–8; 1 Corinthians 12:8–10, 28–30; Ephesians 4:11–12). This is sufficient evidence to verify that the working of miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit and to the glory of Jesus Christ is still intended in the church today and available for ministry through any believer the Spirit may choose to use. Amen

To The Glory of God

As faith develops, it accesses the grace of God for the miraculous. Yet whenever the miraculous is released, even though mankind benefits, it is always for God’s glory Human nature inevitably worshipsthe human agent through whom God’s miracles might flow, and praises the one God uses to work a miracle, as well as the miracle itself, or artifacts associated with the miracle. The ancient church has venerated objects associated with past miracles, supposing that there is some efficacy in the object. This human tendency has a history, even in the Bible. Be very aware of our worship, knowing this truth about worship as it relates to objects or rituals we want to understand  and not fall into a trap. Amen

Only Believe

Mark 16:17–18 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. In the gospel of John, we learn that, on the night He was betrayed, Jesus promised to continue the ministry of the miraculous through the disciples: “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than
these he will do, because I go to My Father.” In both cases, the continuation of the miraculous is based on the condition of believing. Amen

Proverbs 3

Intimacy  and Spiritual Breakthrough
Faith's Warfare

2 words  stick out in this chapter,  "ways and acknowledge."
1) ways, a road or course.
2) acknowledge,  know or to know by.

First: ways, it suggests  opportunities   that a person  may  encounter  on a daily basis.
Second: acknowledge,  this refers to life-giving intimacy,  as in marriage.  Applied to a spiritual context, it suggests an intimacy with God in prayer that conceives  and birth blessings and victories.  God promises to guide our paths to life betting endeavors.  Amen

In His Steps

There is no greater stimulus for us to gain faith for healing than the ministry of Jesus. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
Jesus' ministry of healing the sick and the oppressed of the devil while He was  on this earth, He does through His church today, and He does through His Word forever. Amen

Proverbs 1

The Beginning of Knowledge

In Proverbs  1:1-7 Solomon King of Israel  uses words like, to know, to receive,  to perceive, to give, to understand,  to fear. This is the beginning of knowing,  King Solomon give a stern warning of the foolish paths of life.

Shun Evil Counsel

V. 8-19
We hear words like, hear the instructions and do not forsake.  These warnings  are very clear on which we are to listen not to these person's.

The Call of Wisdom

V. 20-33
Wisdom calls aloud outside. Using a females  voice the writer calls in a voice that is soft and inviting the opposite of a male voice that maybe  harsh and rough. God is giving His final warning  and consequences for not taking  heed to His gentle  call.
