Faith Cometh

 

Faith Cometh

Dear Partners, Family & Friends, 

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. - Romans 10:17

The Word says, "faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God", notice the word is 'hearing', it's not 'heard'. There is a scripture (in 2 Peter 1:12) that says, though you know certain truths, you need to be established in these truths.

We can't just hear the word once! To live a strong Christian life out of the spirit man, we need to feed our spirit-man daily. In the natural, to have a well-functioning body we need to feed our physical person good nutritious food, in the right quantities. 

I believe it was Smith Wigglesworth who said that God said to him, "My people feed their body 3 square meals a day and their spirit 1 quick snack a week. Then they wonder why the Word is not working for them." 

God gave me a saying once, and it went like this, "The Word works, when you work the Word". This thought goes along with our previous blog study, that faith without corresponding actions is dead. James said in the Bible "you say you have faith, you do well. I by my works or corresponding actions prove I have faith." (James 2:18-24)

So, let's unpack these thoughts a little bit. Firstly, just like our physical bodies require adequate and regular good nutrition daily, in the same way so does our spirit. It was Jesus who said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by each and every word which proceeds forth out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)

So then, faith comes by hearing and hearing and hearing by the Word of God. I dare you to feed your spirit daily. I dare you to get your Bible, open it and feed on your daily bread from the mouth of God. Add faith, to this regime by meditating over and over the Word or promises you have read. Then make a declaration of that promise over your own circumstances, life, family, and situations, by speaking out what you have read boldly, and putting your name in there. 

For example, as we were taught by Stuart Ballantyne a few weeks ago, we could say, after reading 1 Peter 2:24 - "who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed."

Based on that, let's say the scripture above out loud, "I (put your name here) am healed by the stripes of Jesus, and because I'm healed, I am fantastic and getting better."

Death and life are in the power of your tongue, I dare you to daily make bold faith confessions regardless of your situation over the circumstances, casting those circumstances into the sea. Moving the mountains by faith, by speaking the good Word of God and calling those things that be not as though they are.

I dare you to make a quality decision to have a victorious and joy filled week by praising the Lord and declaring the victory of the word every day over anything and everything that comes your way. Casting all your cares, of everything and everyone upon the Lord.

Have a powerful week as you 'faith it till you make it'.

God bless,

Ps. Shaun Marler

“I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe.” Smith Wigglesworth.

If God’s Word says you are forgiven, then you are forgiven, if God’s Word says your needs are met, then your needs are met. If God’s Word says you are healed, you are healed. If you don’t let go of God’s Word, but keep it in your heart and mouth, then you can’t lose. There is no force the devil can bring against you that can overthrow the Word of God. God’s Word will make you a victor every time. So if you have been wanting good success and it has been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to succeed and remember instead, who lives in you. Then turn to the Word and put God’s success formula to work in your life. Start talking it, start thinking it, start doing it! You can believe all day long that the Bible is true- and that’s to your credit- but what the Bible says will never affect your life in a personal way until you start acting on God’s Word. Do not worry or fret that God has given more faith to others than He has to you. Rest assured in the fact that God h

Honour your man of God

“Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 (AMP) The word honour means: to respect, to revere, to treat with deference and submission and perform relevant duties to. Honouring your man of God is vital in the life of every born-again believer. Even as a Senior Pastor, it is a privilege for me to honour the men of God that I consider my spiritual fathers and mentors. They are life coaches to me on my spiritual journey to success, shining examples of excellence in ministry, men to whom I look for advice, prayer, guidance and leadership. The importance of a man such as this cannot be overstated. Many of us would not be saved from the wrath to come, had it not been for the assistance, support and intervention of our Pastors. We would be ignorant of the Word, were it not for a man of God anointed to teach. Thank God for men who dare to teach the “Word of God”, i

THE LAW OF REPETITION

Image
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe. Repetition, our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.  Romans 10:17 says “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ”.  It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.  Do not expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand everything instantly. You are a result of a process, y
