James 1:2-7 Testing of Faith-How are you going to get through what you are going through?

Your are either in or not in.  Know how to stand. Don’t go by what you feel.  Sickness is NOT of God. You can do things to bring on sickness yourself. Afflictions come. Faith has trials. Will you serve Him?  Will you love Him?

Get to know Him. 

James half brother of Jesus.  In Christ, Jesus is our elder brother.  If you lack wisdom, ask God. God wants to bless you. Get from God. Stand in faith no matter what. Surrender your will to God. There are gradual healings and there are miracles.  Stand firm in God. When you give it, release it. WAIT ON THE LORD. He will renew your strength.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Be on guard, stand firm in faith. Watchful-Stand fast. How do you stand firm in faith during difficulty?

1) Trust-God is in control- He is more than able to take care of you in every circumstance.

2)Remain in the Word-Jesus said If you remain in my Word-When the Word says it, never doubt it.

3) Do not give up-He is more than able. Do not doubt God’s presence in your life. He cares.

John16:33 In this world, you will have trials and tribulations, BUT… fear not, I have overcome the world.

You have what you say.  Being a child of God does not make you immune to challenges, suffering and seasons of difficulty. (He had to endure pain.)

How to walk by faith every day:

1) Start your day in prayer, and end your day in prayer.  1Thes 5:16-18

2) Know what is and isn’t important,

3) Place spiritual boundaries in your life, 1 Tim 4:16

4) Read and meditate on Scripture, Rom 19:17

5) Remember you are an ambassador of Christ.

1 Thes 5:16-18 Growing in Faith Day & Night

1 Cor 15:33 Do not be deceived. 

Remember you are an Ambassador of Christ.

Matt 5:13

Rom 13:13

Hebrews 11:1 Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for,  the evidence of things not seen. Faith is substance, faith is real.  You can have confidence.  Believe that He is and He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.  Have expectancy that God hears me. Not “what if?” Or are you waiting to see the answer? For every faith there’s a great trial.  Believe God. He is God and nothing is impossible with Him.  Help my unbelief.  God will prove Himself to you. Build yourself up in the most holy faith. I can do all things through Christ.

IIKings 6:15, 17 Trouble has conquered you instead of faith. Reality is true. Don’t walk in front of a freight train

2 Cor 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. I believe in Your report. Life and death are in the tongue. Heart clean, walk right.

Our life with Christ requires faith from beginning to end.

Faith is essential to our walk with Christ.

Deut 8: 2,3 Humble you- first you to know what’s in your heart.

Faith in God will take us every place we need to go. Gal 6:9 Due season we will reap if we do not give up.

Faith allows us to see the invisible reality of God’s power and kingdom  Wants to show you who He is and what He can do.

It is the means by which we relate to God and it inspires us to face the unknown with certainty. Proverbs 3:5-6

We must trust in God. Our life with Christ requires Faith.

The more we know about Faith and power through the Holy Spirit. It is an incredible journey.

Deut. 8:2-3 God tests you and then blesses you.

Don’t give up. Keep on Keeping on. Determined-Deligent- Persistent

2 Cor 4:16-17 Tough times right now. Never give up.

Galations 6:9 Let us not grow weary in doing good for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

STAY IN FAITH.

Hosea 4:6 My people perish for lack of knowledge.  Everything in the Word of God is truth.  Satan doesn’t want you to believe that Jesus is the healer.  When God steps into your life it is called intervention. If you don’t believe God, He isn’t going to heal you. God works in different ways. You can be healed and still go to hell.

Don’t lay hands on the sick if you can’t see them healed.

Matthew 15:26 Healing and deliverence is the children’s bread.  God wants you to be lifted up.  Healing is in God’s hands. People want to see a miracle, but they don’t want to serve God. Believe first.

Ephesians 4:11 The gifts of God.

1. Insight

2. Edifying the body of Christ.

3. A new dimension of faith.(will come alive)

4.  Millions or billions who have not or never will experience the delivering power of God.

5. Continue in prayer until you have developed a real living faith in God.

6. Healing is not based on what you think, but what you KNOW from God’s Word. James 5:16

Romans 10:17o Now Faith cometh… Hearing…Hearing…Hearing the Word of God. 

7. Faith takes time to develop through Reading the Word-Studying the Word, Hearing the Word. Luke 4:2-4 

Proverbs 22:4

Digging Deeper-Drawing Closer to God

Psalm 107:9  He satisfies the longing soul and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

We need to go deeper, draw closer to God.  Put Him first. Listen for His voice.  Speak to me, Lord,  and I will obey.

Don’t put confidence in things around you- not your own desires. He satisfies the hungry soul.  Only God can fill the empty spot inside.  I want Jesus more than anything around me.  Those who want more, He will take deeper.

Go deeper and deeper.  Get closer and closer.  God will satisfy.  Ask God to help you understand as you read the Word.

The I Am Is with you and for you and He is with you in your weakness.

Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

If you live by flesh, you die.  You can’t have your own agenda. You must be led by the Spirit. Many trials come to the righteous. There will be suffering in this present time.  Get your focus back on God. What have you allowed to get you down?  Do what God wants you to do. Satan wants you to lose focus and give up. Who shall bring charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. He is with you, He is for you. Don’t allow the enemy to take your focus off God.  Be accountable to God and to one another. Satan will remind you of who you were.

Numbers 14:9-10 The Lord is with us.  We are more than able.

Corinthians 4:18 We look not to things that are seen, but to those things that are unseen. 1) Things that are seen are transient, things that are unseen are eternal.

God is with you. He is fighting for you. Quit looking at

what is and Get your eyes on the Lord.

2 Corinthians 4: 16-17 Glory beyond all comparison.

Don’t lose heart. Outer self wasting away. Inner self being renewed.

2. Make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

3. He is not against you.

Luke 24:13-35 

Matthew 6:21-24 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The road is narrow and few find it. Come out from among them and be ye separate.  Do you love Me more?

Get rapture ready.

Too  busy to serve Me? No man can share My glory.  Get in order.  Get in the Word. Live the Word. Better listen to what God is saying. Watch what you get involved in.

You can either see or you can’t see. No one can serve two masters.  Actions speak louder than words. You cannot serve God and money.  Who persuaded you away from the truth?  Where is your devotion? Time to get the fire again.

Genesis 15:17 God confirmed His covenant with Abraham.  It was a smoking furnace and a burning lamp that passed between the pieces of the sacrifice.

Luke 24:25-27, 

Luke 10:38:42 Mary-Martha

John 12:32

John 12:3 She anoints Him and wipes His feet with her hair. When you serve with all your heart.

A cloud of fire led the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage.

God spoke to Moses from a burning bush. 

Exodus 19:18 Mt. Sinai-God descended upon in fire.

Acts 2 Holy Spirit was manifested

What brings the fire?

The Presence of God. 

Hearts on fire for the presence of God. 

Ways to put the fire out:

Pour water on it.

Smother it out.

Just neglect it, stop putting fuel on it. Eventually burn out.

It’s the same with our hearts toward God.

The only way to keep burning is don’t neglect.

Luke 24:25-27 Did not our hearts burn within us?

Fire ignited by scripture. God’s Word is powerful!. Scripture will change your life. Our walk with God will be intensified by communion with Him. Luke 10:38-42 Mary Martha.

Northing More, Nothing Less, Nothing Else

You belong to God. You don’t belong to yourself.  Put flesh under- NO MATTER WHAT. Called us to be witnesses.

Matt 6:10 Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

A. Some prayers are harder to pray than others.

B. God has  a will concerning our lives.

C. But I also have a will that encompasses my desires for my life. God wants you to love Him more than anything. Your life is not your own.

D. When I pray “Your will be done.” I am asking that God’s will prevail over my will.  Surrender.

How can I get to the point of overturning my will for God’s Will?

Psalm 103:20 Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey His Word.

Angels obey Him, they don’t question Him. We have choices.

Proverbs 20:24 A man’s steps are ordered by God.  God wants you to love one another. How can a man understand his own way?

Matt 26:39 Not as I will, but as You will.

To call God Father means that you recognize what he did when he gave his own son to die on the cross. Matt 26:39.

1.  Praying Your Will be Done means we may face suffering and pain.

2. It cost Him, His life.

3.  It will be worth it all.  

God does not accept the status quo.

An action step when you pray Your Will be Done.

May Your will be done in my life. Nothing More, Nothing Less, Nothing Else.

4. You are asking that your life pass from  your control to God’s control.

1. Irritable

2. Pushy

3. Anxious

4. Fearful

6. Withdrawn

7. Driven

8. Compulsive

In the midst of your circumstances, Live what you preach.

 

Phillipians:1: 12-14 Advancement of the Gospel.  Get rid of the rear view mirror. I want you to know what has happened to me.  Go back to your altar, your place of prayer. Cover yourself with the Word. God wants to take you to another level. He wants you to advance. God is waiting to see if you can get through the trial. Don’t harden your heart. God wants you to progress. You are chosen and blessed. I’m gonna give my best. God allows tests.  He allows you to make choices. “My imprisonment is for Christ.” God is in control. When you don’t know what to do, just stand. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. It will strengthen those around you because of what you are going through.  Devil would love for you to shut up! Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.  The Lord will make a way where there seems to be no way. Speak the Word without fear.

 

Romans 8:28

James 1:13-15 Do Not Be Deceived!

Romans 8:28 God does not say that all things are  good. James 1:16-17 Good things come from God. Look at the unfair trial of Jesus. God is in control from start to finish. Phil 1:12-17 Paul was awaiting before Caesar in Rome.

Acts 28:30-31 Paul was under house arrest, but rejoiced in Him. Good results from bad circumstances. 

Phil 4:22

When Your Life is Out of Control:

1. Praise God that He is in control.

2. In times like these-pour out your heart to Him in prayer. 

3. Listen to that still small voice of the Spirit- Let God work it out.

4. Use this prayer from God’s Word. Isaiah 55:11

5. Ask God to renew your trust anew and refreshed.

6. Use God’s Word when you pray, it will give you strength.
