''LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH'' pt 8

''FARMING OUR FAITH''
The growing ground for word seed of any kind, is the ground of our hearts. Our hearts or our growing ground will grow whatever kind of word seed we sow in it. Our hearts or our growing ground is good ground for any kind of word seed that we sow. Word Seeds will produce after it's kind, just like a tomato seed produces after it's kind. If you sow tomato seeds, you don't expect a watermelon to harvest, do you?
The written Word of God (the Bible) contains sixty six (66) books or bags of seed. ( Luke 8:11 - The Seed is the Word of God). That seed has in it potential to produce. I say potential because they can't produce just because they are in the book or in the bag (the Bible).
We have to Farm our Faith in the Word of God by sowing the Word of God Seed in our hearts and then speaking them out of our mouths. What is in you, in your heart or growing ground, is what you will bring forth or harvest. We will only harvest what we sow, so then we should sow what we want to harvest.
''CONFESSION BRINGS POSSESSION WORDS WHAT ARE YOU SOWING''        

''LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH pt 5

FAITH Comes by Hearing and Hearing and Hearing and Hearing and Hearing and Hearing and Hearing, by the Word of GOD. Notice I did not say that FAITH Comes by having Heard, the Word of GOD. Your FAITH  MATURES by HEARING. You can develop faith in anything. So then WHAT are You HEARING ? FAITH in the Word of GOD Comes by HEARING the Word of GOD ( CONSISTENTLY ).
FAITH is a Practical Expression of Your Confidence in GOD and in His WORD. Simply stated FAITH is ACTING out on what You BELIEVE. ''IF'' ( an action or condition word ) IF You Believe it then do it, is a simple way to say it.
'' LET'S FARM OUR FAITH'' The Word of GOD is a Seed. Luke 8:11 says: The Seed Is The Word Of God. Seed has to be planted. ''FOOD FOR THOUGHT'' IF you buy some Tomato Seeds and leave them in the envelope, you won't get or harvest any tomatoes. Like wise IF You don't take the Word of God Seed out of the bible You won't harvest or get whats in the book.
Just like the ground or soil is where you plant Tomato Seeds. We must LEARN and UNDERSTAND where and how to plant The Word of God Seed.
OUR HEARTS IS THE GROWING GROUND FOR WORD OF GOD SEED.  

''LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH'' pt 4

NOW !!!  Since we are to Live by FAITH, we need to Learn and Know What FAITH Is , and Where do we get it. Romans 1:16 & 17  NLT  --- 16. For I am not ashamed of this Good News ( the Word of God ) about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes --- Jews first and also Gentiles.       17. This Good News ( the Word of God ) tells us how God makes us right in His sight. This is accomplishes from start to finish by FAITH. As the scriptures say, ''It is through FAITH that a Righteous person has Life''.
What is this saying to us ? Put your TRUST and CONFIDENCE in GOD and in HIS WORD. For the WORD of GOD is HIS POWER-FULL Plan at work to allow everyone salvation, who dares to BELIEVE. The person who has FAITH in and BELIEVES in and TRUST in and have CONFIDENCE in the Written WORD of GOD is a Righteous Man and that Man has Right Standing with GOD. If that's YOU then you are to LIVE by FAITH.
So then we can Confidently say with a Firm Reliance that FAITH comes from the written WORD of GOD. Romans 10:17 --  So then FAITH Cometh BY HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of  GOD.
NOW !!! That we have this FAITH and we know where to get it. We need to know how to work it. You see FAITH is More than BELIEF, FAITH is Acting on what You Believe. You say you Believe the WORD, then ACT On What YOU Say YOU BELIEVE. ACT ON THE WORD AND LIVE BY FAITH.
Please Receive This: FAITH IS A PRACTICAL EXPRESSION OF YOUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD AND IN HIS WORD. FAITH COMES BY HEARING AND HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD.
''LET'S LEARN AND PURPOSEFULLY TO WORK OUR FAITH''                

 

''LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH'' pt 3

Out of the ABUNDANCE of Your HEART Your MOUTH will Speak. WHATEVER is in Your Heart, will come out of Your Mouth. You can read that for yourself in Matthew 12:34. Our Hearts are the Growing Ground or Container for WORDS, ALL WORDS. Whatever Words you have in you in Abundance will Eventually find it's way to Your Mouth. We Live our Lives by Words FILLED with either Faith or Fear.Those Words will Dictate Our Way of Living.
Faith is a PRESCRIBED Way to Live. Faith is not a Movement. Faith Comes by Hearing. Faith is Acting on what you Believe. ( Romans 1:17  NLT - This Good News ( the written Word of God ) tells us how GOD makes us right in His sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by FAITH. As the scriptures says, it is through FAITH that a righteous person has life. FAITH to Live a Successful Life comes from the written Word.
''WE GET FAITH FROM THE WORD OF GOD NO WORD NO FAITH''   

''LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH'' pt 2

We shared that Living by Faith is a Prescribed Way of Living, as written in the Bible, our book of Instructions. We learned that Faith is Acting on what you Believe. What we put in us is what we will Act on or Live by. Now Faith comes by hearing, and hearing, and hearing. NOTICE; I did not say Faith comes by having Heard, but by Hearing. My question to you is What are you HEARING ?
We program our own lives by the WORDS that  we put in us. How do Words get us you ask ? ONLY Three Ways, by our Ears, what we Hear, by our Eyes, what we See, and by our Mouths, by what we Speak. Words will Dictate the Directions of our lives. Our Hearts are the Storing Ground, or Container for Words, no matter whose Words we put in us. Good or Bad, Wrong or Right, Satan's or GOD'S Words. Words will Direct our Lives or our Faith Walk. What or whose Words you have in your Hearts in ABOUNDANCE is what will come out of your mouth and is what you will Act on, or have Faith in.
Let's Learn To Live By FAITH In GOD'S WORD

''LIVING THE LIFE OF FAITH'' pt 1

In order to Live Our Lives by FAITH We must First Learn What FAITH Is. FAITH Is an Action word. When you have Faith in Anything you act on, or move on, that thing you have FAITH in.
FAITH Is a Prescribed Way of Living. We have been given Instructions on how to Live.    Habakkuk 2:4 The just a declared righteous man shall live by his faith and in his faithfulness. Romans 1:16 The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith. Galatians 3:11 No man is justified (declared righteous) by the law in the sight of God, it is evident for, The just shall live by faith.                                                                                               Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith.                                           
Sounds like to me that FAITH is how we are to Live. FAITH is a Practical Expression of your Confidence (trust) in God and in His Word. FAITH is acting on what you believe.
We Must LEARN to Believe GOD and His Word     

"Overcoming Depression " Part 3

Depression is an Emotional Stronghold caused by Pain or Pleasure, which are feelings on the inside of us. Remember this: God gave us Emotions. Now ! Those Emotions must be govern ( to influence the action of ; guided ) by the Word of God, IF you want lasting results. The Word of God is where everything starts. God's Word is Life Seed. Sow the Word of God Seed in your heart, and Depression will have to flee. That word flee means ( to go swiftly or escape, as from danger ).
You deal with Emotional Strongholds or Depression by walking or living in the blessings of God -- empowerment to prosper. If you choose to walk or live with out the Word of God, you are controlled by the curse -- empowerment to fail.
THE WORD OF GOD IS SEED ( Luke 8:11 ) NO WORD NO CONTROL over Emotions.

OVERCOMING DEPRESSION # 2

Depression is an Emotional Stronghold. It is designed to weigh you down
with the cares of life.
Psalms 55:22 - Cast your burden on the Lord ( releasing the weight of it ) and He
will substain you; He will never allow the ( consistently ) righteous
to be moved ( made to slip, fall, or fail ).

God gave us emotions, however our emotions must be govern ( steered, have authority over,
rule of, guided and controlled ) by the Word of God.

Emotions are feelings on the inside of us caused by Pain or Pleasure.It's a Mind Set.
How we deal with these emotions will be determined whether or not we are walking
in the Curses ( empowerment to fail ) or in the Blessings ( empowerment to prosper ).
The Choice to Choose is Ours.

'' OVER COMING DEPRESSION ''

What is Depression ? - a hollow or low place a sense of being weighed down, a heaviness pressing in on you, an Emotional Strong hold.
1 Peter 5:7 amp - Casting the whole of your care ( all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all ) on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

The cares of life are designed to weigh you down. That's because we were not designed to carry them.
The Word of God says to CAST that means to Fling or to Throw, give your every care to God, He can handle them you can't.

Now that's Good News that we have help.

'' MARRIAGE '' How To Make It Work ( How To Honor Your Mate ) pt 5

Dear Readers:
Please Remember That God's Word Will Work  IF  We Work It.
This is the conclusion of  1 Peter 3: 1 - 7.

( 1 Peter 3: 7  KJ )  7. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge,
giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the
grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

( 1 Peter 3: 7  AMP )  7. In the same way you married men should live considerately
with ( your wives ), with an intelligent recognition ( of the marriage relation ), honoring
the woman as ( physically ) the weaker, but ( realizing that you ) are joint heirs of the
grace ( God's unmerited favor ) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered
and cut off. ( Otherwise you cannot pray effectively ).

( 1 Peter 3: 7  NLT )  7. In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives.
Treat her with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are,
but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. If you don't treat her as you should,
your prayers will not be heard.

In studying this verse this is what the Lord showed me.
Married Men you have an wonderful opportunity to stand up and be the husband, that
God intended ( plan, purposed ) for you to be by treating and loving your wife the way
God Loves the church, unconditionally. You are partners in this marriage union. In a
partnership both partners knows everything about the affairs of their partnership. So
then you should confide in one another as equals. Have an attitude of gratitude, for what
your partner can contribute to your partnership.

For your Prayer Life to be Effective, you must treat your partnership ( marriage )
with Honor, Harmony, and Agreement.

Let me encourage you that these seven scriptures can truly be foundational to your
success in your Marriage Love Walk. Don't take them lightly.Work The Word.
Submit one to another. GOD LOOKS AT YOUR HEART
How   To   Make   It   Work

'' MARRIAGE '' How To Make It Work ( How To Honor Your Mate ) pt 4

Dear Readers:
God has a divine order for how He instructs us to live. Follow His Ways.
Let's continue with verses  5 & 6 of  1 Peter 3.

( 1 Peter 3: 5 & 6  KJ  )  5. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also,
who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
6.  Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as
ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.

( 1 Peter 3: 5 & 6  AMP )  5. For it was thus that the pious women of old who hoped
in God were ( accustomed ) to beautify themselves and were submissive to their husbands
( adapting themselves to them as themselves secondary and dependent upon them ).
6. It was thus that Sarah obeyed Abraham ( following his guidance and acknowledging
his headship over her by ) calling him lord ( master, leader, authority ). And you are now
her true daughters if you do right and let nothing terrify you ( not giving way to
hysterical fears or letting anxieties unnerve you ).

1 Peter 3: 5 & 6  NLT )  5. That is the way the holy women of old made themselves
beautiful. They trusted God and accepted the authority of their husbands.
6.  For instance, Sarsh obeyed her husband, Abraham, when she called him her master.
You are her daughtets when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands
might do.

In studying these verses this is what the Lord showed me. Please listen from your heart.
If you pay attention to only what your mind says without acknowledging what your heart
is saying you will miss this. So please listen.

Married Women as children of God, and with the Power to Influence, we were created to
Help our husbands. Now ! Please keep listening as you read.

God's order is, God first, Always, man and then woman. The uniquness of this is God  said
that a husband is to be  the head of  his wife synonymously as Christ is head of the church.

What did Christ do for the church ? He is the saviour of His body. The Word says husbands
love your wives this way. And wives the Word says be submissive and adapt yourselves
to your husbands as unto the Lord. This is how you show your inner beauty.
The Word of God tells us this is pleasing to Him. So then wives must learn to be pleasing
to their own husbands, in the fear of the Lord.

Now Married Women listen: This does not mean your husband is to Dominate you, or,
control you, '' BUT '' lead and guide you, with the Love of God.
Your husband will be won over by your attitude to love and please him.
And Guess What ?  Your attiaude and behavior in this manner as Sarah did,
will cause you to have a Good Husband, and a Respectful Marriage.

( 1 Peter 3: 4  KJ ) 4. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that
which is not  corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit,
which is in the sight of God of great price.

( 1 Peter 3: 4  AMP ) 4. But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person
of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit,
which ( is not anxious or wrough up, but ) is very precious in the sight of God.

( 1 Peter 3: 4  NLT ) 4. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within,
the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.

In studying this verse this is what the Lord showed me.I pray you can receive this.
Married women  IF,  there is that condition word again. IF you want to win your husband
to the Lord, then make sure your inward man - mind / heart ( appearance )
is just as adorned ( beautified, decorated, dressed up ) with the precious word of God,
as your outward man - hair / clothes ( appearance ) is adorned ( beautified, decorated,
dressed up ) with external apparel.

Dear Readers:
God's Word is the  WAY  To Make It Work. Let's continue with verse 3 of 1 Peter 3.
( 1 Peter 3: 3 KJ  )  Whose adoring let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair,
and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

( 1 Peter 3: 3 AMP )  Let not yours be the ( merell ) external adorning with ( elaborate )
interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes;

( 1 Peter 3: 3 NLT )  Don't be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on
fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.

In studying these verses this is what the Lord showed me. I pray you can receive this.
Married women as children of God, with the Power to Influence, we should learn to
cultivate ( refine improve ) our inner beauty. This is what matters to God, our inner
disposition ( our attitude toward things ). God looks at your heart. Now don't get me wrong,
our outter appearance can be very captivating, you know draw attention, but,
we must not stop there. You know why ? What's on the inside of us will eventually
show up on the outside of us. WHAT WILL YOUR MATE SEE ?

Today I want to began sharing from (1 Peter 3: 1-7). My goal  is to share these scriptures
one at a time, from different translations and then expound on them.
IF, there is that condition word again, IF - means you have to do something.
IF you want your marriage to work, then PLEASE follow the instructions
written in the Word of God.

(1 Peter 3: 1 & 2 KJ ) 1. Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands;
that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by
the conversation of the wives;
2. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

(1 Peter 3: 1 & 2 AMP) 1. In like manner, you married women, be submissive to your
own husbands ( subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them,
and adapt yourselves to them ), so that even if any do not obey the Word ( of God ),
they may be won over not by discussion but by the ( godly ) lives of their wives,
2. When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves,
together with your reverence ( for your hushand; you are to feel for him all that
reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him-to honor, esteem, appreciate,
prize, and, in human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to,
deeply love, and enjoy your husband ).

( 1 Peter 3: 1 & 2 NLT ) 1. In the same way, you wives must accept the authority
of your husbands, even those who refuse to accept the Good News. Your godly lives
will speak to them better than any words.
2. They will be won over by watching your pure, godly behavior.

In studying these verses this is what the Lord showed me. I Pray that you can receive this.
Married Women we have been given an INSPIRING responsibility  to be an example
of Christ likness to our husbands.We have the Power to Influence our husbands, by our
own attitudes not only toward God and His Word, also by our attitudes toward our husbands.
I believe God created women / wife to be an Incentive for men / husband, so that he,
man / husband, would take his attention off self and pay Close Attention to woman / his wife.
Ladies / Wives we must learn to Love and Enjoy our husbands, an our attitude is the key.
It should be encouraging to all wives, that IF, there is that condition word again, If wives,
would OBEY the written Word of God, they can WIN their husband to Christ, after all is said

THIS  IS  HOW  TO  MAKE  IT  WORK  

'' MARRIAGE '' How To Make It Work

There are three issues in marriage that must be worked out. Communication, Money, and Sex. Communication is a key issue. Without good communication nothing else will work. Communication means to give or receive information, to impart to one another. It's the beginning of a meaningful relationship, a connection. Money is neutral, however the bible tells us that the love of money is the root to all evil. Decisions on making (acquiring - getting ) and spending ( dispersing ) must be agreed upon by both husband and wife, in order for it to work out favorable for both. Sex will be and can be appreciated by both when Communication and Money is intact ( unimpaired or uninjured ) agreed upon. I Pray that you can see that the order of the three is vitally important. Communication, Money, and Sex will have an domino effect, that works better together than separately. They compliment one another. You want your marriage to work. then make sure these three are working.

So PLEASE don't get alarmed. YOU, both of You, will miss the mark ''BUT'' your goal should be, to be the best you, you can be. Start with admitting when you are wrong,
next ALWAYS Forgive when wrong is done to you.
Remember This: FORGIVENESS is not for your partner it's for you.
FORGIVENESS IS FOR YOU.
No matter how large or small the wrong, or mistake, or hurt to you maybe, you must forgive.
''IF''  there's that condition word again, If you dont forgive.
''GET THIS'' If You Don't Forgive, You Will Keep On Hurting. FORGIVENESS IS FOR YOU.
You maybe saying, but you don't know what He or She did. NO ! I don't, ''BUT'' It does not matter.

''MARRIAGE'' How To Make It Work

Let me share something with you both. You Husbands, You Wives, you can CHANGE your marriage by Changing your MOUTH. Words are Powerful and what you say about your mate is what you will get. So what are you rehearsing  ( saying or confessing ) out of your mouth about your mate. Call Him or Her what you want them to be. Don't call them what they are. Follow God's example, call things that be not as though they are. Call what you want, and stop calling what you have. Listen: IF You want Changes, change your mouth.Call them Bless. If you Say what you have, you'll have what you Say. If you Call what you Want you'll have what you Call. This is not a play on words. Words are POWERFUL. Use them wisely.
The KEY is this: You Must Be Consistent.

God's Love Never Ever FAILS.  1 Corinthians 13:4-8
