Faith Alone Is Not Enough

Key Point: Control the Atmosphere with your faith and actions

Faith got us to where we are today, but now we are at a spot where we have to go beyond faith. We can design our lives by using faith and action. We have to show God that we are serious about instilling what He is putting into our lives and spirits. Get up every single day of your life and get into the Word; have faith in God; and put it deep into your spirit. A person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. Abraham’s faith was made complete by what he DID, not just what he believed. God knows what you need in the future. You will be tested by God to give, so He can release things to you. Be obedient and listen to what God instructs you to do. You will never run out!! The devil has been given a restraining order to keep away from God’s people!!! Our Father owns everything, so what He instructs us to give away has great returns on it. Let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This is how we know that we belong to the truth. Then your heart won’t be condemned because there is no sin or nothing wrong in your heart. God is greater than our hearts for he knows everything. We have confidence in God and we can ask Him for anything and He will do it.

Anyone who listens is like a man who looks intently into the perfect law and retains it—he will be blessed as he concentrates on what God shows him. (He said that I could control the atmosphere). Listen to what God is saying, to shift the atmosphere, hear it and be intent on how to change the atmosphere starting today. God will show you a way out of your situation. Abraham—the Father of Faith needed to have both his faith and action working together. (He obeyed God and set his son up for sacrifice) God said “My righteous shall live by faith”. If Abraham had to have action, how much more do we need to do this? YOU MUST HAVE ACTION COUPLED WITH YOUR FAITH. God uses the Prophet to give the Word, and we need to follow the instructions. The Prophet, who spoke of the grace to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care. 1 Peter 1:10-13 is like James 1:22)

It is now time for the people of God to control the atmosphere. We have to shift the atmosphere and control it by the power of our words. Control everything—money, things—make it come to you-- because the earth belongs to God and we are His heirs. Empty out all of the worldly ways and renew your mind with the Word of God. We have to go deeper with God. We must learn how to possess the land by controlling the atmosphere. Do exactly what the Word says—this way you WILL shift the atmosphere! Have faith in God. (Have action words and do not doubt in your heart—it will be done for you. Speak the words and connect to God who is Faith itself. Whoever has my command and obeys them. He (our Pastor) is the one who loves me (Jesus). Jesus replied: I will love him and my Father will love him too. Jesus loves our Pastor, My Father loves him, We will show ourselves to Pastor and we will come and dwell with him. The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us…For the grace and truth (full of favor from God; and truth = Jesus Christ=The Word made flesh).
