Mark 11:22-23 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass: he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Faith is of the heart. Jesus said that we are not supposed to doubt in our hearts. So if we’re not supposed to doubt in our hearts, the what do we do? BELIEVE IN OUR HEARTS! As you look at the Scripture references today, I want you to count a couple of things: “say or saith,” and “believe.” He said “say or saith” (keep on saying) THREE TIMES, and “believe” only one time. It seems to me, that He was telling us that “saying” is tantamount to our believing in our hearts.
Remember, God is A Spirit. You are A spirit and the Word IS Spirit. Faith brings the unrealities of the spirit realm into this natural realm. This means the spirit realm is greater than the natural realm. Faith is the spiritual force that brings the promises to pass in this natural realm, changing what is TRUE to what is TRUTH! Faith is of the heart not of the mind, that is why we need to renew our minds with the Word of God, as the mind is the doorway or gateway to the heart of man. That is why meditating on the promises and speaking out the promises will build faith into our hearts. But, faith is of the heart, not the mind!
Thanks so much for allowing the Presence of God to move so mightily in our midst yesterday! JESUS IS IN THE HOUSE!

James 2:20-24 “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Faith gives substance, to hope. Hope is the BLUEPRINT (the promise or desire) that we have for our life or situation. For instance, maybe like me once in a while you get a special “craving” for a certain food…let’s just say a pizza; you probably think about what kind you would like, and what toppings you want on it..you meditate on it, think about it to the degree that you can almost taste it. But, if you never get out of your chair and go to the pizza shop to get it, you are not going to get the pizza! You didn’t get the pizza because you did not put ACTION to your faith. You thought about it, you meditated on it to the point that you could picture it. Bud you didn’t taste it because you didn’t do something about it. You couldn’t sink your teeth into hope with your actions, and therefore you couldn’t sink your teeth into that pizza. It is vitally important that we put ACTION TO OUR FAITH! If we don’t act on our faith, we can actually miss out on the promise.
Yesterday’s trivia: Ezekiel, Ezekiel 8:5.

Abraham did what he was told to do he acted on the Word of God, and Abraham’s faith was made perfect (matured) by his actions and therefore he received the promise that he would be the “father of many nations,” and he was called the FRIEND OF GOD! Since God is not a respecter of person (Acts 10:34) as we put corresponding action to our faith in the promises of the Word, our faith will mature and we also will be called a FRIEND OF GOD! Isn’t that wonderful? We need to do everything we can to have our actions correspond with the Word of God…faith without works is dead.
Praise team practice tonight @5, followed by WARFARE at 7.

Today’s trivia: What prophet spoke of the Jews weeping and wailing in front of the altar because God would not accept their offerings? Hint: Last book of the Old Testament.

Hebrews 8:6 “But now hath he (Jesus) obtained a MORE EXCELLENT ministry, by how much also he (Jesus) is the mediator of a BETTER COVENANT, which was established upon BETTER PROMISES.” (emphasis mine) As believer in Christ Jesus, and having a covenant with God through Him, we have a basis for faith. This new covenant (Bible) is loaded with promises from God. It is a BETTER covenant with BETTER promises, because of the BETTER SACRIFICE..JESUS CHRIST! Under the old covenant, things were “covered over,” but under the NEW COVENANT, THINGS ARE CHANGED! This is a good place to shout!
Our praise team is beginning to expand with some amazing, dedicated folks who just want to praise the Lord and help us in getting there! We practice at 5:00pm on Wednesday. You are welcome to come and join in!

Remember when we looked at the basic principles of faith for receiving the promises that Abraham did? 1. Abraham had the promise of God regarding the matter. 2. He believed the promise through his words and actions. 3. He did not consider the problem. 4. He gave glory to God before he physically saw the answer. If we follow these four basic principles of faith, the promises will be made sure to us. Let’ look at Proverbs 4:20-22: “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.”
Attend to the Word of God, (read it, listen to it, pay attention to it, give it first place and act like it is so). As we keep His Word before us and at the center our our heart we will become FULLY PERSUADED as Abraham was and God’s promises will bring life to us and health to our flesh!
Yesterday’s trivia: Abraham, Genesis 12:7
Today’s trivia: What priest saw an angel standing beside the altar of incense? Hint: Luke 1.

2nd Corinthians 12:7-10 “And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Gradually, after the death of Christ, signs, wonders, and miracles began to fade out of the Church. They faded out because DOUBT and UNBELIEF slipped in. Even before the New Testament was completely written, FALSE prophets, LUKEWARMNESS and WORLDLINESS was invading the Church. UNBELIEF was gripping the heart’s of God’s people INSTEAD OF FAITH!
After the close of the first century, miraculous manifestations became fewer and fewer. Although the manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit seemed to cease to a great extent after the time that is referred to as the “Apostolic Age.” There is NO EVIDENCE WHATEVER that this occurred BECAUSE the Lord withdrew the gifts. This happened because the Church “LEFT THEIR FIRST LOVE” and became LUKEWARM.

THE WORD WORKS WHEN YOU PUT IT TO WORK!
Today’s trivia: Where did Paul see an altar inscribed to “To an Unknown God?” Acts 15-17.
PD & Kathy
God who is all-knowing, all-powerful and all EVERYTHING knew that the lukewarmness of the Church would develop, God also said that in the last-days (some refer to as the Laodicean Church age which we are no living in)He would pour out of His Spirit upon all flesh. I believe that one of the signs of the pouring out of the Holy Spirit would be a sign of revealing Bible truths–a revival of miracles, signs, wonders, healings and manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit. Some have called this a CHARISMATIC RENEWAL, “Charisma” comes from the Greek and has to do with the grace of God. The grace of God in the distribution of the gifts of the Spirit, which means that we are once again seeing in the Church a renewal of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. One of these giftings of the Holy Spirit is “Gifts of Healings.” This means that healing has come back into focus, even though a large portion of the church world will try to convince us that God does not heal today. But why aren’t everyone healed? That is a legitimate question. There are probably a multitude of reasons, but the main one is that the Holy Spirit is trying in one generation to eradicate around 1800 years of religious tradition and unbelief.
MEN OF DESTINY meet tomorrow evening at 6:30pm, looking at chapter #3.

Hey Believers, are you getting you stones polished up to take out the Giants in the Land? YOU ARE WELL ABLE!
PD & Kathy
On the foreign field where they are not steeped in christian tradition, nor are they gospel-hardened, they just SIMPLY BELIEVE for miracles and great manifestations are being witnessed. Because of hundreds of years of slipping further and further and further into tradition, the Church had to come up with an interpretation of scripture that would support their stand that miracles had ceased. This means that they had to twist, leave out, or mis-intrepret many biblical truths. One of the greatest mis-intrepreted passages of scripture is on “Paul’s Thorn.” Many have been led to believe that their sickness came from God ( a lie of the devil–God has never made anyone sick), and that their sickness is a “Thorn in the flesh,” to teach the something.
