Category: AS THE WORLD TURNS

Other than the four principles that Abraham did, there is also something else that we need to understand.  Since we live in a “time” sphere of influence, we sometimes look at natural time realm rather than the spiritual realm. As far as God looks at His Word, it is ALWAYS NOW (Hebrews 11:1).  But, in the natural sense there is also SEED, TIME and HARVEST (Genesis 8:22). This is especially true in the area of finances.  God’s Will is that we prosper and be in health even as our SOUL PROSPERS (mind, will and emotions….thinker, doer and willer).  For instance you don’t work you don’t eat….if you don’t have a job at this particular time, YOUR JOB is to FIND A JOB!  Which is not sitting at home waiting for someone to knock on your door and hand you the CEO position of a fortune 500 hundred company.  Financial prosperity begins with you having a job, and believing that GOD IS YOUR SOURCE and the job is the present means of God supplying your needs.  I have heard some people say that “they were laying before the Lord,” when in reality they were sleeping!  Get God’s Word on your situation, and then do everything you can do to act like it is so!

In Abraham’s situation it took only one year for the first part of God’s promise to show up: Isaac.  But the promise to Abraham is  still working today as people are born into the Family of God everyday.  Spiritually speaking we are the seed of Abraham!  In any case, however, if we follow these four principles of Abraham’s faith we will also obtain the promises of God. God will not give us promises that we are not able to obtain.  God is a good God and wants us to have not just life, but LIFE ABUNDANTLY! SHOUT AMEN SOMEBODY! 

Yesterday’s trivia: Samuel, 1st Samuel 7:17.

Today’s trivia: What king was told to build an altar in a threshing place? Hint: 2nd Samuel 23-24.

Did you know that there is a “Mason-Dixon” line in the Word of God?  It is found in John 10:10; “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”  On one side you have stealing, killing and destroying; on the other side LIFE ABUNDANTLY! I kind of look at this as a “no-brainer” to which side  to choose. The Lord is on my side!  And I am on HIS SIDE! AMEN!

Yesterday’s trivia: David, 2nd Samuel 24:18.

Today’s trivia: What rebellious son of David sough refuge from Solomon by holding on to the horns of the altar?                                         Hint: 1st Kings 1.

Looking forward to a WONDERFUL TIME TOGETHER TODAY AROUND THE WORD…YOU ARE WELL ABLE!

Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”  If you were like me, you were probably raised with an attitude of “I’ll believe it when I see it.”  Even one of the disciples of the Lord Jesus was like that, and it displeased the Lord.  Faith says I have it now before I physically see it; faith says  believing is seeing;  faith takes hold of the unrealities of hope and brings them into existence.  Abraham’s faith gives God thanks and praise BEFORE it sees the answer (in the natural) and gives Glory to God.  Tomorrow we are going to look at the “Thomas faith” from the Word. 

Yesterday’s trivia: Adonijah, 1st Kings 1:50.

Today’s trivia: Who took bones out of tombs and burned them on an altar to defile it? Hint: 2nd Kings 22-23.

There are GIANTS IN THE LAND, but YOU ARE WELL ABLE TO OVERCOME THEM!

John 20:24-29 “But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.  The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord.  But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.  And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.  Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.  And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.  Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thous hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 

Abraham’s faith says we have it before we see it (in the natural sense) because God’e Word is true NO MATTER WHAT!  We need to believe it will be as God has said (Acts 27:25).  Circumstances should not dictate our lives…..Environment should not dictate our lives….People should not dictate our lives.  THE WORD OF GOD SHOULD DICTATE OUR LIVES!  The Word should be the FINAL AUTHORITY in our lives. Our bills are paid, we are healed by the stripes of Jesus….it will be as God has said!  That is the Abraham Faith!  Believing what God says no matter what.  On the other hand the Thomas faith (continued tomorrow).

Yesterday’s trivia: Josiah, 2nd Kings 23:16.

Today’s trivia: What king of Israel changed the religious institutions of the country by building an altar at Bethel?                                       Hint: 1st Kings 10-12.

WARFARE TOMORROW AT 7!  And YOU ARE WELL ABLE! 

PD & Kathy 

Continuing on from yesterday, the Thomas kind of faith says things like: I’ll believe it when I see it.  It doesn’t look like those bills are ever going to get paid.  Keep on and we’ll lose our house and car.  We won’t have money for groceries or anything else.  We’ll wind up under a bridge.  I sure hope God can do something.  We sure could use the help!  So, I am here to HELP YOU.  God unfortunately can do very little for you because GOD WORKS THROUGH FAITH!  And if you are in the example of the Thomas kind of faith examples……you don’t have any faith working!  This can be proven by Matthew 12:34: “For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”  Faith is of the heart, and what is in there in abundance will manifest in your speaking.  That is why the enemy wants us to look at the natural circumstances and continue to talk about the negatives in them to stop our GOD KIND OF FAITH working in our lives.  The Thomas kind of faith is what the devil uses to steal, kill and destroy.  ABRAHAM’S FAITH IS THE FAITH GOD CAN USE TO GIVE US LIFE AND GIVE IT TO US MORE ABUNDANTLY! Remember the four principles of Abraham faith: 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 saw the answer (in the natural).  Let’s be believing Abrahams and not doubting Thomases.  Let’s. meditate on the promises not the problems. BECAUSE: YOU ARE WELL ABLE IN JESUS NAME!

Yesterday’s trivia: Jeroboam, 1st Kings 12:32. 

Today’s trivia: What good king’s birth was foretold hundreds of years before the fact by a prophet standing before the altar                         at Bethel? Hint: 1st Kings 12-13. 

PD & Kathy 

There are so many people who sincerely believe that they live by faith, but in reality, I am sad to say that if you sit down with a lot of them, and listen to them for awhile, you would recognize that they “think” they are in faith, but in reality aren’t.  I never want to discourage anyone who is trying to truly live by the Faith of God in their lives, but we need to get fixed in our heats what REAL BIBLE FAITH IS….and once we get an understanding, we will be able to TRULY BE PLEASING TO GOD BY LIVING BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT! So, with that in mind let’s look at what the BIBLE DEFINITION OF FAITH IS:                Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Somebody said that “faith is the stuff that stuff is made of.”  Faith gives us the confident assurance of that for which we hope and is the proof of the reality of the things we do not see.  In other words, faith brings the unrealities of hope into the realm of reality. Will pick this up tomorrow. 

God keeps speaking to our WARFARE ON WEDNESDAY GROUP, to continue to stand and stay strong IN HIM!

Today’s trivia: What leader was told to tear down his father’s altar to Baal? Hint: Judges 5-6.

GOD SAID IT, THAT SETTLES IT and WE BELIEVE IT…because WE ARE WELL ABLE! 

PD & Kathy 

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  Faith gives SUBSTANCE to hope.  It is the EVIDENCE of the UNSEEN.  It is a firm persuasion.  A conviction based upon hearing.  Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17).  God’s Word is the basis for faith.  Faith says: “I have it now!”  Hope says: “I’ll have it someday.”  Faith is for today, hope is for tomorrow or sometime in the future.  Faith receives Jesus Christ as their Savior NOW!  Someone who is hoping for salvation never gets saved.  When did you get saved? We’ll look at that tomorrow. 

They are coming form the North, the South the East and the West that the house may be full, thanks so much to you wonderful believing saints of God for setting the Atmosphere for the Holy Spirit to move and manifest His Presence in our midst as He watches over His Word to perform it.

Yesterday’s trivia: Gideon, Judges 6:25

The more we get the Word of God in our hearts and act on it, the more WE ARE WELL ABLE! 

PD & Kathy 

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”   Yesterday I left off leaving you with a question:  “when did you get saved?”  The answer that will more than likely come to mind is a particular date such as “I got saved at 1st Church on June 19, 1999.”  But, even though that may be true, the TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT YOU ACTUALLY GOT SAVED OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO BUT YOU BELIEVED AND RECEIVED IT JUNE 19TH!  We have tendencies to have our understanding in the natural sense, that is why we have to get our “minds renewed” with the Word of God.  As we do this, our thinking will begin to think like God does…for instance, EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO OUR LIVES, WAS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR OVER 2,000 YEARS AGO IN THE DEATH, BURIAL AND RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!  The price has already been paid!  Healing and prosperity and peace are not promises, THEY ARE A FACT!  The Blessings of God ALREADY BELONG TO YOU NOW! RIGHT NOW! FAITH SAYS “I HAVE IT NOW!”  Because NOW FAITH IS!  Can I get an Amen?

MOD SQUAD TONIGHT AT 6:30 AS WE CONTINUE IN OUR STUDY  OF “How to keep the devil out of your life.” Ask and bring someone!
