The means to work Faith: You have the word of God, you have heard it now you seek a means by which to make that word work in faith, a practical means of application.
- And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That i will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams; Acts 2:17
- Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
- So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
- God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. Romans 12:3
Faith is [Hypo-Histemi]: A confident [assured] expectation under which to preserver, a reality of things hoped for. To fight the good fight of faith. It is not an emotional thing or feeling but a choice to believe. Jesus said do not be unbelieving but believing, if I speak the truth why don’t you believe Me? Faith is choosing to believe God in utter darkness, even when you don’t feel like it and refusing doubt.
Faith has Substances:
- Goal Substance: clear cut goal and strong goal. Prayer Goal [write it down].
- Desire Substance: to see the desire fulfilled not passing desire, nor lukewarm desire but a burning desert to see the goal fulfilled. If you lack in fervent desire ‘Ask the Holy Spirit, to make the desire burning hot.’
- Dream Substance: [draw the picture of the goal you would like to see in a form of vision and dreams on your heart] see and visualise the dream fulfilled and praise the Lord for it [everyday]. The Holy Spirit speaks the language of visions and dreams.
By having the dreams and vision you give a means for the Holy Spirit to work. Prayer without faith accomplish nothing. [My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6]
Visions and Dreams Give Birth to Faith [Mother of faith] Vision is an integral part of faith and believing it is the language of the Holy Spirit.
Abraham and the stars: Abraham was told the Lord would make him into a great nation right from the start [he did not quite grasp that promise], though he obeyed and left the land of Chaldeans. It was when the Lord spoke to him and said “So shall be your descendants be.” and showed him the stars that he believed he descendant will be as numerous as the stars in haven. When Abraham saw the stars he could envision the promise, he had the evidence of things not seen. Visions are a picture of things unseen: and God calls the things unseen as if they are.
God has already given you faith. Faith is already the answer [faith is substance of things hoped for, faith is the reality]: through faith you can attract the desired outcome. A faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. What you believe is coming out of you and attracting the very things you believe. God spoke and the heaven and earth came into being. You are made in the image of God, your words have creative power what you believe makes your circumstance. You speak forth your reality. [Believing is the real treasure.]
Jacob and spotted and speckled animals: Jacob put the stripped branches before the animals in the drinking troughs. Jacob began to dream that all the animals were spotted and speckled. He set a plan by which he may visualise the desired outcome, a means to which his faith could work. It may appear foolish in the natural but God honoured his faith and the animals that mated looking at the stripped branches gave birth to spotted and speckled offsprings.
It is not struggling to believe or trying to coxing yourself to have more faith so as to obtain an outcome, but to visualise the desired outcome in your heart clearly based on the truth [the promise] of the Word of God. It is to create the evidence of things not seen clearly in your heart, so the One who calls the things that are not as if they were may bring them to pass. It is a means by which you partner with God.
You visualise and dream the desired outcome [see it clearly, persist on it, live in it]. When that vision builds and it is clear, The Holy Spirit produce the equal faith required in your heart so you will have the faith to pray and receive.
Christ on the cross have taken away your curse and you have been blessed with the blessing of Abraham. Christ has taken your sickness and infirmities by the strips of Jesus you were healed. You have a sure foundation on which to dream and visualise on.
You foundation is the word of God, His promises: you set a pathways for faith to work.
Revival is first from the inside: “you give birth to the church [church is built in your heart first], Church growth does not come from the outside.” It is giving precedence to the Holy Spirit in recognition that we are partnering in His work.
Let it be done to you according to your faith: if you will have clear goals and vision and dreams and faith. The Lord will fulfil them.
Deep Fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
Relationship with the Holy Spirit, He is NOT just an experience. Need to fellowship with Him and not to take Him for granted: “Its is not just being born again, baptised by the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues.” The Holy Spirit is the Devine Person, He is the delicate and Awesome Person of the Trinity as deserving of our adoration, praise and worship as God the Father and God the Son. You should not hesitate in your heart or mind to honour Him. And NOT to neglect direct fellowship with Him. Always Recognise Him, Welcome Him, honour Him, and recognise your utter dependence on Him, seeking His leading and Guidance. You must live a life of constant recognition of His presence with you every moment. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
The Holy Spirit is the Other Comforter [He came in place of Jesus] The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. The Holy Spirit came to testify of Jesus Christ. He is the One, called to be along side. (As Jesus was with His disciples so is the Holy Spirit it with us, and He is in us.) This is the age of the Holy Spirit, He is the Lord of the Harvest and we are His servants. Jesus said: Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers into His field. He is the Senior Partner: As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Acts 13:2 Wait upon Him and receive the gentle guides of the Holy Spirit, He is the One who would do the mighty work to help us. The Holy Spirit helps with Communication: He enables you to communicate with God helps you with your prayer and carries it before God. He enables you to communicate clearly with your other people. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of unity: The Spirit of the Lord brings unit. We are one in Him.
You Must recognise the Holy Spirit, Acknowledge Him everyday, Wait on Him, Love Him, Welcome Him, Thank Him!
