Forward by faith

Posted on 31 Oct 2019

Christian life is portrayed as a walk in the Bible. It is moving forward, things should get better and should work out for you.

2 Corinthians 5:6-9

6So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.

Entire Christian life is trusting GOD. We are saved by faith, we live by faith, we walk by faith.

Get your life in forward motion so you achieve the things GOD wants you to achieve.

Mediate on the Word of GOD.

Direct your faith towards GOD.

Faith is positive expression of mind towards GOD.

Assurance, there is no question in my mind GOD will keep His word. I have confidence that what I have asked, He will bring about in my life. Confidence is seeing the end result of something even before it happens. Confidence is a sure thing. I can rest now I have made my petition to GOD.

If I have genuine faith in GOD, I have the assurance and promises of GOD and the will of GOD then I trust him He will bring it to pass.

Philippians 4:6

6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Then I can expect GOD to do something. I have assurance whatever GOD says He is going to do, He will do it.

GOD if you said it that settles it for period. Have strong confidence. Thank GOD more rather than crying out.

Anticipation, if I really and truly believe GOD will do what He say He will do I am going to prepare for it I am going to make plans.

If I believe GOD will do, I am getting ready. If you go to GOD and you ask for something, make preparations for it that GOD will do it.

Awareness, when you believe in GOD and live with the presence of GOD, the HOLY Spirit will make you sensitive and will enable you see the evidences that GOD is working on it.

Genuine faith lives in the awareness of the presence of GOD. GOD is the focus of our faith. Faith puts the focus, the labour and the result on the GOD.

2 Kings 6:15-17

15When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” 16He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” 17Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Awareness of presence of GOD gives you the spiritual capacity what the human naked eye cannot see but the spiritual eye see it as a done deal.

Access, faith involves access. All our access to Almighty GOD comes by access. Faith is the key that unlocks the treasure house to all blessings. You responded to offer of the forgiveness by expressing to GOD by faith who made the offer, if He made the offer He will come it to pass. Faith is what we live by, trusting GOD, it is an assurance, it is an awareness, it is an anticipation it is an access to the Father. We access His blessings that fits to His will and His timing. His timing is absolutely perfect.

The key is the faith, trusting Him. We can talk to GOD through LORD Jesus Christ who is mediator. It is access.

Authority, faith is the greatest asset you have as a believer. Where you are in Christian life is a result of what you believe for. Your circumstances under the control of GOD, if your circumstances under the control of GOD you come to Him by faith and you trust Him. God will become involve in your circumstances. Our authority is Word of GOD. We have an authority to come to GOD.

Matthew 7:7

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

Heavenly Father I came to you by faith as your servant with an authority, given to access You by LORD Jesus Christ, your will be done.

Hebrews 11:33-38

33who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. 35Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

Ask GOD for His will. GOD will always show you His will. The disciples of LORD Jesus Christ have conquered the test and trials, temptation, the Satan, the fear of death. Because they placed their trust in Him. If I know what the promise of GOD is and will of GOD accept that as a done deal.

Trust Him, believe Him, the authority come by believing GOD.

Even your circumstances will not chance, GOD will give you confidence, assurance and boldness. You will be moving forward.

Philippians 4:13

13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Christian life is trusting GOD. GOD works in you through you. Believe in Him and trust Him. It is the work of GOD.

Action, believe GOD and you do what He asks you to do. Noah believed GOD and built an ark.

Test of your faith is obedience.

The faith is action.

Approval by faith they have gained approval. When you trust GOD, He is happy.

Hebrews 11:2, 39-40

2For by it the people of old received their commendation.

39And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, 40since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

Obey Him let Him bless you with the best.

Psalm 40:1-3

1I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,

and he turned to me and heard my cry.

2He lifted me out of the pit of despair,

out of the mud and the mire.

He set my feet on solid ground

and steadied me as I walked along.

3He has given me a new song to sing,

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see what he has done and be amazed.

They will put their trust in the Lord.

 When you believe GOD and GOD does these things in your life, others will learn to put their trust in Him.

It is by faith we move forward in our life.
