THE BIBLE CORNER
The
Faith Operation:
(Note: To read
at a glance follow bold print)
Faith comes to the heart by meditating on and speaking the
Word
. Meditation on the Word
causes faith to be activated in the (mind) heart of the
believer. For out of
the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34). Faith is primarily
released when the believer speaks the word of God. Words are containers that
bring forth faith from
the believer when spoken.
The Word of God spoken by a believer will manifest the
power of God (1 Corinthians 2:4, Luke 11:49). A continuous meditating on
and confessing of God's word will build and release faith. Confessing words that are
contrary to the Word will produce a negative force that produces
lack, doubt and fear (Matthew 12:35). Confessing words of God
produces the God kind of result (Mark 11:22-23). I believe, and therefore
have I spoken, we also believe, and therefore speak (2 Corinthians
4:13). Confessing the
word causes Faith to come to you by your hearing of the confessed
word from God coming through your mouth (Romans
10:17). I use
this same principle to build my faith. Meditate and say what God
has said about an issue until you have entered the rest of
God: believing (Hebrews 4:11-12). Because faith
comes by hearing, the mind begins to believe the mouth and
the heart and then begins to relay the thoughts that the
human spirit receives from the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians
2:10-12). As
this process continues the mind becomes a weigh station for the
body to receive from the spirit. Faith to act on the word of
God is produce in the continual process of bombarding the mind
with what God's Word says about an issue (Philippians
4:8-9). I
believe that the mind is soon filled with the word and the
confession begins to take on reality (Proverbs
22:17-18). You
will believe God.
You are being renewed in the spirit of your mind
(Ephesians 4:23), and being transformed by the
renewing of your mind so that you can prove what is that
good, acceptable and perfect will of God (Roman 12:2). Reasoning with the
Word of God (Isaiah 1:18) causes faith to be built in you
causing you to become aware of the ability to operate like
God (Colossians 1:26-28). This process
enables you to become so much like God that the word
(Colossians 3:2-3) begins to take the place of the
issues. Your
will becomes the Father's will and you will began to speak the
Word into the issues (Luke 17:6, Romans 10:6). Knowing that
no Word from God shall be void of power, the word spoken by
the believer will accomplish (in the issue) that which was
spoken (Isaiah 55:10-11).
This is Sonship at its best: A faith relationship with
the Father, Son and Holy Ghost that makes the unseen real (John
14:21). You are
now spiritual minded: thinking and acting like
God.
Expecting to overcome keeps the faith activated against
the issue until the desired result is accomplished (Luke
21:19). Now I
understand the faith operation (1 John 5:20). Pray: Thank you Father in the name
of Jesus for making this word real in my life (2 Corinthians
2:14)
