Faith Alive

hebrews 11:1 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about what we cannot see. Hebrews 11:6 and it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to Him must believe that God exists and that He rewards those who sincerely seek Him.

faith- defined as sold-out radical belief that what you ask will come to pass. It's more then just a word, but it's a lifestyle that should set us apart from the world. it's learning God's word and knowing that what he says is not only real but relavent to today's world. Faith is a different standard to live by, something that says when there appears to be no possible way- through Christ it is possible.

I long for the day when I can truly say I'm living by faith. Sold-out radical faith when God's word is made more real then man's word. That I no longer walk apart from His authority- where my shadow heals those it touches. The battle of the mind is real, and the victory is found in His word alone.

what do I mean by this? if you are sick- the doctors don't have the final authority over your health- God does. if you are financially struggling- the money is not the final authority- get your house in order- research God's word to find out what He says about your circumstances and begin to confess it over your life. faith is built one brick at a time, and the foundation is the word of God. His word is alive, active and ready for today. It's time to have the God-kind-of-faith. awaken in your heartwho you are in him1

Time to Awaken

Don't you ever wonder what it would be like if we truly lived in the fullness of heaven on earth? If we ever truly walked in the power and authority given to us through Jesus Christ? If we spoke His word as if our lives depends on it?

It's crazy to think about... the bible is so full of verses, promises, authority and yet we don't normally walk in it. isaiah says by His stripes we were healed... He sent His word to heal our diseases and to save us from destruction. That we can have abundant life and nothing can take that away from us.

We were never intended to live our lives with sickness and disease. We were never meant to live in poverty or to struggle with our finances. Or to struggle to find shelter each night that is safe and full of joy! but yet, here we are struggling, lacking the victory, and not living with heaven on earth.

I am talking about living in the proper authority bestowed upon us through our Savior Jesus Christ. I am talking about speaking as if our lives depends on it to the solution and not the problem. I'm challenging each one of you to look at your lives, to research His word and to speak in faith rather than as the world does- no more destructive words... no more half hearted attempts at living right... no more playing games. we are a chosen generation, a pecular people. Live according to His word... come on- awaken! Find life and purpose and allow His word to ultimately change your life.
