## Transcript

[0:00] Hallelujah. We thank God you've tuned into this message by David Entry at Caris Church.
[0:06] No hand can help you with the fulfillment of your destiny but the Word of God.
[0:10] May God's hand align you further into your destiny through this word.
[0:17] Let's pray. Father, thank you so much for the privilege to hear your word.
[0:21] I pray that you guide my thoughts, guard my heart, govern my ways.
[0:35] As I speak forth your word, may the focus of the teaching be you and nothing else.
[0:44] So, our faith will come alive. Our encounters with you will be definite.
[0:53] And our testimonies will be undeniable. All to your glory. In Jesus' name. Amen.
[1:01] Hallelujah.
[1:05] In Romans chapter 1. Romans chapter 1 verse 16 and 17.
[1:10] For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth, to the Jew first and also the Greek.
[1:23] For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the just shall live by faith.
[1:32] Here ends the reading of God's word. Praise God.
[1:36] Praise God.
[1:37] Now, if you read the NIV version of it. Let's look at the NIV from the screen.
[1:44] It says that, I am not ashamed of the gospel because the gospel is the power of God for salvation of everyone who believes.
[1:59] Everyone who believes for their salvation, the gospel is the power of God for salvation.
[2:08] So, everyone who believes, then it says that for the Jews, then the Gentiles.
[2:16] Why?
[2:17] Why?
[2:18] The next verse.
[2:19] NIV.
[2:20] Because in the gospel, a certain type of righteousness.
[2:26] Righteousness.
[2:27] Righteousness.
[2:30] For in the gospel, a righteousness from God is revealed.
[2:36] A righteousness that is by faith from first to last.
[2:47] By, this righteousness is by faith from first to last.
[2:57] I'm talking to you about faith from first to last.
[3:02] Faith from first to last.
[3:03] Faith from first to last.
[3:07] The reason why people backslide is they run out of faith.
[3:12] Some people, first week of the year, they have run out of faith.
[3:17] Yeah.
[3:18] Some of you remember, you came to give your life to Christ together with some other friends.
[3:23] Some, instead of being at faith seminar, they are at a foundation.
[3:27] Why?
[3:28] Please.
[3:29] When people run away from church, don't judge them.
[3:34] Don't judge them.
[3:36] It's a faith problem.
[3:39] Sometimes they run out of.
[3:41] There are people here who, throughout this year, you missed so many offering and tithes.
[3:48] Can I come close?
[3:50] No, no, no.
[3:51] No, no.
[3:52] No, no.
[3:53] No, no.
[3:54] No, no.
[3:55] No, no.
[3:56] You are operating in low battery mode.
[4:01] Because your faith has taken a hit.
[4:06] In first Timothy chapter one, verse 19, it talks about some people have made shipwreck of their faith.
[4:13] So there are people who have had shipwreck of their faith.
[4:18] Having faith and good conscience, which some, having rejected, concerning faith, have suffered shipwreck.
[4:28] But that will not be your testimony any longer.
[4:31] But this whole thing, the hinge of relationship with God, the hinge of godliness, or the door of godliness, the door of relationship with God, hinges on faith.
[4:48] If your faith is off, your door is down.
[4:53] You can be screaming, Amen, Amen, Amen, and it doesn't mean squat.
[4:58] Because it's bankrupt of faith.
[5:03] He said, for from the gospel, a righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness which is by faith from first to last.
[5:18] Then he said, just ask this, it's not something new.
[5:21] This faith life is not new.
[5:24] Faith life is God's way of living.
[5:29] What makes you think, faith is not New Testament philosophy.
[5:34] Faith is a God thing.
[5:37] Faith is a God thing.
[5:41] So, you read Hebrews, and practically, Hebrews chapter 11 actually doesn't make mention of people in the New Testament.
[5:50] He's only talking about people.
[5:53] So, if faith was a New Testament thing, the biggest chapter of faith in the New Testament doesn't mention New Testament folks.
[6:01] It only focuses on the Old Testament folks.
[6:04] And it's just telling us that, listen, we are on the side of the Testaments, but those who were before us, they made it by faith.
[6:13] Because when it comes to God, it only takes faith.
[6:18] Faith!
[6:19] If your faith is weak, your God is weak.
[6:24] If your faith is strong, God is strong in your life.
[6:30] The strength of God in your life is at the mercy of the state of your faith.
[6:36] It's so, he says that, for from it, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith, by faith from first to last.
[6:54] As it is written, the just shall live.
[6:58] So, it takes us to the Old Testament.
[7:01] It's not a new document.
[7:03] And faith is not old fashioned.
[7:07] There are some things that can never be old fashioned.
[7:11] Your circulatory system can never be old fashioned.
[7:14] Your digestive system is not old fashioned.
[7:17] Your respiratory system is not old fashioned.
[7:20] Your reproductive system is not old fashioned.
[7:25] It's not old fashioned.
[7:26] In other words, many years ago, 2,000, 5,000 years ago, or 3,000 years ago, the way they were reproducing is the same way.
[7:39] The way their nervous system was working is the same way.
[7:44] Medicine has changed, but the systems haven't changed.
[7:48] The same human beings, as old fashioned as their mouth might be, it hasn't changed.
[7:54] It's still the same way.
[7:56] It is called nature.
[7:59] In the same way, God, as old fashioned as faith might seem, it has never changed.
[8:07] You want to deal with God, better get into faith.
[8:11] Use your faith gear.
[8:14] You don't have an option.
[8:15] You either walk by faith or die like anybody.
[8:20] We heard Pastor was talking about how you have to fight to walk by faith.
[8:26] Fight to stay in faith.
[8:28] Because if it's going to be God, then it has to be by faith.
[8:33] 2026, as we get ready to enter the year.
[8:36] They that have strong faith in God are those who have the supernatural testimonies.
[8:45] So we see how essential faith is so much so that Christianity is called the faith.
[8:55] The faith.
[8:57] The faith.
[8:58] Because it is faith from first to last.
[9:01] We are saved by faith.
[9:06] We are justified by faith.
[9:09] We stand by faith.
[9:12] We walk by faith.
[9:15] We understand by faith.
[9:19] We live by faith.
[9:21] This whole thing is faith from first to last.
[9:27] It's faith.
[9:29] That's why we preach.
[9:32] It said, Romans chapter 10, the word of faith which we preach.
[9:37] It said, what sayeth it from verses 6, 7, 8?
[9:40] Romans 10, 6, 7.
[9:42] It said, what sayeth it?
[9:44] The word is near you.
[9:46] Where?
[9:47] In your heart.
[9:48] What word are you talking about?
[9:49] The word of faith which we preach.
[9:53] Where?
[9:54] We preach it but the thing is in your heart and in your mouth.
[9:59] The word we preach.
[10:01] The word of faith.
[10:03] So it's called the word of faith.
[10:07] It's a word of faith.
[10:08] Word that brings faith.
[10:10] In Galatians, today we are reading Galatians chapter 3.
[10:13] And it's a chapter of faith.
[10:16] Very beautiful.
[10:17] I was reading and I said, God, you set us up.
[10:20] Because you care that much about us.
[10:23] Little did we know.
[10:25] I was reading Galatians chapter 3 and I could tell.
[10:28] It's talking about faith, faith, faith, faith, faith, faith.
[10:31] In the verse 2.
[10:33] Yeah, faith from first to last.
[10:34] In the verse 2, it talks about the hearing of faith.
[10:38] The hearing of faith.
[10:39] So when you study scriptures very carefully, you will see different, different, different verbs or adverbs used to describe faith.
[10:49] So of course, it talks about the word of faith.
[10:52] We hear the hearing of faith.
[10:53] In 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 13, we hear the spirit of faith.
[10:57] In Romans chapter 3 verse 27, we hear the law of faith.
[11:00] So we keep hearing of faith.
[11:01] So we keep hearing of faith, of faith.
[11:03] In Ephesians chapter 6 verse 16, we hear the shield of faith.
[11:08] We hear that.
[11:09] And then in Romans chapter 4 verse 11 and verse 13, we hear the, I like that much.
[11:19] I like that.
[11:20] The righteousness of faith.
[11:22] The righteousness of faith.
[11:23] The righteousness of faith.
[11:24] Verse 13, the righteousness.
[11:25] It talks about the righteous, through the righteousness of faith.
[11:31] The righteousness of faith.
[11:32] The righteousness of faith.
[11:50] that text, the righteousness
[11:51] of faith. When you look at the text, it says
[11:53] that for the promise that
[11:55] talking about Abraham, that he should be
[11:57] the heir of the world,
[11:59] was not to Abraham or
[12:01] to his seed through the law,
[12:04] but through the
[12:05] righteousness of faith.
[12:08] God gave him a promise.
[12:10] What did he do to merit the promise?
[12:11] It's not because he was behaving right,
[12:14] but he was believing
[12:15] right.
[12:17] He believed right. God said,
[12:20] I'm not looking for behavior because
[12:21] we
[12:24] had one of our
[12:25] pastors talking about how
[12:27] Abraham didn't have it right from the beginning.
[12:31] So if God comes
[12:32] to look for rightness from the beginning,
[12:34] you'll be disqualified.
[12:37] Righteousness
[12:38] or right believing
[12:40] will all be, right
[12:42] behaving will disqualify
[12:44] all of us.
[12:46] But God comes to Abraham
[12:47] and asks, looks for
[12:49] right believing.
[12:51] So in Genesis chapter 15, verse 6,
[12:54] Bible says that,
[12:55] and Abraham believed God,
[12:57] he believed
[12:57] in the Lord,
[12:59] and God said,
[12:59] this believing,
[13:00] you haven't done anything,
[13:02] but the mere fact that you believe,
[13:04] it has been accounted to you
[13:05] for righteousness.
[13:07] Righteousness here means
[13:08] right standing with God.
[13:10] You have done everything right.
[13:11] The fact that he believed God,
[13:15] it has,
[13:15] by,
[13:16] look at the terminology,
[13:18] it was accounted,
[13:20] it was credited to him
[13:23] as someone who has always
[13:24] been behaving right.
[13:26] Just by believing,
[13:27] so he believed God.
[13:29] Somebody say,
[13:30] I believe God.
[13:30] I believe God.
[13:31] Say,
[13:32] I believe God.
[13:33] I believe God.
[13:33] So you heard our speaker
[13:35] say that,
[13:36] Rahab had not done
[13:37] a lot of things right,
[13:38] but she just believed God,
[13:41] and she became righteous
[13:42] before God.
[13:45] She just believed.
[13:47] How did you end up here?
[13:49] I believed.
[13:51] Rahab,
[13:51] what,
[13:51] Rahab,
[13:52] who's that?
[13:52] Rahab what?
[13:53] Rahab what?
[13:54] What is Rahab doing
[13:55] in the choir?
[14:01] Rahab is an usher.
[14:03] Rahab is in Bible school?
[14:08] Rahab is preaching?
[14:11] How?
[14:13] Rahab,
[14:14] you have to show us
[14:14] your secret.
[14:15] What did you do?
[14:16] What are the things you did?
[14:17] I didn't do anything,
[14:18] but how come you are
[14:19] in the choir now?
[14:20] I believed God.
[14:24] I believe.
[14:25] Oh,
[14:25] do I have a believer
[14:26] in the house?
[14:27] I believe God.
[14:28] Do I have a believer
[14:29] in the house?
[14:30] I believe God.
[14:32] So you see,
[14:32] when it comes to what,
[14:33] God has to do for you
[14:35] and God has promised
[14:35] to do for you,
[14:37] it's on the account
[14:38] of the righteousness
[14:40] of faith.
[14:42] So you can see clearly
[14:43] in Galatians chapter 3,
[14:47] verse 6,
[14:47] it says that
[14:48] it was,
[14:48] he believed God,
[14:49] it was accounted,
[14:50] and Abraham believed God,
[14:52] and it was accounted
[14:53] to him for,
[14:54] it was repeated
[14:55] even more than
[14:56] the just shall live by faith.
[14:57] he believed God
[14:59] in Romans chapter 4,
[15:02] verse 3,
[15:03] he believed God,
[15:04] and it was accounted,
[15:04] look at it,
[15:05] Romans chapter 4,
[15:06] for what does the scripture say?
[15:07] Abraham believed God,
[15:09] and it was accounted to him
[15:10] for righteousness.
[15:12] Look at verse 22,
[15:13] it's replicating scripture,
[15:15] verse 22,
[15:16] Romans chapter 4,
[15:16] verse 22,
[15:17] it says,
[15:17] therefore,
[15:18] it was accounted
[15:19] to him
[15:20] for righteousness.
[15:21] in James chapter 2,
[15:23] verse 23,
[15:25] Abraham believed God,
[15:26] and it was,
[15:27] James chapter 2,
[15:28] and the scriptures
[15:29] was fulfilled,
[15:30] which says,
[15:31] Abraham believed God,
[15:32] and it was accounted
[15:33] to him
[15:34] for righteousness,
[15:35] and he actually
[15:35] went further,
[15:36] calling him
[15:37] he's a friend of God.
[15:39] God said,
[15:40] that's my body,
[15:40] body,
[15:41] what has he done right?
[15:42] He just believed.
[15:44] He just believed.
[15:45] We tied.
[15:45] God said,
[15:46] we tied.
[15:46] Me and Abraham,
[15:47] we tied.
[15:47] We cool, man.
[15:48] We cool.
[15:49] He's my body,
[15:50] body.
[15:50] He's my body,
[15:52] but God calls
[15:52] somebody his friend
[15:53] on what grounds?
[15:55] Because he believed
[15:57] God.
[16:00] Do you understand
[16:01] why Satan
[16:02] is trying to fight
[16:03] your faith?
[16:05] The easiest way
[16:06] he has to fight
[16:06] your faith
[16:07] is cause you
[16:07] to hear the wrong stuff.
[16:10] Because faith
[16:11] is always
[16:12] at the mercy
[16:13] of hearing.
[16:15] So the more
[16:16] Satan bombards you
[16:18] with wrong information,
[16:19] wrong information,
[16:21] Satan knows
[16:22] how to trap you
[16:23] with the wrong stuff
[16:27] to distract you.
[16:28] Even at critical moments
[16:30] when you need
[16:30] to receive a word,
[16:32] suddenly you begin
[16:33] to see
[16:34] he knows the news
[16:36] you like.
[16:37] Oh, come on.
[16:38] Some of you
[16:40] don't like news.
[16:41] You just like documentary.
[16:43] So Satan has a way
[16:44] of distracting us
[16:46] and causing us
[16:47] to veer off.
[16:49] But,
[16:49] Bible calls this thing
[16:50] the righteousness
[16:51] of faith.
[16:53] In other words,
[16:54] believing God
[16:55] and appearing
[16:56] right before him
[16:57] just purely
[16:58] on the ground
[16:59] of your believing.
[17:01] Not,
[17:02] you haven't done anything.
[17:03] That's how come
[17:04] a thief
[17:05] can die
[17:05] on the cross
[17:06] and make it
[17:07] to heaven.
[17:08] because he didn't,
[17:10] listen,
[17:11] on the cross
[17:12] your hands
[17:13] are pinned.
[17:14] Your legs
[17:15] are,
[17:15] you can't do anything.
[17:17] All you can do
[17:17] is to talk.
[17:18] You see,
[17:20] faith works
[17:22] as long as
[17:23] they didn't crucify
[17:24] his mouth.
[17:28] He can be saved
[17:30] by the righteousness
[17:32] of faith.
[17:34] The righteousness
[17:35] that comes
[17:36] by faith.
[17:38] Believe it.
[17:40] The righteousness
[17:40] that comes
[17:41] so we can see
[17:42] righteousness of faith.
[17:43] Listen,
[17:45] faith
[17:45] is when it comes
[17:46] to walking
[17:47] with God
[17:48] is,
[17:50] I've always
[17:50] believed
[17:51] is foundational.
[17:56] But I realize
[17:57] that it's not
[17:57] just foundational.
[17:59] It's the foundation,
[18:00] it's the middle,
[18:01] it's the end,
[18:02] it's everything.
[18:03] It's the realm.
[18:05] It's the,
[18:06] it's the,
[18:06] it's the basis
[18:07] on which God
[18:08] can relate with you
[18:09] and basis
[18:09] on which he continues
[18:10] to relate with you
[18:11] and basis
[18:11] on which he can
[18:12] give you attention,
[18:14] the basis
[18:14] on which he can smile.
[18:15] God can smile
[18:16] over a life
[18:17] that is void
[18:17] of faith.
[18:21] It's not void
[18:22] of actions.
[18:24] No actions.
[18:25] You can copy
[18:25] somebody's action
[18:27] but fail to copy
[18:28] their faith.
[18:29] But you can
[18:30] copy somebody's
[18:32] faith
[18:33] and you,
[18:33] it will produce
[18:34] its own action
[18:35] in your life.
[18:36] So if someone
[18:37] mimics your action,
[18:38] they are making
[18:39] a mistake
[18:39] because it's an action
[18:41] that is born
[18:41] out of faith
[18:42] and for them
[18:43] to have the
[18:44] result that action
[18:45] gets,
[18:46] they need to go
[18:47] to the source
[18:47] of the action
[18:48] which is the faith
[18:49] behind the action.
[18:51] The righteousness
[18:51] of faith.
[18:52] Faith
[18:52] from first
[18:54] to last.
[18:56] As it is written,
[18:57] the just
[18:57] shall live
[18:58] by faith.
[19:00] Habakkuk chapter 2
[19:01] verse 4,
[19:01] the just shall live
[19:02] by his faith.
[19:04] Romans chapter 1
[19:05] verse 17,
[19:05] the just shall live
[19:06] by faith.
[19:07] Galatians chapter 3.
[19:08] Today,
[19:09] Galatians chapter 3.
[19:10] Galatians chapter 3
[19:11] is supernatural.
[19:12] I'm telling you.
[19:13] Today's reading
[19:13] is so supernatural.
[19:14] Galatians chapter 3
[19:15] verse 11,
[19:17] the just shall live
[19:17] by faith.
[19:18] And Hebrews 10
[19:18] 38,
[19:20] the just shall live
[19:21] by faith.
[19:22] We live by faith.
[19:23] We walk by faith.
[19:24] We do everything
[19:26] by faith.
[19:26] I want to quickly
[19:27] talk about
[19:28] understanding
[19:29] what we talk about.
[19:30] Since we live
[19:31] by faith,
[19:31] it's very important
[19:32] to understand
[19:33] this whole subject
[19:34] of faith.
[19:36] Faith.
[19:37] Galatians chapter 3
[19:38] verse 6
[19:39] how Bible calls
[19:41] Abraham,
[19:42] that he believed
[19:43] God to us,
[19:43] accounted to him
[19:44] for righteousness.
[19:46] Verse 7,
[19:47] Abraham is made mention
[19:48] of.
[19:49] Verse 8,
[19:50] he mentions Abraham.
[19:51] Verse 9,
[19:52] he mentions Abraham.
[19:53] Verse 14,
[19:53] he mentions Abraham.
[19:55] Verse 16,
[19:55] he mentions Abraham.
[19:57] Verse 18,
[19:58] he mentions Abraham.
[19:59] Verse 29,
[20:01] he mentions Abraham.
[20:01] Chapter 4,
[20:02] verse 22,
[20:03] he mentions Abraham.
[20:04] Abraham becomes
[20:05] a very dominant person
[20:07] when he comes
[20:07] to the subject
[20:08] of faith.
[20:08] So he's in
[20:10] Galatians chapter 3,
[20:11] Galatians chapter 4,
[20:12] Romans chapter 4,
[20:13] Romans chapter 5.
[20:14] Abraham is heavily
[20:16] represented
[20:16] when he comes
[20:17] to the subject
[20:18] of New Testament faith
[20:19] even though he wasn't
[20:20] the only one
[20:21] who worked by faith.
[20:22] Because when you study
[20:23] the scriptures
[20:24] very carefully,
[20:24] Hebrews chapter 11,
[20:25] the whole of faith,
[20:26] Abraham was not
[20:27] the first to mention.
[20:29] He mentioned them
[20:30] in chronological order
[20:32] who came first.
[20:34] So he mentions
[20:34] that Enoch,
[20:35] by faith,
[20:36] by faith,
[20:37] the elders obtained
[20:38] a good report.
[20:39] By Abel,
[20:40] then he said,
[20:41] Abel offered
[20:42] unto God
[20:42] a more excellent
[20:43] sacrifice.
[20:45] Then from Abel,
[20:46] he goes on
[20:47] to Enoch walk
[20:47] by faith,
[20:48] a walk with God
[20:49] because without faith
[20:50] it's impossible
[20:50] to please God.
[20:51] Then he went
[20:52] to Noah.
[20:52] Then he went
[20:53] to Abraham.
[20:54] So before Abraham,
[20:55] there were others
[20:55] who were walking
[20:56] by faith.
[20:56] But what is it
[20:57] about Abraham?
[20:58] Abraham,
[20:59] Abraham's faith
[21:00] was so unique
[21:01] because it's the faith
[21:02] that God said
[21:03] that this is what
[21:04] actually depicts salvation.
[21:06] Righteousness.
[21:08] Now,
[21:08] we heard it.
[21:09] Abraham didn't start
[21:10] from big faith.
[21:13] Abraham's faith
[21:14] was a very interesting faith
[21:15] because,
[21:17] brothers and sisters,
[21:18] that is where I feel
[21:19] we come in.
[21:22] Now watch this.
[21:23] In Galatians,
[21:24] today's reading,
[21:24] Galatians chapter 3,
[21:27] verse 7 particularly,
[21:29] it talks about
[21:30] those of us
[21:31] who have the faith
[21:33] of Abraham.
[21:33] Look,
[21:33] it says that,
[21:34] therefore,
[21:35] know that only
[21:37] those who are
[21:37] of faith
[21:38] are the sons
[21:40] of Abraham.
[21:42] Look at verse 9.
[21:43] It says,
[21:43] so then those
[21:44] who are of faith
[21:46] are blessed with...
[21:48] It's like we get
[21:49] tied,
[21:50] we get connected,
[21:51] we get tuned
[21:52] into Abraham
[21:53] once we come
[21:54] into faith.
[21:55] What is it
[21:56] about Abraham
[21:57] that should tell us
[21:58] about this faith
[21:58] thing we are
[21:59] talking about?
[22:00] Abraham,
[22:01] it seems,
[22:01] Bible recognizes
[22:03] him as the
[22:04] father of faith
[22:05] even though
[22:06] faith didn't
[22:06] start with him
[22:07] first.
[22:08] Abraham offered
[22:09] a more excellent
[22:09] sacrifice by faith.
[22:12] The first sacrifice
[22:13] in the Bible
[22:13] was faith-based.
[22:16] The first sacrifice
[22:17] of history
[22:18] was faith-determined.
[22:20] So Abraham
[22:21] was not the first.
[22:22] But Abraham's faith
[22:23] was...
[22:25] We can identify
[22:26] with this so much
[22:27] in what way?
[22:27] Abraham was living
[22:30] in Mesopotamia
[22:31] in the land
[22:33] of the childies,
[22:35] in the land
[22:36] of the air
[22:37] of the childies.
[22:39] According to
[22:40] Acts chapter 7
[22:42] verse 2,
[22:44] and God
[22:45] appeared to Abraham.
[22:47] Bible says that
[22:48] the God
[22:49] of glory
[22:50] appeared
[22:51] to our
[22:52] father
[22:52] Abraham.
[22:54] God of glory
[22:55] appeared to Abraham
[22:56] our father
[22:57] or our father
[22:58] Abraham
[22:58] when he
[22:59] was in
[23:00] Mesopotamia
[23:00] before he
[23:01] dwelt in
[23:01] Haran.
[23:03] Many years.
[23:04] Who started
[23:05] this whole thing
[23:05] with Abraham?
[23:06] God.
[23:09] From first
[23:10] to last,
[23:12] God
[23:12] starts faith.
[23:15] God
[23:16] so that
[23:17] you can say
[23:17] as for me,
[23:18] you know,
[23:19] I wish I had faith
[23:19] like somebody.
[23:20] Everybody,
[23:21] if God is going
[23:21] to bless you,
[23:22] he will
[23:23] donate you
[23:23] with faith.
[23:24] so in
[23:26] Romans chapter
[23:27] 12 verse 3,
[23:28] he said,
[23:28] every one of us
[23:29] a measure
[23:30] of faith
[23:30] is given.
[23:31] He said,
[23:32] for I say,
[23:33] through the grace
[23:33] given to me,
[23:34] to everyone
[23:35] who is amongst
[23:36] you,
[23:37] not to think
[23:37] of himself
[23:38] more highly
[23:39] than he ought
[23:39] to think,
[23:40] but to think
[23:41] so badly
[23:42] as God
[23:42] has dealt
[23:43] with each
[23:43] one,
[23:44] a measure
[23:45] of faith.
[23:47] If you are
[23:48] saved,
[23:49] God gave
[23:50] you faith.
[23:50] Ephesians
[23:55] chapter 2
[23:56] verse 8,
[23:57] for by grace
[23:58] are you
[23:58] saved
[23:58] through faith.
[24:00] So if you
[24:00] are seated
[24:01] here,
[24:01] that means
[24:02] God gave
[24:02] you a measure
[24:03] of faith
[24:03] you can
[24:04] build on,
[24:05] a measure
[24:06] of faith
[24:06] you can
[24:06] build on.
[24:07] God,
[24:08] faith actually
[24:09] starts with
[24:10] God himself.
[24:13] The Bible
[24:14] faith
[24:14] didn't start
[24:15] with man.
[24:17] The Bible
[24:17] state,
[24:18] that's the kind
[24:18] of faith
[24:19] Abraham had.
[24:19] Listen brothers
[24:20] and sisters,
[24:21] you might not
[24:22] realize that
[24:23] Abraham's faith
[24:24] was built
[24:25] on appearances
[24:26] of God.
[24:29] God appeared
[24:30] to Abraham
[24:30] several times,
[24:31] you know.
[24:32] So before
[24:33] Genesis chapter
[24:34] 12,
[24:35] verse 1,
[24:36] 2,
[24:36] 3,
[24:37] before God
[24:37] has said
[24:37] to Abraham,
[24:38] move out
[24:38] of your
[24:39] father's house,
[24:39] God has
[24:40] already appeared
[24:40] to him
[24:41] according to
[24:42] Acts chapter
[24:42] 7,
[24:43] verse 2.
[24:43] God has
[24:44] appeared to
[24:45] him when
[24:45] he was
[24:46] living in
[24:46] Mesopotamia.
[24:47] God appeared
[24:48] and Genesis
[24:49] chapter 12,
[24:50] verse 1,
[24:50] 2,
[24:50] 3,
[24:51] God appeared.
[24:52] Genesis
[24:52] chapter 12,
[24:53] verse 7,
[24:54] God appeared.
[24:55] Genesis
[24:55] chapter 13,
[24:56] verse 14,
[24:57] 15,
[24:57] 16,
[24:58] 17,
[24:58] God appeared.
[24:59] Genesis
[25:00] chapter 15,
[25:01] verse 1,
[25:01] 2,
[25:02] 3,
[25:02] God appeared.
[25:03] God kept
[25:04] appearing to
[25:05] Abraham.
[25:05] God kept
[25:06] appearing to
[25:07] Abraham.
[25:08] God kept
[25:08] appearing.
[25:09] That is why
[25:09] God brought
[25:10] you here.
[25:11] God connected
[25:11] you to this
[25:12] place so he
[25:13] can appear
[25:14] to you.
[25:15] God kept
[25:18] appearing.
[25:19] God kept
[25:20] appearing.
[25:20] God kept
[25:21] appearing.
[25:21] God kept
[25:22] appearing.
[25:22] That became
[25:23] the reason
[25:24] for the
[25:24] robust faith
[25:25] Abraham had.
[25:26] God appeared.
[25:27] See,
[25:27] it's in the
[25:28] scriptures.
[25:29] God appeared
[25:29] to Abraham
[25:30] multiple times.
[25:31] Multiple times.
[25:32] So if we are
[25:33] talking about
[25:34] faith from
[25:35] first to last,
[25:36] it is the
[25:36] kind of
[25:37] Bible faith
[25:38] you are talking
[25:39] about is the
[25:40] faith that comes
[25:41] based on what
[25:42] God himself
[25:43] starts with you.
[25:44] It's God.
[25:45] Faith comes
[25:46] from God.
[25:48] Bible faith
[25:48] is God
[25:50] born.
[25:51] So if someone
[25:52] wants to develop
[25:53] Bible, listen,
[25:54] not exposing
[25:56] yourself to
[25:56] good preaching,
[25:58] Christian fellowship,
[25:59] you will not
[25:59] grow faith.
[26:00] You can't say
[26:01] to others,
[26:01] okay, you know
[26:02] what, it's not
[26:03] everybody who
[26:04] goes to the
[26:04] gym to keep
[26:06] fit.
[26:07] Yes.
[26:07] So it's
[26:09] actually not
[26:11] everybody goes
[26:11] to the gym
[26:12] to keep fit.
[26:13] Others do
[26:14] a lot of
[26:14] walking.
[26:15] Others have
[26:16] their own
[26:16] stuff at
[26:17] home.
[26:17] They do
[26:17] their own
[26:18] training at
[26:18] home and
[26:19] different,
[26:19] different things.
[26:20] What am I
[26:20] trying to say
[26:21] that when it
[26:22] comes to
[26:22] God, the
[26:24] only way to
[26:25] start by
[26:26] faith is
[26:27] first of all
[26:28] expose yourself
[26:29] to a godly
[26:29] environment.
[26:31] You need,
[26:32] it's non-negotiable,
[26:34] you need a
[26:35] godly environment
[26:36] to build a
[26:37] godly faith.
[26:37] You can't live
[26:38] a normal life
[26:39] and walk by
[26:39] faith.
[26:40] you can't
[26:42] because faith
[26:44] is not
[26:45] always
[26:45] repository.
[26:47] Faith is
[26:48] not always
[26:48] resident.
[26:50] Faith,
[26:51] Romans chapter
[26:52] 11,
[26:52] sorry,
[26:53] chapter 10
[26:53] verse 17
[26:53] said,
[26:54] faith comes.
[26:56] So that
[26:56] means faith
[26:57] isn't there.
[26:58] You have to,
[26:59] there is a way,
[27:00] a system to
[27:01] get it coming
[27:02] in.
[27:03] You have to
[27:03] put that
[27:04] system in place
[27:05] to keep
[27:06] faith coming
[27:07] in the
[27:07] coming year.
[27:09] Listen,
[27:09] you are
[27:10] responsible for
[27:10] the outcome
[27:11] of your life.
[27:13] Stop thinking
[27:14] your pastor
[27:14] is,
[27:15] your pastor
[27:15] isn't.
[27:17] You are.
[27:19] You are.
[27:22] Thank God
[27:22] for mobility
[27:24] of information.
[27:25] Nowadays,
[27:26] you can watch
[27:27] many messages
[27:28] on your phone,
[27:29] you can watch
[27:29] messages,
[27:30] you don't need
[27:31] a television,
[27:32] all you need,
[27:33] you don't even
[27:33] need a radio,
[27:34] all you need
[27:35] is a phone,
[27:35] a phone,
[27:36] a phone,
[27:36] a phone,
[27:37] a phone,
[27:38] and you just
[27:39] click,
[27:39] there are so
[27:40] many platforms
[27:41] and you have
[27:42] to take
[27:43] the responsibility.
[27:44] You are
[27:44] believing God
[27:44] for a miracle
[27:45] baby and
[27:46] you are not
[27:47] listening to
[27:47] messages
[27:47] concerning that.
[27:50] You are
[27:50] believing God
[27:51] for miracle
[27:51] jobs,
[27:52] you are
[27:53] believing God
[27:53] for a miracle
[27:54] ministry.
[27:55] How do I
[27:56] know you are
[27:56] so serious?
[27:57] I have to
[27:58] just check
[27:58] what you've
[27:58] been listening.
[28:01] When I
[28:01] get,
[28:02] how can
[28:02] someone say
[28:03] I have
[28:03] a special
[28:04] medical exam,
[28:05] next week
[28:06] I really
[28:07] want to
[28:08] pass,
[28:08] and we
[28:08] come to
[28:09] your house
[28:09] and you're
[28:09] only playing
[28:10] video games.
[28:12] For the
[28:13] past two
[28:14] months,
[28:14] every time
[28:15] playing video
[28:16] games,
[28:16] you are
[28:16] not reading
[28:16] them,
[28:17] and yet
[28:17] you want
[28:18] to have
[28:19] a stance.
[28:19] You can
[28:20] see somebody
[28:21] and know
[28:21] that this
[28:22] person is
[28:22] not going
[28:22] anywhere.
[28:24] But the
[28:24] things they
[28:25] give themselves
[28:25] to,
[28:26] didn't we
[28:27] see in
[28:27] scripture,
[28:28] Paul told
[28:28] Timothy,
[28:29] give yourself
[28:30] only to
[28:30] these things.
[28:31] 1 Timothy
[28:32] chapter 4.
[28:32] said give
[28:34] yourself,
[28:34] from verse
[28:34] 14,
[28:35] said give
[28:35] yourself.
[28:36] What you
[28:37] give yourself
[28:38] to will
[28:38] determine what
[28:40] comes out
[28:41] of your
[28:41] life.
[28:43] Stop
[28:43] making others,
[28:44] listen,
[28:45] you are
[28:45] old enough
[28:46] now.
[28:47] you are
[28:49] old,
[28:50] you are
[28:50] of age.
[28:52] You are
[28:53] of age.
[28:55] As long
[28:55] as you
[28:55] are not
[28:56] under 10
[28:56] years old.
[28:58] You are
[28:59] of age.
[29:01] Stop
[29:01] blaming your
[29:02] dad's
[29:02] absence.
[29:03] Stop
[29:04] blaming your
[29:04] mom's
[29:05] absence.
[29:06] Stop

[29:07] mom's
[29:07] overworking.
[29:09] Stop
[29:09] blaming what
[29:10] happened to
[29:10] you.
[29:11] Stop
[29:11] blaming the
[29:13] government.
[29:13] Stop
[29:13] blaming the
[29:14] government.
[29:14] Yeah,
[29:14] yeah,
[29:15] yeah.
[29:15] stop
[29:19] blaming the
[29:20] budget.
[29:24] Stop
[29:24] blaming rich
[29:25] people.
[29:31] Don't do
[29:32] that.
[29:34] Blame your
[29:34] lack of
[29:35] faith.
[29:36] Blame your
[29:36] lack of
[29:37] faith.
[29:37] Blame your
[29:38] lack because
[29:39] the same
[29:40] Lord is
[29:41] rich unto
[29:42] all.
[29:44] Unto all.
[29:45] same
[29:46] Lord.
[29:47] Same
[29:47] Lord.

[29:49] skin
[29:50] color.
[29:52] Stop
[29:52] blaming your
[29:53] gender.
[29:56] Stop
[29:56] blaming things
[29:57] that are not
[29:58] responsible for
[29:59] where you
[29:59] are.
[30:01] People have
[30:02] double what
[30:04] you say if
[30:04] you are
[30:05] claiming if
[30:05] I had
[30:06] only a
[30:08] little of
[30:08] it.
[30:09] Some
[30:09] people's
[30:09] own is
[30:10] worse times
[30:11] two of
[30:11] yours and
[30:12] they are
[30:12] doing far
[30:13] better.
[30:14] the problem
[30:15] is maybe
[30:16] with all
[30:17] humility and
[30:18] respect please
[30:18] permit me
[30:19] maybe you
[30:20] are just
[30:20] lazy.
[30:25] Physical
[30:26] exercise
[30:26] profits
[30:27] little.
[30:29] But
[30:30] spiritual
[30:30] things.
[30:31] You have
[30:31] to exercise
[30:32] yourself
[30:33] spiritually to
[30:34] build your
[30:35] faith.
[30:36] Other than
[30:36] that you
[30:37] will be
[30:37] blaming
[30:37] witches.
[30:37] you will
[30:40] be blaming
[30:40] bad
[30:41] lecturers.
[30:42] You will
[30:42] be blaming
[30:43] the weather.
[30:44] You will
[30:44] be blaming
[30:44] the government
[30:45] policies.
[30:47] Nobody can
[30:48] keep you
[30:49] down when
[30:49] your faith
[30:50] is up.
[30:52] No system.
[30:53] I'm telling
[30:53] you, no
[30:54] system.
[30:56] No system.
[30:57] No
[30:58] institution.
[31:00] Nobody with
[31:01] enmity and
[31:02] bitterness and
[31:03] anger in
[31:04] their heart can
[31:05] keep you down
[31:05] when your faith
[31:06] is up.
[31:07] Nobody.
[31:09] Nobody.
[31:09] Because no
[31:10] one can
[31:10] compete with
[31:11] God.
[31:12] When your
[31:12] faith is up,
[31:13] God gets
[31:14] involved
[31:14] personally.
[31:17] God.
[31:18] God gets
[31:19] involved
[31:19] personally.
[31:22] Even not
[31:23] hereditary
[31:24] problems from
[31:26] hereditary.
[31:29] No.
[31:30] There are
[31:31] things my
[31:31] dad suffered
[31:32] that I
[31:33] have escaped
[31:33] because of
[31:35] my faith.
[31:36] Because of
[31:37] my faith.
[31:38] Because of
[31:39] my faith.
[31:41] Some of
[31:41] you, I'm
[31:42] just describing
[31:43] next year for
[31:43] you.
[31:45] Next year
[31:46] has been
[31:46] secured.
[31:51] Next year
[31:51] has been
[31:51] secured for
[31:52] somebody already.
[31:55] Next year
[31:55] has been
[31:56] settled for
[31:57] somebody already.
[31:59] In the name
[32:01] of Jesus.
[32:01] Jesus.
[32:01] In the name of
[32:04] So shall
[32:04] we be.
[32:05] So quickly,
[32:06] let me finish
[32:07] by adding
[32:08] this.
[32:09] To understand
[32:09] faith,
[32:10] faith is of
[32:10] God.
[32:11] Let's all say
[32:11] faith is of
[32:12] God.
[32:12] Faith is of
[32:13] God.
[32:13] So how does
[32:14] it come then?
[32:15] It comes by
[32:16] the word of
[32:17] God and
[32:18] then two,
[32:19] by encounters
[32:19] in God.
[32:21] Sometimes you
[32:21] have an
[32:22] encounter with
[32:22] God.
[32:23] Sometimes you
[32:23] have an
[32:24] experience with
[32:24] God.
[32:25] God.
[32:27] That's why I
[32:28] said God
[32:28] appeared to
[32:28] Abraham several
[32:29] times.
[32:30] Not just
[32:31] because he
[32:32] spoke to
[32:32] him.
[32:33] Abraham
[32:33] experienced
[32:34] God in a
[32:35] certain way
[32:35] that his
[32:36] experience with
[32:38] God left a
[32:39] deposit in
[32:40] him that
[32:41] became the
[32:41] platform for
[32:42] his faith.
[32:44] Do you
[32:44] understand that?
[32:45] God left
[32:46] something with
[32:46] him.
[32:47] God infused
[32:48] something of
[32:49] himself into
[32:49] Abraham by
[32:50] virtue of his
[32:51] encounters.
[32:52] That is why
[32:52] sitting in an
[32:53] atmosphere like
[32:54] this or
[32:55] tuning into
[32:55] an atmosphere
[32:56] like this.
[32:56] It's actually
[32:57] changing your
[32:57] story.
[32:59] It's changing
[32:59] your story
[33:00] because something
[33:01] of God is
[33:02] coming.
[33:03] It's being
[33:03] infused into
[33:04] you.
[33:04] Something of
[33:05] God is
[33:05] being.
[33:06] Listen, you
[33:07] are not
[33:07] wasting your
[33:07] time.
[33:08] Listen to a
[33:09] message from
[33:09] above.
[33:10] You are not
[33:10] wasting your
[33:10] time.
[33:12] You are not
[33:12] wasting your
[33:13] time.
[33:13] You are
[33:13] building your
[33:13] future.
[33:15] You are
[33:15] building your
[33:16] opportunities.
[33:18] Quickly.
[33:18] So faith is
[33:20] of God.
[33:21] Number two,
[33:22] faith is of
[33:23] the heart.
[33:25] Faith is of
[33:26] the heart.
[33:28] It's not a
[33:29] mind game.
[33:31] Listen, please.
[33:32] It's not an
[33:33] ideology.
[33:34] Faith is not
[33:36] a religious
[33:36] ideology.
[33:38] Faith is a
[33:39] condition of
[33:40] the heart.
[33:41] Something has
[33:42] entered
[33:42] somebody's
[33:43] heart.
[33:44] So in
[33:45] Mark chapter
[33:46] 11, verse
[33:47] 23, he
[33:49] says that,
[33:49] if you
[33:50] shall say
[33:50] to this
[33:51] mountain,
[33:52] for surely
[33:52] I say unto
[33:53] whosoever
[33:53] shall say
[33:54] to this
[33:54] mountain,
[33:55] be thou
[33:55] removed and
[33:56] be cast
[33:56] out into
[33:57] the sea and
[33:58] does not
[33:58] doubt in.
[34:00] So sometimes
[34:01] you can be
[34:01] doubting in
[34:02] your mind,
[34:03] but your
[34:03] heart is
[34:04] full of
[34:05] faith.
[34:07] And does
[34:08] not doubt
[34:09] in his
[34:10] heart.
[34:11] Does not
[34:11] doubt in
[34:12] his heart.
[34:13] Does not
[34:14] doubt in
[34:14] his heart.
[34:15] Romans 10,
[34:16] 10,
[34:17] with the
[34:17] heart.
[34:18] Romans 10,
[34:19] 10, it
[34:19] says that,
[34:20] with the
[34:20] heart, one
[34:21] believes unto
[34:23] right.
[34:23] Where does
[34:24] believing happen?
[34:25] The heart.
[34:28] The word is
[34:29] near, verse
[34:29] 8, Romans
[34:30] 10, 8.
[34:31] What says,
[34:31] Romans chapter
[34:32] 10, verse
[34:32] 8.
[34:33] But what does
[34:33] it say?
[34:34] The word is
[34:34] near you, in
[34:35] your mouth and
[34:37] in your
[34:38] heart.
[34:39] Not in
[34:39] your mind.
[34:41] In your
[34:41] heart.
[34:42] Faith, true
[34:43] faith is of
[34:45] God.
[34:45] True faith is
[34:46] of the
[34:47] heart.
[34:48] That's why
[34:49] you have to
[34:49] guard your
[34:50] heart.
[34:51] Guard your
[34:52] heart.
[34:52] Sometimes the
[34:53] anger in your
[34:54] heart is
[34:54] poisoning your
[34:55] faith.
[34:56] Sometimes the
[34:57] jealousy in
[34:57] your heart is
[34:58] poisoning your
[34:59] faith.
[35:00] Husbands and
[35:00] wives, you
[35:01] have to be
[35:01] careful.
[35:02] When you
[35:03] want to
[35:03] walk by
[35:03] faith, your
[35:05] spouse can
[35:06] irritate you
[35:06] and hurt you
[35:07] so much that
[35:08] your heart is
[35:09] bitter.
[35:10] Your heart is
[35:10] so down.
[35:11] You can't be
[35:11] able to poison
[35:12] and weaken
[35:13] your faith.
[35:14] Because faith
[35:15] lives in the
[35:16] heart.
[35:18] That is
[35:19] why you
[35:20] have to be
[35:20] careful when
[35:21] you are
[35:21] about to
[35:21] choose a
[35:22] spouse.
[35:24] How you
[35:25] feel about
[35:25] them now is
[35:26] not as
[35:27] important.
[35:28] You see,
[35:29] don't give
[35:30] your heart to
[35:30] anyone whose
[35:31] heart has not
[35:31] been given to
[35:32] Jesus.
[35:36] He means
[35:37] good, but
[35:38] he can't
[35:39] sustain it.
[35:41] So faith is
[35:42] of the heart.
[35:42] Shall we all
[35:43] say faith is
[35:43] of the heart?
[35:46] And number
[35:47] three, your
[35:48] faith is in
[35:49] your mouth.
[35:51] Your faith
[35:52] is locked up
[35:55] in your mouth.
[35:57] Your faith can
[35:58] never grow above
[35:59] what you are
[35:59] saying.
[36:02] I don't know
[36:03] what you are
[36:03] saying.
[36:05] Sometimes some
[36:06] thoughts will fly
[36:06] through your
[36:07] mind, but you
[36:08] better not say
[36:09] them.
[36:11] You better not
[36:12] say them.
[36:15] How can a
[36:17] decent, godly
[36:18] person open
[36:19] your mouth and
[36:20] say, so what
[36:20] if I have
[36:21] cancer?
[36:21] Even when the
[36:26] doctor says we
[36:26] suspect cancer,
[36:27] I say, doctor,
[36:27] you are wrong.
[36:29] You have to
[36:29] speak back, say,
[36:30] no, no, no, no,
[36:30] your suspicion is
[36:31] wrong because
[36:33] cancer doesn't
[36:35] do me.
[36:36] But what if the
[36:37] doctor is right?
[36:37] That's why he'll
[36:38] be right for you.
[36:40] God is
[36:41] right there.
[36:42] Your faith is
[36:43] locked up in your
[36:44] mouth.
[36:45] Satan has not
[36:46] stopped harassing
[36:47] you because he
[36:47] hasn't heard you
[36:48] speaking.
[36:48] If it is
[36:50] faith, faith
[36:52] speaks.
[36:53] We didn't
[36:53] see Romans
[36:54] chapter 10
[36:55] verse 8.
[36:57] What says
[36:57] it?
[36:58] The word is
[36:59] near you.
[36:59] Where?
[37:00] Where is the
[37:01] word?
[37:02] Where is the
[37:03] word?
[37:04] I can't hear
[37:05] you.
[37:05] Where is the
[37:06] word?
[37:08] It's in your
[37:09] mouth and in
[37:10] your heart.
[37:10] What word are
[37:11] we talking about?
[37:11] The word of
[37:12] faith with the
[37:13] pastor is
[37:13] preaching.
[37:14] It's actually
[37:14] already in your
[37:16] mouth, ready to
[37:16] work.
[37:18] So faith is
[37:20] of God, faith
[37:21] is of the
[37:22] heart, and
[37:22] faith is in
[37:23] your mouth.
[37:25] When we
[37:26] listen to you
[37:27] talk, we
[37:27] will know
[37:27] whether you
[37:28] are a man
[37:28] of faith
[37:28] or not.
[37:31] Every little
[37:31] thing, hey,
[37:32] I'm there
[37:32] though.
[37:36] Some people
[37:36] have their
[37:37] confidence.
[37:38] They tell, oh,
[37:39] things are
[37:39] very, very
[37:39] bad.
[37:40] Very, very,
[37:41] very, very
[37:41] bad.
[37:43] They have
[37:43] to add
[37:44] very, very,
[37:45] very, very
[37:45] bad.
[37:45] upon all
[37:48] the teachings,
[37:49] upon all
[37:50] the teachings,
[37:51] life and
[37:52] death lie
[37:53] in the power
[37:54] of the
[37:54] tongue.
[37:57] Faith
[37:58] speaks what
[37:59] God said.
[38:01] Faith
[38:02] speaks not
[38:03] what you
[38:03] think, not
[38:04] what you,
[38:05] Facebook will
[38:06] ask you,
[38:07] what's on
[38:08] your mind?
[38:10] Faith,
[38:11] Facebook will
[38:12] ask you,
[38:13] what is God
[38:13] saying?
[38:13] saying?
[38:15] God has
[38:19] said, so
[38:20] we will
[38:20] boldly say,
[38:22] Hebrews
[38:22] chapter 13
[38:23] verse 6,
[38:24] verse 5
[38:24] and 6,
[38:25] God has
[38:26] said, so
[38:27] we will
[38:27] boldly say,
[38:31] don't be
[38:32] quiet.
[38:34] Oh, one
[38:34] great man
[38:35] of God,
[38:36] years ago,
[38:37] I heard him
[38:37] say that,
[38:39] me, I
[38:39] won't be
[38:39] quiet.
[38:40] Even if I'm
[38:41] going to
[38:41] the grave,
[38:42] I'll be
[38:43] screaming and
[38:44] kicking,
[38:44] going, I
[38:45] won't go
[38:45] quietly.
[38:46] I'll be
[38:46] speaking, I'm
[38:47] blessed, I'm
[38:47] blessed, I'm
[38:48] blessed, I'm
[38:49] blessed, I'm
[38:49] blessed, I'm
[38:50] blessed, I'm
[38:51] blessed, I'm
[38:51] blessed.
[38:53] Learn how to
[38:54] speak what
[38:55] you've seen in
[38:55] God's word
[38:56] regarding your
[38:57] future.
[38:59] That's how
[38:59] faith works.
[39:01] Some of us
[39:02] parents, stop
[39:03] saying those
[39:03] things about
[39:04] your child,
[39:05] because listen,
[39:06] there's something
[39:06] called, I
[39:07] mentioned it
[39:07] earlier on,
[39:08] the hearing
[39:08] of faith.
[39:10] Galatians 3,
[39:11] 2, the
[39:12] hearing of
[39:12] faith.
[39:13] There's a
[39:13] certain hearing
[39:14] that warrants
[39:16] faith.
[39:17] It authorizes
[39:18] faith.
[39:18] It generates,
[39:19] it's called the
[39:19] hearing of
[39:20] faith.
[39:22] So, quickly,
[39:24] faith is in
[39:25] your heart.
[39:27] So, faith is
[39:28] of, sorry,
[39:29] faith is of
[39:29] God, faith is
[39:30] of the heart,
[39:31] faith is in
[39:32] your mouth.
[39:34] And I said
[39:35] it earlier on,
[39:36] everybody has
[39:37] got a measure of
[39:37] faith.
[39:37] faith.
[39:39] If you are a
[39:39] Christian, you
[39:40] have a measure.
[39:41] You can't say,
[39:42] as for me, I
[39:42] don't have faith
[39:43] at all.
[39:44] I don't know
[39:44] why.
[39:45] I don't have
[39:45] faith.
[39:46] Then you are
[39:46] not born
[39:46] again.
[39:50] So, what you
[39:51] have got to
[39:51] do, you
[39:52] have got to
[39:52] be born
[39:52] again.
[39:53] Number five,
[39:54] true faith
[39:55] is living.
[39:57] True faith
[39:58] is living.
[39:59] If it's
[39:59] genuine faith,
[40:00] it's alive.
[40:04] All right.
[40:04] So, number
[40:04] one, I'm
[40:05] talking about
[40:06] understanding
[40:06] faith.
[40:06] Faith from
[40:07] first to last.
[40:08] You have to
[40:08] understand how
[40:09] faith works.
[40:10] First of all,
[40:11] number one,
[40:11] faith is of
[40:12] God.
[40:12] Number two,
[40:13] faith is of
[40:13] the heart.
[40:14] Number three,
[40:15] faith is in
[40:15] your mouth.
[40:16] Number four,
[40:18] everyone has
[40:19] a measure of
[40:20] faith to
[40:20] start with.
[40:21] Number five,
[40:22] true faith
[40:23] is living
[40:23] faith.
[40:25] So, it's
[40:25] alive.
[40:26] It has
[40:26] life.
[40:28] James
[40:28] chapter 2,
[40:30] verse 17
[40:31] and verse 26.
[40:33] Verse 17
[40:33] says that,
[40:35] as the body,
[40:35] that,
[40:37] that's,
[40:37] James
[40:38] chapter 2,
[40:38] verse,
[40:40] it said,
[40:40] that also faith
[40:41] by itself,
[40:42] if it does
[40:43] not have works,
[40:44] is dead.
[40:45] So,
[40:46] is it possible
[40:47] that you are
[40:48] trying to
[40:49] breastfeed
[40:49] a dead
[40:51] faith?
[40:54] Breastfeed
[40:55] a dead
[40:55] faith?
[40:57] There are
[40:57] people,
[40:57] their faith
[40:58] is just
[40:59] sitting in
[41:00] church and
[41:01] enjoying the
[41:01] atmosphere.
[41:02] that's the
[41:03] faith.
[41:04] When they
[41:04] get,
[41:05] when church
[41:05] finishes,
[41:06] that's it.
[41:08] So,
[41:08] you will
[41:08] never see
[41:09] any smear
[41:10] of church
[41:11] on their
[41:12] decisions
[41:13] outside after
[41:14] church.
[41:14] You won't
[41:15] see the
[41:15] smear of
[41:16] faith in
[41:17] God's word.
[41:18] That's why
[41:18] usually,
[41:19] one of the
[41:20] areas,
[41:20] permit me to
[41:21] calm down,
[41:21] one of the
[41:23] areas to
[41:23] enjoy,
[41:25] to
[41:25] practicalize
[41:26] faith,
[41:27] is after
[41:28] you've
[41:28] heard the
[41:29] word of
[41:29] God.
[41:30] You can
[41:31] demonstrate
[41:31] practicalizing
[41:32] your faith
[41:33] through your
[41:33] giving.
[41:35] Giving is a
[41:36] major area
[41:37] of demonstrating
[41:39] your faith.
[41:40] Giving.
[41:41] It's a
[41:41] major area.
[41:44] I have
[41:44] never seen
[41:45] someone who
[41:46] works by
[41:46] faith and
[41:46] struggles to
[41:47] give.
[41:49] And when
[41:50] people are
[41:51] strong in
[41:52] faith, it
[41:52] shows in
[41:53] their sacrifices.
[41:55] Look at
[41:55] Abraham.
[41:56] Abraham was
[41:57] willing to
[41:57] give a whole
[41:58] Isaacle.
[41:59] Isaac is a
[42:01] serious deal.
[42:02] Isaac is a
[42:03] big deal.
[42:04] It is a
[42:05] reflection of
[42:05] the kind of
[42:06] faith he
[42:07] had.
[42:09] Unbelievers
[42:09] always,
[42:10] what was
[42:10] funny is
[42:11] unbelievers
[42:12] think they
[42:13] have the
[42:13] right to
[42:14] detect how
[42:14] church must
[42:15] be.
[42:16] I find it
[42:16] so laughable.
[42:18] Bizarre.
[42:21] Bizarre,
[42:22] absurd,
[42:26] very,
[42:26] very,
[42:26] very,
[42:27] madness,
[42:28] paradoxical.
[42:29] Mind boggling.
[42:31] Because they
[42:32] think,
[42:32] okay,
[42:33] they have
[42:33] got it.
[42:34] Why is
[42:35] someone just
[42:35] jumping like
[42:36] that?
[42:36] Why is
[42:36] jumping like
[42:36] that?
[42:36] Get on
[42:37] again,
[42:37] you understand
[42:37] why we
[42:38] are jumping?
[42:41] Why are you
[42:41] always going
[42:42] to church?
[42:43] You two,
[42:43] why are you
[42:43] always watching
[42:44] football?
[42:44] always going
[42:46] to the
[42:48] pub?
[42:50] Why are you
[42:50] always working?
[42:51] Even
[42:51] Christmas day,
[42:52] you are
[42:52] working.
[42:56] And you
[42:56] think you
[42:57] are smarter
[42:57] because someone
[42:58] is doing
[42:58] church.
[42:59] You are
[43:00] making a
[43:01] destiny mistake
[43:02] by thinking
[43:03] you are
[43:03] smarter because
[43:04] you are not
[43:04] doing church.
[43:05] You are
[43:06] dumber because
[43:06] you are not
[43:07] doing church.
[43:07] why are you
[43:08] eating Christmas
[43:09] turkey when
[43:10] you won't
[43:11] see Christ?
[43:16] You see,
[43:17] when you
[43:17] begin to
[43:18] describe their
[43:18] case,
[43:19] then they
[43:19] begin to
[43:20] get irritated.
[43:22] But they
[43:23] think they
[43:23] have the
[43:23] right to
[43:25] speak to
[43:25] you anyhow
[43:26] because you
[43:27] are a man
[43:28] of faith.
[43:30] Me too,
[43:31] I have the
[43:31] right because
[43:32] I'm a man
[43:32] of faith.
[43:33] I have the
[43:33] right to
[43:33] tell you the
[43:34] dictates of
[43:35] faith because
[43:35] you are a
[43:35] man without
[43:36] faith.
[43:37] faith is
[43:40] shaky.
[43:44] Faith is
[43:45] your only
[43:46] hope for
[43:47] it.
[43:50] Sister,
[43:51] what the
[43:52] doctors are
[43:52] saying is
[43:52] true.
[43:54] Okay,
[43:54] let me say
[43:54] it again.
[43:55] Listen,
[43:57] they are
[43:57] no joke,
[43:58] you know.
[43:58] They've
[43:58] gone to
[43:59] school to
[43:59] train to
[44:00] find that
[44:00] problem.
[44:02] Some have
[44:02] been practicing
[44:03] for 30
[44:04] years just
[44:04] to locate
[44:05] your problem.
[44:05] so what
[44:07] they are
[44:08] saying is
[44:09] true.
[44:11] But there
[44:11] is a
[44:12] higher
[44:12] truth.
[44:16] There is
[44:16] a higher
[44:17] truth.
[44:18] Did you hear
[44:18] Pastor Joshua
[44:19] or Pastor
[44:19] Phoebe?
[44:20] He said,
[44:20] she said,
[44:21] or he said,
[44:22] you can
[44:23] choose
[44:23] believers.
[44:26] Believers,
[44:27] we have
[44:27] an option.
[44:28] if you
[44:30] are not
[44:30] a believer,
[44:31] you don't
[44:31] have an
[44:31] option.
[44:33] You don't
[44:33] have that
[44:34] option.
[44:34] You are
[44:34] stuck with
[44:35] what the
[44:35] doctors are
[44:36] saying.
[44:38] You are
[44:39] stuck with
[44:41] the natural
[44:41] situation.
[44:42] That's the
[44:43] only option
[44:44] you have.
[44:44] But when
[44:45] you are a
[44:45] believer,
[44:46] Bible says,
[44:47] we walk
[44:47] by faith
[44:48] and not
[44:49] by sight.
[44:50] We walk
[44:50] by faith
[44:51] and not
[44:51] we have
[44:52] an option.
[44:54] Tell three
[44:55] people,
[44:55] I've got
[44:55] an option.
[44:56] I've got
[44:56] an option.
[44:58] I am
[45:02] here to
[45:03] send a
[45:03] public
[45:04] notice
[45:04] that from
[45:06] today onwards
[45:07] you are
[45:08] on the
[45:08] side of
[45:09] victory.
[45:12] From
[45:13] today onwards,
[45:14] let your
[45:15] enemies
[45:15] take notice.
[45:17] Victory is
[45:18] on your
[45:18] side.
[45:21] Victory is
[45:22] on your
[45:22] side.
[45:25] Victory is
[45:26] on your
[45:26] side.
[45:27] in the
[45:28] name of
[45:30] Jesus.
[45:32] If you
[45:32] believe this
[45:33] shout,
[45:33] I believe
[45:33] in
[45:33] Amen.
[45:40] Faith is
[45:41] living.
[45:42] Romans,
[45:43] sorry,
[45:43] James chapter
[45:43] 2 verse 17
[45:44] says that
[45:45] faith can be
[45:46] dead.
[45:46] Verse 26,
[45:47] James 2
[45:48] 26,
[45:49] it said,
[45:50] for us the
[45:50] body without
[45:51] the spirit is
[45:52] dead.
[45:53] So faith
[45:54] without works.
[45:55] stop getting
[45:58] concerned about
[45:59] how people
[46:00] interpret your
[46:01] works of
[46:01] faith.
[46:03] At least
[46:04] you are not
[46:04] using their
[46:05] body.
[46:10] Reverend
[46:10] Eastwood said
[46:11] something some
[46:11] time ago,
[46:12] I've never
[46:12] thought about it
[46:13] like that.
[46:13] You know,
[46:14] it takes the
[46:14] wisdom of
[46:14] God to
[46:15] help people
[46:15] understand
[46:15] things
[46:16] differently.
[46:17] He said
[46:17] people are
[46:18] complaining that
[46:19] people are
[46:20] giving their
[46:20] money to
[46:20] church.
[46:21] Is it
[46:21] your money?
[46:23] Is it
[46:23] your money?
[46:23] minister,
[46:26] sir,
[46:26] this is what
[46:27] I don't
[46:27] understand.
[46:28] You spend
[46:29] your money on
[46:30] what you
[46:30] want to
[46:30] spend your
[46:30] money on.
[46:31] And you
[46:32] accuse me
[46:32] for spending
[46:33] my money on
[46:34] what I want
[46:34] to spend
[46:35] my money on,
[46:36] which you
[46:36] think is
[46:37] not wise,
[46:38] but I think
[46:38] yours is
[46:38] also stupid.
[46:41] Leave me
[46:41] alone.
[46:42] Let my
[46:42] faith dictate
[46:43] how I spend
[46:44] my money.
[46:45] Let my
[46:45] faith,
[46:46] let my
[46:46] faith,
[46:47] let my
[46:48] faith,
[46:48] let my
[46:49] faith,
[46:49] let my
[46:50] faith.
[46:50] I've been
[46:53] younger now,
[46:54] never have
[46:54] I seen
[46:55] the righteous
[46:55] forsaken,
[46:56] nor his
[46:57] seen
[46:57] bread for
[46:58] bread.
[46:59] Leave me
[47:00] alone.
[47:00] Leave me
[47:01] alone.
[47:02] Leave me
[47:03] alone.
[47:06] You are
[47:07] spending your
[47:07] money on
[47:08] Netflix.
[47:11] And is it
[47:11] not showing?
[47:13] Is it not
[47:13] showing?
[47:16] And I'm
[47:17] spending my
[47:17] money on,
[47:19] in the
[47:19] direction of
[47:20] my faith,
[47:20] in the
[47:21] direction of
[47:22] my faith.
[47:23] That's why
[47:23] you have to
[47:23] be careful
[47:24] when you
[47:24] are choosing
[47:24] a marriage
[47:25] partner.
[47:27] Some don't
[47:28] do faith,
[47:30] and it
[47:30] will become
[47:31] the rest of
[47:32] your life,
[47:32] fighting to
[47:34] maintain the
[47:35] direction of
[47:35] your faith.
[47:35] Some of
[47:36] us,
[47:37] before we
[47:38] got married,
[47:39] there was
[47:39] this lifestyle
[47:40] of faith we
[47:41] practiced,
[47:43] and that
[47:44] even informed
[47:45] the kind of
[47:46] spouses we
[47:47] chose.
[47:48] Your faith
[47:48] is very
[47:49] personal.
[47:50] That's
[47:50] another
[47:50] point.
[47:52] It's so
[47:52] personal.
[47:52] It said
[47:53] Habakkuk
[47:54] chapter 2
[47:54] verse 4,
[47:55] the just
[47:55] shall live
[47:56] by his
[47:57] faith.
[47:58] It's so
[47:59] personal.
[48:00] Stop
[48:00] running on
[48:02] your mother's
[48:03] faith.
[48:08] I know
[48:08] your mother
[48:09] is a
[48:10] professor,
[48:11] is a
[48:12] lecturer,
[48:12] is an
[48:13] emeritus,
[48:13] but she
[48:14] can't
[48:14] write your
[48:15] GCSE for
[48:15] you.
[48:18] You can't
[48:19] drive with
[48:19] another
[48:19] person's
[48:20] headlamps.
[48:22] They just
[48:22] shall live
[48:23] by faith.
[48:23] Faith is
[48:24] so personal.
[48:25] Take the
[48:25] personal
[48:26] responsibility
[48:27] of growing
[48:27] your faith.
[48:29] And as a
[48:29] mother, you
[48:30] can use your
[48:31] faith to
[48:31] believe God
[48:32] for your
[48:32] children's
[48:33] future.
[48:33] You can
[48:34] use your
[48:34] faith to
[48:34] believe God
[48:35] for your
[48:35] wife,
[48:35] your husband.
[48:36] You can
[48:36] use your
[48:37] faith to
[48:37] believe God
[48:38] for your
[48:38] ministry.
[48:39] You can
[48:39] use your
[48:39] faith to
[48:40] get things
[48:40] happen.
[48:41] Because it
[48:42] happens based
[48:43] on your
[48:43] faith.
[48:44] But first
[48:45] of all,
[48:46] faith is
[48:46] personal.
[48:48] Somebody's
[48:48] faith must
[48:49] be working.
[48:50] For us to
[48:51] be able to
[48:51] be here
[48:52] today,
[48:52] somebody's
[48:53] faith is
[48:53] working.
[48:55] Somebody
[48:55] got to
[48:56] believe for
[48:56] us to
[48:56] be here.
[48:58] You also
[48:58] know it's
[48:59] your turn to
[48:59] believe for
[49:00] others to
[49:00] be somewhere.
[49:03] Believe for
[49:03] your children
[49:04] to do well.
[49:05] Believe for
[49:06] your marriage
[49:06] to be a
[49:07] good marriage.
[49:09] Believe to
[49:10] have good
[49:10] health.
[49:11] faith is
[49:15] personal.
[49:17] Faith is
[49:19] personal.
[49:19] I can't
[49:20] hear you.
[49:20] Faith is
[49:21] personal.
[49:22] I can't
[49:23] hear you.
[49:23] Faith is
[49:24] personal.
[49:25] Don't let
[49:26] someone sitting
[49:27] online tell
[49:27] you what kind
[49:28] of faith
[49:28] you should
[49:29] work.
[49:30] Do you
[49:30] know there
[49:31] are private
[49:31] practices?
[49:32] Where are
[49:33] their physical
[49:33] results?
[49:35] Hebrews
[49:35] chapter 13
[49:36] verse 7.
[49:37] It said
[49:38] that the
[49:39] people,
[49:39] Hebrews
[49:39] 13
[49:40] 7,
[49:40] before it
[49:40] said Jesus
[49:41] Christ
[49:41] remember
[49:43] those who
[49:43] have
[49:44] ruled over
[49:44] you,
[49:44] who have
[49:45] spoken the
[49:46] word of
[49:46] God to
[49:47] you,
[49:47] whose faith
[49:48] follow,
[49:48] considering the
[49:50] outcome of
[49:50] their lives.
[49:52] In other
[49:53] words,
[49:54] there are some
[49:54] people you
[49:55] don't have the
[49:55] right to
[49:56] follow because
[49:56] you don't
[49:57] know the
[49:57] outcome of
[49:57] their lives.
[49:57] you can't
[49:58] see proofs.
[50:00] You can't
[50:00] see proofs of
[50:01] the noise
[50:01] they are
[50:02] making.
[50:02] They only
[50:03] don't make
[50:03] noise,
[50:04] they can't
[50:04] make news.
[50:08] Please,
[50:09] grow up!
[50:11] Grow up!
[50:13] Take personal
[50:14] responsibility for
[50:15] development of
[50:15] your faith.
[50:16] Don't even give
[50:17] it to a
[50:17] pastor.
[50:19] Let alone
[50:20] someone who
[50:20] sits online
[50:21] doesn't know
[50:21] you.
[50:21] faith is
[50:23] living,
[50:23] faith is
[50:24] personal,
[50:25] and then let
[50:25] me add these
[50:26] three things.
[50:28] We live by
[50:29] faith.
[50:31] We live by
[50:32] faith.
[50:33] We live.
[50:34] That's me.
[50:36] That's my life.
[50:37] I'm a man of
[50:37] faith.
[50:38] I'm a woman of
[50:38] faith.
[50:38] That's what.
[50:39] My children,
[50:40] sorry, if you
[50:41] want something
[50:41] else this way,
[50:42] I'm a man of
[50:43] faith.
[50:43] Your mom is a
[50:44] woman of faith.
[50:45] Your dad is a
[50:46] man of faith.
[50:47] It doesn't
[50:47] matter when the
[50:48] enemy hits.
[50:49] Our first
[50:50] language is we
[50:50] believe God.
[50:51] And we stay
[50:54] strong in faith
[50:55] and fight the
[50:57] good fight of
[50:58] faith.
[50:58] We fight the
[50:59] good fight of
[51:00] faith.
[51:00] If you don't
[51:00] like it, then
[51:01] you are stuck
[51:01] with me.
[51:03] Church, your
[51:04] pastor is a
[51:05] man of faith.
[51:08] The next
[51:08] point about
[51:09] faith is,
[51:10] faith is the
[51:11] victory.
[51:13] That's why we
[51:14] talk the way
[51:14] we talk.
[51:15] If you have
[51:16] faith, don't
[51:16] worry, you've
[51:16] got a victory.
[51:18] You've got a
[51:19] victory.
[51:19] people must be
[51:22] careful about
[51:23] you if you're a
[51:23] man of faith.
[51:25] Because the
[51:26] tithes will
[51:26] turn in your
[51:27] favor.
[51:28] Faith is the
[51:29] victory.
[51:30] 2026, faith is
[51:32] the victory.
[51:33] It's going to
[51:34] spill over in
[51:35] 2027.
[51:36] It's going to
[51:36] spill over 2028.
[51:38] It's going to
[51:39] spill over 2029.
[51:41] It's going to
[51:41] spill over 2030.
[51:42] He said,
[51:43] this is the
[51:46] victory.
[51:48] 1 John
[51:49] chapter 5.
[51:51] This, verse
[51:53] 4.
[51:54] Whatever is
[51:55] born of God,
[51:58] do you remember
[51:58] faith is of
[51:59] God?
[52:00] It overcomes
[52:02] the world.
[52:02] That's why I
[52:03] said, if you're a
[52:04] man of faith,
[52:05] if you're a
[52:06] woman of faith,
[52:06] those who are
[52:07] dealing with you,
[52:07] they have to be
[52:08] very careful.
[52:09] They should go
[52:10] and ask
[52:10] Mordecai.
[52:11] They should
[52:13] go and ask
[52:13] Daniel.
[52:14] They should go
[52:15] and ask Shadrach,
[52:15] Mezah, and Abed
[52:16] Neville.
[52:17] They should go
[52:18] and ask Joseph
[52:19] and Potiphar's
[52:19] wife.
[52:21] If you're a
[52:22] woman of faith,
[52:23] if you're a
[52:24] man of faith,
[52:25] things will
[52:26] begin to turn.
[52:27] Sometimes,
[52:28] it happens so
[52:30] quickly.
[52:31] If God is on
[52:32] somebody's side,
[52:34] and things
[52:35] begin to change,
[52:36] you, the one
[52:36] fighting him,
[52:37] you are in
[52:37] trouble.
[52:39] Because Mordecai's
[52:40] wife said,
[52:41] if Mordecai
[52:42] be a seed
[52:43] of the Jew,
[52:44] before whom
[52:45] you started
[52:45] falling,
[52:46] then your
[52:47] falling will
[52:47] never end.
[52:49] It will be
[52:50] one thing.
[52:51] That's how
[52:51] sometimes it is.
[52:53] My friend,
[52:53] I had a friend,
[52:54] he says that
[52:54] God is slow
[52:56] to anger.
[52:57] That's what
[52:57] the Bible says.
[52:58] God is slow
[52:59] to anger,
[53:00] right?
[53:00] But he says
[53:01] that if you
[53:02] are slow
[53:03] to repentance,
[53:04] slow anger
[53:04] will catch up
[53:05] with you.
[53:08] If you don't
[53:08] stop this
[53:09] harassment of the
[53:10] people of faith,
[53:11] if you don't
[53:12] stop it,
[53:14] if you don't
[53:14] stop it,
[53:15] Herod,
[53:15] Herod,
[53:16] you won.
[53:17] I don't know
[53:18] which Herod
[53:19] I'm talking
[53:19] to.
[53:19] If you don't
[53:20] stop this
[53:21] harassment of
[53:22] the church,
[53:23] if you don't
[53:24] stop this
[53:24] negative demonic
[53:26] campaign,
[53:27] if you don't
[53:27] stop it,
[53:28] if you don't
[53:30] stop it,
[53:31] your days
[53:31] are numbered.
[53:33] Your days
[53:34] are numbered.
[53:35] Your days
[53:36] are numbered.
[53:37] Your days
[53:38] are numbered.
[53:40] You might
[53:41] be in power,
[53:42] but you're
[53:43] already out
[53:44] of power.
[53:47] Every woman
[53:48] of God,
[53:48] some of you
[53:49] have become
[53:50] persecutors
[53:51] of people
[53:51] of faith.
[53:52] You are
[53:53] in trouble
[53:54] in advance.
[53:56] You are
[53:57] in trouble
[53:57] in advance.
[54:00] Hitler
[54:00] can never
[54:01] survive.
[54:03] Hitler
[54:03] will go
[54:03] down.
[54:04] every Hitler
[54:05] goes down
[54:06] because you
[54:07] chose to
[54:08] come after
[54:08] people who
[54:09] God is
[54:09] making history
[54:10] with.
[54:12] They might
[54:12] have their
[54:13] own faults,
[54:14] but it's
[54:14] not for you
[54:15] to take them
[54:16] on because
[54:17] you don't
[54:17] have that
[54:18] pay grade.
[54:19] Listen,
[54:21] if you
[54:21] be a woman
[54:22] of faith,
[54:23] I feel
[54:24] sorry for
[54:25] the one
[54:25] fighting you.
[54:28] If you
[54:29] be a man
[54:29] of faith,
[54:30] I feel
[54:31] sorry for
[54:32] anyone
[54:32] fighting you.
[54:34] I just
[54:36] said it.
[54:36] Live to
[54:37] see.
[54:38] You'll
[54:38] be the
[54:39] negative
[54:39] statistics.
[54:40] You are
[54:41] going to
[54:41] be the
[54:41] negative
[54:41] statistics.
[54:44] Brothers
[54:44] and
[54:45] sisters,
[54:46] stand
[54:46] strong
[54:47] in
[54:47] faith.
[54:49] Be a
[54:49] woman
[54:49] of
[54:50] faith.
[54:50] No one
[54:51] can
[54:51] temper
[54:52] with your
[54:52] children.
[54:55] No one
[54:56] can
[54:56] temper
[54:56] with
[54:57] your
[54:57] house.
[54:59] No one
[55:00] can
[55:00] temper
[55:00] with
[55:01] what
[55:01] belongs
[55:02] to
[55:02] you.
[55:04] Get
[55:05] busy
[55:05] building
[55:06] your
[55:07] faith.
[55:08] Building
[55:08] your
[55:08] faith.
[55:09] Let
[55:09] them
[55:09] throw
[55:10] the
[55:10] stones
[55:10] at
[55:10] you.
[55:11] Get
[55:11] busy
[55:11] building.
[55:12] Suddenly
[55:13] everything
[55:14] will
[55:14] turn
[55:14] suddenly.
[55:18] Faith
[55:18] is the
[55:19] victory
[55:20] that
[55:23] overcomes
[55:23] the world,
[55:24] even our
[55:25] faith.
[55:25] So that
[55:26] means that
[55:26] if you
[55:27] don't give
[55:27] up on
[55:27] faith,
[55:28] eventually
[55:29] everything
[55:29] will begin
[55:30] to
[55:30] change.
[55:30] everything
[55:32] aligns
[55:33] in your
[55:33] favor.
[55:34] Say,
[55:35] I've
[55:35] got
[55:35] the
[55:36] victory.
[55:38] And
[55:38] then
[55:38] finally,
[55:40] the
[55:40] language
[55:40] and the
[55:41] currency
[55:41] of God
[55:41] is faith.
[55:43] You
[55:44] can't
[55:44] talk to
[55:44] God
[55:45] if you
[55:46] don't
[55:46] have
[55:46] a
[55:47] faith
[55:47] language.
[55:49] Jesus
[55:50] said,
[55:50] Lazarus
[55:50] is dead.
[55:52] Let's
[55:52] go,
[55:52] and I'm
[55:52] going to
[55:53] wake
[55:53] him up.
[55:54] They
[55:54] said,
[55:54] but if
[55:54] he's
[55:55] dead,
[55:56] faith,
[55:57] the
[55:58] currency
[55:58] and the
[55:59] language
[55:59] of God
[55:59] is
[56:00] faith.
[56:01] God's
[56:02] operating
[56:02] system
[56:02] is
[56:03] faith.
[56:04] The
[56:04] currency.
[56:05] You
[56:05] want to
[56:05] have
[56:06] interaction
[56:06] with
[56:06] God,
[56:07] better
[56:08] have
[56:08] some
[56:09] faith
[56:09] in
[56:09] your
[56:09] heart.
[56:10] He
[56:10] says,
[56:11] for he
[56:12] who
[56:12] comes
[56:13] to
[56:13] God
[56:13] must
[56:14] believe
[56:15] that
[56:15] he
[56:15] is,
[56:16] else
[56:16] don't
[56:16] bother
[56:17] coming.
[56:19] Anyone
[56:19] who is
[56:20] going to
[56:20] come
[56:20] to
[56:20] God
[56:20] must,
[56:21] it's
[56:21] a
[56:22] necessary
[56:22] requirement,
[56:24] must
[56:24] believe.
[56:25] Hebrews
[56:25] chapter
[56:25] 11
[56:26] verse 6,
[56:28] must
[56:28] believe.
[56:29] If
[56:29] faith is
[56:30] the language
[56:30] God
[56:30] understands,
[56:33] that if
[56:33] you pray
[56:33] with our
[56:34] faith,
[56:34] you are
[56:34] wasting
[56:34] time.
[56:37] Because
[56:38] God said,
[56:38] you know,
[56:39] when you are
[56:39] talking to
[56:40] somebody behind
[56:40] a glass,
[56:41] he can see,
[56:43] but he can't
[56:43] hear you.
[56:45] Yes,
[56:46] yeah.
[56:46] Huh?
[56:47] Huh?
[56:47] Huh?
[56:47] Huh?
[56:47] Huh?
[56:48] Huh?
[56:48] Huh?
[56:48] Huh?
[56:48] Huh?
[56:48] Huh?
[56:49] Huh?
[56:49] Huh?
[56:49] Huh?
[56:49] Huh?
[56:50] Huh?
[56:50] Huh?
[56:50] Huh?
[56:50] Huh?
[56:50] Huh?
[56:51] Huh?
[56:51] Huh?
[56:51] Huh?
[56:51] Huh?
[56:52] Huh?
[56:52] Huh?
[56:52] Huh?
[56:53] Huh?
[56:53] Huh?
[56:53] Huh?
[56:54] Huh?
[57:00] You tell your
[57:00] problems to
[57:00] God on
[57:01] what grounds?
[57:02] What is the
[57:02] word?
[57:03] What's the
[57:03] word basis?
[57:05] What's your
[57:05] word basis?
[57:06] Who told you
[57:07] God solves
[57:07] problems?
[57:09] Where do you
[57:10] get that idea
[57:10] from?
[57:11] That's why
[57:11] people say
[57:11] if there's
[57:12] God,
[57:12] why are
[57:12] people dying?
[57:13] What does
[57:13] that have
[57:13] to do
[57:13] with God?
[57:15] Is it
[57:15] the one
[57:15] killing
[57:16] them?
[57:17] When
[57:18] someone
[57:18] tells you
[57:18] I'm a
[57:19] genuine
[57:19] Christian,
[57:20] he's as
[57:21] gentle as
[57:22] a dove,
[57:22] they don't
[57:23] kill.
[57:24] The only
[57:25] thing we
[57:25] have that
[57:25] is very
[57:26] aggressive
[57:26] is our
[57:27] message.
[57:28] Our
[57:30] message
[57:30] which gives
[57:32] birth to
[57:32] our
[57:32] faith.
[57:33] We have
[57:33] violent
[57:34] faith.
[57:35] The only
[57:35] violent
[57:36] thing about
[57:36] a Christian
[57:37] is their
[57:37] faith.
[57:40] Not our
[57:40] faith.
[57:41] Our
[57:41] faith.
[57:42] Not our
[57:42] faith.
[57:44] I can't
[57:44] say anything
[57:45] about other
[57:45] religions.
[57:47] But you
[57:48] can even
[57:48] insult our
[57:50] God and
[57:51] we'll pray
[57:52] for you by
[57:52] faith.
[57:54] Religion is
[57:55] not the
[57:55] problem of
[57:56] man.
[57:58] It's the
[57:58] faith
[57:58] Christians.
[58:00] The
[58:00] language of
[58:00] faith.
[58:01] And the
[58:02] currency of
[58:03] faith.
[58:03] You want
[58:04] to buy
[58:04] something from
[58:05] heaven?
[58:06] Everything is
[58:06] there.
[58:06] Your kidneys
[58:07] are there.
[58:07] New
[58:08] kidneys.
[58:09] New job.
[58:10] Husband.
[58:11] Wife.
[58:13] That's why
[58:13] when you come
[58:14] to church
[58:14] and it's
[58:14] time to
[58:15] give.
[58:16] Don't
[58:17] just give
[58:17] money.
[58:18] Exercise
[58:19] faith.
[58:21] So let
[58:21] your giving
[58:22] be a
[58:22] reflection of
[58:23] faith.
[58:24] That's how
[58:24] transactions
[58:25] happen.
[58:25] heavenly
[58:27] covenant
[58:29] transactions
[58:29] happen on
[58:30] the grounds
[58:31] of faith.
[58:33] God
[58:33] understands
[58:34] the language
[58:34] of faith
[58:35] and accepts
[58:36] the currency
[58:36] of faith.
[58:38] He doesn't
[58:38] accept
[58:38] dollars.
[58:39] God
[58:40] doesn't
[58:40] accept
[58:40] pounds.
[58:42] Some of
[58:43] you didn't
[58:43] know.
[58:44] God
[58:44] doesn't
[58:44] like your
[58:45] pounds.
[58:47] Because
[58:48] it's not
[58:48] enough for
[58:49] him.
[58:50] The
[58:50] smallest
[58:51] person in
[58:51] the kingdom
[58:52] with faith
[58:52] is more
[58:54] valuable to
[58:55] God than
[58:56] the richest
[58:56] man with
[58:57] our faith.
[58:58] Did somebody
[58:59] receive something?
