DEVELOPING UNSHAKABLE FAITH (Part 3)

Elements of dynamic faith

"We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak" 2 Corinthians 4:13

The spirit of faith here is the ATTITUDE of faith. This attitude is noticeable in people. You can know those who have it and those who do not. There are two elements of the spirit of faith in the scripture above.

DEVELOPING UNSHAKBLE FAITH (Part 2)

 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17

Faith is a spiritual substance that is transported into our spirit through the word. Faith is a force that energizes the human spirit for response. Faith does not function in your mind; it functions in your spirit.

DEVELOPING UNSHAKABLE FAITH (Part 1)

 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrew 11:1

Faith is what gives substance to our hopes. Faith makes the invisible real to us. Faith for the Christian is more than a subject. Faith is for living. Faith is the core of Christianity. Faith is the foundation of victorious Christian living. Moving from victory to victory is by moving from faith to faith.

UNDERSTANDING THE POWER OF INTERNAL CHANGE

Where the mind goes the man goes.

How you think determines where you go and what happens in your life. Your way of thinking determines what you do or don't do. It is your way of thinking that governs the output of your life. And Satan’s strategy is to influence people's thinking.

WHAT SPEAKING FROM YOUR BELIEVING PRODUCES

Satan's trick is to get you to speak out of line with the word of God by tempering with your environment. He wants to affect you internally by tempering the externals. He will engineer circumstances to create fear and unbelief in your heart. If you will not allow what you see and feel to contradict your faith, your victory is unstoppable.

THE POWER OF TRANSFORMED THINKING

For as he thinketh in his heart so is he proverb 23:7{KJV}

There is a secret that is hidden from many people in this world. It is the fact that we create our experiences in life by our thoughts. The happenings in our lives are created by the happenings in our thoughts.

 When we talk about thought we are talking about one of the major function of our mind. The human mind is spiritual and powerful. Your thoughts are processed in your mind. Your thoughts are processed based on the character of your information.

 Everything you have been through in your life has already created a customized thought pattern in your mind. You are the way you are because of the way you think; you do the things you do because of the way you think.

 

Each individual is what he is, and his life is what it is, and his circumstances are what they are, simply as a result of his thoughts. What a man thinks he becomes; what a man thinks is the mainstream of his actions; what a man thinks attracts to him his circumstances and environment; what a man thinks determines what type of friends and companions will gather around him; what a man thinks decides whether he shall be happy or miserable, successful or unsuccessful, healthy or unhealthy, prosperous or poverty-stricken, hated or loved. 

… be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind… Romans 12:2{KJV}

God has given us the power to change our lives by renewing our mind. How do we renew our mind? We renew our mind with the word of God. The word is given to us to live by. It is given to us so we can program our life by it and walk in victories. The word of God carries transforming power. It carries the ability to change our life and circumstances.

 The challenge with many believers is that they don’t know how to create these changes in their lives. The truth is that our life is transform by the renewing of our mind. The Word changes our thinking. It transforms our thought life and changes our perception about life. The better your thinking, the better your lives. The more glorious your thought life, the more glorious your lives will be.

God has already given you a glorious life of success and victory. Let the word transform your thought life and you will see your life metamorphosed from one degree of glory to another.

WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER ACCEPT POVERTY

God blessed them and said to them, “be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground. Genesis 1:28” {NIV}

The first mandate God gave man was to be fruitful. Poverty was not part of God’s plan for man. Everything man will ever need was created in abundance by God before he made man. God looked at everything he created and they were very good.

Satan tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and they fell. They fell from their throne as the ruler of the earthly realm. They swapped their authority for captivity. Satan became the god of the world. As a result of their disobedience, sickness, disease, poverty, death etc. came in to the world and impacted the life of mankind. God is not the author of poverty. Poverty is evil. Satan is the author.

Poverty is a condition of life where one is not able to help himself.It's a condition of life where one is scrapping through life. Poverty is more than a mind-set. There is a spirit behind it. It’s called the spirit of poverty. It maneuvers people’s thinking and enforces lack and wants in their lives. It keeps people destitute and bound them to a life of lack. It blinds people’s mind to their prosperity in God.

Listen, if you are a child of God, and you are living in poverty, get up and rebuke the spirit of poverty in the name of Jesus. You are not supposed to be poor anymore. Jesus had crushed sin and its effects. Jesus had conquered poverty for you. You have been made a victor over this world. Don’t accept poverty. It is not for you.

For you know the grace of our lord Jesus Christ, for though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich .2 Corinthians 8:9{NIV}

You are now blessed in Christ Jesus. Jesus has made you rich. Let the reality of who you are in Christ Jesus dominate your consciousness at all time. Start thinking and talking like a rich and blessed man because that is who you are. Declare the word boldly. Declare who you are and what belongs to you in Christ. Refuse to be small. Refuse to be contained. Refuse to be limited. There is an abundant life ordained for you in Christ.

Beloved, i wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 2{KJV}

Forget about your circumstances; agree with the word of God. The word will pull you out and cause you to walk in the blessings that God has already given to you.
