How Do I Live by Faith?

NOW THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: BUT IF ANY MAN DRAW BACK, MY SOUL SHALL HAVE NO PLEASURE IN HIM
(Hebrews 10:38).

What is faith? How do we live by faith, every day, moment-by-moment?

NOW FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN
(Hebrews 11:1).

FAITH is the substance of things-HOPED-for, the evidence of things-not-seen. What are these things-not-seen that we are hoping for? How do we receive these things-HOPED-for that we cannot see? Why do we need to hope for things-not-seen?

CALL TO ME AND I WILL ANSWER YOU AND TELL YOU GREAT AND UNSEARCHABLE THINGS YOU DO NOT KNOW
(Jeremiah 33:3).

In my life, these things-not-seen that I have been hoping for are the personal promises God has given me before He supplies the things-not-seen. My faith becomes the evidence that I am hoping for those personal promises to be fulfilled, in God’s time, even when the FACTS and CONCLUSIONS of my current circumstances show me there is nothing to hope for, because there is no evidence.

But, in order to have received personal promises from God—things-not-seen—I needed to have a deep, personal relationship with God, first. I needed to make Him my eternal God, my Refuge—the One who holds me in His eternal arms, during difficult circumstances.

THE ETERNAL GOD IS THY REFUGE, AND UNDERNEATH ARE THE EVERLASTING ARMS
(Deuteronomy 33:27).

God always tells us ahead of time what to expect, so we may have faith—so we may hope for things-not-seen. Do you live in a real relationship with God? Then, what are the personal promises for which you are hoping—the evidence of things-not-seen? Are your circumstances difficult, at the moment? Find out what God has already promised you in regards to your current circumstances. If you cannot find any promises to hope for, find God. Ask Him to show you something about your circumstances. Anything that God shows you about your circumstances will be a personal promise to you from God—a thing-not-seen that you can hope for. This is how you will live by FAITH, moment-by-moment, every day.

PRAYER: My Lord, I come to You during my difficult circumstances. I seek Your Presence and Your Participation. Show me the things-not-seen for which You want me to hope, today.

Thus, the OLD MAN became the origin of sin that causes the effect of sin in each of us. The OLD MAN is where it all started and where it all ends…unless we are delivered from it.

Let Patience Have Its Perfect Work

MY BRETHREN, COUNT IT ALL JOY WHEN YOU FALL INTO VARIOUS TRIALS, KNOWING THAT THE TESTING OF YOUR FAITH PRODUCES PATIENCE. BUT LET PATIENCE HAVE ITS PERFECT WORK, THAT YOU MAY BE PERFECT AND COMPLETE, LACKING NOTHING
(James 1:2-4).

Have you ever wondered what makes your trials so unbearable? Is it the words someone spoke? Is it the actions you or someone did? Is it your current circumstances that are not working out? Or is it the CONCLUSIONS about these words, actions, and circumstances that make these trials seem so bad?

BE JOYFUL IN HOPE, PATIENT IN AFFLICTION, FAITHFUL IN PRAYER
(Romans 12:12).

To be patient means “to be able to remain calm and not become annoyed when waiting for a long time or when dealing with problems or difficult people.”

I bless you to count it pure joy whenever your conclusions cause you to want to run away, give up, hide somewhere, or blame someone for the things that are not working out in your life.  Understand that these conclusions provide the opportunity to know the Truth about yourself, others, and God; but, you need to be PATIENT. In order to know the Truth, you need to remain calm and submit your CONCLUSIONS about your circumstances to the Lord Jesus. He will tell you the Truth…and His Truth will produce a harvest of Righteousness and Peace in your heart.

ENDURE HARDSHIP AS DISCIPLINE
(Hebrews 12:7).

Be encouraged that Patience is something intrinsically valuable to God. It is while you are calmly submitting your CONCLUSIONS to Him that He has the opportunity to produce a harvest of Righteousness and Peace in your life, so you may be perfect and complete.

NO DISCIPLINE SEEMS PLEASANT AT THE TIME, BUT PAINFUL. LATER ON, HOWEVER, IT PRODUCES A HARVEST OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PEACE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED BY IT
(Hebrews 12:11).

 Which conclusions are you facing right now that might serve as an opportunity for God to produce a harvest of Righteousness and Peace in your life?

PRAYER: My Lord, I submit my CONCLUSIONS about the words people spoke to me and about the deeds people did against me, to You. Help me to understand that I cannot run away from my own CONCLUSIONS that live in my own mind, because they will follow me wherever I go. Use these conclusions to produce a harvest of Righteousness and Peace in my heart, Lord God—to make me perfect and complete, in the midst of my trials

Know that you cannot be a friend of the Light and be a friend of darkness, at the same time. Darkness and Light do not mix. They are incompatible. You are either in the dark, or in the light.

But God Will Redeem My Soul

Once upon a time, humans lived according to spiritual principles—indwelled by God’s Spirit and covered by God’s Love, Hope, and Truth.  They thought God’s thoughts and lived in God’s Light, uninterrupted by negative thoughts, far-fetched imaginations, and senseless arguments.  There was no darkness in their minds and no pain in their hearts.  They had LIFE.

FOR WE KNOW THAT THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL: BUT I AM CARNAL, SOLD UNDER SIN
(Romans 7:14).

But then the unthinkable happened.  We decided to disobey God and listen to a different counsel—the oppressing thoughts of the FATHER-OF-LIES. Our obedience to this new counsel sold us into slavery under the control of the father-of-lies and turned off God’s LIFE inside of us. Thus, we became empty—void of God’s Love, Hope, and Truth.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE
(John 3:16).

But, we received a second chance—JESUS!  He died to repurchase us from slavery to the father-of-lies and his counsel. Then He became alive to become our LIFE, from the inside-out. Through His Life, we were once again connected to God’s Love, Hope, and Truth.

BUT GOD WILL REDEEM MY SOUL FROM THE POWER OF THE GRAVE: FOR HE SHALL RECEIVE ME
(Psalm 49:15).

Are you perishing? Your Redeemer came to redeem your life from the pit into which you have fallen. Are you too messed up to be FIXED? He did not come to FIX you. He came to REPLACE your life…with His Life. Are you empty—void of Love, Hope, and Truth? God came to redeem your soul from the power of the grave. All He asks is that you believe in Him.

PRAISE THE LORD, MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS—
WHO FORGIVES ALL YOUR SINS
AND HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES,
WHO REDEEMS YOUR LIFE FROM THE PIT
AND CROWNS YOU WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION,
WHO SATISFIES YOUR DESIRES WITH GOOD THINGS
SO THAT YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S”
(Psalm 103:2-5).

How would you like to take advantage of your Second Chance—Jesus?

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I praise You for being my Second Chance. Come and redeem me from the counsel of the father-of-lies and clothe me with Your Life, from the inside-out.

When I Fail

Oswald Chambers once said, “When a person fails in his personal Christian life, it is usually because he has never received anything.”

JOHN ANSWERED AND SAID, A MAN CAN RECEIVE NOTHING, EXCEPT IT BE GIVEN HIM FROM HEAVEN
(John 3:27).

I bless you to sing a new song of joy, today.  Jesus came to give you what you need, so you do not have to fail anymore.

HITHERTO HAVE YE ASKED NOTHING IN MY NAME: ASK, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE, THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL
(John 16:24).

Do you need acceptance?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need goodness?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need kindness?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need joy?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need faith?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need hope?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need comfort?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need light?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need life?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need healing?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need forgiveness?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need belonging?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need affirmation?  Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need love? Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need strength? Receive it from Jesus!
Do you need a miracle? Receive it from Jesus!

PRAISE THE LORD, MY SOUL, AND FORGET NOT ALL HIS BENEFITS—
WHO FORGIVES ALL YOUR SINS AND HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES,
WHO REDEEMS YOUR LIFE FROM THE PIT
AND CROWNS YOU WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION,
WHO SATISFIES YOUR DESIRES WITH GOOD THINGS
SO THAT YOUR YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S
(Psalm 103:2-5).

What do you need?  At what are you failing?

Come to the Lord Jesus, just the way you are, and ask Him for what you need, in faith. It is as simple as that.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, thank you that I may ask You for anything I need, no matter how small or large my request is, so I may receive, and my joy may be full.

If you surrender your pain to the father-of-lies, he will coax you into sinful solutions of hiding, blaming, and running. He will take you down that broad road of destruction where he will kill you from the inside out.

Seek and You Will Find God

YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME WHEN YOU SEEK ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART
(Jeremiah 29:13).

I have been very encouraged by the ways God has allowed me to find Him after I have sought Him with all my heart.  I have learned to lay my request at His feet…and then look to Him with expectation for the Answer.

He does not always answer in the way I expect Him to answer.  He does not always answer in the timing I allow Him.  He does not always answer in the place I watch for Him.  However, He always answers.

I have become excited about the ways God speaks.  Sometimes, His Power hits suddenly and vividly like a lightning bolt, all at once.  Sometimes, His Counsel blows in smoothly and quietly like a gentle sea breeze.  Sometimes, His Truth trickles in like raindrops, drop by drop, until the bucket is full and the Answer is complete.

HE MOVES MOUNTAINS WITHOUT THEIR KNOWING IT AND OVERTURNS THEM IN HIS ANGER
(Job 9:5).

I bless you to know that when you do not hear from God and it feels like He has abandoned you, He IS working on your case.  Understand that you might not see Him working, but He IS working behind the scenes.  Be encouraged that He IS busy moving the mountains.  Sometimes, that mountain is an oppressing belief in your own heart.  Sometimes, that mountain is a wrong perspective in someone else’s heart.  Sometimes, that mountain is a circumstance.

Do not always expect an instant answer and instant solution. Mountains are not always moved in a second.  Sometimes it takes time to move mountains. Have faith. Let Him have His way.

AND WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD, BECAUSE ANYONE WHO COMES TO HIM MUST BELIEVE THAT HE EXISTS AND THAT HE REWARDS THOSE WHO EARNESTLY SEEK HIM
(Hebrews 11:6).

Believe that God WILL reward you if you seek Him earnestly.  He has done it for me.  He will do it for you. 

When you seek God, seek Him with all your heart. Present your request to Him, but also expect an Answer from Him. Do not just present your request and walk away. Listen for the lightning bolt. Wait for the sea breeze. Look for the raindrops.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, build Your Faith in my heart, so that I may never forget that the Perfect Father DOES reward those who earnestly seek Him, even if it takes some time.

Sin is not something mysterious…something unexplainable…something that happens to you. Sin does not stand alone. It does not happen by itself. Sinful solutions have a source—the source of the OLD MAN.

When Love Fails

Posted by

Have you ever gone through the pain of disillusionment, when you stopped believing in love? This pain makes a person feel alone. It makes you feel that there is nobody on your side, nobody you can trust, and nobody to take care of your heart. It makes you feel that LOVE does not exist, because real LOVE would have intervened for your heart when it was hurting. Real LOVE would have been kind when you were going through a hard time. Real LOVE would have been patient and gentle when you did not understand. It would not have dishonored you during a time when you needed stability, or kept a record of your wrongs when you did not know what was right. It would have persevered when you failed.

FEAR THE LORD, YOU HIS SAINTS, FOR THOSE WHO FEAR HIM LACK NOTHING
(Psalm 34:9).

You need to know that there is a reason for the pain of disillusionment. There is a reason why love fails. The reason is SIN—the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies and their effects on our hearts. You need to take SIN in consideration when someone failed you—where there was a lack of gentleness and patience when you needed understanding, where there was no kindness when you made a mistake, where there was a grudge when you needed grace. When you understand this, you will stop having such high expectations of everybody. You will stop keeping records of their wrongs, because you know the source from which these wrongs originated. You will become patient, kind, and gentle, because you understand the reason for their bad, sad, and mad behavior.

BUT FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING THE LORD’S LOVE IS WITH THOSE WHO FEAR HIM
(Psalm 103:17).

I bless you to know that there is a different Source available for you to live from. It is the Source of real LOVE. This everlasting LOVE always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres, even when your heart is hurting, when you make a mistake, and when your love fails. Believe in this Source…and you will lack nothing.

THE LORD IS FAITHFUL TO ALL HIS PROMISES AND LOVING TOWARD ALL HE HAS MADE
(Psalm 145:13).

What have you done with the pain of disillusionment—when love was not there for you when you needed it the most?

PRAYER: I revere you, Lord God, for Your Love is from everlasting to everlasting. Your Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Because of Your Love, I lack nothing.

Since the beginning of our lives, the OLD MAN beliefs of abandonment, shame, condemnation, and rejection have been firmly planted in our minds and hearts by the father-of-lies.

The Serpent Deceived Me, so I Ate

THEN THE LORD GOD SAID TO THE WOMAN, ‘WHAT IS THIS YOU HAVE DONE?’THE WOMAN SAID, ‘THE SERPENT DECEIVED ME, AND I ATE’
(Genesis 3:13).

“My friend was rude to me, so I ate of the fruit the enemy offered me.”
“My boss made a snide comment, so I ate of the fruit the enemy offered me.”
“My husband did not love me, so I ate of the fruit the enemy offered me.”
“My wife disrespected me, so I ate of the fruit the enemy offered me.”

I bless you to understand that the enemy, the father-of-lies, will offer you his fruit, every day, to cause sin to reign in your mortal body “SO THAT YOU OBEY ITS EVIL DESIRES”
(Romans 6:12).

Know that the evil one will offer you the fruit of enmity, strife, fear, jealousy, mistrust, anger, fits of rage, animosity, depression, and selfishness.  Moreover, he will offer his fruit along with the excuse, “She offered me the fruit. I had no excuse. I had to eat it.”

I bless you to know that you DO NOT HAVE TO EAT THE FRUIT THE ENEMY OFFERS YOU, even when someone is hateful, manipulative, or condemning.

SUBMIT YOURSELVES, THEN, TO GOD. RESIST THE DEVIL, AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU
(James 4:7).

You have a choice: you can eat of the fruit the enemy offers you when someone says or does something selfish to you…or you can resist obedience to the father-of-lies, and submit your pain to God, instead.

Submit yourself, then, to God, and resist the father-of-lies…and he will leave you alone.

What do you do with the fruit the father-of-lies offers you, daily, moment-by-moment?

How might the teaching in this message lead you to deal differently with these temptations, from now on?

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, remind me, daily, that I DO NOT HAVE TO EAT THE FRUIT THE ENEMY OFFERS ME, even when someone is hateful, manipulative, or condemning toward me. May I choose, moment-by-moment, to resist obedience to the father-of-lies and to submit my pain to You, instead. Then, the devil will flee form me, each time.

A Light Has Dawned

THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU; THE LORD MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON YOU, AND BE GRACIOUS TO YOU; THE LORD LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON YOU, AND GIVE YOU PEACE
(Numbers 6:24-26).

Are you living in the land of the shadow of death?  Are you surrounded by the deepest gloom?  Are you walking in stark darkness?

Is your gloom caused by the belief that you have come to the end of your resources and that everything is in vain?  Is your darkness caused by the belief that it is too late to ask God for help? Are you living in the land of the shadow of death, because you feel your anger and bitterness have made your heart inaccessible to God’s healing?

INDEED, THE DARKNESS SHALL NOT HIDE FROM YOU, BUT THE NIGHT SHINES AS THE DAY; THE DARKNESS AND THE LIGHT ARE BOTH ALIKE TO YOU
(Psalm 139:12).

Precious Child, do not despair in your darkness. I, the Most High, can see deep inside your wounded heart. Nothing is hidden from Me, for darkness and light are both alike to Me. I am here to bless you and keep you, to shine My Face upon you and be gracious to you, to lift My Countenance upon you, and give you Peace.

HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF DARKNESS AND THE DEEPEST GLOOM AND BROKE AWAY THEIR CHAINS
(Psalm 107:14).

Be encouraged, Child. I can see what you cannot see. I can recognize what you cannot recognize. I can understand what you cannot understand.  Darkness does not hide from Me.  Gloom does not intimidate Me.  The land of the shadow of death is not unfamiliar to Me.

Take heart! On you who are living in the land of the shadow of death a Light has dawned. I, the God of Light, stand ready to bring you out of your darkness and the deepest gloom and break away your chains. Only, invite Me into your land of the shadow of death.  I will do the rest.

THE PEOPLE WALKING IN DARKNESS HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT; ON THOSE LIVING IN THE LAND OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH A LIGHT HAS DAWNED
(Isaiah 9:2).

If you want to come out of your land of the shadow of death, find the negative, destructive beliefs from the father-of-lies that are causing the doom, dread, and despair in your heart. Then, invite the God of Light into this place. Allow Him to shine His Face upon you and be gracious to you. He will break away your chains and bring you out of darkness.

PRAYER: Most High, how comforting to know that darkness and light are both alike to You. I invite You into my land of the shadow of death. Come and lift Your Countenance upon me and give me Peace. Break away my chains. Then, take my hand and lead me out of this gloom, so I may be set free from my beliefs of doom, dread, and despair.

I am the Vine, You Are the Branches

I have heard many ministers preach: “Get rid of anger.  Release your bitterness.  Forgive yourself.”  Others instruct: “Don’t care what others think of you.  Do not let others manipulate you.  Rid yourself from the expectations of others.”  Then again, many people advise: “Get rid of your fears.  Break past your bondages.  Free yourself from these blockages.”

I have tried all the above.  I tried for twenty years.  It did not work.  I could not accomplish any of these self-help methods by myself. I could not stop caring what others thought of me. I could not stop myself from being manipulated by others. I did not have the power to rid myself of others’ expectations, nor the wisdom to let go of my bitterness, nor the patience to change. I needed a Savior who could break my bondage of anger and the unwillingness to forgive, a Redeemer who could remove my multitude of fears, a Deliverer who could release my blockage of bitterness.  I needed Jesus.

I AM THE VINE; YOU ARE THE BRANCHES. IF A MAN REMAINS IN ME AND I IN HIM, HE WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT; APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING
(John 15:5).

Blessed One, I want you to know that, in your own strength, you are not able to get rid of any fears, permanently.  You are not able to free yourself from bondage.  On your own, you are not able to get rid of anger.  I, Jesus Christ, need to do this for you, because without Me you are helpless, powerless, and hopeless against the father-of-lies who instilled these bondages and blockages in your heart in the first place. He is the one who subjected you to the law of sin and death; therefore, you need Me, your Redeemer, to bring you under My Law of Life.

FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HAS MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH
(Romans 8:2).

I bless you to invite the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus to free you from your iniquities.  Bring your angry heart, numbed by bitterness and unwillingness to forgive, to the Spirit of Jesus, to be resurrected. Bring your mind that has been deadened by fears to the Spirit of Jesus, to be renewed. Yield your heart that cares so much about what others think of you to the Spirit of Jesus, to be replaced. You will see the bondages broken and the blockages removed.

In which ways have you tried to get rid of your bondages? Did you succeed? Have you become desperate enough to try something, or rather, Someone new—to crown the Lord Jesus as Savior of your life and ask Him to do what you have not been able to do yourself?

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I crown You as Lord and Savior of my life. I admit that I have not been able to get rid of the blockages and bondages in my life. Therefore, I invite Your Presence and Your Participation into my life, O Lord. Become my Savior, my Redeemer, and my Refuge in all aspects of my life.

A Broken Heart

Posted by

All my life, I wanted to be good. I wanted a heart filled with Goodness…Righteousness…Holiness.  However, MY HEART WAS BAD.  It was filled with deceit. It felt as if my heart was a black chunk of broken, decayed flesh that could not be revived, rejuvenated, or regenerated. Because I felt so ashamed of this tattered heart, I desperately tried to hide it.  To me it became a matter of life and death to prove that my heart was “good,” so people would not find out that it was bad.  That made matters worse, for I ended up with many desperate, sinful habits and patterns of defense that fought for my heart.  These behavior patterns caused me to feel even more ashamed.

THE HEART IS DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS AND BEYOND CURE. WHO CAN UNDERSTAND IT?
(Jeremiah 17:9).

Beautiful One, you need to know that your heart is not bad. It is broken. The father-of-lies is responsible for your tattered heart.  While you were growing up, he filled your heart with deceit—one accusatory lie after the other.  Eventually, the deceit accumulated, until your heart ripped apart, oozing with shame, condemnation, rejection, and abandonment.  Out of this broken heart came evil thoughts and bad conduct.

 FOR OUT OF THE HEART COME EVIL THOUGHTS, MURDER, ADULTERY, SEXUAL IMMORALITY, THEFT, FALSE TESTIMONY, SLANDER
(Matthew 15:19).

 Child, because of the excess of deceit that accumulated in your heart, over the years, it cannot be fixed. It can only be replaced. If you bring your tattered heart to Me, just the way it is, I will remove it and give you a new heart—MY HEART! Will you accept My Gift?

I WILL GIVE YOU A NEW HEART AND PUT A NEW SPIRIT IN YOU; I WILL REMOVE FROM YOU YOUR HEART OF STONE AND GIVE YOU A HEART OF FLESH
(Ezekiel 36:26).

Today I have a new heart—GOD’S HEART.  I do not have to adopt sinful habits and patterns of defense to hide my black broken heart from the world, anymore.  I do not have to feel ashamed, condemned, rejected, and abandoned, anymore. God gave me His very own Heart, filled with Goodness, Righteousness, and Holiness.

Stop trying to fix your black broken heart. You are only making matters worse. Instead, ask the Lord Jesus to give you a new heart. Ask Him to remove the heart of stone that formed in you as a result of the negative, destructive beliefs of the father-of-lies.  And He will give you HIS VERY OWN HEART, in the place of yours.

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, today I ask You to replace my broken, deceitful heart with a new heart—Your Heart.
