According To Your Faith...
Faith is Being Sure Hebrews 11:1-30
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
The Faith of Abel, Enoch, Noah
4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
The Faith of Abraham
8By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 12Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
17By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begottenson, 18Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
The Faith of Isaac, Jacob, Joseph
20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. 22By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
The Faith of Moses
23By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. 24By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
30By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
Matthew 8:5-10-Centurion-had faith enough to just say the word Lord....such great faith
Matthew 8:24-26-disciples got scared because of the storm...Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith!?
Matthew 9:18-25-ruler worshipped him first...the woman w/ the issue of blood...your faith hath made thee whole...
Matthew 9:27-30-according to your faith be it unto you..
Matthew 14:22-31-Jesus left the scene..tested them...fear..doubt..Jesus tested Peter..walked on water, but he became afraid and sunk! O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt!?
Matthew 15:22-28-O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt.
Matthew 17:20
Matthew 21:20-22
Romans 10:17
Romans 12:3
Hebrews 10:38-just shall live by faith!
Faith...trusting...depending on God to live..
Increase in our faith...encourage others' faith...listen to the Word...confess the Word...the more we hear it, the more it we believe it..
by faith we praise Him for what He is going to do! Thank Him for what He is going to do!
Romans 14:23- And he that doubteth is damned if he could eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin....eat what!? The Word...is our daily bread...our spirits need a fresh drink and bread...as our physcials need bread and water!
Do not ever lose your faith...no matter what it looks like, smells like, feels like, what the report says...we choose to have faith in our God Almighty!! He has overcome for us!!
Have faith and believe!! Don't let our circumstances laver our faith!
Need more faith...get more Word into your spirit!
When we don't have faith...we are choosing the opposite...when it comes to God we are choosing to believe a lie that comes from the devil. Just like to Eve, he made her doubt her faith and twist God's Word for her to sin.
