The Unstoppable Exchange
FOUNDATION STATEMENT: When God offers
something to a person and that person makes a decision to receive by faith what
God is offering them, there is no force in existence that stop that exchange.
I. There is no power in
existence that can stop the exchange of grace and faith-Rom 10:8-10
A.
Mark 9:23-Jesus is revealing to this man that
if he we’ll take it by faith there is nothing that can stop what he wants to
happen from coming to pass
1.
All things are possible means nothing can
stop you if you can believe
B.
Romans 10:6-The unstoppable exchange revealed
1.
1-5-This is talking about how you receive
salvation/righteousness
a.
The principles of receiving with your faith
are the same in every area
2.
6,7-Faith doesn’t talk like something still
has to be done
a.
When people go to receiving from God, many
times they’ll say religious things
1)
Christ already came down from Heaven (I.E. I
just need a touch from Jesus)
2)
Christ is already raised from dead & in
Heaven (Touch Heaven w/ my prayer)
b.
Faith recognizes that the price has been
paid, the gift is being offered, and nothing else needs to happen except my
receiving
1)
People haven’t understand this about the
exchange; they don’t believe it’s done, it’s being offered & it keeps them
from taking what they need
2)
We don’t need to talk about who or what needs
to be touched you need to take it by faith
3.
8-The word is nigh thee-The answer is near,
at hand, and ready
a.
The answer is in your mouth and in your heart
b.
You take things by faith by believing with
your heart and saying with your mouth
c.
The Word of Faith-Everything has
been done & you take it by believing & speaking
4.
9-If thou-Notice we aren’t talking about God,
Jesus or what they have to do, but we’re talking about what you have to do (You
are the subject here)
a.
The reason we’re talking about you and not
them is because their part is done
5.
11,12-Whosoever
rises up & takes it by faith will get grace and not be disappointed
a.
If you’re the worst sinner this universe has
ever seen, If you’re sicker than anybody has ever been, broker than anybody has
ever been, more addicted than anybody has ever been, if you do this you’ll be
delivered
b.
The spiritual death, the sickness, the lack,
the addiction no matter how great it is, can’t stop this exchange from working;
ur problem is no match for the exchange
c.
12-It doesn’t matter who you are or what
you’re problem is, anybody who rises up in faith will see the riches of God’s
grace
6.
13-This reveals to us the unstoppable of
exchange
a.
No matter who they are or what they need
saving from
C.
When you made the decision to receive the
salvation that was being offered to you by grace with your faith all the devils
in hell couldn’t keep that from happening
1.
The same holds true in the area of healing,
deliverance, and prosperity; if you make the decision to take what God is
offering you by faith no devil and hell can keep that thing from manifesting
II. Satan has no answer for the
power of this exchange; He has no answer for grace, he has no answer for faith
and when these two forces work together there is such power in it that Satan
cannot stop it
A.
Satan has no answer for grace-Romans 5:17, 2 Cor 12:9
1.
CEV- where sin was powerful, God's kindness
was even more powerful.
2.
ESV- where sin increased, grace abounded all
the more
3.
MSG- But sin didn't, and doesn't, have a
chance in competition with the aggressive forgiveness we call grace. When it's
sin versus grace, grace wins hands down. All sin can do is threaten us with
death, and that's the end of it. Grace, because God is putting everything
together again through the Messiah, invites us into life—a life that goes
on and on and on, world without end.
4.
Phillips-Though sin is shown to be wide and deep, thank God his grace is wider and deeper still!
5.
NLT-But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant.
B.
Satan has no answer for faith-1 John 5:4,
Romans 10:11
1.
If you put your faith in God you’ll be
delivered every time
C.
When people of faith decide to rise up in
faith and take the grace God is offering no demon in hell can stop that
exchange
1.
Daniel 3-The three Hebrews
a.
He will deliver us; they took their
deliverance
2.
1 Samuel 17-David
a.
This day will the Lord deliver you into my
hand; he took his victory
3.
Mark 5-Woman with the issue of blood
a.
If I but touch the hem of his garment I’ll be
made whole-She took her healing
b.
28 (AMP)-She wouldn’t let go of it
D.
Even in the most impossible situations when a
person of faith rises up in faith and takes what they need by faith nothing can
stop it from coming to pass
III. Faith takes it and doesn’t
let go
A.
Faith never lets go of what it has received
until it manifests
1.
Hebrews 6:12-The way you started, you stay
the same until it manifests
a.
Patience says to trouble you aren’t going to
change me, so you have to change
2.
No matter what faith is convinced that it has
had it since the day it possessed it
B.
The enemy has no answer for a man who won’t
change (Jairus wouldn’t change)
1.
Luke 8:15-You bring forth fruit by not
changing
2.
Hebrews 10:23, 4:14-Hold fast to the
confession of your faith without wavering
3.
John 8:32, Gal 6:9-You have to continue and
not get weary and you will reap
4.
Mark 4:16-He came after that Word
5.
It’s a fight of faith and the fight of faith
is “I’m not changing”
