Faith In Him
I. You got to get fully
persuaded in every one of those areas; when you do that, that’s fullness of
faith that will get results in your life
A.
One thing that costs many believers in
their faith is relying on their intellect and what they “know” instead
of opening this Word, finding the scripture that proves what they “know,” and
then engaging that scripture through their spirit by faith, working with it.
1.
You might know that God the healer exists, He
can heal you, He will heal you, He has done everything necessary for you to
have healing and is offering healing to you, but don’t rely on what you “know,”
because faith isn’t built of what you know from the Word, it’s built off of
what you you’re exposed to from this Word.
Open the Word, find the scriptures that prove God the healer exists, He
can heal, He will heal, He has done it, He is offering to it you and engage
those scriptures with your spirit by faith and work with it.
B.
To walk in fullness of faith where you are
fully persuaded in your belief that you have received you have to take the time
engage the divine order of
faith; you first have to believe in God, then you have to believe God can, next
you have to believe God will, and you have to believe God’s done it and is
offering it to you
1.
Believing is not revealed in what you say in
comfortable times, but it is revealed in what you say and do in times of
pressure
2.
You can’t just know those, you have to stir
your faith up and believe those things
II. Believing in God-His reality
or existence-Believing there is a God?
A.
You MUST
believe that He is (Hebrews 11:6)

Must-Necessity in reference to what is required to attain some end
a.
Mur-For he that draweth
near to God, must believe his existence
b.
TCNT-For he who comes to God must believe that God exists
c.
Wey-But where there is no faith it is
impossible truly to please Him; for the man who draws near to God must believe that there is a God and
that He proves Himself a rewarder of those who earnestly try to find Him.
2.
Existence-Live, being, animation; Reality-Actual being or existence of
anything, truth
3.
Faith in his reality gives birth to the
beginning of hope
a.
Your victory, for the first time, becomes a
possibility
b.
Consider the woman with the issue of blood
the 1st time she heard that Jesus the healer exist (Mark 5:26-28)

expectation got greater
