God has made great efforts to redeem us from Satan and eternal death, and give us eternal life. The least we can do is take the time to learn to receive these very great and precious promises. 2 Peter 1:4. who were given promises for the largest and most valuable, as they will be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. These promises were given freely, but we have a responsibility to learn to receive and walk. They just did not fall on us. The Word of God says without faith it is impossible to please him. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that He rewards those who seek him. So, without faith it is not pleasing to God, but on the other side of the coin so to speak, with faith anything is possible. Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him: If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. Of course, this speaks of divine things. This must be our first step, to come to the knowledge and understanding of our heritage. Jesus said in Mark's Gospel ... Mark 11:23-25. and verily I say unto you, whoever says to this mountain, be removed and thrown into the sea, and no doubt in his heart but believes that what he says happens, he will have whatever he says . Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And when ye stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, as your heavenly Father will also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses. Jesus gave us an insight to believe and receive in this section of Scripture. It would be to our advantage to take note of what he said. His words are the words of life. Then look at this Scripture and see the truth to be communicated here. Firstly, the first thing he said to do is talk about this mountain. We all have mountains in our life that seem insurmountable, Jesus said to talk to them. You'll notice he did not say to believe that you have them. He believed that you receive, you will have them. You should receive the promise by faith first. Then you will see the event. Many people believe they have seen an outbreak in order to have faith, but that's not what Jesus said. Believe that you receive them, then and only then you will have them. There is a difference in believing that you receive and believe you. I think this is a big stumbling block in the body of Christ and many have fallen short of God's promises never realize when they failed. I know there are a lot of teaching on the theme of faith in this day later. Some people have got wrong and out of balance in their teaching, and many have taken things out of context and out of balance in their belief. But the Word of God is always true and there are certain spiritual truths that we all know and understand in order to walk the walk of faith. Try to stay in the middle of the road in what we believe and we will be ok. I would like to take a look at the woman with the issue of blood. There is a very important spiritual truth taught here that we can learn from. I use this scripture very often because it is a good example of someone who receives by faith. Mark 5:25-34. Now a certain woman of a stream of blood twelve years, and suffered many things of many physicians. She had spent everything she had and was no better but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came from behind in the crowd and touched his garment, for she said, If I only touch his garment, I shall be healed. Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned around in the crowd and said, Who touched my clothes? But his disciples told him: You see the crowd thronging You, and you say, Who touched me? And He looked around to see who had done it. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened, came and knelt before him and told him the whole truth. And He said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction. She said if I only touch his garment, I shall be healed. She told the witness that she would be healed if she touched. It was the first thing she does, she says. There are 2 parts in everything that we receive from God, that God plays the part and the part we play. God never fails to do its part if we are doing our part, we can be sure of an answer and the victory. The Word of God says in the book of Proverbs ... Proverbs 6:02 you are trapped by the words of your mouth, you're caught by the words of thy mouth. We need to start reporting a heart full of faith that God's promises are true. The victory is ours in Jesus Christ. The second thing that happened is that she acted on what she had already spoken of his mouth by faith. She did and touched the hem of his garment. We do not have Jesus in the physical sense that this lady had, yet we have great promise to stand. We can count on the Word of God to be true and faithful. It is our actions that defeat us or put us over. After she had acted on what she said, she then received the manifestation of her healing, she felt in her body that she was cured. It always happens that way. Feeling and healing following the entry and do it. She first said she came for her second, then and only then, she has received and felt in her body that she was healed. Then Jesus said to him ... Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be healed of your affliction. Jesus did not say his faith, but faith is what makes it even. Since Jesus said it was his faith, not faith, but faith which made him all her sorrow that we should take note and understand our role in things. The last thing that happened was she said. She came and prostrated themselves before him and told him the whole truth. She told it all she was healed, and God was glorified. Many people say it's being presumptuous, and we have no right to say anything God. I would say to that, we do not say anything to God, he has not already said in His word to say. We are online these words with his words. We will never succeed if we do not! We do not give the orders of God, He gave us orders and we just follow his instructions. We are not asking anything of God, we demand the devil. We are demanding he take his hands off the property of God in Jesus' name, according to the Word of God. It would be presumptuous if we tried to cajole God into something based on our own desires or whims not aligned with what he has said in His Word. We must do what the woman with the issue of blood did. Tell him to act on it, believe you receive it, and tell him. This is just one example of this type of faith in the Bible. We see many examples of people who receive God in this way. I would encourage you to find God's promises for your car. Then begin to meditate until they become real, and faith arises in your heart. Remember the promises God gave to Joshua ... Joshua 1:7-9. Be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses my servant commanded thee, thou shalt not depart from it in the right hand or left, that ye may prosper wherever you go. This book of the Law depart from your mouth, but you meditate day and night, you can observe to do according to all that is written. For then you make your way prosperous and then you have a good success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. Word To place God first in your life, and start acting like what he says is true. Praise be to God, he is, but you never know unless you ... speak it, do it, believe you receive it, you say. Putting God to the test and you will see he is faithful and just. If you want to be sure you are a child of God, then I invite you to pray this prayer with fervor. Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you in Jesus name. Your word says, "... and whoever comes to Me I will by no means cast out. "(Jn.6: 37), I know you do not reject me, but You take me, and I thank you. You said in your Word, "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.''(Romans 10:13). I am appealing to you, I know you have saved me now, You also said, "... that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For the heart one believes to righteousness, and in the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Ro.10: 9.10). I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe He rose from the dead for my justification. And I confess now that my Lord, Your Word says, "... with the heart believes in justice ... "and I believe with all my heart, I now have the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Cor. 5:21), And I am saved! Thank you, Lord! I can now say with all sincerity, I see myself as a born again child of God! Glory to God! Amen.
