Part 2: Walking by faith: living from the inside out. What is that?
It's simply living by the word in you refusing to allow all the evil influences and distractions of the world to inspire and control you.
The word in you is the Fathers word. Jn:17-14, Jesus said Father I have given them thy word, Can we as children of God trust the integrity of the Father's word
Listen to the Psalms:119-142
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
142 Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.
Ps:119,97-101 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
It's going to take faith to hold fast to what you have in Christ because our enemy want to take you out in so much as you are his greatest threat to cripple and leave him harmless and ineffective. He know his time is short and where his end will be, in the fire forever and he want to take you with him.
People of God that don't have to happen, I have shown you in prior lessons that the Lord have given us the believer, power over all the power of our enemy Satan the devil. Lk:10-19,
What if some don't believe, do that make the power of none effect, God forbid: that's on them, every man is a free agent to make his own choices. As a man thinks so is he.
You must have confidence and assurance in God that he has given us all we need to be a success in things that pertain to life and godliness. We are to find out what it is God has given us the believer and began to start using it. Jn;17-14, I have given them thy word. God has put everything we need in his word.
Ephe:1,15-23.... read it
2Corth:4,3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:Faith has two main components, Believe and Action, not just believe.
When you walk by faith, it takes boldness, courage, and trust knowing God is with you. What did God tell Joshua: Josh1-8 (Be bold be strong for the Lord thy God is with thee)
When you walk by faith, it takes boldness, courage, and trust knowing God is with you. What did God tell Joshua: Josh1-8 (Be bold be strong for the Lord thy God is with thee)
This is how we have to be in these last days knowing we are in covenant with God. If you are walking in obedience to his word he will not let you down.
If people had a better understanding of covenant and the blood of Jesus, many of the questions people in the body of Christ are asking would have been answered. For ex. How can I be clean living in an unclean world?...
Is:6,1-6 If you are under the protection of the Blood of Jesus you don't have to be concerned about anything unclean, Jesus didn't the Apostles or Paul didn't, why should you, it's the anointing that destroy the yoke.
When you came out of the water at the Baptism you were anointed just as Jesus was.
When Jesus took his blood to the Father in heaven to be received of him, this was a blood covenant between the Father and Jesus confirming the new covenant and the priesthood of Melchisedec in his blood. If you are in Christ you are a beneficiary of that covenant, the most powerful covenant ever cut between God and God.
Jesus said this is the new testament or covenant in my blood, everything the Father promised Christ, that promise is to you also. You are and heir of God and a joint heir with Christ. Rom;8-17
Rom:8-17 All of this is a part of you knowing who you are and what belong to you in Christ.
We know the devil is a spirit, but Jesus gave us power over him. Your words are spirit and when you say to that devil your words will go where he is and destroy his works, IF YOU DON'T DOUBT.
A faith definitions: trust in, rely on, be fully persuaded, God is able to do what he says AND BRING FORTH A PERFORMANCE OF THE SPOKEN WORD.
All that's saying is – “Believe God” then act on what you believe. The authority of the believer is delegated power and authority, the strength of that power is the force behind it which is Jesus.
To know God or have faith in him you must repent and come through Jesus, keep his commandments, abide in his love and obey his word of righteousness.
Jesus said I am the door Jn:10-9. He also said I am the way the truth.....Jn:3-16
You must believe that God is alive now and that he will reward you when you seek after him with your whole heart, believing he is the one and only true God, He said I know no other.
Is 44-6-8. When you walk by faith it shows the Lord you are dying to the flesh and rising up to live by and trust in the one and only true God.
In this lesson, we will talk about faith, how it comes and how to release it according to the scriptures so we can benefit from it and be a blessing. It take more than you reading the word, you need to understand what you are reading so you can benefit from it and be a blessing.
What is faith?
Heb:11-1...
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is belief and that's true but what else is it, what force is behind it:

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is belief and that's true but what else is it, what force is behind it:
Gal;5-6 faith worketh by love. The power of love is the force that drive your faith to accomplish it's goal and not return void. It become an unstoppable force except you get in the way by speaking doubt.
How do you release it? by speaking the word, claiming what's yours.
Jesus gave us a prefect example: Mk:11,11-21 read it
Start Here >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Lk:12-31 Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all things will be added. Where is the kingdom? Lk:17,20-21 the kingdom is within you or among you. Jesus walked among the people, he represented his kingdom and told you about it.
Your faith is the material, that tangible thing, it's the matter, the stuff you're hoping for you don't see, that will materialize if you don't doubt.
Where are these things? In the spirit, in a realm, you can't see in but your faith can and will go get the very thing you hope for and manifest it if you don't doubt.
Where are these things? In the spirit, in a realm, you can't see in but your faith can and will go get the very thing you hope for and manifest it if you don't doubt.
2Corth:4-18 If what you are hoping for is a promise of God, the substance of your hope is your faith: in you, where God's Spirit abides that's if his spirit abide in you. (Rom:8-9) we have to call it out like God did. (Rom:4-17).
Anything God promised us in his word that's for now we can have it now, and there's plenty. God has a stock pile of goods for the believer that's ready and available for us to enjoy now if we only believe. His literal Kingdom that will be established in the earth will take care of itself at the appointed time in the future.
2Corth:1-20...
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him, Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Were talking about living from the inside out, is his Spirit in you that's where all the promises and his blessings are, Jesus is the surety or guarantee of every promise God made to him, there in you waiting for your call.

We have to call them out like God did and if we don't doubt they will manifest. In Mk:11-23 Jesus said if you have faith you will say and if you don't doubt the words you SAY you can have whatsoever you say.
Gen:1,1-3...
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Where did that light come from?... The inside of him.
How does faith come?
Rom:10-17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Remember faith cometh, it continually comes by hearing the word of God through eternity
So every time you hear the spoken word of God by someone God has sent: faith cometh, God’s faith is in his word. Our part is to believe and receive the word of faith and do it. We are to put some action to what we believe and don't doubt, then there will be a performance of the spoken word.

Why was it important for Jesus to be born in the earth as a man, he came to be a sacrifice for sin, he needed a body so he could die. Also to recover the authority God gave man in the beginning, God gave the earth to man even though man fell from God's grace God didn't take it back, Adam delivered his authority to Satan and threw us all under the bus. Lk:4,5-6
Then Adam handed his authority to Satan by listen to words spoken by his wife, Adam and Eve feasted off the fruit of Satan's lies (Hosea:10-13) that were of no benefit to them or mankind. Jesus came and recovered the authority man gave to the devil and gave it back. Matt:28-18: all power is given to me in heaven and in earth, then he empowered the believer Lk:10-19
When
are we going to start saying instead of calling everybody you know telling
them about your problems, that's not what Jesus said to do. Nothing wrong with having a prayer partner,
two is better than one, but what if their not available, we need to
grow-up and learn to stand on the word and stop depending on people.
This is the Fathers word, can you trust the integrity of his word he has
given us.
Jn:17-14, Jesus said Father I have given them thy word;
Jn:17-14, Jesus said Father I have given them thy word;
Seek
the Lord first for the answer, if he don't give it to you let him direct you, he know the right people or
persons to send you to that have the answers. Let's stand in faith
people.
How do you release your faith
Mk:11-23.... For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mk:11-23.... For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Remember the people in Matt:7,21-23 They didn't accept the Ten Commandments, >>>>> neither the 10 virgins, Matt:25-1
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Are you speaking to your problems like Jesus spoke to the fig tree. Again I say to you stand in the authority delegated to you, get your practice in now you're going to need it later.
Here me, there's nothing wrong with having a prayer partner or someone you can agree with, but there will be a time when you will have to trust God yourself.
Many of you are calling on God to drive the devil away and you're finding out he wont do it, why? He gave his body power over all the power of the enemy Satan the devil and all his demons to cast them out, that's our job. Lk:10-19, Mk:11-23
We are to mark Jesus, do what he did, say what he said, manage our behavior as he did speak to everything that challenges your faith and watch your words work for you. This is a word world and your words are spirit and will go where you send them and not return void except you doubt.
Jesus is full of love and compassion and has done to much to hear excuses, he expect us to do our part: obey the word.
I like to give this visual ex. so you can see what your words are capable of doing. Is:55,10-11
In the beginning, nothing materialized without words being spoken. How do you believe? With your heart. You can't believe something and don't put action to it and expect to see a manifestation of what you believe. Faith without works is dead.
All things are yours, (1Corth:3-21) and we access all things by faith, and God wouldn't have it no other way because there is something you have to do and he want us to trust him.
If you are walking in righteousness, living according to the word, God has a hedge of protection
around you and there is nothing that can harm you. Job1,9-10
Well why are some of the saints dying of the virus, I don't know: Go to (Is:57-1)
3Jn:2... Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as your soul prosper
When your soul prospers that says the knowledge of God is in you, so as you prosper in the word, stuff and things won't separate you from God.
To be healthy is a blessing because God can't use you broke down and sick.
Notice: why was that hedge of protection around Job? v-9 because Job feared God!!!
Well why are some of the saints dying of the virus, I don't know: Go to (Is:57-1)
3Jn:2... Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as your soul prosperTo be healthy is a blessing because God can't use you broke down and sick.
Prov:4,20-23 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. (Who are the just) those that keep the law.
So the question is, how do we use our faith to bring into manifestation the wealth that is laid up for the just so we can enjoy it now. First Israel have to get their mind out of the gutter Deut:28, we're in bondage in captivity. God is trying to take your mind to a greater place than where it is now to revile his word to us. Ephe;2-6
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Prov:13,21-2221 Evil pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good shall be repayed.
22 A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. (Who are the just) those that keep the law.
So the question is, how do we use our faith to bring into manifestation the wealth that is laid up for the just so we can enjoy it now. First Israel have to get their mind out of the gutter Deut:28, we're in bondage in captivity. God is trying to take your mind to a greater place than where it is now to revile his word to us. Ephe;2-6
We know faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word. Any subject in the bible that you want to apply to your life you must hear that word preached to you to receive faith for it.
This process starts in the mind: Why? The mind is where man believes. (Rom:10,9-10)
The rich inheritance God has left for the believer is inside of you it's in his word, it will be there until you call it out, because it will not manifest on its own. First you have to believe that it's there. If it's in the word it's in you. Is the Spirit of the Lord in you, all the promises are in him yes and amen.
Gen:1,3-29...We will notice nothing happened until God said what he saw inside of Him and called it out, and then we saw a manifestation of His spoken word.
Rom:4-17
17, (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. and they became.
Jn:14-10
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works, I'm the vessel
Jn:5-19
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. When did Jesus seeth the Father do the things he did, before the foundation of the world.
Phil:2,13
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Its God's good pleasure to prosper you Israel, not with just money and things but with knowledge, wisdom, and revelation of his word to show somebody the way to salvation.

If you allow yourself to get full of the knowledge of God you will be unstoppable, people will seek you out because of your wisdom of what God is doing and saying in these last days.
1Corth:2,4-5
4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. They overcame by the blood of the lamb and by the words of their testimony. You need a testimony.
Once we know that we have authority over our enemy, it's up to us to exercise, or enforce, that authority. It doesn't work automatically.
To know we have authority over Satan is not enough. If we don't stand in that authority, we allow the devil to dominate us. Only knowledge that is acted upon will bring a performance.
Dan:3,14-18,24-25 The Hebrew boys spoke their deliverance.
Whatever we overcome in this world depends on knowledge that is acted on.
If we don't tread on sickness, disease, poverty, and the things that come against us, those conditions will not change.
We must trample the devil underfoot by using our authority, standing firm in faith, and thanking God for what He has done for us. (Ja:4-7) Submit yourself unto God resist the devil and he will flee.
The devil is defeated, fear God who can kill the soul, wake you up and throw you in the fire to burn forever.
When we enforce Christ's victory, we will receive everything that belongs to us! (Gen:3-15) Christ shall bruise his head and he shall bruise thy heel.
You must test this word of faith because Jesus said, if you have faith you will say: and he can't lie. Mk:11-23
Yes, we are going to be tested by the devil, but Jesus said Jn:16-33 Be of good cheer I have overcome the world. Jesus defeated Satan when God raised him from the dead
Mk:10,28-34 Whosoever shall leave mother father....he shall receive 100 fold now in this time with persecution..
1Jn:4-4
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
If you are in Christ, the old man is dead and it's not your faith you are working with, it's the Lords faith.
Gal:2-20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Christ has employed us and anointed us with power to complete the assignment he called us to do. Let's get busy!!!
