For we walk by faith, not by sight. In these eight words the apostle Paul is giving us great insight how to operate in faith and he is saying to be successful in the kingdom of God, because you have to walk by faith and not by what you see in the natural. We all have the power of God, the Holy Spirit abiding on the inside of us, ever present to empower the things that we say in faith, but the pressures of the natural realm are continually working against your faith and your confession. 2 Corinthians 4:10-12 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. 11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you. I get so excited reading and meditating on the word of God and to think that we are carrying around in our body the dying of the Lord Jesus, so that the life of Jes

I Choose to Believe (Part 2) Believing is a choice and the word of God tells us that we have to become like children in regards to believing, because children will believe whatever their parents tell them and that’s why it is so important what we tell our kids and how we treat them and especially in regards to the things of God and the supernatural. Believing is not hard, it is just a choice. We are always given two choices when it comes to you needing a miracle. Either to believe the word of God or to accept fear. Mark 9:23 (NKJV) 23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” If you can believe, all things or everything is possible to him or her that believes.

I Choose to Believe Believing is a choice and we have to become like children in regards to believing because children will believe whatever their parents tell them and that’s why it is so important what we tell our kids. My favorite thing to do with my children was before they went to sleep was to tell them a bible story about men and women of faith. Believing is not hard, it is just a choice.

The Anointing is Working For Me 1 John 2:27 New King James Version (NKJV) 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. The anointing of the Holy Spirit has amazing qualities which is well beyond natural things or abilities. The anointing that you receive from Him abides in you and that same anointing teaches you concerning all things. So, when you realise this, you can begin to exercise your faith and ask the Holy Spirit to teach and instruct you regarding the issue or yoke that is hindering you. You may have been standing on two or three scriptures regarding your healing and your enemy the devil knows what to expect when you get up each day. So, ask the Holy Spirit what weapon should I use today to fight with? He may tell you to use several other of the 1,500 scriptures found in the bible on healing

What is the anointing? Isaiah 10:27 (NKJV) 27 It shall come to pass in that day That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. A burden on your shoulder is a weight designed by Satan to make you toil and to slow you down so that you can’t run the race with endurance. A yoke is designed to lock you into the same day in, day out toil which cannot be broken naturally. Galatians 5:1 (NKJV) 1Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ (the Anointed one and His anointing) has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. The anointing that was upon Jesus was the ‘Burden Removing, Yoke Destroying, Power of God’ ‘Burden Removing, Yoke Destroying, Power of God’ I have good news for you this morning, the Anointing Breaks the Yoke of sickness, disease, being broken hearted, poverty, debt and death. Your sickness is a yoke of bondage lockin

Can you have faith and unbelief at the same time? In Mark 9:14-27 The father said “I believe, help my unbelief”. Many Christians believe in healing but because of fear most don’t believe that Jesus will heal them. Fear is the enemy of faith and if you allow fear to dominate your thoughts, your faith will disappear. All fear is routed in the fear of death and the Lord tells us at least 365 times in the bible to “Fear not” or “don’t be afraid”— one “Fear not” for every day of the year! • Fear not (appears 302 times) • Do not be afraid (33 times) • Do not fear (66 times) • Do not be dismayed (99 times) • Do not worry (24 times) • I will not fear (3 times) • I will not be afraid (2 times) • Whom shall I fear? (1 times) • Be anxious for nothing (once)

Jesus wants you to have a story, to have a testimony of what He has done for you. One of the keys to moving in the Holy Spirit is telling someone, “Let me tell you what happened to me, let me tell you my story”. Ask them, “have you ever been healed?” People want to know someone they know who was healed. To receive a miracle, we have to get the seed of faith into our heart. So how do we do this? We do with our words. Learn to flip your mindset quickly and get your mind off the problem and into faith. The more time you spend focusing on your problem the larger it becomes and eventually it will become bigger than God in your mind. You should know by now that you are in a battle with an enemy who is relentless and doesn’t give in easily. Jude 3 New King James Version (NKJV) 3 Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to

We are having Miracle Services here at Living Word Church, so don’t come for prayer, come for a miracle. In the ministry of Jesus have you wondered how many people came to Jesus to pray for them compared to Jesus just releasing the miracle power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus just released His faith when He spoke and, in many cases, it was the individual’s faith that released the power of the Holy Spirit. • The woman with the issue of blood– He said, “your faith has made you well” • The centurion with the sick servant – Jesus said “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. • The 4 men carrying the paralytic - When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” And then He said, “I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.” • To the 10 Lepers He said “Go show yourselves to the

Faith Begins When The Will of God is Known Now we know from Romans 10:17 which tells us how faith comes, It says: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. But there is a difference between hearing the word and knowing the Word. Faith comes to you by hearing, and hearing by the word, but there are people all around the world who hear the word of God every day who still have no faith or can't release faith. Also seeing something happen like a miracle will encourage your faith and give you hope, but it will not give you faith because the word does not say "faith comes by seeing". Faith is a spiritual force and it can only be developed in your spirit or your heart and when you look at or see something with your eyes it goes into your soul which is your mind, will and emotions.When you see someone healed, there is an emotional response and that's good and correct because God created us to be emotional, but it will not build faith. There are many people who see miracles

As long as your faith is active, the Spirit of God is active. It’s impossible to please Him without faith. Patience guards against you allowing a doubt or confession of fear into your consciousness. Even when we stretch our faith as far as it will go, He who is within us is so much greater than he who is in the world. First Corinthians 10:13 says, 1 Corinthians 10:13 New King James Version (NKJV) 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

Almost everywhere you find faith mentioned in the Bible, you’ll also find patience. Faith and patience become powerful forces when used together, they produce every time. Patience is a working force. When faith has a tendency to waver, it’s patience that comes to faith’s aid to make it stand. The force of patience is necessary to undergird faith.

Jesus said in John 16:33 (NKJV) These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; Many Christians stop here at this point and accept that there will be troubles, trials and tribulations, after all Jesus said it Himself. What does a ‘but’ mean in a sentence? I haven’t finished yet and everything I said before is now wiped away with what I am about to say next. but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Make sure that you are full of joy always and in every situation in all circumstances rejoice because healing is yours, deliverance is yours, salvation is yours, abundance is yours, it doesn’t matter what it looks like on the outside on the inside is where your joy is complete.

We have been redeemed from the curse of sickness but we must first see Jesus as our healer and not the doctor

Part 3 in this powerful series

One of the steps of the law of growth is love. It’s powerful and it is the love of God. I want you to know and understand a very important thing about laws or principals of God. They are established and written by God so that we can grow and prosper. God is a good God and He only has good things to give us. So laws are not there so we become robots all marching to the one beat and not like a school headmaster who is looking to punish a disobedient child. But by the victory that Jesus won on the cross, He then by the Holy Spirit wrote these laws on our hearts.

In order to grow spiritually we have to get the love walk working in our lives. The love of God is supernatural and it works by faith. The Love of God has been poured out in our heart by the Holy Spirit. There is no fear in love, but only boldness. Love is not a feeling; it is a decision. This love is a part of the kingdom culture and as a new creation we have to operate in a new system.

The Grace of God made available to us by faith is the gift of God. Faith is the gift of God given to us so we can have "like precious faith". The gift of faith for salvation is the same faith needed to obtain everything that God has promised us.

This message is part 4 in our series on Growth and it is the area of teaching to help you get results in what you say

So the Word of God is saying forget the comparison or concern physically because there is something much more important to work on and that is your spiritual growth. To grow spiritually we have to imitate Jesus Christ, that is to walk and talk like Jesus. We need to conduct our lives like Jesus and speak like Jesus spoke.

In the spiritual area growth or progress is the process of being transformed into the image and likeness of Jesus. This exciting message looks at the mirror of the word
