I think we must first all realize that, really, we can’t do anything of eternal value without Him.

First, I think we must realize that the will of God for our lives is not automatically done.

I think we all have to be very careful in this area not to become jaded. If you live in a country where work and help are available for everyone who can and should work (if you don’t work, you don’t eat, which is a good scriptural mentality), we can forget there are those who are really poor and need our help.

I think some people forget that one of the greatest gifts God ever gave humanity is choice. I know a lot of people just believe that God is in total control and anything that happens was just His will, whether it be good or bad.

What are the devil’s fiery darts? These are the devil’s wiles and devices he uses against the believer.

There is for sure a crown available to every born-again believer, but how do you get it? Paul just told us, by the Holy Ghost, “I have finished my course.”

God is able! There is no problem with His ability or His willingness to deliver to us His promises, which are yes and amen in Christ Jesus. However, we do not receive from God based on His ability, but on our faith.

This reminds me of Philippians 1:6, “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

Can you have faith to be healed and not get healed? Yes. The man had faith. Paul perceived it, meaning Paul, by the Holy Ghost, knew in his spirit that the man had faith.

One of the greatest accounts we have for seeing how faith works in receiving healing is found in Mark 5, concerning the woman with the issue of blood.

We have a great example of how to receive the promises of God in Romans chapter 4.

It is the will of God that you receive all the promises of God that are yes and amen in Christ Jesus. How do you receive them?

Those of us who are saved are to live by faith. The Bible says in multiple places that the just—those who are saved—shall live by faith.

I want to talk to you about something I wish someone would have told me from the very beginning of my walk with the Lord, and that is living by faith.

We are to live by faith every day. There are four Scriptures—one in the Old Testament and three in the New Testament—that tell us, “The just shall live by faith.”

Speaking the Word of God is very important for many reasons. One reason is that you can’t be born again without the great confession of faith.

Joshua and Caleb are powerful examples of what it means to have a spirit of faith. The Word tells us in Numbers 14:24 that Caleb had a different spirit.

How does faith come? It comes by hearing the word of the LORD.
