What Is Faith? What Is Living By Faith?
. No Trials Or Problems …. Ever?
..
.
.Somebody just said to me this week,
“You faith people think you’ll never have any problems ever, but that is just not right!”
.Really?
Have I ever written this statement anywhere on this Blog? No.
And for those who know me, they would never hear me speak this, either.
I have never stated that Living by Faith means Living Trial Free. Or that Living By Faith means Never Having Another Problem In Your Life, Ever.
In fact, Jesus taught that the storms of life will come upon both the wise and the foolish; both those who act upon the Word of God and those who do not act upon the Word of God {Matthew 7:24-28}. The rain will fall. The winds will pound. And waters will rise.
Yes, there will always be temptations, trials, even disasters that try to overtake every single person on the face of this earth … both the saved and the unsaved … and these trials will continue as long as we live in fallen flesh, and as long as satan is still loose upon the earth.
.
.
What I do ‘preach’ however, is exactly what the Bible states.
I believe and live by the Fact that:
NOT ONE weapon that comes against me, or is formed against me, will ever prosper. It will not accomplish what the enemy desires for me. Not one weapon. I will stand against every weapon, every disaster, every trial that is ever formed against me, with the Word of God as my Sword, and pull that weapon down and command it to “leave me and my household”, in Jesus’ name {Isaiah 54:17, Ephesians 6}.
I will command sicknesses and diseases to leave my household, leave my family, and/or leave my body, whenever it rears it’s ugly head, trying to make any member of my family sick, weak or in pain. I will give it no place in my life, because God stated that “By Christ’s stripes we were healed” {1 Peter 2:24}. And I believe God at His Word.
I will always stand against poverty or financial lack reminding my mind and the spirit realm that God does supply every need that I have …. all College tuitions and all bills that need paying …. with enough left over to give GENEROUSLY to the gospel and to those in need {2 Corinthians 9:8,10,11} and I will continue to remind my mind and the spirit realm that God fills my mouth with good things, and my children will never be found begging for bread! {Ps 37:25}.
.
.
Yes, I believe that I WILL live victoriously all the days of my life, and that I will have “days of the heavens upon the earth” {Deut 11:21}.
Doesn’t this fall in line with Christ’s prayer, recorded in Matthew 6:16 when He said, “Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” ?
And because of Christ’s death, we HAVE been translated INTO the Kingdom of Christ {Colossians 1:13}
And
God’s Kingdom does now live inside of us {Luke 17:21}.
.
.Yes, God’s Kingdom DID indeed come. And now we must accept His will to be done in our lives, as it is in heaven.
We should, therefore, be experiencing and/or believing God for provision, health, abundance, joy, peace and righteousness, etc.
.But it is our job to keep the enemies out; keep sickness out, keep poverty or lack out, keep hatred out, keep lusts and addictions out. Keep even doubt and unbelief out … even as the Jews are our examples of how they were to keep their enemies out of their inheritance.
.
Yes, in this life trials and troubles may come at us, but “Be of good cheer”, Christ proclaimed, He overcame the world, so that we could too!!!! {John 16:33}
Hallelujah!
