Dear Child:
You have faith, but do you truly understand what it is? Faith is confidence in what you hope for and assurance about what you do not see. (Hebrews 11:1) It is important that you understand because without faith it is impossible to please Me, because anyone who comes to Me must believe that I exist and I reward those who earnestly seek Me. (Hebrews 11:6) Faith is believing, but not believing in belief, but in Me. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17) Read My word and hear My words; learn and come to Me.
When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth? (Luke 18:18) I desire that He will, but many trust in their own imagination rather than Me. You have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there', and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:20) Why? Because It's is not your faith that accomplishes this, but your faith in Me moves Me to it for you. Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith? (Mark 4:40) You are afraid because you are not God even though you try to act like Me. When the disciples feared because of the storm, Jesus replied, 'You of little faith, Why are you so afraid?' Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves and it was completely calm. (Matthew 8:26) Have faith and leave the hard stuff to Me!
Do not be like daughter Israel whom I often disciplined. For they did not believe in Me or trust in My deliverance. (Psalm 78:22) Today, many act as they did. The people come near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is based merely on human rules they have been taught. (Isaiah 29:13) In vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrine the commandments of men. (Matthew 15:9) They search the Scriptures, for in them they think they have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Christ. Yet they refuse to come to Him to receive eternal life. (John 5:39) People always look to something to lean on other than God. Look to Me, not in yourself; in your faith, for it is I who am at work.
It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken", Since you have the same spirit of faith, you also believe and therefore speak. (2 Corinthians 4:13) The centurion spoke faith when he replied to Jesus; 'Just say the word, and my servant will be healed". Truly I tell you, I had not found anyone in Israel at that time with such great faith. (Matthew 8:7-10) If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to the mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea', and it will obey you. (Luke 17:6) See? Even a little faith in Me is greater than all the faith you place in your own faith. Establish your faith firmly in Me. If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all. (Isaiah 7:9)
Trust in Me with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. (Proverbs 3:5) To the one who does not work but trust God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. (Romans 4:5) A person is justified by faith apart from works. (Romans 3:28) In the same way, stop doing mental mind tricks to get results and but trust Me. Ones faith and his actions work together, and faith is made complete by what you do. A person is considered righteous by what you do and not faith alone. What you are to do is trust in Me and then act on it.
Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. (Romans 4:3) It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. (Romans 4:13) Therefore, the promise comes by faith. He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not. (Roman 4:16,17)
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore. (Hebrews 11:8-12)
Abel, Enoch, Noah, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, the prophets and many more exercised great faith in Me. (Hebrews 11) All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. (Hebrews 11:13) These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. (Hebrews 11:39,40) My child, faith is NOT the ability to call into existence things that are not. That is My work! Faith is BELIEVING in Him who is able to do the impossible. I AM WHO I AM.
My message and My preaching is a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but My power. (1 Corinthians 2:4) Through Christ you believe in Me who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in Me. (1 Peter 1:21) Offer the sacrifices of the righteous and trust in Me. (Psalm 4:5) I will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in Me. (Isaiah 26:3) Have faith in Me! (Mark 11:22)
I, the LORD do whatever pleases Me, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. (Psalm 135:6) To whom will you compare Me? Or who is My equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? I bring out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of My great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. (Isaiah 40:25-26) Do not fear, for I am with you: do not be afraid, for I am your God. i will strengthen you; I will help you. (Isaiah 41:10) I AM Yahweh, that is My Name; I will not give My glory to another. (Isaiah 42:8)
I Am from everlasting to everlasting. Mine is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is Mine. Mine is the kingdom; I Am exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from Me; I AM the ruler of all things. In My hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. (1 Chronicles 29:10-12) You are My witness and My Servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, nor will there be one after Me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from Me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed— I, and not some foreign god among you. You are My witness,” that I Am God. (Isaiah 43:10-12) I Am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. (Isaiah 43: 15)
Have faith in Me! (Mark 11:22)
Love God
