Our unwavering obedience moves us into great faith!
Great faith comes by full surrender and totally yielding to The Word.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 2:
13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the Word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in Truth, the Word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.
This word effective represents the energizing force of GOD and HIS energy isn’t finite. The energy of GOD is contained in the Word that HE speaks.
Life-changing Words originate from the Heart of THE FATHER. When you hear HIS Word and speak It forth, that energized Word accomplishes HIS Intent without respect to distance or time.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 8:
5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him,
6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”
7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a Word, and my servant will be healed.
9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!
11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven.
12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.
The centurion understood full surrender to authority. His soldiers fully submitted to his word, so he understood the authority of Jesus. Jesus needed only to speak The Word of healing over the servant without physically going to lay hands on him.
As we access the Heart of THE FATHER, we can change and shape the course of history, and change the lives of people around us. It requires us to hear and then say what HE is saying.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 4:
2 For we have heard the good news of deliverance just as they (the children of Israel in the wilderness) did, yet they didn’t join (unite) their faith with the Word. Instead, what they heard didn’t affect them deeply (or profit them), for they doubted.
3 For those of us who believe, faith activates the promise and we experience the realm of confident rest! For HE has said, “I was grieved with them and made a solemn oath, ‘They will not enter into My rest.’ ” God’s works have all been completed from the foundation of the world,
Every time GOD talks to us, HE wants us to profit in life, it’s about the Life of GOD coming into us, and things work as they were designed to function.
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience (unbelieving hearts),
You can obey your way into great faith! The question is not what my level of faith is, my only question is, “What do YOU want me to do?”
Am I supposed to act? Am I supposed to go? Am I supposed to give? Am I supposed to rest? Am I supposed to pursue? What am I supposed to do, that’s all I need to know.
11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.
12 For the Word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
The Word of GOD allows us to see our own heart. Let us focus on our own walk and not try to discern the intent of others. That is FATHER’S responsibility. We are simply to be obedient to every Word that proceeds out of HIS Mouth!
