(Third part)
Memory verse: Romans 10:17 " So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God "
Today we are going to talk about " God’s spoken word produces faith "
God’s spoken word is Spirit and life (Jn 6:63) God’s Rhema word, the revelation word when it comes to a prepared heart, it produces faith. The scripture teaches, that faith comes by hearing the word of God.
God’s spoken word stirs up your spirit, your spirit receive spiritual energy, power, fire, divine activation and faith is born, the assurance (Heb 11:1), the confidence (Heb 10:35), the conviction, the certainty rises in your heart. When God’s word comes into a well prepared heart, something happen in you which you can’t deny or ignore i.e. spiritual activation. All the men and women of faith we read about in the Bible had some thing in common that gave birth to faith in their lives, it was the word God spoke to them. The word God speak to you and give you the substance to hope for, its what God speaks that give substance to your faith. Its simple logic, can you imagine how I begin to believe you to give me a car and yet you’ve never promised to give one! So is the law of faith, we can only believe God for what he has promised.
There are words God has been speaking into your spirit through reading his word, through your prayer times, through your situations you’ve been going through, there are things God has been speaking to you about your destiny, your family, your children, your ministry, through dreams, through prophesies and right now there’s a word that God has put in your heart, its burning in your heart like fire shut up in your bones, I come to encourage you to believe it, have faith in God to do that word. That word is about to become flesh. Hannah struggled with barrenness for longtime until one day in midst of her trouble she engaged herself in intense prayer and a word came to her ( I Sam 1:17 ) Then Eli answered and said, “ Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him ”
At long last the word came to her from the Lord and it produced faith. She believed God to give her a son and finally this word became flesh. Its your turn, what God has been speaking to you is becoming flesh and your eyes will see it and your hand will touch, hallelujah.
Tomorrow we will talk about " speaking what God is speaking "
