Jesus is Master of the Wind
Walking by Faith
We are in Faith because we are believing God. We believe what’s written in the Word. The just shall live by faith, the scriptures say.
Hebrews 10:38 (King James Version)
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him
Faith is always making the way for God to work in your life. Faith makes a way. Here is what unbelief does; it says I’m sick, I’m hurting, I tried praying yesterday but it didn’t work. I’m still hurting.
Faith is according to the Word of God, believing you receive when you pray. Faith believes it receives when you pray.
Let’s say you need a job, or whatever. It is your need we are talking about in the natural realm. You go in prayer and you ask the Lord for a job. Then you leave your place of prayer and somebody says, well do you have a job? Have you found a job? And, you say no, there just doesn’t seem to be anything out there for me. I have looked and I have looked.
What’s wrong with that? Well you prayed and you ask God for a job but, you forgot to believe that you received a job. Faith believes it receives when it prays, not when it’s seen. If you believe and suddenly while you were praying, you got a job, you wouldn’t need faith because you already have the job.
So, faith is for us when we haven’t received. When we need a manifestation from Heaven, we need to pray believing you have received it. You don’t want to get into talking about how it didn’t work or, how you are still looking for a job. That’s unbelief.
What happened? You didn’t receive when you prayed. You just prayed. You asked for it, but you didn’t take it. Faith takes when it prays and then it talks like it has it.
So, faith believes it receives when it prays, whatever it is, healing, salvation of your children. Some things can take a while to come around where other people are concerned.
What if you are believing for your child? You believe you receive when you pray. Your child comes in drunk. He is high on drugs. The sheriff calls you that they have picked up your child. He is in jail and you have got to come bail him out.
And, yet you have been believing for his salvation. Now if you quit believing for his salvation because the opposite thing has happened, what are you doing? You are letting go of your faith.
Faith believes it receives the answer. You go to the scripture, you find the answer, you pray it, you believe it, you take it. When you take the answer, you talk the answer. You do not give up. You do not become despondent. You don’t beat your child to death when you get home. You deal with him. You take his car away from him. But, you don’t quit believing for him.
Your child, if you don’t let go of your answer, will turn out right. If you don’t let go. Faith hangs in there. The same thing is true of healing. The same thing is true of prosperity.
Hebrews 10:35 (King James Version)
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
You have great reward. When the pressure is on, you have to hang on to your faith. Just because hard times come or, something turns out different than you are believing, you have got to hang on to your faith.
If you are not moved by what you see, what are we moved by? We have a scripture that we are moved by. We are moved by what the Word says. You go to the Word and you find the scripture that you need and God says you can have it and what you do is you take it.
Hebrews 10:36-38 (King James Version)
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Something is required on our part. You do the will of God.
Now, today, not tomorrow, the just shall live by faith. The just shall live by what God says and not what the circumstances say. Not by what the doctor says. Not by what the televisions says. Not by what the neighbor says, or the boss. The just shall live by faith.
If you quit believing God, you give up. You let go of what the Word says. What you are saying is, I’m throwing in the towel. I’m quitting. I’m giving up, this doesn’t work.
You don’t say those words, this is just not working. I mean I’m just not getting any results. I’ve been believing God. I’ve been confessing the Word and nothing’s happening.
When do you get to say things like that? When is it ok to give up? Never! You hang in there until the answer comes. What if it takes a year? It took Daniel twenty-one days. What if Daniel had given up on the twentieth day?
Now (today) the just shall live by faith. If God said in His Word that I can have it, then I can have it. God said if two agree touching anything on the earth, they shall have whatever they ask. Then if we touch anything together and agree then we can have it and it will come to pass.
A husband and wife can agree touching their children and have what they ask. They can touch that thing with their faith and change it to be right. That’s walking by faith.
It is taking scripture and putting it in your eyes, in your ears, get it in your heart, saying it out of your mouth. You do this for whatever you need, a car, a house, a job, healing, prosperity whatever the need might be.
