Faith Is Our Victory Part 2 |
I John 5:4
"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith."
In Hebrews Chapter 11 we begin reading how to live by faith. During the first few verses we read where our elders actually obtained good reports by faith.
In fact the very first thing that was obtained by faith was the universe that you and I are living in right now. God is a God of faith. He looked into nothing and said "LIGHT BE", and LIGHT WAS.
He knows how to operate in faith. Now God is trying to help you and I operate in that same faith as well.
In Ephesians 5:1 we read: "And be ye followers of God as dear children. . . ." The word "follower" here means "to imitate, or to copy."
God knows how this thing works. He is the one who created this system of faith. In fact there is nothing good in this earth that will manifest without faith. Everything that is good in this earth will come to you and I,by operating in and through Gods system of faith.
So faith is the thing that obtains good reports.
Sickness is not a good report for Your body.
Health and Healing, Is a good report for your body.
Living by faith, will obtain the good report of health and healing for your body.
2 Corinthians 5:7 commands us to walk by faith. "(...regulate our lives and condut ourselves hy our conviction or belief....with trust and holy fervor, thus we walk) not by sight or appearance."
The worlds system is based on conducting your behavior on believing what you see. What you hear, what you feel, what you experience through your five physical senses..
Romans 10:17 on the other hand tells us that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
The Word of God says in Psalm 103:2-3 that the Lord is the One Who forgives all our iniquities; and Who heals ALL our diseases.
When you and I choose to believe, to have faith in what the Word says about our situation, and allow that Word and our faith in that Word to influence the way we think, and act, that is when we begin to overcome.
That is when faith begins obtaining the good report of healing. That is when Faith is our victory!

The Spirit of Faith MP3 Download |
 2 Corinthians 4:13
"We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;"
What we believe determines how we act and speak. What we think and speak reflects what kind of attitude we have.
Do we have an attitude of expectation, and faith, or an attitude of fear, and insecurity? The phrase "the spirit of faith" that the Word of God is referring to here, is not the Holy Spirit. The phrase "the spirit of faith" is referring to a belief system, an attitude or a frame of mind!
