Matthew 6 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life.. For the pagans run after all these things.. seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.. " [NIV]
The Word Was Made Flesh
.. We have to really understand and remind ourselves that the Word of God was made flesh and that it is a living person who is real – alive today. This is why our faith teaching is never stagnant or a dead letter. The Word of God is a living book, you never come to the end of it, there is always something new to learn..
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Faith Is Relationship – The Word Is Jesus
.. We need to understand that because the Word of God is living and powerful.. the nature of it is to enable us to walk by faith. That is the whole point that behind the Word of God there is a living person and He has come back to us baptising us in The Holy Spirit – revealing Himself. When He reveals Himself He reveals His Word. It is [Jesus] disciples – who walk this – that have this relationship. When you have a relationship with Jesus He is The Word ergo He is our faith given to us – a revelation to us. Whatever we are seeing as we read The Word – that is what HE is saying..
Isaiah 55:88 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life..
The Step Of Faith
.. We need to receive by faith that higher understanding by stepping out, it is then that knowledge and understanding starts to come. Until you take that step of faith you are just talking it, it’s just hot air. Faith is always a stepping out then the revelation ..understanding starts to come.. ..
Matthew 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Matthew 6:25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[e]? [NIV]
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. [NIV]
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting..
.. We need a real relationship with Jesus The Word
Real Faith Will Be Tested By Fire
Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
