DEVELOPING FAITH IN YOUR CONFESSION !

DEVELOPING FAITH IN YOUR CONFESSION ! There are people trying to believe for millions of dollars to do great things when they haven't learned to believe for the money to pay their light bill. Some people have overloaded their faith. Some people are operating on $10 faith and trying to believe for millions. We must all learn to operate on our own level of faith. What you say is what you are sewing in your life. If you're not saying what God has said, stop talking and start listening. I think this is why some people have caused trouble in which you call churches. They have gone to a seminar, where they heard some teaching, "You Can Have What You Say." But they only God a part of what was taught, and went home thinking they were a three day wonder. They did all kinds of foolish things and called it faith. Then their pastor had to sweep up the pieces and try to put them back together. They overloaded their faith and made a big splash, but they couldn't swim. The pastors, then, thought that was what they were taught in the seminar. OPERATE AT YOUR OWN LEVEL ! I'm talking a bout the Bible faith which is the God kind of faith. We are going to look at the problem of people acting beyond their development. You must stay within your level of development, and you can grow from there. But you always have to stay where you are. That may sound elementary, but many will be helped by understanding that fact. You just can't bill the second story on a vacant lot, so to speak. Start where you are and no where you are going. Jesus said that no man would start to build a tower without first counting the cost. This is good advice, but sometimes when people get turned onto faith they failed to count the cost of what they are confessing. Some of these things concerning faith have been left unsaid. But they need to be said, for they will keep you from failing into the same trap. Always develop your faith to support the things you are believing for before you obtain them. Yes, you can use your faith to get things that you cannot afford. First count the cost of maintaining the things you want. Many have missed it by not developing their faith to bring in the money to take care of what they believe for and obtained. Then they turned thongs down on faith and the prosperity message, and say, "Ah, this stuff doesn't work or it's of the devil." But it works so well that it got them in trouble. They didn't understand how to work it properly. They found a way to get things, but didn't have the common sense to set down and count the costs. Always count the cost. Look before you leap, as the old saying goes -- and that's good advice.
