FAITH COMES BY HEARING !

FAITH COMES BY HEARING ! We talk about speaking God's face Word and releasing a force call "faith" inside us, which is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. There is also a reciprocal aspect to that truth. Since there is spiritual power when God's Word to release faith, there is also a spiritual force in the words of the enemy. That force is called fear. Faith in God Comes by Hearing the Word of God. Even so, faith in the devil comes by hearing the words of the devil. Faith in the devil is called fear. It is written that God has not given us the spirit of fear. "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7). I want to say that again just a little differently. . . Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It is the substance of things desired, because what I hope for is what I desire. Faith is the substance of things desired, and that faith comes by hearing God's Word. I hear the promise of God, and I designed the promise of God's. I speak the promise of God that releases the spiritual force in me call faith, which is the substance of things desired. Faith in God and his Word comes by hearing God's Word. FEAR ALSO COMES BY HEARING ! Fear comes by hearing the words of the devil and the world. So if hearing God's Word produces faith, hearing the devil and the world words produces fear. Just as faith is the substance of things desired, fear is the substance of things not desired. That is why you are to resist fear like you resist the devil and the only way to resist the devil and the world is that the Word of God must be in you in abundance. Now you can understand why job said, . . . The thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me (Job 3:25). When you get out there in the business world or in the ministry, you must come against fear, for Satan uses the fear tactic. How do you overcome fear ? By speaking the Word of God. Remember what Jesus said in reply to the devil's temptations to turn stones into bread ? . . . " It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4). If you live by every word of God, then it's just as true that you would die by the words of the devil. Because the word of God produces life- giving faith, the words of the devil produces death-- giving fear. When you are speaking words contrary to the Word of God, you are producing fear. Sometimes people don't realize they are quoting the devil. But you quote the devil when you speak things that are opposite to the Word of God. Whether you realize it or not, those are the two sources. When we speak contrary to the Word of God, we are also releasing spiritual forces out of our mouths. Those forces will get in our spirits (hearts). "Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Bind them up on the fingers, write them (God's commandments) upon the table of thine heart .(Proverbs 7:2-3). "My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pin of a ready writer." (Psalms 45:1). That's the way it works, so put your pin to work !
