GOD DOES NO--CREDIT BUSINESS !

GOD DOES NO--CREDIT BUSINESS ! Use your faith on things you can't see; things which are not manifested. But somebody may say, "I'm going to believe it when I see it." But God doesn't do any credit business. You have to believe it first. And the way God wants us to believe is with our hearts not withour head ! (Romans 10:10). You have to pay cash "upfront" to get things from God. You have to believe before you see it with the natural eye. That's what faith is about. Faith is the title deed. In other words faith is of the same value as the things hoped for. Faith is seeing in the Spirit What the Word promised, when it is not yet manifested in the natural. "Therefore I say unto you, what things are you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." (Mark 11:24). What "them" is Jesus talking about ? "Them" things you prayed. The things you prayed are the things you believe that you receive. If you prayed the Word of God, that will increase your faith. If you prayed the words of the devil, or if you prayed the problem, it will decrease your faith and cause fear to come. If we are going to operate in the law of faith, we have to believe some things that we can't see in the natural realm. The best way to get the image in you of things hoped for, is with your own words. Yes, words creates the images ! You must speak words of faith. You must speak the word of promise. God has given to us all things that pertains to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). It's not a matter of God doing anything else about it. Often we say that we believe God is going to do this, referring to a promise. But that is really not the right way to state it, for God is not going to do it. God has already done it. I suggest that you, that is whosoever is reading this lesson acquire the substance of things that will cause the manifestation of the things. God gave us that faith power--- the ability to call for those things that are not as though they were. And that creative ability is in the seed of the Word itself. His Word is filled with faith. There is enough faith in every promise of God to cause it to become true in your life and in the life of every person on the face of the earth. The apostle Paul says it this way, "But What Does It Say ? The Word God's Message in Christ Is near You, on Your Lips and in Your Heart; That Is The Word The Message, The Basis And Object Of Faith Which We Preach." That's why Paul the apostle says the gospel is the power of God. It's the good new, it's the power of God, when you gain the knowledge of it, you will gain faith . The evidence then, is the faith. And faith stands in the place of the theme promised until it appears. When it appears, you don't need the faith in it anymore. You have the reality of it; it's in the natural realm. But until it is manifest, faith is the only evidence that you have. Remember, we are talking about God's kind of faith. It has to do with nothing other than the Word of God. It has to do with only the things that God has promised. Some say, "Well, what if God doesn't want you to have what you are confessing ? Again, I can only put a guarantee on the Word of God: if you will get God's word in your mouth eventually it will get in your heart; that is the way it works !
