God's Personality !

GOD'S PERSONALITY : Words are expressions of thoughts and desires. In fact, words creates images ! God's Word is the express image of His substance, or His person. When you have a promise of God, this is God's express image of His faith. It is His own personality. He had expressed it. In that promise is supernatural power. Two whosoever will conceive that promise of the Word into their heart by way of the mouth. The Word must first get in your mouth then it gets in your heart or spirit. I called it the divine energy of God to cause the manifestation of that promise. That divine energy, or faith in action is God's personality and manifestation through you or me. God is a God of faith not fear, not doubting nor wavering. When we act in faith, it's the divine energy of God causing us to act that way. This is what it means to be partakers of God's divine nature. God gave us all things through His promises, and by concealing the promises, you can be a partaker of His divine nature. I believe the words of Jesus brought this subject into focus quite clearly we He said ... "For out of the abundance of the heart [spirit] the mouth speaketh (Matthew 12:34). "A good man out of the good treasure of the heart [spirit] bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure [spirit or heart] bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shall be justified [made righteous], and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." (Matthew 12:35--37). What's the bottom line ? Have faith in God's promises and confess them daily. FAITH'S CORRESPONDING ACTION : "What is the use [profit], my brethren, for anyone to profess [confess] to help faith if he has no [good] works [to show for it] ? Can [such] faith save [this person ?]. If a brother or sister is poorly clad and lacks food for each day, and one of you says to him, Goodbye ! Keep [yourself] warm and well fed, without giving him the necessities for the body, what good does that do ? So also faith, if it does not have works [deeds and actions of obedience to back it up], by itself is destitute of power [in operative, dead]." (James 2:14--17). Faith requires action. But don't fall into the trap of half-truths concerning faith's actions. What James said in verse 17 is a true statement. But be careful that you don't take a truth and make it the truth. For instance, this is a truth concerning the context of this Scripture. But if you take this out of context and carried it over into a different setting, it may not be true concerning that situation. In the above passage, the word works is sometimes spoken of as "corresponding actions" --- in other words, acting out your faith. Certainly you should have some action to your faith. The problem comes when you act beyond your faith, taking action beyond the manifestation you have received. I do believe that you should confess what the Word says concerning your finances or concerning any of the promises that are in the Word of God. But that does not mean that you would act in every way as if you had thousands of dollars in your bank account. Some have done that. They said, "I'm confessing abundance. I believe God has met my needs, so I will write checks for all these bills and God will have two put the money in the bank before the checks get to the bank." That is not faith. That is foolishness. Some call these checks "faith checks." But they are not faith checks. They are hot chicks. That is illegal. How in the world could you bless something that was illegal ? He or she couldn't, and He or she won't. We must stay with Bible kingdom principles.
