THE GOD--KIND OF FAITH !

The God Kind of Faith: I made a statement, that we are Death or life speaking spirits, created in the image and likeness of God. (Proverbs 18:21). And every man among believers has been dealt the measure of faith (Romans 12:2) further proof of this is seen in (Ephesians 2:8) "For by grace are you saved through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD. !" We, are the only creation of God that have the ability to speak. The faith is not love yourself. He is not talking about the grace, for everyone knows that grace is not of ourselves. He is saying that the faith by which you are saved is not love yourself. It is not a natural human faith. It was given to sinners by God. And how did God give the sinners faith to be saved ? (Romans 10:17) says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Notice the expressions we have just seen in regards to faith: "So then faith cometh. . ." "God hath dealt. . . Faith." You are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift. . ." Paul says that faith is given, it is dealt, it cometh. (Romans 10:8) "But what saith it ? The Word is night thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the Word of faith, which we preach." The Bible-- this message of God--- is called the Word of faith. Why is it called the word of faith ? Because it causes the faith of God to come even into the heart of the unsaved. It causes the kind of faith that spoke the universe into existence to be dealt to our hearts. Faith is given to us through the Word. Notice again the words of (Romans 10: 8) "but what saith it ? The word either the devil's words all God's words is night thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach." This agrees exactly with the words of Jesus in Mark 11:23), "Whosoever shall say. . . And shall not doubt in his heart. . ." We see here the basic principle inherited and the God kind of faith: believing it with the heart and saying it with the mouth. In other words, whatever is in the heart of man or woman comes forth out of the mouth. Jesus believe it and He said it. God believed it and He said it speaking the earth into existence ! Verses 9 and 10 of the same tent chapter of Romans says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." A measure of faith is dealt to the sinner through hearing the Word of God. Then he uses it to create the reality of salvation in his or her own life. When believers or Christians are asked, "When Were You Saved ?" They often answer by saying something like, "about nine on the night of July 10." They are mistaken, however, because God saved them nearly 5000 years ago. It became a reality to them only when they believed it and confessed it. Salvation belongs to everyone. Every man everyone in this world has a legal right to salvation. Jesus died for the whole world, not just for you and me. When the truth is preached to the sinners, it causes faith to come. When he or she believes and confesses the Lord Jesus or Jesus is Lord that breaks the contract that that individual has with the devil. He or she creates the reality of it and his or her own life by his faith. I am… Telling people to confess their sins, there's no way in all of heaven that a man and woman can remember every sin that they have committed. Again the only confession that the sinners need to make is the Lordship of Jesus Christ. (Romans 10:13 through 17) "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed ? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard ? And how shall they hear without a preacher ? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Faith for salvation comes only by hearing the word of God. Faith for anything we received from God comes in the same way. The God kind of faith comes by hearing God's Word--- and God has no kind of faith other than the God kind. In other words, God gives or causes the God kind of faith to come into the hearts of those who HEAR. It is no wonder that Jesus said, "take heed therefore how you hear" (Luke 8:18). You cannot let it go in one ear and out the other, because that wouldn't do any good. Faith won't come. If you act as if the Word of God were some fairytale, or just another book, faith will not come. But when you accept it reverently and sincerely, and act upon it, faith comes.
