Escaping: Walk by Faith Not Sight

 

In part 1 we spoke of how to recognize the symptoms of the vaccine. Now we will learn that we have to ignore them by faith in the promises. If we walk by sight we will trust in men. If we walk by faith, we will trust in God no matter what we see, feel or hear.

 

To have faith we need a clear conscience. If our heart condemn us not we have bold faith towards God and we receive from him. 1Jo. 3:18-23  My Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth. 19 Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him: 20 because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God (So, if our conscience is clear, we can have faith.); 22 and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

 

 

 

Beware of Condemnation 

 

 

 

One of the most important hindrances to faith, and one that trips up a lot of people, is condemnation. Even old-timers in the Lord will let condemnation sneak up on them sometimes. The Scripture says, (1Jn.3:21) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; (22) and whatsoever we ask we receive of him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. 

 

You see, we can have boldness for whatever we want from God if we feel that God is on our side, but without that boldness, we can’t even obey God. It becomes a vicious cycle of condemnation, and because you feel condemned, you can’t have faith, and because you don’t have faith, you fall deeper and deeper into sin. The cycle just gets worse and worse until the Lord, in His mercy, begins to show us again, as He has probably shown us many times before, that we are saved by grace. He shows us that He overlooks our sin, and that (Rom.8:1) There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.

 

So, confess your sins according to 1Jo 1:7-9 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This is necessary so that you are cleansed of unrighteousness and in good standing with God. (So, faith is believing you have already received what you’ve hoped for. You believe you have what is not seen solely on the grounds that God says you have it.)

 

What is Faith? … Heb. 1:11 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen... (So, faith is believing you have already received what you’ve hoped for. You believe you have what is not seen solely on the grounds that God says you have it.)

 

Mar 11:24-26 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive (Greek: received or have received) them, and ye shall have them. 

 

Believing you have received regardless of what you see, feel, or hear.. 2Co. 5:7 For we walk by faith and not by sight . The righteous will LIVE by faith. Gal. 3:11 Now that no man is justified by the law before God, is evident: for, The righteous shall live by faith.

 

Walking by faith and not by sight is the supernatural method that overrules the natural.

 

 

 

The Supernatural Overrules the Natural

 

 

Ellie McBride - 5/31/07(David's notes in red)

 

I am seeing something happening among the brethren who are partakers of the teachings of Unleavened Bread Ministries which is demonstrated well by a dream I had on 8/06/06. ...

 

I dreamed that a group of us were in a classroom setting. We were watching a blind man joyfully and confidently hit golf balls, one after another. After a little while a woman cried out in great excitement, "If a blind man can do it, so can I!" Immediately after the woman's exclamation the instructor beamed in on me persistently. I hesitantly said to her, "If a blind man can do it so can I?" (The blind are the ones who can do it. Having our spiritual eyes opened to the supernatural promises, we are blind to the natural failures an, symptoms, and curses.) The instructor then began to write aggressively on a poster-sized pad. I was seated close enough to her that I could read what she was writing (although I did not retain the memory of it upon awakening). 

 

After she finished writing she held the pad towards a man seated beside me so that he could read it over. After he read it, he nodded in approval, and then she held it up for the others. As she spoke she pointed and tapped on the pad with the writing instrument. She very pointedly said, "What's up is up and what's down is down". Then she scanned the faces of the listeners. She appeared to be annoyed as if to say that we were not getting it. She went back to the pad and again, tapping on it adamantly and said, "What's up is up and what's down is down". Again, she scanned the room looking for someone to understand and then I woke up.

 

(I understand this is referring to the Word of God being heavenly and not of this world and which overcomes the laws of nature.(Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Walking on water overcomes the natural law of gravity. Faith in the gospel overcomes the natural law of sin and death.) The Bible says if we, by faith, believe and accept the truth which is that we are seated with Christ in heavenly places, then the laws of nature no longer apply to us and we are able to do what would naturally be impossible: Eph 2:6 ...and raised us up with Him, and made us to sit with Him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus; And 1Co.15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

 

I am seeing that as many as are grasping this revelation, as the woman in the dream, that they are gaining the confidence to step out in faith and are experiencing miracles. And, these brethren are causing the rest of us to become bold as well, resulting in that domino effect David talked about once.

 

I am very excited at what I am seeing and by faith declare that I am very much looking forward to bringing the kingdom, "as in heaven, so on earth”.)

 

Demons can manipulate the physical realm including symptoms. This is illustrated very well in this dream below:

 

 

 

Fight as One, Under Jesus

 

 

Sandy Shaw - 8/5/15(David's notes in red)

 

This is a parable of the brethren learning to fight together against the enemy and finding out that they have total authority through the Word of God.

 

I had a dream where I was an observer of a big battlefield with a war going on. It was so noisy that I couldn't hear anyone talk; people had to shout. I heard cannons and grenades going off and a lot of rapid gunfire. Flaming arrows were being shot. (Indicating the fiery darts of the evil one fired into our thoughts that must be quenched...) 

 

And then I heard, "Man down! Man down!" Someone was shouting.(One wounded in battle.) I then looked to my left and saw a body on the ground. And running to the body from the right side was Greg. (The name Greg means, “Watchman”) I then noticed it was a UBM brother who was down. Greg put his hands on his chest, started praying in tongues and commanded him to get up. The brother started moaning and groaning and didn't open his eyes.

 

Then I heard another voice saying, "Get off me! I said, get off me!"(Recognizing spiritual attacks and realizing that authority must be taken over the enemy.) And I recognized that voice was another UBM brother. Greg then ran to him. He was holding his left leg. Greg put his hand on the injured leg and said, "Get up, brother; you are healed". {1Pe.2:24} ... By whose stripes you WERE healed. Then they both ran back over to the other brother who was still on the ground and laid hands on him and prayed in the Spirit. {Mat.18:19} Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

 

More fiery arrows were trying to hit the brother on the ground because he was the target. Then Greg and the other brother commanded, "Off, off, off", as they used their hands like shields to block the arrows. {Eph.6:13} Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. {14} Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, {15} and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; {16} withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. {17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. {2Co.10:3} For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh {4} (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), {5} casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

 

The brother whose leg had been healed said to the brother still on the ground, "Come on,open your eyes so you can see what God is doing!" And he opened his eyes and got up. (We are to SEE Father has already given us the victory. {2Pe.1:2} Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; {3} seeing that his divine power HATH granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue; {4} whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in that world by lust. And exercising the authority of our God-given "divine nature" over the enemies of our soul and physical life.)

 

The two UBM brothers then said, "Come on. Let's get out of here!" Greg jumped up and shouted, "No! We can't! We are in the midst of the storm!" (We can't run from the battle that God has ordained for us to come to the end of ourselves and conquer the enemy.) "We have the victory and we are victorious!" He shouted with everything he had.{2Co.2:14} But thanks be unto God, who always leadeth us in triumph in Christ (“Triumph” here means to celebrate the victory even before we see it to those who have faith in His Word), and maketh manifest through us the savor of his knowledge in every place. And {Luk.10:19} Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.

 

There was no shaking these guys. They knew that they knew that they knew. They needed each other working as one with their Commander-in-Chief. Then I woke up. (Listening to the Word of God, Jesus Christ.)

 

Then, very softly in the background, I heard a song:

 

Jesus never fails, Jesus never fails

You might as well, get behind me, Satan

You will not prevail, For, Jesus never fails

 

{Psa.91:1} He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. {2} I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. {3} For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.

 

{4} He will cover thee with his pinions, And under his wings shalt thou take refuge: His truth is a shield and a buckler. {5} Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; {6} For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 

 

{7} A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. {8} Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. {9} For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; {10} There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. {11} For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. {12} They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 

 

{13} Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under foot. {14} Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. {15} He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and honor him. {16} With long life will I satisfy him, And show him my salvation.

 

 

 

God’s Vaccine

 

 

 

Looking at Psalm 91 we see there’s a pretty good “vaccination” there, and I’d like to back-up a few verses.(Psa.91:5) Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; (6) For the pestilence that walketh in darkness (Some things you can’t see, but you know they are dangerous. You may see the signs of them around you, and, of course, the devil takes full advantage of that by coming against your mind.), Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 

 

So we are not to fear the dangers that we can see. Some of our biggest problems are the things that we see, but, of course, we also worry about the things we can’t see. If you see somebody around you start sneezing or coughing, the first thing the devil throws at you is, “Uh oh! Now you’re going to catch it, too!” Folks, what people die of is fear of the curse, from which Jesus has delivered us (Exodus 12; Galatians 3:13). We have a Passover Lamb that we’ve eaten.(1Co.5:7) Purge out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, even as ye are unleavened. For our passover also hath been sacrificed, [even] Christ. Our Lamb, Jesus Christ, has already been sacrificed. 

 

The Bible says,(Psa.103:2) Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: (3) Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases. We don’t die of diseases, of plagues, of curses; no, we die of unbelief and fear. The devil takes us out, many times, with the warfare against our mind and we lose our faith. Then we die because of fear, which is faith in the curse. We need to be (2Co.10:5) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

 

 

 

What is the Curse and Our Passover?

 

 

 

Deuteronomy 28:15-68, is a fairly good summary of the curse, although much more is written throughout the Bible. Here we see that man’s life, his body, his wife, his children, his property, his crops, his house, his country, his world, etc., are all under the curse because of sin. The curse is everything that ever happened contrary to man’s well-being because of sin; it’s everything negative, everything contrary to the Garden of Eden. 

 

When Adam sinned, he was driven from the Garden and into the curse, but Exodus 12 reveals a type and shadow of our Passover deliverance. (1Co.5:7) … For our passover also hath been sacrificed, [even] Christ. The Passover lamb had the wonderful benefit of delivering from every plague. In Exodus 12, the Israelites were commanded to sacrifice and eat the whole lamb (verses 9,10). They were to eat its head, representing the Mind of Christ, its inwards, representing the desires and life of Christ, and its legs, representing the walk of Christ. 

 

Jesus said, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, ye have not life in yourselves (Joh.6:53). Which means, of course, we are partaking of the life of the flesh, which is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). Jesus was the bread of God … which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world (Joh.6:33). He was also “the Word” made “flesh” (Joh.1:14). His flesh represented the Word of God and His blood represented the life in that Word. (Lev.17:11) For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life. And so, when we eat the Lamb, we are partaking of His Word and life. 

 

When we study this Word and It goes into our hearts, when we repent and we believe it and we stand upon it, we are consuming the Lamb. He was the Word made flesh and that, in turn, gives us our Passover. To this, the New Testament fully agrees. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus…. Jesus bore the whole curse for us. We need to cooperate with Him so that we can manifest what was given us at the Cross.

 

 

 

It is finished!

 

 

 

Paul said in (Rom.1:16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel (Meaning, the “Good News”): for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth…. Well then, why do so many of God’s people not have any power? It’s because they do not understand the Good News. The Good News is a powerful revelation and when we exercise faith in it, God imparts His power to us, to save in all things. Notice, the Gospel “is the power of God unto salvation.” The word “salvation” in the New Testament is generally the Greek noun “soteria” and the verb of that is “sozo”. It actually has a wonderful meaning of deliverance, salvation, preservation, healing and provision. God has already provided our every need, according to Scripture. (Php.4:19) And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory  in Christ Jesus. 

 

Many people limit salvation to such a very narrow band of revelation, but salvation is very, very big. This word soteria, which is generally translated as “salvation,” is very broad and as we study that, we’ll see that the Good News, the Gospel, provides us everything we need. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. We once asked a local man, who was Greek, what soteria meant to him and he said, “It means, all of my needs supplied, like a little baby.” I’ve never forgotten that and as I researched the Scriptures, I found out that’s exactly what it means – “all of our needs supplied.” But it’s “all of our needs supplied” to the believers. The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believes, not necessarily to what we loosely call “Christians,” but to the believers.

 

In the New Testament, the people who walk by faith are the ones who are justified because “counted righteous” means “justified.”(Rom.1:17) For therein is revealed a righteousness of God from faith unto faith: as it is written, But the righteous shall live from faith. The literal translation there is “from faith” and not “by faith.” God puts a high premium on people who believe and act upon His Word. (Jas.2:17) Even so faith, if it have not works, is dead in itself. (18) Yea, a man will say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith apart from [thy] works, and I by my works will show thee [my] faith. People who act on what the Word says will see results. They will receive power from God.. 

 

(Heb.10:38) But my righteous one shall live from faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him. (39) But we are not of them that shrink back unto perdition.... “Perdition” is “destruction” and everyone who shrinks back from the walk of faith will ultimately be destroyed by the curse. 

 

(Heb.11:1) Now faith is assurance of [things] hoped for, a conviction of things not seen. Some translations say, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for.” So, we give God the substance which is believing something that is not seen. Jesus taught us this in (Mar.11:24) Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall have them. Health and healing are part of “all things” here. Therefore, we must believe we have already received healing or health which is what the Bible says in, (1Pe.2:24) Who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.

 

So, we see in this verse God’s vaccine. He gave it to you 2000 years ago and He will not take it back. You can give it up by not walking by faith, but He won’t take it back.

 

(Heb.11:6) ... without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing [unto him]; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that seek after him. Also, Jesus said,(Mat.9:29) ... According to your faith be it done unto you, and (Mat.8:13) ... As thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee. He constantly made faith the requirement.

 

We, like God, learn to (Rom.4:17) ... calleth the things that are not, as though they were, meaning our healing is past tense.

And our faith has the power to create all of our needs. (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith.... Some versions say, “are you saved,” but the numeric pattern and the Nestle-Aland text, which is comprised of the three ancient manuscripts, say,“have you been saved” because salvation was accomplished at the cross. 

 

The word “saved” here is again the word sozo and it’s the verb of the noun soteria, which covers everything. It covers all of your needs supplied, just like for a baby, and all your needs were supplied at the cross.. (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; (9) not of works, that no man should glory. There it is. Man’s works are not going to be preserved through this time. Your works will ultimately fail you. 

 

(Mar.11:24) Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them.... Here it is again. “By grace have ye been saved.” Notice what he’s saying: “Believe that ye have received them.” It’s past tense. The numeric pattern proves that it’s past tense and both the Nestle-Aland and Textus Receptus say that the Greek word is “received.” Note that you are supposed to believe you have received it in the physical realm.

 

This rails against our natural reasoning and this is because we are called to be sons of God and not sons of men. So we have to cast down fleshly thoughts. (2Co.10:5) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. We cast down these vain imaginations, we begin to speak in agreement with the fact we have received, we act as if we have received, we imagine we have received.

 

If we believe that we were healed, then how are we going to react to the bad news that we hear and see all around us? (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law.... The curse of the Law is everything that happened contrary to man’s well-being because he was in rebellion against God’s law as we read it in Deuteronomy 28. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (Notice, once again, we have already been delivered from the curse, because it was put on Jesus.); for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. So, we believe that Jesus bore the curse so that we can have the blessing. Glory be to God!

 

(2Pe.1:3) Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue.(This knowledge tells us we have already been given His life which is Zoe’ meaning God’s life. You have to know this knowledge to have God’s life. How do you know what to exercise faith in without knowledge? You must know what has been given to you so that you know how to exercise faith. It’s so that you can know how to believe God. Can you practice seeing that God has already given to you everything you need? 

 

Jesus said when He was on the cross,(Joh.19:30) It is finished. Glory be to God, folks! It is finished! He conquered everything. He provided for all our needs. Now you know why Paul said, “And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” He has already provided it. 

 

 

 

Jesus Gave True Believers Authority Over the Devil and the Curse

 

 

 

We must resist the devil and tell him, “NO!” Jas. 4:7 Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

 

Let’s look at what Jesus said to His disciples when He sent them out, just before they were about to “go solo” because He was about to go home.(Mat.28:18) And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. (19) Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: (20) teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Obviously, Jesus wasn’t telling those particular disciples that He was going to be with them that long, right? He was talking about all disciples who go forth at His bidding and who teach others to “observe all things” that He told the first disciples. 

 

The word “observe” in this text means “to hold fast to,” or “to keep.” We haven’t done that, have we? Over the last 2,000 years, we have slid about as far as we can slide away from what was written in the Gospels, the Book of Acts and the rest of the New Testament. Yet, now the Lord is bringing His people back to a time when His benefits are going to be known in the earth once more, miraculously and powerfully, but we need to hold fast to the commands that He gave to the first disciples. (Jud.3) Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints. We need to contend “for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” 

 

One of those things that He commanded His first disciples, which was passed on to us, is (Mar.16:17) And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons…. Who did He say that to? He said that to the disciples, so that they would recognize real disciples.(Mar.16:14) And afterward he was manifested unto the eleven themselves as they sat at meat; and he upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them that had seen him after he was risen. (15) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

 

They didn’t get to do that, did they? Once again, He was obviously talking to more than just the first disciples; He was speaking to us. (Mar.16:16) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned. (17) And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues; (18) they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall in no wise hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 

 

So, we see that He taught them how to identify the people who really believed what the disciples said when they were passing on the commandments that Jesus gave unto them. Do you understand that we are not to receive anything but the commandments that Jesus gave unto the first disciples? The church has not kept the Word of God. They have not held fast to the commands that were given to the first disciples. (Luk.10:16) He that heareth you heareth me; and he that rejecteth you rejecteth me; and he that rejecteth me rejecteth him that sent me.

 

Well, I tell you, we have rejected them. We have rejected their word and we have rejected their commands and now we see the trouble that’s come of it. The church has not brought forth any deliverance in the earth, as Isaiah 26:18 says, and there has been a great falling away. (Luk.10:17) And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject unto us in thy name. They were happy to get this revelation and a lot of people are going to be happy to get this revelation once again, as if it’s been hidden. 

 

Well, it’s been right there all along. Get in your Bible and read it. Make sure that you’re not wasting your time. Find out what a real disciple is before you get stuck in some dead church. They were just overjoyed to see that the demons had to obey them. (Luk.10:18) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. (19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. (20) Nevertheless, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you (So we can see that when He talks about serpents and scorpions, He’s talking about demon spirits.); but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. He gave them this authority and He commanded them to go out and give this authority to others. He commanded them to teach the disciples to observe, or to hold fast to, everything that He spoke to them. And that’s what we’re doing today. We have no authority to do anything else but to share with the disciples what the Lord has given us as benefits and as an inheritance. Praise be to God for that!

 

 

 

We Must Act on Our Faith

 

 

 

A confirmation of a person’s faith is when they are willing to suffer scorn, willing to suffer indignities from others because they believe the Word of God enough to speak it. The Bible says all that’s necessary is to believe with our heart and confess with our mouth in Rom. 10:9.

 

And (Rom.10:8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach. You’re not very far from a healing, or a deliverance, or anything you need, and that’s what Paul is telling you right here. In the previous text, he tells you, (Rom.10:6) But the righteousness which is of faith saith thus, Say not in thy heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down:) (7) or, Who shall descend into the abyss? (That is, to bring Christ up from the dead.) “Hey, do you have to go up to Heaven to get it? Does Christ have to come down for you to get it? No! Look! The word is very, very nigh you. It’s in your mouth and in your heart. 

 

(Rom.10:8) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach: (9) because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. What is Jesus Lord of? What did Jesus do at the cross? What Jesus did at the cross was become Lord over all of the curse, sin and creation. (Mat.28:18) And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. When Jesus walked the earth, He exercised this authority over the curse to set God’s people free. 

 

(Isa.61:1) The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening [of the prison] to them that are bound. Isaiah boldly proclaims that He would set the captives free and open the prison to those who are bound, delivering God’s people from bondage to Satan, bondage to the curse and sin, and so on. And we see here that it’s very, very simple. Salvation in any form, whether it’s salvation of your spirit, soul, body or circumstances, is with your heart you believe the promises of the Word of God and with your mouth you confess them. Faith without works is dead, as the Scripture very plainly tells us. (Rom.10:10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (11) For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be put to shame.

 

Prayer: Lord, we ask for all the brethren out there today, that Your mercy and Your grace would be poured out upon them. We ask, Father, that Your benefits would be in their heart and their mind, and coming out of their mouth in their confession toward You, for You have said,(Rom.10:10) with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. And we pray that their good confession will be in the heart and the mouth of the saints of God out there to spread Your wonderful Good News and Your benefits all over this world, Lord. We praise You for it, Father! And we thank You, God, that this Word is going into our hearts and creating the life of Christ in us. We thank You that His Word is His seed and that seed can only bring forth Him. ... We praise You in Jesus’ name. Amen.
