The True Believer’s Destiny
The True Believer is destined to do the works of God and manifest them to greater magnitude for the glory of God.
The true believer - because there are so many imitation faith in the world today.
destined to manifest - It is God’s purpose that a people will rise on earth who are not dependent on the “self” - feelings, imaginations, will - but on God.
James 2.5 - chosen to be rich in faith…
works of God - because life is not about us - it is about God and His will.
Ephesians 2.10
greater magnitude - Jesus acts was just the seed, the fullness will manifest in the Church
True Faith is based on the person of Christ
The world says: “believe in yourself”
Examples of “believe in yourself”
Believe in yourself!
Have faith in your abilities!
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
- Norman Vincent Peale
You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.
- Swami Vivekananda
I believe that God has put gifts and talents and ability on the inside of every one of us.
When you develop that and you believe in yourself and you believe that you're a person of influence and a person of purpose, I believe you can rise up out of any situation.
- Joel Osteen
"Always be yourself and have faith in yourself.
Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it."
--Bruce Lee
"Wouldn't it be powerful if you fell in love with yourself so deeply that you would do just about anything if you knew it would make you happy?
This is precisely how much life loves you and wants you to nurture yourself.
The deeper you love yourself, the more the universe will affirm your worth.
Then you can enjoy a lifelong love affair that brings you the richest fulfillment from inside out."
--Alan Cohen
Why people fall for the mantra “believe in yourself”
It removes God from the equation
It removes man’s accountability for every sin and wrong
It exalts the “self” above God and others
It makes man feel good without the guilt of sin.
Jesus said: “Believe in Me”
John 14.1, 10-12
John 3.18
John 6.29
Why not believe in self
Romans 3.4
Jeremiah 17.5-10
Proverbs 28.26
Jeremiah 9.23
Jeremiah 10.23
True Faith is doing the same work Jesus did
Jesus did what He saw and heard from the Father.
John 14.10
John 5.19
John 8.28-29
The believer’s faith will cause him/her to do the same works of Christ.
Follow me and I will make you fishers of men
My food is to do the will of the Father
Greater love has no man than this...
The Son of man did not come to be served…
my kingdom is not of this world...
lay not treasures on earth…
I did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill…
True Faith will magnify the works of Jesus
Jesus’s works “grew”
John 5.20-21, 25
first the lame walked
later, the dead was raised
See John 11.4, 25-26, 39-44
Jesus wants our faith to grow
Matthew 17.20-21
faith as a mustard seed
faith increases when supported with fasting
Faith grows from seeing to doing
John 1.50
Nathaniel believed because he saw
Jesus promises he will see “greater things”
John 14.12
greater works will be performed by the believer
greater in number, testimony, extent
Conclusion
Don’t let your faith stagnate.
Let it grow!
Faith grows when these three things are present:
1. Word of God
2. Presence of God
3. Experience with God
1.
The Word of God
Faith exists where there is the Word of God.
The Word of God is the the food that nurtures the faith.
2. The Presence of God
Faith grows in the presence of God.
The Presence of God is the fire that drives the faith.
3. Experience with God
Faith is emboldened when exposed to testimonies and personal experiences.
The more experience you have in the work of God that stronger your faith becomes.
The secret, therefore, is to keep on working and doing the work of God if you want to see your faith grow.
Examples
1. Elisha - saw the power of God in Elijah up to his rapture
2 Kings 2.14 - he cried “where is the God of Elijah?”
2. The Disciples - they had the Word, they received the Holy Spirit, they have living experience with Christ
Acts 3.6
3. Bro.
Branham - faith must move up, level up, grow up of we will not make it to the rapture.
4 And I want you to get built up now in the… this Holy Oracles of God, in the Faith, the Faith of this hour.
The Faith! It's going to take more faith than ever was in any age, for this has to be rapturing faith, be taken up.
And so we want you to believe tonight in all that you have seen, heard, the Word that you have heard preached, the—the signs and wonders that you have seen done.
