We’re going to *continue* on the *subject of faith*.
As we have looked at the Word, God says that *it is impossible to please Him without faith*.
The *Bible tells* us that *we are to walk and live by faith*.
*Every thing* that *we do* *should be done by faith*.
*I.
Jesus taught* 1 of the *most valuable lessons* *on* the subject of *faith*.
*A.
*Let’s *turn* there */MARK 11:22-23/*
*1.
Notice* that Jesus Says, “*Shall not doubt in his heart, **but shall believe*.”
*a.
*But the* 1st* thing that Jesus says is in (*V 22*) “*Have faith in God*.”
Or “*Have the faith of God*.”
*i.
We are to have the God kind of Faith*.
*An unwavering faith*.
*2.
*All right, *let’s go back* *and read* */V 23/*, but this time we’ll put it together *with* */V 2/**/4.
/*
*a.
Notice* that *in* (*V24*) *Jesus said*.
“*What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them*.”
*i.
When you pray*, *at that very moment* *you are to believe* *that you receive* *the things* that you are *praying for*.
*b.
You believe* that *you receive* them *now*, *you believe* that *it is yours* *NOW*.
*And because* *you believe* that it’s *yours now* *you will receive them*.
*i.
*In order *for faith to work* *you have to get the understanding* *that* *the moment you pray and believe God* (or stand in faith) that *it is yours* *in the spirit*.
(*You already have it* in the spirit.)
*ii.
*Now *as you continue* *to stand in faith*, *you will see those things appear* in this *natural realm*.
*c.
According* to the *Wylciffe Bible Commentary* the *VERB* “*Believe*” here *means* “*Persistent, continuing faith*.”
*i.
*And the *VERB* “*Receive*” favors the Greek *Aorist* tense meaning “*You did receive*.”
*ii.
In other words*, *we are to keep on believing that God has already given us our request*.
*3.
This is the faith that God wants us to have*, *You believe* that *God’s promises are already yours*, *then you will receive it*.
The *KJV* *words it* “*And ye shall have them*.”
*a.
*That’s *Future tense*, *you believe that’s it’s yours now* *and* *you will see it in the future*.
*b.
That’s why the Word says*, “*Through faith and patience we’ll inherit the promises*.”
*c.
You need* that* CONTINUING FAITH* *in order to see it*.
You *just* have to *keep standing* *in faith*.
*i.
Faith only sees the answer*, *it sees what God has promised*.
*B.
Too often we’re ruled by our physical senses* (what we *see* or *feel*) and *that causes doubt*.
*1.
**/JOHN 20:24-28/* In this *story*, we have *Thomas* who was *not with* the *other* 10 *disciples* *when Jesus appeared* to them.
*a.
Thomas’* *faith* was *only based on* *what he could see* *or what he could feel*.
*i.
Jesus called this* type of *faith* “*Faithless*.”
*ii.
*Look at *V 27* again.
*b.
What is* the kind of *faith* that *Jesus* is *looking for*?
*JOHN 20:29*
*i.
The greatest kind of faith* *is the kind* that *will just simply take God’s Word* *and believe it* *without have to see it* *1st*.
*TRUSTING GOD with all of your heart*.
*C.
**/ROM 4:17-21/*
*1.
*Can you *see the differences **between Abraham’s faith **and **Thomas’ faith*.
*2.
Abraham was **fully persuaded* that, *what God* had *promised*, *He was able to perform*.
*3.
We need to have faith like Abraham’s faith*.
*a.
1st **Abraham had God’s Word for it*.
*b.
2nd **Abraham believed God’s Word*.
(*V 20 Strong in Faith*.)
*c.
3rd **Abraham didn’t consider his physical senses*.
(*What he saw or felt*, his *own age* *or* the *Sarah* was *past* the *years* of *bearing children*.)
*d*.
*4th **Abraham gave praise and worshipped God*.
*i.
*In (*V 20*) it *says* that Abraham “*gave glory to God*.”
*ii.
*The word “*Glory*” means “*praise and worship*.”
*a.
*(*Romans 4:20*) *From* the *Living Bible* says, “*But Abraham never doubted.
He believed God, for his faith and trust grew ever stronger, and he praised God for this blessing even before it happened*.”
TLB
*iii.
Never forget about praise and worship*, *Abraham did it before* he ever *saw* the *manifestation*.
*4.
*The *God kind of faith says, “**If God said it, **than it’s true.” *
*a.
Too often our faith is based on what we see, **feel, **think, **circumstances, **or **what we hear others say*.
*b.
Let your faith be based on God’s Word **ALONE*.
*c.
The world says*, “*Seeing is believing*, but *the Bible teaches* that “*Believing is seeing*.”
*II.
*Turn with me to *ROM 5:2*
*A.
What is Grace*?
*1.
*Very *simply*, *It’s God’s riches at Christ expense*.
*a.
It’s God’s blessings and promises given to us*.
