FAITH CAPSULE: Live life by faith!

Hebrews 11

FAITH IS A TEARING FORCE
When way refuses to yield for miracle faith possess enough force to tear through for miracle. Once a paralytically man had a roof tearing faith to receive his healing miracle. It happened that Jesus was in Capernaum when the meeting room was filled up with no more accommodation. As a result of no more way to reach Jesus in the room, four men that carried the paralytic man resolute to faith means and not be discouraged to return home. The bible recorded, “And when they could not come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. So, when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.” (Mark 2:4)
It was a roof tearing faith for the paralytic man. Jesus attention could not be withdrawn but responded to the roof tearing faith stating, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.” (Mark 2:4) The paralytic could not withdraw for miracle because of hindrance on his way but, he received healing deliverance.
FAITH IS TO REMAIN PERSISTENT IN PRAYER
In the time of challenge, to be persistent in prayer to God for the manifestation of expectation is the evidence of faith.
For all, with persistent prayer is not to lose heart before God.
Jesus’ gave the parable of a widow woman with persistent prayer, seeking justice from a Judge that does not fear God nor regard any man.
In the parable of persistent prayer, it is clear that God will not ignore persistent prayer if the Judge that does not fear God cannot ignore persistent prayer.
Luke 18:3-8 records, “Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’  And he would not for a while; but afterward, he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’” Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily…”
Be encouraged by the word of God.
FAITH IS CONFESSING POSITIVE, NOT NEGATIVE
Demonstrating the evidence of being faithful is confessing positive instead of confessing negative.
The word of God which is the source of faith cautioned the importance of confessing positive but not confessing negative stating, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:21) An acclaimed believer with knowledge and understanding of the word of God should know and be speaking positively to all negative situation.
God is consistent to back His word if all will speak life instead of death. The Shunammite woman demonstrated knowledge and understanding in the word of God when she confessed positive in the place of negative. She spoke life to her son in the time of death, and her son lived life. (2Kings 4)
It is about living by faith!
