LIVING FAITH

By





Active Faith and the Sword of the Spirit
Active faith moves mountains, calms storms, and has its own language. You can’t be strong in the Lord with a weak language. Every call of God has a faith language.
When God called Jeremiah as His spokesmen, Jeremiah’s response was, “Behold, I cannot speak for I am a child” (Jeremiah 1:6). Notice Jeremiah didn’t see himself qualified. It’s true he was not experienced, but he was qualified. Why? Because that whom God calls, God qualifies.
Before God could launch Jeremiah into active ministry, God had to correct his language. “But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak” (Jeremiah 1:7).
Language reveals calling, anointing, faith, and readiness. Every five-fold ministry gift including apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, priests, and kings should have a distinctive faith language. When hearts change, language changes. The language of faith is peppered with boldness.
When Peter and John were dragged before the Sadducees, their language revealed an association with Jesus. “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). These two men were known by their boldness in speech.
Again, you can’t be strong in the Lord with a weak language. Scripture says, “Let the weak say, I am strong” (Joel 3:10). You can never become strong focusing on your weakness or inabilities. That’s what Jeremiah tried to do. God corrected him.
The Holy Spirit can do a lot with those that are willing to change the way they think. Don’t tap into weakness. Get into an agreement with the Holy Spirit. Scripture says, “God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20). That power is the Holy Spirit.
Scripture teaches that you will always act like the person you think you are (Proverbs 23:7). This means everything you say is affecting your life in some way. The Holy Spirit gives you the way to deal with this situation. The word of God says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God” (Romans 12:2). Renewing your mind is key. Renewing your mind means changing the way you think.
As you change the way you think, you will change the way you speak. This is what Jehovah taught Joshua. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” (Joshua 1:8).
The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. Scripture teaches, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).
The Word of God is your sword. It’s the sword of the Holy Spirit and the sword of the Holy Spirit in your spirit. Meditating on the Word of God will help move the sword of the Spirit from your mind into your spirit. Changing language will confirm it. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things” (Philippians 4:8).
The kingdom of God responds to God’s word and nothing else. God designed you as his instrument of dominion. He has given you His word to change the way you think, given you His word to call those things that be not as though they were, and given you his word to occupy until he returns. You can’t fail. Renew your mind. Change your language and change your life. Let active faith in the ministry of the Holy Spirit show you the way.

INTO THE HOLY OF THE HOLIES BY PASTOR BENNY HINN

By
Heb. 4:16-Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Go with me to a place where few enter, where you are saturated with the presence of God, where the glory is, where you are literally baptized in His awesome power. As long as you are in this place, you no longer feel guilty or sinful. That was taken care of in the Outer Court. You pass through the Holy Place, where your soul begins to surrender to the will of the Father. Then, something miraculous happens. You go beyond the veil, deeper with the Father than ever before. The flesh cannot enter. The soul can no longer talk or participate. Communion begins within your spirit. God speaks to you, deep inside. His presence is so abundant that you can only listen. You no longer talk. You must be quiet. In the presence of God, words are inadequate. You have entered into a higher revelation. Quietness is all around you, but not as a sign of lack. It is

The Joseph Anointing

By
THE JOSEPH ANOINTING And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, see thou do it not; I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus, "worship God,"... for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy. Revelation 19:10 "He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant. Whose feet they hurt with fetters, he was laid in iron. Until the time that his "word' came. The "word" of the Lord tried him." Psalm 105:17-19 John in Revelation 19:10 was one, Joseph was one, also Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus. It is said of Mary in John 12:3, “Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.”   The house was filled with her worship, a life poured out unto Him. As we study the life of Joseph we will see the process that the Spirit
