“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. —10 And if you are untrustworthy about worldly wealth, who will trust you with the true riches of heaven? —-11 And if you are not faithful with other people’s things, why should you be trusted with things of your own?—-12 “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.”

  1. Sermon— Activating Your Faith —

Heb 3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus Heb 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. —14 Heb 15-16 KJV For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. - 15 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.—-16 Heb 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Note ��️ Jesus was .... ...touched with the “feeling” of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Note--- Jesus experienced the exact same feelings… That we experience Jesus experienced “same feelings” that we face... yet he overcame...

In the first action of faith… Is the “speaking” part Faith must be spoken It’s not enough to believe what God says… We need to speak We can lose the battles of life simply by default if we don’t speak the word FAITH --- May not stop the mountains from forming in front of us But faith will remove them -- Jesus said speak to the mountains… Conclusion:

  1. keep your focus on God‘s original word to you… Heavenly Vision
  2. hold on to your confession Speaking what God has to say… Not the circumstances… Not the feelings Speak the word of God

Mark 11:22-23 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

4 examples: David & Goliath —- David said… 5 times ( got what he said ) 1 Sam 17 David spoke his faith Note-- Goliath also used same principles of faith... the devil knows these principles Joshua and Caleb — Let us go up at once, and take the land ( got what they said )

10 Spies who said… we can’t ( direct contradiction of what God said ) Num 14:28 Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just AS YOU HAVE SPOKEN in My hearing, so I will do to you. Prodigal son —- said, I will arise and go to my fathers house ( got what he said ) Luke 15:17-18 But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you—-18 Micah 7:8 Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; When I fall, I will arise; When I sit in darkness, The LORD will be a light to me Woman with the issue of blood — Said, if I may touch the hem of his garment, I will be made whole—- she got what she said. Mark 5:26-34 Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, —25

and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. —26

When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. —27

For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”

Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 29

And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”—-30

And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”—-34
