Faith you can hear (1)


If your faith isn't real, it won't work.  If your faith isn't working, is your faith real?




If your faith isn't working, the problem isn't on God's end.  It's on your end. 





Are you imitating the faith of others?  Are your presuming on what God has not promised?





Real faith can be seen by what you do.  You can't show your faith without doing any thing. 





Luke 17:6  (NKJV)

6 So the Lord (Jesus) said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.




Real faith can be heard. Your faith can't be heard unless you speak it. 





Hebrews 11:3 (NKJV)

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. 




God spoke His faith in creation.
Jesus spoke His faith to heal.  




Luke 4:39 (NKJV)

39 So He (Jesus) stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her.


Jesus spoke to a fever, and it left her.  He didn't pray for her.  It spoke directly to it.  Therefore, fevers can hear. 


If fever can hear, cancer can hear.  Kidneys can hear. Hearts can hear.  Your body parts can hear you when you speak to them.  


Mark 11:22-23 (NKJV)

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 

23 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.


Jesus is not talking about prayer here.  He's talking about speaking to a mountain.  Just like He taught speaking to a mulberry tree earlier.  


Jesus didn't say that he'll have whatever he needs. He doesn't say that he'll have whatever he wants.  



Jesus says that he'll have whatever he says.  If Jesus had wanted to say something else, He would have said it.



We are made in the image and likeness of God, so we are to believe and act like God. We are God's kin.  We are joint heirs with Jesus. 



Jesus says talk to it, and believe that what you have said will come to pass.  You will have what you say if you believe it.

Dan Dehaan's Metro Bible Study

In the late 1970s, I attended an interdenominational Bible Study called “the Metro Bible Study” in Metro Atlanta, which began as a Small Group in “Dad” Charles Ellis’ basement. It was taught by Dan Dehaan, and eventually outgrew Dad Ellis’ basement by moving to the Griffin Middle School.  When I first started attending, it had grown to 300 teenagers who meet ever Tuesday night and featured Contemporary Christian Music played by “The Pat Terry Group”.  As the Metro Bible Study continued rapid growth, they eventually moved to the First Baptist Church of Smyrna, Georgia where it peaked around 1200 attendees.  In the summer of 1982, Dan Dehaan died in a plane crash and teacher John Riley took over. Under John Riley, the Bible Study grew to about 1,500 after eventually moving to Mt. Paran Church of God. When I was first invited to the “Metro Bible Study”, I didn’t go to hear Dan Dehaan teach because I didn’t know who he was.  What I went to hear...

Where is God when times get tough?

Mark 4:35-41 (NLT) 35  As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.”  Faith is based upon something.  Jesus said that they were all going across the lake.  The disciples should have based their faith upon what Jesus had said.   36  So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed).  37  But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. You can be in the center of the will of God, and the journey can get tough.  38  Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion.  Faith doesn't fret.  Jesus was in the same ship as they were, but he was relaxed and asleep.   The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” Our mi...

The Worry Pill

Matthew 6:19-34 (NKJV) 19  “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;  20  but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.  21  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22  “The lamp of the body (the window that lets in the light) is the eye. If therefore your eye is good (opened), your whole body will be full of light.  23  But if your eye is bad (closed) , your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great  is  that darkness! (Our eyes allow light to give us direction).   24  “No one can serve two masters (an inability to focus in one direction); for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise t...
