FAITH FOR AN AMAZING LIFE

Transcription

1 FAITH FOR AN AMAZING LIFE KENNETH COPELAND DAY 1 FAITH IS A CURRENCY STUDY IT We use our faith like a currency to access all that God s love wants to give us The beginning of spiritual growth is when you receive a revelation about the truth of spiritual laws, and recognize they always work! These spiritual laws are what caused Jesus, and us, to be born from above Jesus is the firstborn from the dead, and He made it possible for us to also be born from death to life I We use our faith like a currency to access all that God s love wants to give us God s love is something we must believe and put our faith into (Mark 11:22) o We must know and believe that God loves us (1 John 4:16) When Jesus taught on faith, He used the word say three times and the word believe one time (Mark 11:23-24) o Jesus put the emphasis on what a man says rather than on the believing part o Jesus didn t need to emphasize believing, because when you believe something in your heart, you re going to say it (Matthew 12:34) Pin-point your faith on God s love, and His desire to give you what you re saying and believing for II The beginning of spiritual growth is when you receive a revelation about the truth of spiritual laws, and recognize they always work! The laws of physics that govern the physical realm were created by a higher law that governs the spiritual and physical realms o God created all matter using the spiritual force of faith, which was released in His WORD by the Holy Spirit, which released into being physical laws The spiritual law of faith states we are right before God by faith; we are not justified by keeping a law (Romans 3:27-28) In order to grow spiritually, you have to grow your faith Mental assent is not enough III The new birth that caused us, including Jesus, to be born from above, came to pass because of the spiritual law that governed it We were born from above Jesus was born from above 2017 Eagle Mountain International Church Inc aka Kenneth Copeland Ministries

2 This spiritual law is: Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead, and say with your mouth that Jesus is LORD, and you are born again (Romans 10:9-10) When you believe and say, or confession is made unto, you activate a spiritual law that performs the greatest miracle known the new birth! This unheard-of miracle of the recreation of a spirit being happened to Jesus first Jesus was manifested in the flesh and justified in the Spirit (1 Timothy 3:16) o Jesus took on flesh in Bethlehem (Luke 1:35, 2:4-7) o Jesus was justified, or made alive, in the Spirit in hell when He suffered for us Jesus was made to be sin with our sin He never committed sin The moment you received the new birth, you became a new creation, and received Jesus righteousness When Jesus suffered in hell, He never let go of God s WORD; He kept praising God o Jesus bore all of hell and sin There are no words to describe to what extent He suffered o Jesus kept speaking God s WORD Suddenly, those words of power of the Spirit of the living God hovered over Jesus in hell, and a holy thing was conceived o Jesus was born again One born-again human man, Jesus, defeated hell all by Himself o We have the same spiritual DNA as Jesus We have the same Holy Spirit We have a measure of the same faith IV Jesus is the firstborn from the dead, and He made it possible for us to also be born from death to life Jesus was the first, not the only, but the first one born from the dead God said that Jesus was His Son, and God is Jesus Father (Hebrews 1:5-6) When you accepted Jesus, you were born from above, or born again, and seated with Jesus in heavenly places You are a citizen of heaven, now You are seated there, now (Ephesians 2:6) MAKE IT PERSONAL The currency of heaven is available to you Deposit into your heavenly bank account, by believing and speaking by faith Then, as necessary, use your faith to draw out of what God has given you 2017 Eagle Mountain International Church Inc aka Kenneth Copeland Ministries

3 FAITH FOR AN AMAZING LIFE KENNETH COPELAND DAY 2 FAITH RECEIVES GRACE Jesus taught us how to have and use faith effectively by believing, speaking and forgiving Learning to walk in faith and grace requires training, and the best way to get that training is to study the ministry of Jesus When Jesus taught, the power of God was present to heal Everything Jesus did was in line with The WORD of God STUDY IT I Jesus taught us how to have and use faith (Mark 11:23-24) In verses 23 and 24, Jesus uses the word say three times Jesus uses the word believe only one time Therefore, Jesus put the emphasis on saying If you believe and don t say, you haven t released your faith II To use your faith effectively, you must receive forgiveness by faith (Mark 11:25) Your sins were forgiven when Jesus paid the price for them on the cross The handwriting that was against you, the list of your sins, was blotted out by the blood of Jesus (Colossians 2:13-14) Jesus has already forgiven us (Isaiah 43:25) You re forgiven by God, but you must receive the forgiveness by faith It s not that God won t forgive your sin, it s that He can t until you receive forgiveness by faith You have to be in Christ to get all that s prepared for you, including forgiveness III Learning to walk in faith and grace requires training We are in training We must take authority over our tongues The tongue cannot be tamed with natural force But faith in The WORD of God will tame your tongue (James 3:8) We must learn to use our words correctly o We shouldn t say anything that s contrary to God and His WORD o Don t say anything you don t want to happen o Ask for forgiveness from each other 2017 Eagle Mountain International Church Inc aka Kenneth Copeland Ministries

4 IV When Jesus taught, the power of God was present to heal (Luke 5:17-25) Men tried to bring their friend to be healed, but there were so many people, they couldn t get in the door So, they climbed on the roof and let their friend down through the ceiling o Jesus saw their faith when they brought their friend who needed help o Jesus saw their faith and told the sick man to cheer up (Matthew 9:2) Jesus demonstrated speaking by faith when He said, I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house (Mark 2:11, NKJV) The religious people were angry, because Jesus was forgiving sins That s something only God can do Jesus said the same power it takes to heal someone is the same power it takes to forgive sins If you think your problems are still here because of your sin, the solution is to repent (1 John 1:9)! If you have wronged someone, go to them and ask forgiveness That s the love walk V Everything Jesus did was in line with The WORD of God There is much power, dominion and authority in God s WORD Micah prophesied that a ruler would come out of Bethlehem 715 years before Jesus was born The Messiah was coming (Micah 5:2)! And it happened! Caesar decreed that taxes would be paid from a man s hometown Mary and Joseph journeyed to Bethlehem, and God s Son was born God is always right!
