Hello, friend, chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:28.957 --> 00:00:35.493
This will be the Measure of Faith, Season 4, episode 31.
00:00:35.493 --> 00:00:40.851
It will air on July 29, 2024.
00:00:40.851 --> 00:00:49.871
Your Foundation Scriptures Romans 12, 1 through 3, luke 17, verse 6.
00:00:49.871 --> 00:00:55.264
Let's go to Romans 12, 1 through 3 first.
00:00:56.606 --> 00:01:27.280
I beseech or urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice wholly acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service, and be not conformed to this world but be yourself transformed by the renewing of your mind that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:37.099
For I say, through the grace given unto me, and Paul is no, you know, god is no respecter of persons.
00:01:37.099 --> 00:01:41.156
You look at Romans 2, 11 through 16.
00:01:41.156 --> 00:01:44.527
What God did for Paul, the apostle, he will do for you.
00:01:44.527 --> 00:01:49.661
God is no respecter of persons, let me back up here.
00:01:49.661 --> 00:02:06.289
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man, in other words man and woman that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he should, but to think soberly, seriously, sensible, solemn.
00:02:06.289 --> 00:02:15.724
Accordingly, as God has dealt to every man the measure of faith Luke 17, verses 5 and 6,.
00:02:15.724 --> 00:02:22.074
And the apostles said unto the Lord Jesus, increase our faith.
00:02:22.074 --> 00:02:30.128
And the Lord said If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto the sycamine tree.
00:02:30.128 --> 00:02:36.127
Now the sycamine tree was used for making coffins that would contain dead people.
00:02:36.127 --> 00:02:45.126
You might say to the sycamine tree Be plucked up by the root and be planted in the sea and it should obey you.
00:02:45.126 --> 00:02:47.707
It shall obey you to be truthful.
00:02:47.707 --> 00:02:53.031
The measure of faith is not the size of a grain of mustard seed.
00:02:53.031 --> 00:02:59.513
The measure of faith is the same amount of faith as God used to raise Jesus from the dead.
00:02:59.513 --> 00:03:05.231
So you could say the measure of faith is actually the quality of God's faith.
00:03:07.140 --> 00:03:09.389
But first look at Ephesians 1.1.
00:03:09.389 --> 00:03:24.371
This Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Anointing One by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus and to the faithful in Christ, that would be all of us.
00:03:24.371 --> 00:03:27.949
The Messiah Anoint, annoying one, jesus.
00:03:27.949 --> 00:04:42.507
This now includes you, that the God of our Lord, jesus Christ, given to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, that the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that they may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought, or actively involving mental or physical power in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name, not only in this world but also in that which is to come, and has put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him that fills all in all.
00:04:44.173 --> 00:04:46.519
Now look at chapter 2, 1 through 8.
00:04:46.519 --> 00:05:07.122
And you has he quickened or made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sin, wherein, in times past, you walked according to the course or the natural way of doing things of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience.
00:05:07.122 --> 00:05:33.699
The spirit that now works in the children of disobedience among whom also we had our conversation in times past in the lusts or desires of our senses, of the flesh and of our mind, and by nature, were the children of wrath even as to others, but God who is rich, in mercy for his great love, wherewith he loved us even when we were dead in sin, of wrath even as to others.
00:05:33.699 --> 00:05:40.369
But God, who is rich, in mercy for his great love, wherewith he loved us even when we were dead in sins, has quickened or made us alive together with Christ.
00:05:40.369 --> 00:05:44.459
By grace are you saved, and has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:49.579
For by grace are you saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves.
00:05:49.579 --> 00:05:57.067
It is a gift of God, not a work, lest any man should boast.
00:05:57.067 --> 00:06:03.517
In other words, god, the Father, raised Jesus from the dead using his faith.
00:06:03.517 --> 00:06:12.711
When he raised Jesus from the dead, jesus, he sent that faith in there to get that to work and and come about.
00:06:14.754 --> 00:06:20.904
We receive the same measure of faith that God used when he raised Jesus from the dead.
00:06:20.904 --> 00:06:34.101
Then Jesus has given us his name, his power, power, his authority, the Holy Spirit to go and do the things and greater things than he did while on this earth.
00:06:34.101 --> 00:06:43.680
In the name of Jesus, using that measure of faith, jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:51.610
Hebrews 12, 1 and 2 says Wherefore, seeing all we are soed about, but so great a cloud of witnesses.
00:06:51.610 --> 00:07:14.581
Let us lay aside every weight and the sin which does so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who, for the joy that was set before him, enduring the cross, despising his shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:17.853
Listen to me very carefully, friend.
00:07:17.853 --> 00:07:23.685
The measure is not the size of a grain of mustard seed.
00:07:23.685 --> 00:07:25.814
That's just an example.
00:07:25.814 --> 00:07:43.461
That faith is so powerful that if you had one that was as large, if you had a measure that was as large as a grain of mustard seed, you could command the tree, the sycamine tree, to be plucked up and from its roots and cast into the sea.
00:07:43.461 --> 00:07:45.050
And it's going to happen.
00:07:45.050 --> 00:07:51.165
But we have a better, uh measure of faith than that.
00:07:51.165 --> 00:07:54.733
We have the same measure that raised jesus christ from the dead.
00:07:54.733 --> 00:08:05.980
That measure is greater than the measure that was needed or necessary to be used to create the world, because there was no opposition when god created the world.
00:08:07.413 --> 00:08:10.281
Jesus is author and finisher of our faith.
00:08:10.281 --> 00:08:15.903
So when you put your trust and faith in Jesus Christ, you are given the measure of faith.
00:08:15.903 --> 00:08:28.598
Love is shed abroad in your heart and you become a Christian or a little Christ, the anointed one, the anointing that breaks the yoke.
00:08:28.598 --> 00:08:31.744
You become a child of God.
00:08:31.744 --> 00:08:45.832
Jesus is the head, you are the body and you have the same authority, the same measure of faith, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and performed all the miracles that you'll ever need to perform.
00:08:45.832 --> 00:08:53.197
And then he performed by the measure of faith given to you when jesus was raised from the dead.
00:08:53.197 --> 00:09:01.659
I'm going to repeat and the apostle said unto the lord, increase our faith.
00:09:01.659 --> 00:09:11.410
And the lord said if you had faith, complete trust and reliance on him as a grain of mustard seed, well, we have that.
00:09:11.410 --> 00:09:12.653
We have more than that.
00:09:12.653 --> 00:09:14.738
We have every bit of that.
00:09:14.738 --> 00:09:19.033
We have the same measure of faith that raised Jesus from the dead.
00:09:19.033 --> 00:09:26.235
You might say to this sycamine tree be yourself plucked up and cast into the sea and it will obey you.
00:09:27.577 --> 00:09:30.604
Jesus is the author and finish finisher of our faith.
00:09:30.604 --> 00:09:32.113
He's been made the head.
00:09:32.113 --> 00:09:33.255
We've been made the body.
00:09:33.255 --> 00:09:46.863
All things have been put under his feet principalities, powers, dominions, demons, sickness, seas, disease, cancer, poverty, disease, cancer, poverty.
00:09:46.863 --> 00:09:49.645
Everything.
00:09:49.645 --> 00:10:16.760
The curse is put under his feet because it comes from the devil and the devil is put under his feet, the angels are put under our feet, everything from the throne of God down is under our feet, with Jesus being the head and we be in the body and we control and claim and control and dictate the status quo for this universe and our way of life in this world.
00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:18.604
Today, right now.
00:10:21.979 --> 00:10:35.125
Hebrews 11, 39 to 40 it is the same size, talking about our faith, same density, exactly the same amount that god used to raise jesus from the dead.
00:10:35.125 --> 00:10:41.099
Jesus is the head of the church or the body of Christ.
00:10:41.099 --> 00:10:46.238
The head and the body are one unit and they all move and act as one.
00:10:46.238 --> 00:10:49.678
You don't say here comes Jesus and his body.
00:10:49.678 --> 00:10:56.639
You say here comes Jesus and that's us, because we are the body of Christ on this earth.
00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.293
Every person.
00:10:59.293 --> 00:11:01.600
In Hebrews 11 is from the Old Testament.
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.620
The list of elders starts with God himself creating the world.
00:11:05.620 --> 00:11:18.298
God raising Jesus from the dead was a far greater act of faith than creating heaven and earth, because no principality or power or person opposed him when he created heaven and earth.
00:11:19.932 --> 00:11:22.363
It is time we started believing and doing what the word says we can do.
00:11:22.363 --> 00:11:23.948
Doing what the word says we can do.
00:11:23.948 --> 00:11:31.599
Doing what the word says we can do, instead of just studying the word and having a mental ascent.
00:11:31.599 --> 00:11:35.075
Yes, amen, we know the word to be true.
00:11:35.075 --> 00:11:38.216
Yes, amen, I am full gospel.
00:11:38.216 --> 00:11:41.118
My Bible weighs five pounds.
00:11:43.211 --> 00:11:43.934
How about this?
00:11:43.934 --> 00:11:47.178
I am a new creature in Christ Jesus.
00:11:47.178 --> 00:11:50.519
Old things have passed away and, behold, all things have become new.
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.419
I can do anything through Jesus Christ, who gives me strength.
00:11:54.419 --> 00:11:58.279
In him I live and move and have my being.
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.261
Jesus Christ has made unto me wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
00:12:03.261 --> 00:12:05.635
I have the mind of Christ.
00:12:05.635 --> 00:12:07.735
Let this mind be in you.
00:12:07.735 --> 00:12:09.039
Who is in Christ Jesus?
00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:11.236
I am the body of Christ.
00:12:11.236 --> 00:12:23.490
I have the name of Christ, the head of Christ, the authority of Christ, the power of Christ, and I can do all things through Jesus Christ, who gives me strength?
00:12:23.490 --> 00:12:25.011
And I can do all things through Jesus Christ, who gives me strength.
00:12:25.032 --> 00:12:29.937
It's time you started today Going out and living a victorious life.
00:12:29.937 --> 00:12:32.679
Call things that be not as though they were.
00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.883
Stay on top of them, work with them.
00:12:35.883 --> 00:12:37.144
Work with Jesus.
00:12:37.144 --> 00:12:38.926
Get in the word, read the word.
00:12:38.926 --> 00:12:44.423
Do what the word says it would do.
00:12:44.423 --> 00:12:49.592
Be what the word says it would do.
00:12:49.592 --> 00:12:50.595
Be what the word says you can be.
00:12:50.595 --> 00:12:55.344
Do everything in Jesus' name and, by the way, you have a blessed day in Jesus' name Amen.
