Hello, friend Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:27.297 --> 00:00:30.689
The title of this podcast is Faith Comes.
00:00:30.689 --> 00:00:36.771
It will be Season 4, episode 50, s4e50.
00:00:36.771 --> 00:00:41.591
It will air on December 8, 2024.
00:00:41.591 --> 00:00:43.634
2024.
00:00:43.654 --> 00:00:49.865
I want to take a few minutes and just ask you, please to like and share this.
00:00:49.865 --> 00:00:55.624
It helps us so much to get it out faster and get it out better and we get more response out of it.
00:00:55.624 --> 00:00:57.064
Thank you very much.
00:00:57.064 --> 00:01:02.787
Your foundation scripture will be Romans 10 12-17.
00:01:02.787 --> 00:01:05.405
Galatians 3 22-26.
00:01:05.405 --> 00:01:06.251
Now Romans 10, 12 through 17,.
00:01:06.251 --> 00:01:07.299
Galatians 3, 22 through 26.
00:01:07.299 --> 00:01:10.969
Now let's look at number one first.
00:01:12.019 --> 00:01:23.388
Faith comes always, regardless of feelings, circumstances, conditions, personal conduct, and it will always look like it's not going to work.
00:01:23.388 --> 00:01:34.984
Well, I say always, always I guess always is not the correct word but when you first start out trying to use your faith and everything else, you got everything going against you.
00:01:34.984 --> 00:01:39.766
You got the devil trying to fight you and everything else and unbelief trying to fight you and get in there.
00:01:39.766 --> 00:01:43.760
And it's hard to get it all lined up in order.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:48.451
But if you'll just stick with it, you'll find it gets easier as you go along.
00:01:48.451 --> 00:01:57.427
The God kind of faith that's what we're going to come talking about comes to whosoever will.
00:01:57.427 --> 00:01:59.686
Mark 11, 23.
00:01:59.686 --> 00:02:04.284
Now I'm going to read Romans 12, 3.
00:02:04.284 --> 00:02:11.175
Now I'm going to read Romans 12, 3, talking about the measure of faith.
00:02:11.175 --> 00:02:39.276
Hang on here and let me find it, for I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he should or ought to think, but to think soberly, accordingly as God has dealt to every man, the measure of faith.
00:02:40.235 --> 00:02:42.437
Some translations say a measure of faith.
00:02:42.437 --> 00:02:47.043
I think that's incorrect.
00:02:47.043 --> 00:02:52.830
God gives, he's no respecter of persons, and so he will give you the measure of faith.
00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:53.972
Well, what is that measure?
00:02:53.972 --> 00:02:54.913
Is it a bushel?
00:02:54.913 --> 00:02:56.615
Is it a gallon?
00:02:56.615 --> 00:02:57.475
Is it a pint?
00:02:57.475 --> 00:02:59.582
Is it a teaspoon?
00:02:59.582 --> 00:03:10.188
Well, the Bible says, if it's the size of a grain of mustard seed, it'll say to the tree or the mountain to be plucked up and cast in the sea.
00:03:10.188 --> 00:03:17.212
So, but the measure of faith is the same measure that the Father used to raise Jesus from the dead.
00:03:17.212 --> 00:03:19.646
That's the measure you've got.
00:03:20.939 --> 00:03:27.394
Well, brother Terry, if I got that kind of faith, how come I don't see it or are able to work it?
00:03:27.394 --> 00:03:36.188
Well, faith is not a magician or a magic trick that you can just pull out of the hat and show somebody.
00:03:36.188 --> 00:03:47.986
Faith is showing things to work out the way you want them to, through prayer and everything, the supplication and everything, and then God brings their bout.
00:03:47.986 --> 00:03:55.491
But faith comes with patience and endurance and waiting and being in line with God's will and stuff.
00:03:55.491 --> 00:03:59.868
You have faith, we have faith in the chair that I'm sitting in.
00:03:59.868 --> 00:04:01.165
That's a physical faith.
00:04:01.165 --> 00:04:03.967
We're talking about a spiritual faith.
00:04:03.967 --> 00:04:06.490
That's a physical faith.
00:04:06.490 --> 00:04:07.471
We're talking about a spiritual faith.
00:04:07.471 --> 00:04:14.455
Well, you have the same faith as Oral Roberts, billy Graham, kenneth Copeland, charles Capps, a bunch of people.
00:04:14.455 --> 00:04:16.357
You have the same faith.
00:04:16.357 --> 00:04:17.817
What's the difference?
00:04:17.817 --> 00:04:28.769
They have cultivated their seed and grown their seed and watered their seed, and it's grown up and become a big tree or a big plant or a big force.
00:04:30.261 --> 00:04:34.112
So let's go over here and read Romans 10, 12 through 17.
00:04:34.112 --> 00:04:49.291
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek, for the same Lord, over all, is rich unto all that call upon him, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
00:04:49.291 --> 00:04:57.550
How, then, shall they call on him in whom they have not believed, and how shall they believe in him in whom they have not heard?
00:04:57.550 --> 00:05:00.389
And how shall they hear without a preacher?
00:05:00.389 --> 00:05:05.382
And how shall they preach except they be sent as it is written.
00:05:05.382 --> 00:05:11.711
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things.
00:05:11.711 --> 00:05:14.882
But they have not all obeyed the gospel.
00:05:14.882 --> 00:05:19.170
For Isaiah says Lord, who has believed our report?
00:05:20.413 --> 00:05:24.824
So then, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
00:05:24.824 --> 00:05:29.632
So we see there that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
00:05:29.632 --> 00:05:32.336
So we see there that faith comes by hearing.
00:05:32.336 --> 00:05:40.824
It comes when you hear, but a lot of times we hear with our physical ears and do not hear with our soul or our heart ears.
00:05:40.824 --> 00:05:48.752
You know, just like right now I'm reading God's word to you and hopefully you're mixing it with faith and it's settling down in your heart.
00:05:48.752 --> 00:05:58.206
But if you just read it to you and it stays in your head, you can have knowledge and know all about God's Word and quote it and everything, but it won't bring faith.
00:05:58.206 --> 00:06:01.346
Faith comes when you hear the Word, and hear the Word in your heart.
00:06:01.346 --> 00:06:07.709
Your heart is the ground that the Word of God is putting, that.
00:06:07.709 --> 00:06:20.605
The word of God is planting the seed of God in your heart, and it's up to you to read the Bible, to do what God says to do, to live like God says, to live and keep that faith and grow it and let it go strong.
00:06:20.605 --> 00:06:25.285
And as you mature in the Lord, it will grow strong for you and you will see the Lord.
00:06:25.285 --> 00:06:26.899
It will grow strong for you and you will see the results of it.
00:06:26.899 --> 00:06:32.088
It's not a magician's trick, it's not a rabbit you pull out of a hat.
00:06:33.834 --> 00:06:38.783
Now let's look at Galatians 3, 22 through 26.
00:06:38.783 --> 00:06:41.266
Let me turn over there right quick.
00:06:41.266 --> 00:06:50.052
Okay, I finally found it here.
00:06:50.052 --> 00:06:52.665
You'd think I didn't even know the Bible.
00:06:52.665 --> 00:06:59.492
Here we go, galatians 3, 22.
00:07:00.862 --> 00:07:08.492
But the scripture has concluded, all under sin, that the promise, by faith, of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
00:07:08.492 --> 00:07:24.211
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith, which should afterwards be revealed, wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith.
00:07:24.211 --> 00:07:35.307
But after that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster, for you all are children of the God by faith in Christ Jesus.
00:07:35.307 --> 00:07:41.012
So we see there that when Jesus came, that he brought faith, the promise.
00:07:41.012 --> 00:07:42.413
He was the promise.
00:07:42.413 --> 00:07:51.089
So when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we have the promise that God, the Father gave to Abraham.
00:07:51.089 --> 00:07:55.802
Abraham carried it through the earth until Jesus could come, and then we picked up the promise.
00:07:55.802 --> 00:08:05.728
When we put our hearts and trust in Jesus Ephesians 2, 8, we see that it's the gift of God.
00:08:05.728 --> 00:08:08.584
Hang on there just a minute.
00:08:08.605 --> 00:08:19.122
Let's go read that, ephesians 2.8.
00:08:19.122 --> 00:08:23.512
For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves.
00:08:23.512 --> 00:08:27.672
It is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.
00:08:27.672 --> 00:08:32.524
In other words, you don't get it by keeping the law, you don't get it by doing things.
00:08:32.524 --> 00:08:33.929
It's a free gift.
00:08:33.929 --> 00:08:39.888
It's given to you by faith and of course, we use it by faith and we work it by faith.
00:08:39.888 --> 00:08:40.910
And it is by faith.
00:08:40.910 --> 00:08:45.865
Ephesians 2.10.
00:08:45.865 --> 00:08:52.392
You're going to like this one, ephesians 2.10.
00:08:52.392 --> 00:09:00.357
You're going to like this one, for we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
00:09:00.357 --> 00:09:12.548
So we see there that in the spiritual realm it's either done or not done and consequently you can just consider God's promises done.
00:09:12.548 --> 00:09:14.860
They're yes and amen.
00:09:14.860 --> 00:09:18.048
2 Thessalonians 3.2.
00:09:18.048 --> 00:09:22.427
Now, not all have faith, only the reborn.
00:09:22.427 --> 00:09:41.294
Let's just turn over and read that right quick, okay, 2 Thessalonians 3.2.
00:09:41.294 --> 00:09:49.687
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men, for all men have not not faith.
00:09:49.687 --> 00:09:53.404
If you don't put your trust in jesus christ, you're not going to have faith.
00:09:53.404 --> 00:09:55.470
You're going to have the devil's faith.
00:09:56.030 --> 00:09:58.663
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god.
00:09:58.663 --> 00:10:00.485
Faith comes by hearing.
00:10:00.485 --> 00:10:02.850
Faith comes by hearing.
00:10:02.850 --> 00:10:07.885
Fear comes by hearing and hearing the words of the devil and acting on them.
00:10:07.885 --> 00:10:10.533
Oh, that just tickled me to death.
00:10:10.533 --> 00:10:12.245
Oh, I'm just dying to go.
00:10:12.245 --> 00:10:15.967
I about scared me half to death.
00:10:15.967 --> 00:10:19.951
If you got scared half to death twice, what would happen?
00:10:19.951 --> 00:10:22.787
Just a little humor there.
00:10:22.787 --> 00:10:26.990
Faith grows out of the word, not by praying for it.
00:10:26.990 --> 00:10:30.289
Oh Lord, come and touch me and give me more faith.
00:10:30.289 --> 00:10:35.030
Come and help, put your hand on them and just touch these people and give them more faith.
00:10:35.030 --> 00:10:40.086
No, faith comes by faith.
00:10:40.086 --> 00:10:46.274
Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word, the word of God.
00:10:46.274 --> 00:10:56.360
Just because you don't listen to the TV, you're not going to get Bible faith out of that, unless it happens to be an anointed program.
00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:58.727
Prayer does not cause faith to work.
00:10:58.727 --> 00:11:01.606
Faith causes prayer to work.
00:11:01.606 --> 00:11:05.707
Why pray for something you already have?
00:11:05.707 --> 00:11:09.164
You were given the measure of faith when you were born again.
00:11:09.164 --> 00:11:10.785
That measure raised Jesus from the dead.
00:11:10.785 --> 00:11:10.792
You don, given the measure of faith when you were born again.
00:11:10.792 --> 00:11:11.777
That measure raised Jesus from the dead.
00:11:11.777 --> 00:11:18.346
You don't need to pray for more faith, you don't need to act for more faith, you just need to put more of the word in you.
00:11:18.346 --> 00:11:31.462
The more of the word in you, you can look at it as a fertilizer to the tree or whatever the mountain that you're getting moved, the plant that you're, faith that you're getting moved, the plant that you're planting, look, look.
00:11:31.462 --> 00:11:40.130
Not fertilizer in the sense of making the tree bigger, removing the tree to the sea, the fertilizer in making your faith grow and mature.
00:11:40.130 --> 00:11:45.897
And that way you can tell that tree, that mountain, that problem, that solution.
00:11:45.897 --> 00:11:53.764
Speak to that mountain, be thou removed and be thou plucked into the sea, and it will obey you.
00:11:53.784 --> 00:11:55.769
The other thing we're going to look at faith moves.
00:11:55.769 --> 00:11:57.712
It's a tangible spiritual force.
00:11:57.712 --> 00:11:59.261
Uh.
00:11:59.261 --> 00:12:00.823
Hebrews 11 1.
00:12:00.823 --> 00:12:03.967
Let's go there right quick, okay.
00:12:03.967 --> 00:12:05.068
Hebrews 11 1.
00:12:05.068 --> 00:12:14.828
Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, for by it the elders obtained a good report.
00:12:14.828 --> 00:12:24.792
Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
00:12:24.792 --> 00:12:41.883
God pulled you out of his heart by speaking words of faith and planted his words into your mom's womb and from there you grew and matured and grown under the guidance of God.
00:12:41.883 --> 00:12:50.294
Now you can pray for more faith, all you want.
00:12:50.565 --> 00:12:51.850
Let's talk about this a little bit.
00:12:51.850 --> 00:13:04.657
Let's say the power company is our source, the wires are the delivery system, and you flip the switch and the light will come on.
00:13:04.657 --> 00:13:13.207
So you're going to have some guests over for dinner and you call the power company and you say Power company, I need you to come out here and flip the switch.
00:13:13.207 --> 00:13:17.097
I need this faith turned on, I need this electricity turned on.
00:13:17.097 --> 00:13:22.988
Well, the power company is not going to come out and flip the switch to you so you can have entertained guests.
00:13:22.988 --> 00:13:27.278
That's not their job, that's not their position, that's not their authority.
00:13:27.278 --> 00:13:30.350
The power company has supplied the electricity.
00:13:30.350 --> 00:13:33.477
It's in the wires, it's to your house, it's in the room.
00:13:33.477 --> 00:13:35.991
It's up to you to flip the switch.
00:13:35.991 --> 00:13:43.035
And that's what you do, by speaking words of faith and watering the seed that's been planted in the ground.
00:13:43.035 --> 00:13:46.394
That's what's going to flip the switch and get your faith to working.
00:13:46.394 --> 00:13:52.525
They will not come, but you can control the switch to make the electricity work for the light.
00:13:53.167 --> 00:14:04.945
Well, god's not going to come down from where he's seated on the throne and he'll do it through the Holy Spirit, which is already on the earth, which is already working with you on this earth.
00:14:04.945 --> 00:14:06.548
You should be working with him.
00:14:06.548 --> 00:14:07.750
I hope so.
00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:11.956
Faith should never be allowed to stand still.
00:14:11.956 --> 00:14:14.039
Faith will never remain static.
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:15.649
It either strengthens or weakens.
00:14:15.649 --> 00:14:19.285
You're either growing in the Lord or you're shrinking back in the Lord.
00:14:20.067 --> 00:14:25.657
Every day you take off and take a rest and don't do something you draw back.
00:14:25.657 --> 00:14:26.759
Now.
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:29.227
We all need rest.
00:14:29.227 --> 00:14:30.331
That's understandable.
00:14:30.331 --> 00:14:33.837
God expects you to have common sense and work things.
00:14:33.837 --> 00:14:38.316
So I urge you, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
00:14:38.316 --> 00:14:46.510
Start listening to the words, especially the New Testament Psalms and Proverbs those three really.
00:14:46.510 --> 00:14:48.711
You're a New Testament Christian.
00:14:48.711 --> 00:14:52.114
Listen to what the New Testament says.
00:14:52.114 --> 00:14:53.490
It will not steer you wrong.
00:14:53.490 --> 00:14:57.572
I hope you enjoyed this podcast.
00:14:57.572 --> 00:15:02.245
Again, let me remind you, please like and share it and tell others about it.
00:15:02.245 --> 00:15:13.030
I really appreciate it a whole lot and, as my usual sign off, you have a blessed day In Jesus name, amen.
00:15:14.793 --> 00:15:18.346
