Hello, friendplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:27.528 --> 00:00:32.430
This will be Season 4, episode 39.
00:00:32.430 --> 00:00:36.729
It's Faith and you, part 1.
00:00:36.729 --> 00:00:40.268
We'll get into an in-depth study on faith.
00:00:40.268 --> 00:00:46.048
Your foundation scripture is Romans 12, starting in verse 1.
00:00:47.911 --> 00:00:57.862
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.
00:00:57.862 --> 00:01:01.067
This is your spiritual act of worship.
00:01:01.067 --> 00:01:08.481
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
00:01:08.481 --> 00:01:12.811
Then you'll be able to test and approve what God's will is.
00:01:12.811 --> 00:01:15.783
It's good, pleasing and perfect will.
00:01:15.783 --> 00:01:31.551
For, by the grace given me, I say to every one of you do not thank yourself more highly than you should, but rather thank yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you.
00:01:31.551 --> 00:01:47.228
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ, we, who are many, form one body and each member belongs to all the others.
00:01:47.228 --> 00:01:51.570
We have different gifts according to the grace given us.
00:01:51.570 --> 00:01:58.313
If a man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.
00:01:58.313 --> 00:02:00.947
If it is serving, let him serve.
00:02:00.947 --> 00:02:03.487
If it is teaching, let him teach.
00:02:03.487 --> 00:02:05.790
If it is encouraging, let him serve.
00:02:05.790 --> 00:02:06.635
If it is teaching, let him teach.
00:02:06.635 --> 00:02:07.420
If it is encouraging, let him encourage.
00:02:07.420 --> 00:02:11.750
If it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously.
00:02:11.750 --> 00:02:15.544
If it is leadership, let him govern diligently.
00:02:15.544 --> 00:02:19.932
If it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:28.014
The measure of faith that God gives us is the same, no matter who we are.
00:02:28.014 --> 00:02:30.981
Everyone gets the same measure of faith.
00:02:30.981 --> 00:02:38.501
Now, what we do with that measure and how we cultivate it and grow it is up to us.
00:02:38.501 --> 00:02:39.582
But you could have the same amount of faith.
00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:42.429
As a matter of fact, you could have the same amount of faith.
00:02:42.429 --> 00:02:56.643
As a matter of fact, you do have the same amount of faith as Billy Graham, the same amount of faith as Oral Roberts, the same amount of faith as Kenneth Copeland, the same amount of faith as Rick Renner All of these giants.
00:02:56.643 --> 00:03:02.146
The same amount of faith as Charles Capps, which I do a lot of his teaching out of.
00:03:02.146 --> 00:03:05.609
We're all given the same measure of faith.
00:03:05.609 --> 00:03:09.847
With that measure, we can grow that faith.
00:03:11.102 --> 00:03:21.385
In Luke 17, I think it is, the apostles asked Jesus increase our faith.
00:03:21.385 --> 00:03:25.324
And Jesus didn't say fast.
00:03:25.324 --> 00:03:28.151
He didn't say work out every day.
00:03:28.151 --> 00:03:31.043
He didn't say pray every day.
00:03:31.043 --> 00:03:34.790
He didn't say sit and be quiet every day.
00:03:34.790 --> 00:03:39.662
He said increase your faith by hearing the word of God.
00:03:39.662 --> 00:03:48.945
And then he compared the word of God or I should say he compared your measure of faith as a grain of mustard seed.
00:03:48.945 --> 00:03:50.691
It's little.
00:03:50.691 --> 00:03:58.248
So the measure is not the size of the faith, the measure is the quality of the faith.
00:03:58.248 --> 00:04:00.567
That's what makes great faith.
00:04:00.567 --> 00:04:05.376
Taking God at his word, hearing his word, will increase your faith.
00:04:05.376 --> 00:04:08.908
So he said increase our faith.
00:04:08.908 --> 00:04:26.271
And Jesus said if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, just a little bit of faith, just a little bit, even the size of a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mountain or this tree be removed and be cast into the sea and it will obey you.
00:04:26.271 --> 00:04:32.805
Well, I've tried that, I've said it 300 times and it didn't work.
00:04:32.805 --> 00:04:35.701
Well, you just proved the point right there.
00:04:35.701 --> 00:04:36.824
It did not work.
00:04:36.824 --> 00:04:40.151
And if you say it 300 times, it's not going to work for you.
00:04:40.151 --> 00:04:41.543
How do you know?
00:04:41.543 --> 00:04:47.355
You didn't have to say it 301 times or 302 times or 303 times.
00:04:48.257 --> 00:04:53.836
I know a particular person that hurt his foot and he couldn't go preach.
00:04:53.836 --> 00:05:03.569
And he didn't want to go preach because he hurt his foot and it hurt and it's walking and he couldn't preach healing going around, limping around on the stage Not a very good example.
00:05:03.569 --> 00:05:07.122
So he just, and his foot hit the floor.
00:05:07.122 --> 00:05:10.069
He said I confess my foot is healed.
00:05:10.069 --> 00:05:12.377
I confess my foot is healed.
00:05:12.377 --> 00:05:16.985
I confess my foot is healed, I confess my foot is healed.
00:05:16.985 --> 00:05:26.401
And on the 501st time he stood up with no pain and was healed.
00:05:26.401 --> 00:05:28.586
How long would he have said it?
00:05:28.586 --> 00:05:30.449
Long enough to get healed?
00:05:30.449 --> 00:05:32.834
How many times would he do it?
00:05:32.834 --> 00:05:35.127
As many times as it takes to get healed.
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:39.290
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
00:05:39.290 --> 00:05:49.235
It doesn't come by reading a book or reading it, unless you're reading it out loud.
00:05:49.235 --> 00:05:51.507
Faith comes by hearing.
00:05:51.507 --> 00:05:58.146
That word here comes through your physical ears and goes down in your heart.
00:05:58.146 --> 00:06:07.149
And it gets down in your heart and then out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks and you can bring things to pass using your faith.
00:06:07.149 --> 00:06:10.408
I got a little sidetracked that way.
00:06:17.019 --> 00:06:22.973
Romans 10, 17 says faith comes by hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of christ, jesus being the word made flesh.
00:06:22.973 --> 00:06:25.903
Stop and think about this.
00:06:25.903 --> 00:06:34.276
Everything is upheld by the word of his power, not his powerful word, not how powerful his word is.
00:06:34.276 --> 00:06:37.026
Everything is upheld by the word of his power.
00:06:37.026 --> 00:06:47.485
The word of god is sufficient and capable and dependable and can produce that what it says.
00:06:47.485 --> 00:06:53.273
God said there was darkness and God said light being light was.
00:06:53.273 --> 00:07:16.798
God said we needed a sun and he in divine health and prosperity.
00:07:16.798 --> 00:07:19.826
Everything I set my hand to do prospers.
00:07:19.826 --> 00:07:22.872
I am more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ.
00:07:22.872 --> 00:07:26.404
I can do all things through Jesus Christ, who gives me strength.
00:07:26.404 --> 00:07:31.492
Well, terry, that just doesn't work for me.
00:07:31.492 --> 00:07:34.266
It just did you worked it in the negative.
00:07:34.266 --> 00:07:36.045
Let me run this by you.
00:07:38.321 --> 00:07:40.007
Faith-filled words dominate.
00:07:40.007 --> 00:07:43.449
Faith comes by hearing and hearing, by the word of God.
00:07:43.449 --> 00:07:48.391
Fear comes by hearing and hearing the words of the devil.
00:07:48.391 --> 00:07:50.567
That sort of clear it up a little bit.
00:07:50.567 --> 00:07:52.321
Hear God's word.
00:07:52.321 --> 00:07:52.485
Faith comes by hearing.
00:07:52.485 --> 00:07:52.576
Hearing of the devil, that sort of clears it up a little bit.
00:07:52.576 --> 00:07:53.000
Hear God's word.
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.548
Faith comes by hearing, hearing God's word.
00:07:55.548 --> 00:08:04.192
It's got to be the true word, otherwise your faith is going to be built on something that is not sufficient to hold you under all conditions.
00:08:04.192 --> 00:08:06.805
It's got to be the true word of God.
00:08:06.826 --> 00:08:25.137
Did you ever notice that when somebody gets mad and cusses, they don't say oh buddha or oh confucius, they curse using the name of jesus or cursing the name of god.
00:08:25.137 --> 00:08:26.980
What's wrong with that?
00:08:26.980 --> 00:08:32.292
The thing that's wrong with that is god is is not a god of curses.
00:08:32.292 --> 00:08:33.453
That's the devil.
00:08:33.453 --> 00:08:38.870
If you look in the bible, god made the blessings for man.
00:08:38.870 --> 00:08:45.162
Moses preached the law and it put everybody under a curse and a death sentence.
00:08:45.162 --> 00:08:59.197
Jesus preached the blessing and it put everybody under a life of abundance and prosperity and health and life and contentment and love.
00:09:00.201 --> 00:09:02.462
You've got to realize all of this.
00:09:02.462 --> 00:09:10.072
All of this came about by God wanting a creation that he could fellowship with, wanting a creation that he could fellowship with.
00:09:10.072 --> 00:09:26.544
This whole world, universe, galaxies, planets, animals everything was made for man, and man was made in the image and likeness of God.
00:09:26.544 --> 00:09:27.667
He doesn't look like me.
00:09:27.667 --> 00:09:30.312
You see my physical body that I have on the earth.
00:09:30.312 --> 00:09:34.044
That's what I use to get around on the earth.
00:09:34.044 --> 00:09:35.249
We can't see God.
00:09:35.249 --> 00:09:36.150
He's a spirit.
00:09:36.150 --> 00:09:40.100
Nothing less than God opens our spiritual eyes or something.
00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:41.001
We can't see him.
00:09:41.001 --> 00:09:41.682
He's a spirit.
00:09:41.682 --> 00:09:49.471
That's why Jesus Christ came, and in a body on this earth, so they could.
00:09:49.711 --> 00:10:21.374
So, yeah, they's correct, the godhead could bring the word of god to the human person living on this earth and the human person living on this word, living on this worth, living on this earth, takes the of God and receives it into his heart and is born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible seed by the word of God.
00:10:21.374 --> 00:10:29.571
And that's why Jesus is the head and we're the body and we have, by grace, all of these gifts and benefits.
00:10:29.571 --> 00:10:30.176
But we have, by faith, the body.
00:10:30.176 --> 00:10:31.284
And we have, by grace, all of these gifts and benefits.
00:10:31.284 --> 00:10:35.174
But we have, by faith, the measure.
00:10:35.174 --> 00:10:36.770
What measure do we have?
00:10:36.770 --> 00:10:40.235
The same measure that raised Jesus Christ from the dead.
00:10:40.235 --> 00:10:43.352
So you think you've got enough measure of faith.
00:10:43.352 --> 00:10:45.947
Now I'm sure you do.
00:10:47.251 --> 00:10:49.177
Get in the Word, read the Word.
00:10:49.177 --> 00:10:59.278
One of the best ways I've ever found to read the Word if you really want to grow your faith is get you a tape recorder or a headset.
00:10:59.278 --> 00:11:08.866
Get the version you want to read, like NIV or Amplified or King James or English, whatever you want to read.
00:11:08.866 --> 00:11:13.937
Open it up, turn the headset on and listen to it.
00:11:13.937 --> 00:11:17.294
Read the word to you out loud and you follow along in the Bible.
00:11:17.294 --> 00:11:19.971
It will just blow you away.
00:11:19.971 --> 00:11:21.556
It is neat.
00:11:22.804 --> 00:11:24.292
Jesus is Lord.
00:11:24.292 --> 00:11:32.052
It's time we realized it and got on board with Him and got in His kingdom and got in his kingdom and got in his family.
00:11:32.052 --> 00:11:44.417
He's the head, we're the body, and find out what we're supposed to be doing to serve the others in the world, to bring Jesus into their hearts and lives and get them born again.
00:11:44.417 --> 00:11:50.017
God is returning soon for his church, for his believers.
00:11:50.017 --> 00:11:52.832
Are you going to be in the first grade?
00:11:52.832 --> 00:11:58.336
Are you going to go in a graduated advance where you can help others?
00:11:58.336 --> 00:12:08.316
I have not seen or heard the things that God has prepared for them, but it has been revealed to us by His Spirit.
00:12:08.316 --> 00:12:10.397
Praise the Lord, praise the spirit.
00:12:10.397 --> 00:12:11.022
Praise the Lord.
00:12:11.022 --> 00:12:11.345
Praise the Lord.
00:12:11.345 --> 00:12:13.590
Praise the Lord.
00:12:13.590 --> 00:12:18.565
You have a blessed day In Jesus' name, amen.
