"FAITH THAT PLEASES GOD" - The Faith Series

 

Hebrews 11:6

 

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him. 

 

 

We have declared that 2022 is the breakout year, which is to suggest that this year you will begin to see limitations and barriers removed, and you are going to find yourself entering a new level of life.

 

As you are pursuing God and your next level this year, one of the things to remember is that if you are going to have a breakout year, you will have to operate with a new level of faith.

 

In operating in a new level of faith, it really pushes you to make faith a lifestyle.  To make living by faith a lifestyle. 

 

Some of the greatest things that you will accomplish for God will come because you decided to step out of your routine, step out of what you normally do, to take a bold step and to make faith a lifestyle.

 

I believe this is the year for you to take a bold step, I believe this is the year for you to do something beyond your own ability or means. I believe this breakout year is the year to live by faith and apply faith on a new level.

 

Scriptures tells us that the just or the righteous must live by faith, this means that them who belong to God, those who say they follow God, have a different guide by which they live, and this guide is the guide of faith.

 

For the major things you want to see done this year, you are going to have to be guided by wisdom yes, guided by opportunities yes, but ultimately you are going to have to be guided by your faith.

 

 

One of the primary things we must do as believers is learn what faith is.  Faith is the cornerstone of all we believe concerning God's Word.

 

Scripture says that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word.  We cant even approach God's word unless there is a level of trust in that what's in God's word is real, alive, active, and available in our lives.

 

The word of God and everything in the word of God must be as real to you as anything else.  This word of God and what it says in this word concerning faith, can't be something that is far off from you, but something that you believe in with all your heart, all your mind, and all your strength.

Here are 5 reasons why it is impossible to please God without faith.

A) Your Faith in God through Jesus Christ separates you from other belief systems that says I believe the YHWH, I believe the God of the scripture and the Holy Bible.  

I believe that pleases God.  A person that says I believe in the faith through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and I believe that he is real, he exists, and he is King of King, Lord of Lords, and higher than any other God. This pleases God!

B) It's impossible to please God without faith because it takes faith to do anything in the Kingdom

It takes faith to do anything in God's Kingdom, within God's order, within God's divine will it takes faith to do anything for God, and this is why I believe that without faith it's impossible to please him, because you can't heal without faith.  You can't prophesy without faith. You can't operate in miracles without faith. You can't tithe without faith. You can't love and forgive without faith. Anything you do in the Kingdom must be done through faith. 

C) It's Impossible to please God without faith because faith is the currency of heaven.

Faith is the exchange between what heaven has, and what you receive. Faith is the way you access the heavens for what God desires to bring into your life.  You pull in what you need by faith, you speak what you need by faith, you work your vision by faith, faith is the currency of heaven.

D) The ultimate goal of your faith is to bring glory to God.

Many times we use our faith as a tool to prosper, but it is detached from a purpose.  We use our faith as a tool to get in a better position, get a bigger house, find a spouse, but our faith really positions us to be released into our God give purpose and to bring glory to God and for people to see the lifestyle of honor and obedience that we have to God that can only be done by faith.

E) God desires to bless your life to bring him glory.

Ultimately your faith brings God glory and pleases him.

What are you in faith for right now? Let that be a place not just to prosper, but to give glory to God, let the thing you are in faith for be a place that desires to please God and give glory to God, and I believe God will lean in and honor the place of your faith.  The object of your faith is not just your desires but the object of your faith is pleasing him.

When you have faith it sends a signal to heaven that I trust you, I believe you, and what I have found is that when God sees a man or a woman that has faith in obstacles, God will lean in and respond to their faith.

Let's look at Mark 5:34

Then He said to her, “Daughter, your faith [your personal trust and confidence in Me] has restored you to health; go in peace and be [permanently] healed from your suffering.” AMP (Mark 5:34)

Mark 5 is the narrative of the woman with the issue of blood.  You know she had been bleeding for 12 years, and what you know is she had a constant problem, she went to doctor after doctor, and only got worse, but she decided to try faith.

Receive this..

There are some situations in life where faith is the only option.  There are some situations in life where you may not have a solution, all you have is faith, and by faith, you trust that God will give the solution.  

This woman needed a God solution, you need a God solution.  This woman knew only Jesus Christ could solve this problem, and she persevered through bleeding, she persevered through losing money, she persevered until she made contact with Jesus.

She persevered through obstacles. 

I believe that's what you've got to do, you may not have any issues of blood, but you have a constant problem, you have a constant struggle.

I want to declare over your life that you are about to get a God solution, that if you keep persevering, God is going to provide you an answer by faith.

God responded to this woman's faith.  I believe you are on the verge of something major, I believe you are on the verge of breaking out, and I believe God is going to respond to your faith!
