Love the word of God

Sermon Date:  October 12, 2016

Sermon Topic: Love the word of God

Sermon Notes:

Throughout  scripture we see characters in the Bible having to use faith. Abraham believed God. Hebrews 11:1 – When I establish myself in who I am in Christ I’m not easily moved. Love the word of God more than your necessary food.

When you’re down and lonely meditate on God’s word and watch things happen.

How much do you trust God? Can God really trust you?

Are you a dependable disciple where God can trust you? The object of faith is God and the subject of faith is God. We walk by faith and not by sight. What I see, what the natural eye doesn’t move me to doubt.

If you believe in God you automatically must believe in Jesus.

True faith is demonstrated in obedience. God tests us by our faith and measures us by our obedience. Faith is a spiritual force that operates in a spiritual place.

Hebrews 11:1 – Every word of God is true. Now faith is the substance. It’s a firm persuasion.

2 Corinthians 1:20 – All of God’s promises are yes and amen. If you’re having trials of troubles don’t focus on the trouble. It is subject to change, it’s only temporary.

Say what’s coming next.

You can never change what you believe until you change your belief system. If you have faith and you keep focusing on the problem faith will not work.

Faith acts like it is so, even when it’s not so, so it will be so.

Right where you’re having a problem is where God wants to bless you. That’s why he tells you to stand still and see. We see every predicament in our lives as temporary. When God tells you he’s give you something believe it.

Intolerance of your present will predict your future.

Hebrews 11:6 – without faith it is impossible to please God. The way is already made – We don’t need to make a way.

When we walk by faith we can do all things. (Philippians 4: 13)

True faith works by love. There are some who will go their whole life but won’t tell a soul about Jesus. Hear the word, receive it and bring forth fruit. Faith is the only channel through which blessings can be received.

We cancel blessings by what we say.

Believe God for what you need.

Jeremiah 17:7-8 – You must be careful when storing up treasures – freely you’ve received – freely give.

You’ve been blessed. Bless other people. You can’t get more until you release what’s in your hand. You can’t reap before you sow. I’m not worried because God will continue to bless me.

Psalm 91 – make a faith confession. Words have power.

God you are my fortress – he will deliver you. God covers us. There is no need to worry.

Because he covers me, nobody knows what I’m dealing with. Your faith will be tested but it develops your character. We glory in tribulation.

Knowing what tribulation does, it worketh patience, patience begets experience and experience, hope.

The instruction you follow will determine the product you produce. Everything you need to live holy and righteous is in the manual. Meditate day and night on the word to make your way prosperous.

2 Peter 3:5 – We must grow in faith.
