STANDING FAITH - 1 Corinthians 2:5By faith we stand! That's the position our faith maintains when we are called by the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ unto his glory. Directly from the word of God we receive, we remember, and we are commanded to stand upright. Stand fast and stand therefore in the faith! Do you have standing faith? Get your Bible, listen, and be blessed…
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Living By Faith In a Faithless World Part Two: Not Knowing Where I'm Going Heb. 11:8 By Louie Marsh, 11-21-2021 Intro – Cartoons …If you do not stand firm in your faith, you will not stand at all. Isaiah 7:9 (NIV) “17For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”” (Romans 1:17, ESV) Living by faith is accepting as FACT the truth that we cannot touch, feel or see, and then ACTING on it! 1) God is calling me to FOLLOW & SERVE Him. “4Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.” (1 Corinthians 12:4–6, ESV) 2) Like Abraham I don't know for sure WHERE I'll end up. By an act of faith, Abraham said yes to God's call to travel to an unknown place that would become his home. When he left he had no idea where he was going. Hebrews 11:8 (MSG) 3) The question is: Will I or won't I OBEY GOD. “26And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.” (Matthew 7:26, ESV) Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat." "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." Acts 10:13-15 (NIV) A guy named Frank finds himself in dire straits. His business has gone bust and he's in serious financial trouble. He's so desperate that he decides to ask God for help. He begins to pray: "God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lottery." Lottery night comes, and somebody else wins it. Frank again prays: "God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well." Lotto night comes, and Frank still has no luck. Once again, he prays: "My God, why have you forsaken me? I've lost my business, my house, and my car. My wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help, and I have always been a good servant to you. PLEASE just let me win the lottery this one time so I can get my life back in order." Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Frank is confronted by the voice of God Himself: "Frank, meet me halfway on this: Go buy a ticket." ONCE I'M WILLING TO OBEY I FIND THAT… Chapter 11 has some great examples of how Faith empowers us – here they are… 1) Faith empowers me to get RIGHT WITH GOD through Jesus! “4By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.” (Hebrews 11:4, ESV) 2) Faith empowers me to PLEASE GOD by consistently following Jesus. “5By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.” (Hebrews 11:5, ESV) 3) Faith empowers me to stand against the crowd – BE DIFFERENT! “7By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.” (Hebrews 11:7, ESV) 4) Faith empowers me to TAKE RISKS for God! “8By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.” (Hebrews 11:8, ESV)
X. The Real Power of the MindEveryone experiences fear, and nobody enjoys it. 2Yet it would take very little right thinking to know why it occurs. 3Very few people appreciate the real power of the mind, and nobody remains fully aware of it all the time. 4This is inevitable in this world, because the human being has many things he must do and cannot engage in constant thought-watching. 5However, if he hopes to spare himself from fear, there are some things he must realize, and realize fully, at least some of the time.2 The mind is a very powerful agent, and it never loses its creative force. 2It never sleeps. 3Every instant it is making or creating, and always as you will. 4Many of your ordinary expressions reflect this. 5For example, when you say, “Don’t give it a thought,” you are implying that if you do not think about something, it will have no effect on you. 6This is true enough.3 On the other hand, many other expressions are clear expressions of the prevailing lack of awareness of thought power. 2For example, you say, “just an idle thought,” and mean that the thought has no effect. 3You also speak of some actions as “thoughtless,” implying that if the person had thought, he would not have behaved as he did. 4You also use phrases like “thought provoking,” which is bland enough, but the term “a provoking thought” means something quite different.4 While expressions like “think big” give some recognition to the power of thought, they still come nowhere near the truth. 2You do not expect to grow when you say it, because you really don’t believe it. 3It is hard to recognize that thought and belief combine into a power surge which can literally move mountains.117 4It appears at first glance that to believe such power about yourself is merely arrogant. 5But that is not the real reason why you don’t believe it. 6People prefer to believe that their thoughts cannot exert real control because they are literally afraid of them.5 Therapists try to help people who are afraid of their own death wishes by depreciating the power of the wish. 2They even attempt to “free” the patient by persuading him that he can think whatever he wants without any real effect at all. 3There is a real dilemma here, which only the truly right-minded can escape. 4Death wishes do not kill in the physical sense, but they do kill spiritually.118 5All destructive thinking is dangerous. 6Given a death wish, a person has no choice except to act upon his thought or behave contrary to it. 7He can thus choose only between homicide and fear (see previous notes on will conflicts).1196 The other possibility is that he depreciates the power of his thought. 2This is the usual psychoanalytic approach.120 3This does allay guilt, but at the cost of rendering thinking impotent. 4If you believe that what you think is ineffectual, you may cease to be overly afraid of it, but you are hardly likely to respect it either. 5The world is full of endless examples of how people have depreciated themselves because they are afraid of their own thoughts. 6In some forms of insanity, thoughts are glorified, but this is only because the underlying depreciation was too effective for tolerance.1217 The truth is that there are no “idle thoughts.” 2All thinking produces form at some level. 3The reason why people are afraid of ESP, and so often react against it, is because they know that thoughts can hurt them. 4Their own thoughts have made them vulnerable.1228 You who complain about fear still persist in producing it most of the time. 2I told you in the last section that you cannot ask me to release you from it, because I know it does not exist.123 3You don’t. 4If I merely intervened between your thoughts and their results, I would be tampering with a basic law of cause and effect, in fact the most fundamental one there is in this world. 5I would hardly help you if I depreciated the power of your own thinking. 6This would be in direct opposition to the purpose of this course.9 It is certainly much more useful for me to remind you that you do not guard your thoughts at all carefully, except for a relatively small part of the day, and somewhat inconsistently even then. 2You may feel at this point that it would take a miracle to enable you to do this, which is perfectly true. 3Human beings are not used to miraculous thinking, but they can be trained to think that way.10 All miracle workers have to be trained that way. 2I have to be able to count on them. 3This means that I cannot allow them to leave their minds unguarded, or they will not be able to help me. 4Miracle working entails a full realization of the power of thought and real avoidance of miscreation. 5Otherwise, the miracle would be necessary merely to set the mind itself straight, a circular process which would hardly foster the time-collapse for which the miracle was intended. 6Nor would it induce the healthy respect which every miracle worker must have for true cause and effect.12411 Miracles cannot free the miracle worker from fear.125 2Both miracles and fear come from his thoughts, and if he were not free to choose one, he would also not be free to choose the other. 3Remember, we said before that when electing one person, you reject another.126 4It is much the same in electing the miracle. 5By so doing, you have rejected fear. 6Fear cannot assail unless it has been elected.12 You have been afraid of God, of me, of yourself, and of practically everyone you know at one time or another. 2This can only be because you have miscreated all of us and believe in what you made. 3You would never have done this, if you had not been afraid of your own thoughts.127 4The vulnerable are essentially miscreators, because they misperceive creation.
