Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

 “ 44) Jesus shouted to the crowds, ‘if you trust me, you are really trusting God who sent me.  45) For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me.  46) I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness.  47) If any one hears me and doesn’t obey me, I am not his judge—for I have come to save the world and not to judge it.  48) But all who reject me and my message will be judged at the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken.  49) I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me gave me his own instructions as to what I should say.  50) And I know his instructions lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say!” John 12:44-50 (NLT)

 GOD is the only Judge; vengeance and recompense is of Him. Therefore, we keep our focus on the Lord Jesus – author and finisher or perfecter of our faith. GOD who is LOVE has called us to live in peace with a command to love. To exemplify the peace of Jehovah Shalom bought and brought by the redemptive work of the Prince of Peace – YESHUA/JESUS, renders discernible as to one’s belief that GOD is Omnipotent. During the last few weeks, however, a significant number of the Body of Christ: displayed a kind of desperate fear, prayed as though such was a form of hocus pocus, quoted Scripture in a taunting manner, and passed judgement. There were discussions about “friends” who dropped “friends” due to lack of agreement. A prophet took instruction from a politician on how the children of GOD ought to pray, and quickly forwarded the instructions thereof. Pastors threw hissy fits from the altar of GOD; and children of GOD threw temper tantrums when results didn’t turn-out as they deemed it should be. Although it was good to see earnest prayer via the internet, a significant number of these asked the LORD to do what He delegated to the Body of Christ. Those reconciled unto the Family of GOD by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus must keep our eye or focus on Him because man is prone to stumble and stumble others whether intentional or inadvertently. Fear isn’t a part of our covenant package. “For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:7 (AMP). The measure of faith and the God kind of love by which faith is powered are included in our covenant package. Yet comprehension and application of God’s Word further develops faith.

  • Faith trust GOD. I believe that the LORD will do what He says.
  • Faith believes GOD. I believe that the promises of GOD are already done.
  • Faith pleases GOD. I believe GOD has pleasure in those who seek Him.
  • Faith relies on GOD. I believe the favor of GOD is upon those reconciled unto Him by the finished work of Christ Jesus.
  • Faith withdraws from GOD. I believe the grace of GOD gifted providence by the redemptive work Christ Jesus.
  • Faith decrees the manifested presence of GOD. I believe and use the delegated authority in the Name above all names to bind and loose.

“Because she loves Me’ says the LORD, I rescue her. I protect her because she acknowledges My Name. She calls upon Me and I answer her. I Am with her in trouble, I deliver her and honor her. With long life I satisfy her and show her my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16 (personalized). The Sovereign Lord God Almighty is Omniscient. Therefore, Abba Father knows that I’m aware of His compassionate love and grace toward all people; that the LORD is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow; and that He will never forsake. “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” 1 John 5:4 (KJV). Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing is The Overcomer; “in Him” we are overcomers. Victory to establish GOD’s Covenant in the earth is by the Written Word, the Living Word, and the Living Water. For the favor of GOD is upon the righteous by the blood of JESUS. The Spirit of GOD is in you and me. The Anointing of GOD is in you and me. The healing power of GOD is in and upon you and me. Faith is confidence in the One who is Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent.
