The Force Of Faith

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another word filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests his word and nourishes our spirits.

[0:12] May the life of God enter into you and you as you listen to this message. Be blessed. The force of faith. Let's all say the force of faith.

[0:23] The force of faith. Say it one more time please. The force of faith. For the last time. The force of faith. The force of faith. I suppose we all know what Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 4 says.

[0:38] Habakkuk chapter 2 verse 4. It says that. Behold the proud. His soul is not upright in him. But the just shall live by his faith.

[0:52] Let's all say the last bit together. But the just shall live by his faith. One more time please. But the just shall live by his faith. For the last time.

[1:03] But the just shall live by his faith. So the just shall live by his faith. Okay. And then in the book of Romans chapter 1 verse 14.

[1:15] If so verse 17. It continues to say the just shall live by his faith. Romans chapter 1 verse 17. The just shall live by his faith.

[1:28] Galatians. By faith. I'm sorry. Galatians. Galatians chapter 3 verse 11. Galatians. The just shall live by his faith. The just shall live by his faith. Say it again.

[1:38] The just shall live by. Faith. The just shall live by. Faith. And so to live your life as a God person.

[1:49] It requires faith. Faith is a necessity. You need faith. I'm going to explain a few things about faith. Then I'll go on to that. So where is your faith? Now if I ask you.

[2:02] Where is your. Pistle. Or AK-47. Some guys came around.

[2:12] And you saw them in their. And I say. Where is your AK-47? He said. Now if you don't have it. Why would I say where? If I say where is your AK-47. Then I should expect that you should have it. So I can't ask you where.

[2:25] Something that belongs to you is. If you. I know you don't have it. So if I ask you that question. Then that presumes that you have it. Say I've got faith. I'm going to show you in the scriptures.

[2:36] Whether you've got faith or not. Alright. So. The just shall live by faith. We also see Hebrews chapter 10 verse 38. That the just shall live by faith. So three things I want to establish.

[2:47] Before we move on. That. It takes faith. To live. In God. Alright. It takes faith.

[2:58] To live. In God. It takes. It takes faith. To live. The God life. It takes faith. To.

[3:09] Watch this. And enjoy the goodness of God. I submit to you brothers and sisters. That without faith. God can't help you. Amen. With God all things are possible.

[3:24] Yes. His possibility finds expression in the lives of those who have faith. Alright. So. The possibility of God. His mighty acts.

[3:35] His wondrous acts. Can find expression in only in the lives of people who have faith. Alright. So. First of all. The just shall live by faith.

[3:45] Let's all say that together please. The just shall live by faith. Can I hear the men say it please. The just shall live by faith. Can I hear the ladies please. The just shall live by faith.

[3:55] Hallelujah. And secondly. I want you to realize. As I said earlier on. If. We talk about where is your faith. Every Christian. Every believer has got faith. Now. I'm going to explain something.

[4:06] So. Every believer has got. Has got faith. Or. Has got a level of faith. Or. I prefer this word. A measure of faith. Every believer.

[4:17] Has got faith. Now. Being a Christian. And the faith we're talking about. We are not talking about. When you are filling an application form. They said what is your faith. Religious faith.

[4:28] Okay. Religious persuasion. Of the Christian faith. When we talk about faith here. We are not talking about. Okay. Because I'm a Muslim. I am a Hindu.

[4:39] I am a Pentecostal. Or I am a Catholic. Or whatever. That's that faith. No. That's not what we're talking about. I want to show you the realm of faith. Or.

[4:50] The force of faith. Faith is a. Faith is a force. It's a supernatural. Divine force. So. It's not just. Something that.

[5:02] Someone will say. I belong to this persuasion. So. It's not a philosophical. Philosophical persuasion. I'll go a bit into that.

[5:14] But the second point I want to make is. Every Christian. Every believer. Has got faith. Let's all say that together. Every believer.

[5:25] Pastor prove it. Why do you say. Every believer. Has got faith. Okay. In Ephesians chapter 2. Verse 8. It is so clear. That you can't miss it.

[5:36] If. If. You can't. You can understand. Or. Anything that is. Intelligible. Or. You can just read. Or. If you can read. First. It said. Let's read it together from the screen.

[5:46] Let's go. For God. By grace. You are saved. Through faith. And. Not of yourself. It is the gift of God. All right. How are you saved? By grace.

[5:58] Through what? Okay. Now. I like that scripture so much. Titus 2.11. The. The. The. The. The. The grace of God. That brings what?

[6:10] The grace of God. That does what? Brings salvation. No. That brings salvation. So. It. Salvation is an act of grace. So. It's not your works. It's God at work.

[6:22] Grace is God at work. So. Salvation is an act of grace. And Bible says that. That grace. That makes us saved. Okay. That grace.

[6:33] That brings salvation. Has appeared. To all men. So then. If you are not saved. It's not God's fault. Right. Because it's available. To all.

[6:45] The grace that makes us saved. Has appeared. To all men. Say all men. All men. There are a lot of people. Who have issues. About the message of grace. Right.

[6:55] They said. And when they get out. They say grace. Grace. So you can. Because grace. Available. You can do all kinds of things. People are singing. And they say. Grace. Grace. That grace. That grace. Because when you listen. To the message of grace. Carefully.

[7:06] Or no listen. But when you follow the message of grace. Very carefully. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's.

[7:16] It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. of grace so strong it makes it look like it doesn't matter what anybody does that because your works don't matter it's just grace because grace doesn't need your work to function so you don't have to do anything for grace to function once grace is there it's just you I just enjoy that in spite of what you do so it comes across like that and actually Paul the greatest theologian of our of Christianity the greatest theologian actually taught so much about grace he had to explain that so shall we continue to sin that grace because people are saying that you are saying grace grace and people are sinning and they are fornicated and they are okay in church and you are telling the grace to take care of it see there are some people can teach for instance I'm going to say this because a lot of pastors of my kind of background and training most of them believe that once you if you are saved and you fall into sin you go to hell but I believe from scriptures if you have saved you are forever saved now what saves you is your belief in Christ now if you reject Christ then that's a different story but so you can lose your salvation to that extent but then once you are saved when I go born again we were made to understand that if you lie and you don't repent and you maybe you you join the train like some of you sometimes do when you come under pressure and you go on the train nowadays they are tightening it and you don't pay and then the inspector comes and said no I paid already you are lying and then the plane the train something happens and you die guess what because you lied guess what you are going to hell oh you're a

[9:01] Christian you've been you've been in church every time dying everything and one day you don't know some demon came on you or not demon you yourself became a demon and you found yourself on the wrong bed doing something and in the course of doing you had a heart attack you were so charged I had a heart attack and you die guess where you are going straight to hell that is that and so when people teach on it's infuriating some people it really infuriating some people what do you mean by grace grace grace grace grace grace grace grace grace and so why did I bring this in this is just digression but I brought it in because of the scripture we just read in Titus chapter 2 verse 11 that the grace of God that brings salvation had appeared so when the pastor said it would be now there's everybody they are teaching on grace grace and it doesn't matter what you do grace that's a sarcasm being sarcastic doesn't matter what you do then I

[10:05] I said no actually the grace that brings salvation verse 12 of Titus chapter 2 it says so so Titus chapter 2 verse 11 let's see what verse 11 says verse 11 says for the grace that brings salvation has appeared to all okay before then remember Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 says that for you are saved by grace and through faith and not of your works so grace means that my love works so that's why I keep saying it doesn't matter what some what someone had done once we get to church we are all on the same level before God before grace grace so because grace doesn't take recognition of works because that verse 9 they say that look at verse 9 verse 9 says that not of works lest anyone should boast that's when you feel you are good because you've tried you fasted 89 days and this one is to be messing have we come to church and you're not on the same level before you are on the same level before you are not on the same level and because when I got born again I was surrounded with this very very fiery charged Christians fasting 24-7 we were very fiery and I discovered that some of the brothers were you know good they were fiery and then we are in a church but the other people we know are not fiery they don't even like praying like we pray when this prayer time when like some of us do when it's church time when you know you will be prayer first you will come you wait and you know first two songs are not that hot so you will wait you come on you you will even sit in the car and wait or that now they are praying you know so we don't like that we don't like those believers those of us who are so fiery and we are always fasting when the church is fasting that when we are doing 30 days in church some of us will do 37 and some people we know they will be eating throughout we come to church and we are all the same so we didn't kind of like them but you know the irony some of them you could see god's blessing them you could see god some of like like like someone who has not never never never for negated it kept you so clean and you can't find any woman to marry oh you are not married no man and these people who have been messing up is me oh they are wedding and then they are wedding and you are see if you don't take care you will die in pain and bitterness because you think you deserve by virtue of your good works no i am not saying that what the good things we do in obedience to god are not important but i'm saying that we can't bribe god into giving us grace grace is in spite of ways do you understand that now and so so when he said that i said yes the message that tells us that we are saved by grace down titus chapter 2 verse 11 he said the grace of god that brings salvation all right so salvation is an act of grace the grace that brings i'll go back to faith in a minute okay the grace that brings salvation has appeared to all men look at this 12 teaching that's 12. no no no titus ah who is that titus chapter 2 verse 12 teaching us did you see that so what is teaching us that's right so that grace that saves you also teaches you so you can't say i'm saved but this one doesn't matter because that thing that saved you has been telling show you what to do so if you are genuinely saved some things can naturally to you that i can't do this i can't go here i can't say this i can't be able to because salvation comes as a package and some things are installed in your system which begins to teach you so there's nothing like just grace and work do anything when you are save and you encounter grace you can't just do anything that's what possible so we continue that grace we aware god forbid that galilee romans chapter 6 chapter 6 verse 1 and 2 shall we continue that

[14:06] great grace we are bound he said god forbid verse 2 just about god forbid certainly not how shall we who have died to sin live there? So it's not compatible.

[14:18] Grace, pure grace, when you encounter grace, you can continue living recklessly. Say amen. Alright, so how do I make use of this grace since it's appeared to all men? We discovered in Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8, that for Ephesians 2, verse 8, for by grace, you see, by grace you have been, so grace saves us. But how do you get into that grace?

[14:45] Shun faith! Is anyone here saved? How did you get saved? That's it. You're going to the other side of the river, East London, and all the bridges are blocked.

[15:01] Apart from the two tunnels, you must have gone through the tunnel. So you can't get there without going through the medium, the doorway, access to the place, is faith.

[15:13] So it's in Romans, Romans chapter 4, verse 16, it says, for it is of faith that it might be according to grace.

[15:26] Therefore, it is of faith. See, faith is the only thing that makes grace effective. Hallelujah. Yeah, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace, grace.

[15:39] Grace is available to all men. Now, the biggest thing that God can ever do for anybody is to help you and save you not to go to hell and to give you of himself.

[15:54] The best gifts God gave to humanity. When Bible spoke about the love of God, do you know what Bible said about God's love? He said, for God's love, that he gave money?

[16:07] No. That he gave job? No. That he gave healing? No. That he gave wife? No. That he gave husband, babies?

[16:19] No. That he gave his only begotten son? Why did he do that? So that whosoever connects, believes in him, shall not perish. So, see, saving us from perishing is God's exclusive act of love.

[16:34] Alright? So now, listen to this. So if that's why Paul made this argument in Romans chapter 8, verse 32, 33, he says that, if he who did not spare his only son, Romans chapter 8, verse 32, 33, if God, he who, he who did not spare his only son, his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him, say with him?

[16:59] With him. Shall with him? With him. So from the scripture, Bible says that God will give, if he has given Jesus, then he will give any other thing. No. Why am I saying this?

[17:10] I'm saying this to underscore the point that salvation is the biggest thing that we can ever have in life. That's right. What? And he says that we are saved by grace through faith.

[17:22] If the biggest, greatest thing in life, you got it through faith, then all these other sad things. Alright. Now, Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8 back there, he says that, for by grace are ye saved through faith.

[17:40] How? Through faith. So, if anyone is saved, this text stands to imply, inherent in the text is the suggestion or is the proposition that anyone who is saved has faith.

[17:54] God, that's the only way you can be saved. That's the only way you can be saved. All those who have been to Afghanistan and back have helmets.

[18:07] And I meet you, I come to you, so I have been there. Okay, where's your helmet? I didn't have some. No. Either the statement is not valid or you didn't go. So, we have to choose one.

[18:18] Either we choose what you are saying that you went and the statement is not valid or the statement is not, is valid and you didn't go. So, the same way, he said, you are saved by grace through faith and if you are telling me you are saved but I don't have faith, then either you are not really saved or the Bible is not correct.

[18:39] Now, which one should I take? Can you give me a reason why I should believe you instead of God? Right, so then, the point, I've said all this to bring home the point that if you are saved, then you have faith.

[18:58] So, it makes sense when Jesus said, where is your faith? Why are you dying? Put it out! Where is your faith? Survive. Where is your faith?

[19:10] Oh! They've cancelled my insurance. They've cut my electricity, my gas and everything and I'm freezing to death and I can't drive because they cancelled my insurance.

[19:24] But you told me that you have a lot of money in your account, you don't know. So, why is that? No, I saw it. I saw when they transferred. So, why is the money? So, if you have this, you can't be having this and still be going through this.

[19:39] believers are not supposed to suffer like everyone suffers. Now, let's get this thing in balance. Sometimes, you may go through a wilderness but if it stays too long, it becomes questionable or there are some of the wilderness is where are the Israelites?

[20:01] They went to Canerland. They are there. They are there. So, the wilderness is just to polish you for what is coming. That's right. That's why I am of a firm opinion that no believer can remain barren.

[20:14] Say amen. Amen. Particularly if you are busy in church. You can't be busy in church and be remembering. Isaac, they were going to look for a wife of Isaac.

[20:27] There was a grace that came upon Abraham's servant in Genesis and when the servant got there, the right woman came and he didn't waste time. He said, ah, you are the one that thing where within 24 hours, Isaac was married.

[20:40] So, it is necessary to understand that everyone has got faith. Look at Romans chapter 12, verse 3. Romans 12, verse 3. Is anyone born again here?

[20:54] Yes. Anyone born again here? Yes. If you are born again, say, I've got faith. I've got faith. Say it again, I've got faith. I've got faith. Then isn't it ironic that we allow people who don't have faith to advise us based on issues of life, major issues of life?

[21:11] This is his base of... Now, watch this. If, if, if, if, you, yes, you've got some money in your account, about half a million. They just, someone just willed it to you.

[21:22] You say amen? Amen. Amen. I think it's good. I mean, a financial advisor may not be born again, but when it comes to maybe where to invest, that's his job.

[21:37] Okay? So then, or when you go to a lawyer, a doctor, he may not be born again, but those are the speciality. However, sometimes, your speciality begins to go so far that defy your confidence of what you know God is telling you.

[21:53] So then you have to, then put on your faith, or you have to walk in faith and obey God's word and the, you know, experience of any other thing.

[22:03] However, what I'm saying is that sometimes people can give you advice because that's the area of speciality. That's different. That's different from lifestyle advice. So someone is telling you, he doesn't even understand the language of faith and he's telling you, but why do you have to go to church?

[22:19] Why do you have to go to church too many times? And so you have to be careful who advises you on the major subjects of life and your matters of faith. Say amen. Amen. Romans chapter, what does it say?

[22:31] Romans chapter 12, verse 3. Did you see what's there? Romans chapter 12, it says, therefore I say, through the grace given to me to everyone who is among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think so badly.

[22:45] Let's read that part to get a last one. As God has dealt with each one a measure of... As what? God has dealt with each one a measure of...

[22:55] One more time. As God has dealt with each one a measure of... So everyone has a measure of faith. Each one is not talking about all humanity. It's like, let's say, something like a helicopter.

[23:10] Faith. Okay? So it's always the grace of God that brings salvation appear to all men. So when you hear the word of God, okay?

[23:21] So let's say two people are hearing the word of God. And he believes, receive, as soon as he believes, that faith, that faith is actually in itself, it's a gift of God.

[23:32] Right? Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8. It says that, for by Ephesians 2, 8, by grace are you saved through faith and not of your voice, that's gift of God. Okay? So that gift, as soon as you open your heart to accept the word, it lands on you to make, so that you can make use of the grace for salvation.

[23:51] Now, when the word is preached, this one receive, it comes, this one is not receive, it's gone. So the one who received has the gift of faith that Bible says God has given by Romans chapter, chapter 12, verse 3.

[24:08] God has, Romans 12, 3, talks about how God has. It's God who deals with everyone and measures faith. So two things I've said so far, I just shall live by faith.

[24:19] And then number two, every believer has faith. And number three, you have an option. 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and 7, it says, for we walk by faith, not by sight.

[24:31] Okay? 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and 7, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Did you see that? 2 Corinthians, for we walk by faith and not by sight.

[24:42] Let's all say that. Let's read it together. We walk by faith, not by sight. We walk by faith and not by sight. That means that there are two ways. You can either walk by faith or by sight.

[24:55] You can choose to walk by faith and walk by sight. We, the we is talking about those who have got faith. Faith, thank you Jesus, faith is given to us for us to walk by.

[25:08] Say the realm of faith. Say the force of faith. The force of faith. Right? So, first thing, the judge shall live by faith. Okay, we live by faith. Second, everyone has got a measure of faith.

[25:19] Third point is that you have an option. You can choose to walk by faith or by sight. But the Bible said the way we walk is by faith and not by sight.

[25:30] All right? So, faith is a divine force. I want you, this is going to be interesting. Hebrews chapter 11, verse 1. One more time, please.

[25:49] Faith is a substance of things so forth. It's evidence of things that have not yet showed up. So, the evidence that those things exist is faith.

[26:02] So, you haven't seen it but you have the evidence. So, believers walk by faith. They walk by evidence of things that normal human beings haven't noticed exist.

[26:15] People haven't seen that your marriage exists, is there. They haven't seen your healing exists. That's why they're making the diagnosis and all that is telling you because they haven't seen the healing but it's there.

[26:28] They haven't seen your financial freedom and financial empowerment but it's there. All right? So, so it says that faith is the evidence of things not seen. Then he went on to talk about how for by faith the elders obtained good reports.

[26:42] But at verse 3, let's look at Hebrews chapter 11 verse 3. If the Bible is yours, I want you to do some underlining. You know what I discovered? That this text actually says a lot.

[26:56] Speaks volumes. Actually, every text speaks volumes. But if you look at it just from a normal, with the normal eye, you may not notice something over there. For by faith we understand that the wells were framed by the word of God.

[27:11] So that things are, this is what makes it nicer. So that things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. What's the point here? Do you know that you can put a dash after the faith and then put a dash after the that, the first that.

[27:34] You can put a bracket before the W of the we, after the faith. The we understand that you can put them in brackets.

[27:46] Now if you put those ones in brackets, how does it read? Read, let's go. By faith to the wells for grace and the well of God. So that things that are seen were not made of things.

[28:01] Hmm. What are you trying to say, pastor? We can put it this way. We understand that by faith.

[28:12] the wells were framed by the word of God.

[28:40] Okay. So we, by faith, the wells were framed by the word of God. So that, that is why that accounts for the fact that things that are seen were not made of things that are visible.

[28:56] That's how, because faith operates, we walk by faith and not by sight. We walk by faith and not necessarily by visible things. Okay. And he's saying that faith, God made these things by faith.

[29:11] Hmm. Does that make sense when Jesus said that if you, if you believe all things are possible to him who believes?

[29:22] Yeah. But we only know that there's only one being who, with him, all things are possible. God. God. God. In Matthew chapter 17, I think, Mark chapter 18, verse 20, Luke chapter 18, verse 28, 19, verse 20, there it talks about how with God all things are possible.

[29:46] Then Jesus comes on the scene and tells his disciples in the book of Mark chapter 4, verse 23, that if you believe, all things are possible to him who believes, not God.

[29:58] Okay. This is Mark chapter 9, I'm sorry, chapter 9, verse 23. Mark chapter 9, verse 23, Jesus said to him, if you can believe, all things are possible to him. Did you realize that him is not God?

[30:09] the ordinary man who believes, right? The ordinary, ordinary man who believes. He says that all things are possible for you who believes. Ah, so as soon as you believe, you are operating in a realm which God operates.

[30:24] You don't get it? You don't get it? Because God operates in the realm of faith. That's why he said they're just. People who work with God can only do it by faith because God operates in the realm of faith.

[30:36] So faith is not just some ideology. Faith is a force. It's a realm. You stay there. So you don't, this thing shocked me when I discovered about Abraham that Abraham, when God spoke to him he's going to have a child which I mentioned last last week's seminar.

[30:51] He didn't believe, like Bible says that, he didn't believe or he didn't have the child because he was younger or older. His faith in God would have remained the same whether he was 20 years, whether he was 30 years, whether he was 50 years, whether he was 70 years, 80 years, or 100 years.

[31:10] The years was irrelevant. It's the faith. So faith is not based on circumstance. Faith is purely based on God's word. And so, the point here is that you don't wait until you are in trouble before you try to work by faith.

[31:23] Right. Okay. Right on that. Don't wait for trouble. Don't wait for trouble to try and pull out faith like a sword. Most of the time they say, the thing is not working.

[31:36] The thing is not working. The thing is not working. If you wait for trouble before you say, okay, now I'm going to live by faith, that means you're actually using God. You are not working with God. But when you have faith, and whether things are good or things are bad, see, faith is not only for good times.

[31:55] That's right. So, not that it's just for bad times. So, so, so, things are so bad. Yes, I mean, when things are bad, I don't want to go to church.

[32:07] I just want to be by myself this time. It's too much. I don't want to sing any song again.

[32:20] I'm tired. This fast, I'll do it again. And when trouble came, now all your faith has jumped out of the window. And I begin to say, I'm even tired. I'm even tired. God needs to send a man to come and teach you about wilderness before you can say, oh God.

[32:35] I'm even tired. Why is it? I've waited. No, I'm not having a child. Everybody, and some people, three months of marriage, they're already worried. What if I can't have children?

[32:49] How can you be thinking like that? How can you think you can't have children? That's wrong. How can you think you can't have children? It's like saying, oh, if I drink water, maybe it won't go into my stomach. It will come out of my ears.

[33:00] Oh, how can you be thinking like that? It is not, that is not your remorse for some, I don't know. Not having children is not your, not getting married unless you don't want to.

[33:12] But it's not for you, it's not your portion. You say amen. Amen. Maybe I will never get married. What was the maybe coming from? The devil is likely speaking to you. God, Adam, where are you?

[33:25] We are naked, we are free. God said, who told you? Where are you getting this foreign information from? Did you find this in my word? Did you find it in my word? Maybe I won't get married. Find it in my word? Maybe I won't have a child.

[33:36] Find it in my word? Maybe I will never be healed. Find it in my word? Maybe I will die early. No one is permitted to die young here. Amen. Amen. Bible says that God saved Shadrach, Mezak, and Abednego because they trusted in him.

[33:52] Not because they are very good. No normal human being can quench fire. You can't quench violence of fire without any apparatus. Hey, Bible says they quench, they stop the violence of fire.

[34:05] And in Daniel, Bible says that because they are trusted in their God. I think Daniel 2.28 or 3.28. They are trusted in your God. When you trust in God, things just can't happen to you.

[34:22] Hallelujah. Amen. Is someone getting something? Amen. Pull your faith. Walk by faith. Tomorrow, if I finish, I'm going to have to go on releasing your faith.

[34:33] Wow. Get interested. It's just, they were in the storm. In Mark chapter 8. And they thought they were going to die. They came walking, and walked Jesus up.

[34:43] Jesus, Jesus, we perish. Jesus. Like some of us do. In the letter news, we hear, oh, I'm dead, I'm dead. Oh. What's your problem? You heard that they changed some laws.

[34:56] Who told you it's got to do with you? You heard that now, they said they changed laws, you can't, you can't keep your house for this long, or you can't, you're about to sign a contract by, they said, change the law.

[35:07] Some people are sitting somewhere, they changed the law. What has that got to do? Pastor, you don't know what you're talking about. No, it's not, Bible, in Matthew chapter 9, verse 29, it says that it shall be according to your faith.

[35:21] Not according to the law. According to your faith. According to your faith. What's your problem? According to your faith. Stay in the realm of faith. Sometimes the devil, suddenly, brings some smoke. It's fearful, spares.

[35:32] And when you are beginning to, begin to enjoy your life, your marriage, then all of a sudden, you feel some pain, and then you go to the hospital, they say, looks like you are getting to cancer.

[35:43] No! Don't run away. It's one of those things. It's one of those things. Now, people who have even cancer, one month to live, God said, there's this nonsense.

[35:57] You have to go to America and study. So he re-writes the whole thing. Haven't you been, where you've sent him some documents, and they, they, possibly they didn't write it well, or they gave you a lesser one, or they didn't approve it, and then the boss himself takes it, he says, don't worry.

[36:12] I cancel the sciences, and I'll give a better one. But he gives it to you. This is what God's doing. So, don't be worried. Fear not. Only. Me. Fear not only.

[36:22] Me. Fear not only. Me. Amen. All those things are mirage. To scare you, the devil is a liar. You walk by faith, and not by sight.

[36:35] Where is your faith? In the time of storm. Stay in faith. May I submit to you, brothers and sisters, that every walk of faith, every claim of faith, will be tested.

[36:53] You got faith? All right. All right. It will be tested. It will be, not God, God coming to test your faith, but situations will come up.

[37:05] That's why Jesus said, where is your faith? And when I was telling the text, one of the things that stood very clear, strong in my mind was, ah, okay, where, the faith, is it the faith, they have in things working, that things will not overshadow them, or faith in Jesus.

[37:20] God, Jesus said, where is your faith, when they woke him up? Master, we are going to perish, we are going to perish. Jesus said, where is your faith? Is he talking about your faith in me, or your faith that life cannot just, and when you read the other translation, no other translation, other, other accounts in Mark, and particularly Matthew, Jesus said, why are you so fearful?

[37:41] They were afraid of the storms. All right, so the storms, what they know about storms, is that storms can drown you. And Bible says, categorically, in Luke chapter, chapter, chapter 8, verse 23, downwards, Bible talks, says categorically, that the water began to fill their boats.

[38:02] Now, water filling boats, naturally, you know that boat is sinking, because there's nothing wrong with boats being on water, but there's a problem when water is in boats. Some of us have got some problems, isn't it?

[38:17] Water is in your boat, and you are screaming. At least, thank God we tried it, and it works. Evidence here. Sometimes people tell me things, and naturally speaking, it sounds scary.

[38:29] When you think about water in the boat, you know that this doesn't look good at all. It doesn't look good. But that's not the end of the story.

[38:41] Tell someone, that's not the end of the story. That's not the end of the story. I'm not the end of the story. So, so, this is where is your faith? When things happen like that, where is your faith?

[38:53] Now, I have submitted to you that, by faith, God framed the wells, by his word. That is why things that appear, are not made, by things that are visible.

[39:08] So, even God, operates by faith. My master, he said faith is, believing in God. So, God believes in himself, or some other God. See, so faith, that's why I want you to understand, in my conclusion, that faith is not just, a mental projection.

[39:27] It's not. And most of us, the problem is, we have feeling generated, or feeling based faith. So, when we feel good, we feel, oh, today, someone can just get up and say, the way the weather is so sunny, I feel that it's going to be good for me.

[39:45] Oh, leave this for normal, unbelievers. I mean, it's not wrong. If you want to live in that room, leave it for, move on there. I woke up, and it's still dark.

[39:58] It's 12 midday, and the whole, the weather is so dark, you still know, that the day is good. I woke up, and it's, the sun is so hot, bright day.

[40:09] It doesn't matter. You still know, that day is good. Because, the scripture said, this, is, the day, that the Lord, has made, we will rejoice, and be glad, in it.

[40:24] Not that the sun is shining. He said, once you have entered the day, it's yours. You didn't hear what I said. Once you have entered the day, it's yours.

[40:36] It's yours for rejoicing. It's yours for rejoicing. And so don't wait. So faith is not a feeling. Sometimes you may feel afraid, in your mind, but the word of God, in your heart, makes you know.

[40:55] One of the very, wild news I heard, it wasn't nice. I knew that, it's not a problem. And I started rejoicing, whoa, faith challenge has come.

[41:07] Whoa, let's see what God does good. Then I said, if it is God, who is behind this assignment? Then let's see. He can, he can, he can, he can, God is with you.

[41:23] So don't wait till you feel good, before you know it's going to be good. Just feel faith. Born by faith. Because faith is not a feeling. Faith is a realm. Faith is a force.

[41:35] And you're prayed by that force, and everything begins to line up. Faith is a force. It's a divine force, by which things were created. And God said, now that's how you got to walk.

[41:45] God, God, God walk. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry. To hear more from David Entry, follow him on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
