How To Walk By Faith

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:12] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. Someone who believes shouts Hallelujah! I believe God has brought us together to show us His goodness, to show us His power, to show us His glory.

[0:34] And I see the glory of God about to burst forth over your life. People will be amazed and they will say, this day our eyes have seen great things.

[0:46] Because of the things God is about to do in your life, people will say, And we have never seen it like this before. Mark chapter 2 verse 12. Immediately He arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all, so that all were amazed and glorified God, saying, We never saw anything like this.

[1:11] I'm talking about your testimony. People will be amazed and say, we never saw anything like this. We never saw anything like this.

[1:21] I'm talking about you. People who know you. Friends and loved ones. Family members and neighbors. They are even enemies. They are about to admit and confess about your testimony.

[1:33] About your success. About your blessings. About your breakthroughs. About the miracles that God is about to manifest in your life. They are about to confess and say, we never saw it like this.

[1:45] They will be amazed and they will say, we are amazed. For we have never seen anything like this. They will be amazed and say, we never saw anything like this.

[1:56] That is what is about to happen. And in Luke chapter 5 verse 26, the same thing. They said, we have seen strange things. Oh, I feel it's somebody's day.

[2:08] I believe it's somebody's moment. I believe it's somebody's time. It's about to be said about you. We have seen strange things today. I'm talking about your good news is going to provoke this kind of confession from people.

[2:23] From your loved ones. From your friends. From your enemies. From your family. From your neighbors. From your acquaintances. From your colleagues. They are all going to say, we have seen strange things.

[2:35] Our ears have heard strange things. Why? Because God is still working. God is changing somebody's story. God is visiting you with his power and his glory.

[2:47] If you believe it, shout a living. Amen. Amen. Glory to Jesus. God is real and God is here.

[2:58] God is real and God is here. 2021. A year of victory. A year of victory. This is the victory that overcomes the world.

[3:10] Even our faith. A year of victory. This is the victory that overcomes the world. Even our faith. Everybody shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Shout a living hallelujah.

[3:22] Again, shout a believing hallelujah. Shout a dynamic hallelujah. Shout a faith-filled hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. God is real and God is here.

[3:36] God is real and God is here. Hallelujah. God is here. So, pastor, if God is here, how do I also connect?

[3:47] How do I also get it? It's simple. If what you want is God, then all it takes is faith. If what you need and what you want is God, then all it takes is faith.

[4:01] If God is what you want, all it takes is faith. Faith. Faith. Faith. For without faith, it is simply impossible to please God.

[4:15] Watch this, brothers and sisters. In the book of Hebrews chapter 11 verse 31, Bible says, By faith, Rahab, Rahab, she was a prostitute. By faith, the harlot, the prostitute, Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe.

[4:32] So, people perish because of unbelief, not because of the inability of God. When someone asks you, if there is God, why are all these evil things happening?

[4:43] That's the answer. People perish because of unbelief, not because of God's inability. It is their choice of unbelief.

[4:54] Unbelief. If God wants to help you, he will send a message you would have to believe. He said, send to Joppa and send for one named Peter. In Acts chapter 11 verse 14.

[5:07] Send for one named Peter who will come and tell you words. When he comes, he's coming to tell you words. He will tell you words by which you and your household shall be saved.

[5:19] It takes words. So, if God wants to help you, he will send a word. And what do you do with the word you believe? He said, for whoever shall call on the name of God.

[5:31] Romans of the Lord. Romans chapter 10 verse 12. Whoever shall, verse 12. For the same Lord is rich unto all. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek.

[5:42] For the same Lord over all is rich unto all who call on his name. For whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Then he goes on.

[5:52] But how can they call? How shall they call on him whom they have not believed? So, it starts with your believing. But if you want to believe, it says that, but how shall they believe in whom they have not heard?

[6:05] So, someone needs to speak for someone to believe. And when you believe, one of the early signs of believing is you take some steps. You call on his name. And after you call on his name, you don't show up.

[6:18] So, there is a role to play to see God at work. But in order to be able to do what you have to see, what you have to do, to see what you have to see, you need to hear something.

[6:29] So, it starts with hearing. And hearing will be converted into doing. And the doing will be converted into manifestation or seeing. So, you might have all kinds of explanations.

[6:40] People are tired of your explanations. Let them see the manifestations. Let them see. A few years ago, my friend, Pastor David Redepo, he was preaching in David Redepo, Jr.

[6:51] He was preaching in Carriage. And he made a statement. He said, people are not interested in the explanation. They've had a lot of your explanation. They've heard a lot of it.

[7:03] Now, they want the manifestation. Because Romans chapter 8, it says that, verse 19, it says that, for the entire earth groaned for the, to see the manifestation of the sons of God.

[7:18] For the earnest expectation of creature awaits the manifestation, not explanation. You have given explanation enough. Now, it's time. It's about time to manifest the power of God.

[7:28] It's about time for the power of God to manifest in your marriage, to manifest in your career, to manifest in your ministry, to manifest in your health, to manifest in your relationship, to manifest in your business, to manifest in your education, to manifest in your endeavors.

[7:44] In the mighty name of Jesus. And that is where we are going. This year is certainly a year of victory. In spite of what is happening around us, what is happening around us does not determine the victory we get.

[7:55] Because our victory is from above. Our blessings are from above. Our triumph is from above. It is God who gives us the victory. It is God who causes us to triumph. In 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 58.

[8:08] It is God who causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus. He causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus. He causes us to, 57. But thanks be to God who gives us the victory.

[8:19] So, He gives us the victory through Christ Jesus. And in 2 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 14. He causes us to triumph. He causes us to triumph.

[8:31] He causes us, thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph. King James. Now we thank God who always, who always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus.

[8:45] So, our triumphs come from God. But there is a way to connect. How do you connect? You have to call on His name. But how can you call without hearing? So, as you are hearing tonight, I see your faith rising.

[8:57] And as your faith rising and you are believing, you will be calling. Your believing will convert into calling. Believing plus action is what is called faith. Hallelujah. Believing plus action is what we call faith.

[9:09] In the name of Jesus. So, by faith, Rahab, Hebrews 11, 31. By faith, Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe.

[9:19] She did not perish. Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe. When she received the spice. So, with peace. There is an action you will take.

[9:31] There is a step you will take that will exempt you from common problems. From common things everybody is suffering. Why? Because of your faith. A step of faith. And I see somebody moving by faith in the name of Jesus.

[9:44] In Acts chapter 14 from verse 6. Acts verse 7 says, Paul was preaching. Paul was preaching. And as he was preaching, there was a man from verse 6. It talks about a man.

[9:54] And in Lystra, verse 8, in Lystra, a man, a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting. A cripple from his mother's womb who never walked.

[10:06] He had never walked. He doesn't. He needs. He needs. He needs. He needs. He needs such a person who will need a lot of physio. Even if strength comes back to his feet. His legs. Physio. But this man had never walked.

[10:17] Cripple from his mother's womb. But then 9 verse 9 is where the miracle took place. This man had Paul speaking. So you have to hear. And Paul observing him intensely, seeing that he had faith to be healed.

[10:32] Faith is an action. So I'm sure the man started doing some actions. While the pastor was preaching, Pastor Paul was preaching. The man said, no, I've had enough of this weakness in mind. I have to walk.

[10:42] I don't need physio. I walk. I walk. But Paul saw that this man had faith to be healed. He saw that this man, seeing that he had faith to be healed. So there is faith that will generate the healing.

[10:54] The preacher preached. He heard Paul. But because of hearing Paul, something started. How can they believe without a preacher? That's what I'm saying. That's what the Bible says. How can they believe on him whom they have not heard?

[11:08] They have to hear in order to believe. So when we come to church, what we are told in church is actually setting the foundation for our faith. As you are hearing the word and you open your heart, I see the power of God coming towards you.

[11:23] I see the hand of God. I see the manifestation of God's glory coming over your family, coming over your marriage. Because of the word of God, you have heard. The word you have been hearing and you are receiving and opening your heart.

[11:35] And so Bible says that this man had Paul preaching. Paul saw he had faith to be healed. Then Paul told him, rise up and walk. And stand up straight on your feet.

[11:48] And he lived and walked without physio. He lived. He has never walked. And he was a man. He lived and walked. Because faith was so right. Your faith is necessary for your next faith.

[12:00] Your faith is necessary for your next faith. Can I say that again? Your faith is a necessary requirement in God for your next faith. For your next faith. Your faith.

[12:10] Your faith. Your faith. It will set the tone for your future. In the mighty name of Jesus. So, pastor. How can I also receive belief? Believe. Connect yourself.

[12:21] So, may I tell you the foundation of faith. This month is a month of radical faith. The foundation of pure faith. Genuine faith. Biblical faith.

[12:32] Sometimes people think they have faith. But it's just positive mind. Mindset they have. Positive mindset is not the same as faith. Please. Please. I beg now.

[12:42] I beg. Positive mindset is not the same as faith. So, you're okay. Okay. I believe. I believe. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. No, no, no. Please. Please. Please. Please. What is your platform?

[12:53] What is your basis for that confidence? If the basis is not hinged in God's word, forget it. I told you. Forget it. That's how some people say it. Forget it. Forget it. If it's not hinged on God's word, forget it.

[13:05] It's not faith. It's faith. It's not faith. It's faith. Sometimes people confuse faith with being optimistic. Okay.

[13:16] I'm full of optimism. I'm optimistic about the future. I'm optimistic about my job. Please. That's not what we are talking about. When we say faith. Please. That's all you mean.

[13:28] That's all. It's not a religious philosophy. It's not a religious ideology. Faith is real. Faith is real actions.

[13:40] So, one. The foundation of true faith. Number one. It must be based on the word of God. Romans chapter 10 verse 17. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. That's how it comes.

[13:51] So, the foundation of faith. Three things that form the foundation of faith. Is the word of God. The word of God must come. Without the word of God, no one can operate by faith. No one can operate by faith without the word of God.

[14:04] Alright. So, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Number two. Faith is of the spirit. It takes the Holy Ghost. It takes the Holy Ghost to have genuine faith.

[14:16] Bible says that we also have the same spirit of faith. In the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 4 verse 13. We have the same spirit of faith. We have the spirit of faith.

[14:27] So, faith is spiritual. Faith is a spiritual transaction. It's not just ideological approach to life. Faith is a spiritual transaction. Spiritual means.

[14:38] So, he says that since we have the same spirit of faith. So, faith is spiritual of the Holy Spirit. Now, number three. Foundation of faith. So, number one is the word of God.

[14:50] Number two. If it's spiritual, then it must be of the Holy Spirit. Number two is the Holy Spirit. Number three is revelation. Galatians 2.2. I went up by revelation. You go.

[15:01] You have a change of story by revelation. That's why when the word of God is being taught. Watch this. It is not just ideas being propounded. Sometimes somebody will hear what we are teaching. And you say load of rubbish.

[15:12] It's up to them. The same thing that is load of rubbish. It means for salvation. It means for power. It means of destiny for somebody. Most of us on this platform. On the Zoom right now.

[15:22] You have a credible, tangible, provable, undeniable evidence of change of story. Some of us, your life was headed in one direction until you hear the kind of message that is being preached.

[15:36] This kind of message. Pure preaching of God's word has changed you. And today, you are bona fide child of God, heaven bound. Bona fide child of God. Praying in tongues. Praying to God.

[15:48] Reading your Bible. Preaching the gospel. Serving in church. Come on, you. There's a lady. I remember when we went to Reading to go and inaugurate the Reading Church. She was with her friend.

[15:59] And you can tell this one. These are wild, wild type of personalities. When they came, I said, the ladies at the back, come forward, come, you come.

[16:10] I get them from the camp. And in fact, when they came, later I felt, I think I've made a mistake. Because what they were wearing is not them. But what they were wearing was so powerful.

[16:21] It distracted too many people. Because what? What? Hey! They were not interested. They were not interested. But guess what? They gave their life to Christ on that day. And as I speak, they are doing powerfully in church.

[16:35] For evangelists. In fact, ready to go and start other branches and other expresses. Yes. This is what God can do. The gospel changes life. The gospel changes life. It says that the gospel we preach is foolishness to those who are perishing.

[16:48] But to those of us who believe. 1 Corinthians chapter 1. It is the verse from verse 18. Those of us who believe. It is the power of God unto salvation. To the Greeks is foolishness.

[17:00] To the Jews is tabling God. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. But to us who are being saved. It is the power. The same message. The same message.

[17:12] The same message. So it is the. Watch this. This is very important. The revelation. The insight God grants you by his Holy Spirit. Into the message. Every message is like.

[17:22] Comes covered. It comes covered. You have to break the shell. And I said. The shell is just what your mind is hearing. But there's another. The core of the message is within the shell.

[17:33] And it takes the spirit of God to grant you revelation into the message. And suddenly you say. Wow. I never have been saw it like this. I've heard it over and over. Today.

[17:44] It's like. The light bulb has come on for me. Wow. That's what is called revelation. And now. It takes revelation to be able to work by faith. So when we say. Faith comes by hearing. And hearing of God's word.

[17:55] Not just the word that information. It's the revelation in the word. So hearing and hearing. You heard it. But you also heard it. You heard it. Hearing and hearing. It's the second hearing.

[18:05] The inner hearing. That brings faith. And so. Faith. The platform. The foundation of faith. Is the word. The Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit. Is the instrumental cause. For insight.

[18:16] And the revelation into the word of God. Without this. You can't operate by faith. Now. Now. How do you walk by faith? Pastor. People. You are saying that it takes faith. Now. How by faith. Quickly. Let me give you.

[18:27] Five points of rating. How to walk by faith. You want to walk by faith. Number one. You have to be spiritual. Number one. You have to be spiritual. Bible says. Carnal mindedness.

[18:37] Is enmity. Against God. Romans chapter 8. From 6. 7. 8. Very serious. Serious. Words there. He who is kind of. Verse 7.

[18:48] It says that. Because. Carnal. The carnal mind. Is enmity. Against God. How can you operate. In the realm. Of enmity. Against God. And still be in faith. You can't. Because faith.

[18:58] Is standing on God's word. Trusting him. Based on his word. And you can't be an enemy. And still be trusting him. So. Carnal minded. Some. You can be in church. And still carnal. What does it mean. To be carnal minded.

[19:09] You think outside. The word of God. Your mindset. Is just regular. Like any other person. Is void. Of God's life. Is void. Of God's principle.

[19:20] Is void. So. There. Maybe. When it comes to. Your finances. You are. Very. Let's say. Your mindset. Is healthy. But when it comes to your marriage. Your mindset.

[19:30] Is not healthy. Okay. So. When I say. Not healthy. It's not spiritual. So. Sometimes. You can. Somebody. Somebody. Might be spiritual. In soul winning. But very. Carnal. When it comes to food.

[19:42] Sharing food. With family members. And very. Carnal. Some people. Can be spiritual. When it comes to praise. And worship. And singing. Oh. I love you God. But very. Carnal.

[19:53] When it comes to offenses. When they are offended. Very. Carnal. That's when you realize. There's something inside them. They don't care. I will just behave. So. And sometimes. You have not even behaved. But your mind. Your mind is so.

[20:03] Carnal. Some people. Are very spiritual. When it comes to prayer. But very. Carnal. When it comes to. Romance. When it comes to romance.

[20:16] You are so. Carnal. You are. You are dating. Or you are courting for marriage. And your conversation. And your behavior. And the things you are doing. In your courtship. What?

[20:27] No wonder. No one can see you do that. What? A believer. You are not yet married. And this guy. Sometimes. When we stop. If we stumble across. Some of the text messages. You have been sharing.

[20:38] Receiving and sending. It is. It is. I mean. It is. My. Hey. Is this message you sent. The way you speak in tongues loud. The way you scream. So. So you are spiritual.

[20:48] When it comes to speaking in tongues. But very. Carnal. When it comes to doing. Home chores. You are fighting with your mother. Fighting with your father. Home chores. You are fighting with your wife. Fighting with your husband.

[20:59] You have health. How can a man be so spiritual. When it comes to praise and worship. You are dancing. And dancing. Like Michael Jackson. And then. When you are home. How can you. You have held your wife. Stress.

[21:09] He said. If you misbehave. I will push you. I will slap you. You are so carnal. And disgraceful. And you cannot pray by faith. So. If to operate by faith. You must watch against carnality. Carnality means.

[21:20] Watch against sin. Fleshly behavior. Contamination of the flesh. Contamination of the flesh. Oh. I'm sorry. Of your spirit. Contamination of your spirit.

[21:31] Contamination of your. Of your walk with God. Through lack of consecration. You have not dedicated yourself. To God. It's not. You cannot pray in faith. Watching everything. Watching everything online.

[21:43] And on TV. Watching all kinds of things. Downloading pollution. Into your system. Watching. Listening to all kinds of music. And some of the music. To be honest. Is junk. Listening to.

[21:54] Polluting yourself. Is carnal approach to life. You cannot pray by faith. Boy. You cannot pray by faith. And believe God. I'm getting a better job. I'm getting that contract. Meanwhile. When you are filling the.

[22:05] Form for the contract. Full of lies. Lies. And dodgy. Dodgy. Dodgy deals. Shady. Shady. Shady deals. And yet. You are believing God.

[22:16] That God. I am in faith. No. You are carnal. So we have to watch out. Against carnality. Which is opposite spirituality. So you want to walk by faith. This is how you walk by faith. Start being spiritual.

[22:27] Number two. If you want to walk by faith. You have to expose yourself. To the word. Word exposure. The word of God. Being taught. You have to read your Bible. You have to expose yourself.

[22:38] The word being taught. You are in a service. Where the word is being taught. You expose yourself. Listen to messages. Nowadays. In our times. When I go. My early days.

[22:49] Of being born again. Until just about. 10 years old. 10 years might even be more. 5 years ago. 6 years ago. There are certain messages. If you want to listen. You have to buy.

[23:00] You have to buy. You go to the book shop. And normally. You watch the TV. And the TV evangelist. Or preacher. Who says that. They will preach a short. Vertu of it. And they said. To watch the whole thing.

[23:54] You just go on YouTube. And download it. Or play it. You play it on YouTube. You keep playing. And playing. And playing. And the podcasting. A podcast. Play it on podcast.

[24:05] Play it on. All the other. Social media. Mediums. So now. You are no. You are without excuse. You can't say. I don't have access to the word of God.

[24:16] Because after tonight. This message is still going to be on YouTube. Permanently. It's there. You can log on and listen. So you can't say. And you have to keep listening. No ones. Keep listening. Listening. Word exposure will determine the faith you walk in.

[24:28] Can I say that again brothers and sisters? Bro. Let me use this camera. Word exposure. Word exposure. Word exposure. Will determine the faith you walk in. Word exposure. Will determine the quality of your faith.

[24:41] You have to get yourself exposed to the word. Faith comes by hearing. By hearing of the word. Hearing. Got to keep hearing. What is this saying? What the preacher said. I need to understand it.

[24:52] Go back to the message. Listen to it. Replace it. Pause it. Play it. Rewind it. Pause. Play. Rewind. Think. Hearing. Hearing. Hearing. Hearing. Hearing.

[25:03] Spiritualia. Spiritualite. Examina. To. The word of God can only be understood. By people who. A person whose spirit is open to God with reverence. Spiritualia.

[25:15] Spiritualite. Examina. To. You got to open your spirit to God's word. And I see visitation coming to somebody in Jesus name. Somebody who believes. Shout. Amen. Amen.

[25:27] Hallelujah. Now. Quickly. So. Number one. Number one. Spirituality. Number two. Word exposure. Number three. Confession. Confession. What are you saying bro?

[25:38] What are you saying bro? What are you confessing? You can pray one two and speak something differently. You can say God I believe you. By the next moment you are saying something very opposite and different from what you say you believe God for.

[25:53] That's not faith. You can walk faith like that. Yeah. You can walk by faith like that. Second Corinthians chapter five by seven. Except for we walk by faith and not by sight. We walk by faith and not by sight.

[26:05] So you have to walk by faith. And how do you walk by faith? That's what I'm telling you. This is how to walk by faith. Number one. You have to be spiritual. Because it takes the spiritual man to be able to assess the things of God.

[26:16] Number two. You have to have word exposure. The word of God must constantly coming in. Number three. You have to confess. Speak the word. Speak the word.

[26:26] Speak the word. Speak the word. Speak the word. As you speak the word. God will also be doing the word for you. As you speak the word. God will also be doing the word for you. Confess the word.

[26:37] He says that what says it. The word. Romans chapter 10. He said what says it. The word is near you. The word. That's the word of faith. Which we preach. It is near you. Even in your mouth. That if you shall say.

[26:48] With your. If you have belief in your heart. And say. Did you see that? That is. If you confess with your mouth. The Lord Jesus. And believe with your. In your heart. That God raised him from the dead.

[27:00] You shall be saved. Did you see that? So you have to open your mouth and speak. You have to open your mouth. I quoted. First. Second. Second Corinthians chapter 4 verse 13. Said.

[27:10] We also have the same spirit of faith. Watch this. We also have same spirit. So as according. As it's according to what is written. I believe. Therefore. What I. Book. We also believe.

[27:21] Therefore. Speak. If you believe. It must show in your confession. Faith comes by hearing. As I keep saying. Faith comes by hearing. But faith works. By speaking.

[27:32] Faith comes by hearing. And faith works. By speaking. Can I advise somebody? Don't change your confession. Let me get a close shot. Don't change your confession.

[27:44] Don't change your confession. Confess the word. Keep confessing the word. Keep confessing the word. Keep confessing. In spite of what you keep seeing. In spite of what you keep hearing on the news.

[27:55] What the doctors are saying. If they put you on medication. Go through the medication. Go through the process. But don't stop confessing the word. Keep confessing the word. Keep confessing.

[28:06] The lady who shared the testimony. She said. I said. Why don't I exercise my faith? I heard somebody's testimony. So she called the husband. And said. Let's pray. Or let's believe it. Or she rather. Exercise her faith.

[28:17] And she said. No. I'm receiving it. I'm receiving it. I'm receiving. You have to learn. The woman with the issue of blood. Mark chapter 5. Bible said. She said. Within herself. You must learn.

[28:27] How to confess the word. Confess the word. Which is. The Greek word is. Homologia. Speak the word. Brother. Don't change your confession. Your confession is bringing the manifestation.

[28:40] In Jesus name. Amen. Now let's go to. The next point quickly. Point number four. Is faith steps. After you confess the word. Start acting the word. Act the word.

[28:52] It's called faith steps. Obey God. What is God telling you to do? Why are you afraid? Go ahead and do it. Go ahead and do it. Bible says by faith. When Noah was asked. To move.

[29:03] Build and act. He obeyed. Hebrews chapter 11. Verse 7. He obeyed. By faith. When Abraham was asked. Verse 8. When Abraham was asked to move. He obeyed. Abraham obeyed.

[29:14] When he was called. To leave the place. And he went out. By faith. Verse. Verse 11. Says. By faith. Sarah herself. Received strength. To conceive.

[29:25] Because she jacked God faithful. Who has promised. So faith. Has. You. You have to be in a state. And take some steps. By faith. They passed through the Red Sea. In verse 30. By faith.

[29:37] Moses. Was not afraid of the king's wrath. He wasn't afraid. He took the step. He forsook Egypt. And wanted to be identified. With the people of God. By faith. Verse 20 and 21.

[29:48] By faith. Jacob blessed. Isaac blessed. They did all this thing by faith. Verse 17. By faith. Abraham offered. He offered. Oh. You can see. It's all Abraham. By faith. Abraham when he was.

[29:59] When he was. He offered up Isaac. So faith makes you offer. Faith makes you obey. Faith makes you move. Faith makes you go through the rest. Faith makes you perish.

[30:10] The Bible says that. What more shall we say. In verse 32. Who do the. By faith. Ty will not permit to take. Barak and all that. Verse 40.

[30:21] In verse 33. Who by faith. Look at what they did. By faith they subdued kingdom. They worked righteousness. Obtained promises. Stop the mouthful of life. Quench the violence of fire.

[30:32] And stab the edge of salt. Out of weakness were made strong. Be vain. Faith makes you do. Listen. The faith that doesn't make you do. Is fake. Is not faith. The faith that doesn't make.

[30:43] So if you say you have faith. According to James chapter 2. Verse 17. Faith without works is dead. Verse 22. Faith without works is dead. If you have faith. Show it by your works. It's your works.

[30:53] That shows that you have faith. But. Do you. Do you see that faith. That faith was working together with works. And by faith. So by works.

[31:04] Faith was made perfect. Faith is not perfect with our works. So now as you are hearing the preaching. Your faith is rising. But we will know whether it is faith. After you have taken the step. When you read the Bible very carefully.

[31:15] The Bible says. In Mark chapter 2. Verse 5. When Jesus saw their faith. In Luke chapter 5. Verse 20. When Jesus saw their faith. He saw faith. Faith was an action. When Jesus saw their faith.

[31:27] When Jesus saw their faith. When Jesus saw their faith. When Jesus saw their faith. Faith is what delivered. In Mark chapter 5. Verse 34. Jesus said to the woman. Your faith has made you whole.

[31:39] Daughter. Your faith has. It's your faith that has made you whole. It's their faith. In Mark. Chapter 10. Verse 52. Jesus said to blind Bartimaeus. That go your way.

[31:50] Your faith has made you. It wasn't just my power. My power is there. But I took your faith. You did something. And that action you took. Is what has brought you the testimony. Your faith does the job for you.

[32:01] Jesus told the woman. As I taught yesterday. In Matthew chapter 15. Verse 28. Jesus said. What? I've never seen faith like this. Oh woman. Great is your faith. Woman. Great is your faith.

[32:12] Be it unto you. As you have desired. And the daughter was healed instantly. This great. Faith was making things happen. In Matthew chapter 10. Sorry. Chapter 8. Verse 10. Jesus marveled.

[32:23] Jesus was surprised at somebody's faith. Bible said. Jesus marveled. And he said. Surely I said. I've never found faith so great in Israel. What? Jesus was.

[32:33] Wow. Tonight. Your faith step from tonight. Is going to make people. The preacher. The teacher. Even heaven say. Wow. Wow.

[32:46] And then. In the verse 13. Matthew chapter 8. Verse 13. Jesus said. As you have believed. So be it for you. The way you are believing. Has determined what you are getting. Amen. Go your way. And as you have believed.

[32:56] So let it be unto you. You are believing. Mom. You are believing. You are believing. Do you believe. Some people came to Jesus. They wanted healing. Blind but. Two blind men.

[33:07] In Matthew chapter 9. Verse 28. Jesus. When they came to the house. Jesus said. Do you believe that. I am able to do this. And they said. Yes Lord. Do you believe that. I am able to do this. Jesus said to them.

[33:18] Do you believe. Believe it will change everything. They said. Yes Lord. Then he said. Touch their eyes. And say. Okay. If you believe. According to your faith. Let you. See your faith. Is to tell me what you are getting. Is your faith.

[33:29] Is not a pastor's power. Is not his raw power. Is your faith in God. Your faith in the word of God. In Jesus name. And so faith is an action. You have to start taking actions. You have to start taking God.

[33:39] Cut ties from that boyfriend. So God can give you your marriage. Can give you a husband. Cut ties from that girlfriend. That girlfriend. That you know. I am not talking about somebody is bad.

[33:50] That you know. You know in your heart. This relationship you are not supposed to be. Is a toxic relationship. Is a pollute. Is a point in your life. Cut off. And dedicate yourself to God.

[34:00] Trust him. And see if he will not deliver for you. Step a step of faith. Obey God. Obey God. Commit to doing his work. Commit to doing more in his church. Commit yourself. Get yourself.

[34:11] Help yourself. Find something. What can I do more for your house? Like David said. What can I do to build God's house? Get yourself committed. Get yourself connected. Just in case you are. Serving in a church.

[34:22] And you will be collecting money for your service. Especially. If you are into. Instrumentation or something. And just for the service. You play just for a service. And you are charging charging. Believe God that he will give you. Better.

[34:33] Source of. Because now that there is lockdown. You might not be able to be roaming around. Like an ambassador. And be collecting money. You will be hungry. And you will die. And pastors won't give you. Because they know you are charging them.

[34:44] You are a highland. You are not a son of the house. You better be a son of a house. And be a genuine Christian. Settled servant. I'm telling you. Settle down and serve. Settle down. And stop this roaming about.

[34:55] Stop this roaming about. It doesn't get you anywhere. It doesn't. It actually undermines your opportunities in God. I know. I'm talking to somebody. By faith. Receive it in Jesus' mighty name.

[35:06] So. Faith steps. Okay. So. Take faith steps. Number one. Spirituality. Number two. Word exposure. Number three. Confession. Number four. Step. Faith steps. Faith steps.

[35:17] And then number five. Last one. Love for God. You have to love God. And you are trying to twist God's hand for your own purpose. But Bible says. All things work together for good.

[35:28] To those that love the Lord first. And according to his purpose. It's your love. That will make you flow in God's purpose. Galatians chapter five and six. It said. Faith worketh by love. Faith. For your faith to work.

[35:39] It will take love. Faith worketh by love. Faith works by love. So. You need the love. Do you love God? What investment do you have in his work? What dedication have you put into his work?

[35:51] Then it is. These are the things. When you love God. You. You. You take steps. To his glory. Without realizing that. You are doing so much. Sometimes. People do a little. They feel they've done so much.

[36:02] Others are doing hundred times more. Than you are doing. And you think you have done so much. Heaven must stop and cry for you. Come on. When you love God. You don't even see what you. The love of Christ makes you do things.

[36:13] And that is. It makes walking by faith easy. Do you love God? Or you just want to twist God's hand. For your personal gain. Love God. Do you love God? Affection for the house of God.

[36:24] I'm ready. Me. I'm ready to sacrifice. Anything. For his work. For his work to go on. Ready to sacrifice. Walk by faith. Take steps of faith. Love him. In the name of Jesus.
