6/2/2013 UNSHAKABLE
FAITH

Hebrews 11:1-6….. Now faith is confidence
in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This
is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand
that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not
made out of what was visible………..

This is a
message of encouragement; everyone is supposed to have faith in God. Our God is
a faithful God, He is a great God; He speaks and it comes to pass; when God says
Yes; nobody can say No. whatsoever God has ordained in your life, no matter
what it takes, you are going to get it in Jesus 
name….. When we build our life in faith and in God; all the adversaries
of our lives, will bow down to us. God has made us to understand that there is
nothing that He cannot do. Everyone who wants to move with God must move with
faith; everyone that comes to God must believe that He is the only God that can
make things happen. When we mix our faith with the will of the gentiles, God
withdraws. God will never bring Himself down and lower His standard because of
us. No matter what you have offered to God, when God say’s “sin is sin”; sin
remains sin. No matter what we offered to God, every error is error in God’s
sight. Many times we question ourselves about why God is not doing things for
us. God is speaking to every one of us, the reason it is not happening is
because we do not have faith in Him.  The
word of God made us understand in Matthew 11:12…..And from the days of John the
Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take
it by force. By force; means that you are to have faith in God; faith that when
people say “it is over”; you tell them that it is not over, God has just
started. It is only God that has the final say; people can say it is over for
you; but God says it is not over for you. People can say you are destroyed; but
God says you are still standing; God says you are well, strong, and agile. Faith
is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen. It means
that you are thinking of something and you believe that it is already done; it
means that you are hoping for something and God has already given it to you;
and you have seen it in the spiritual realm. When people ask you; where is it? Tell
them; I walk by faith not by sight; God has done it.

God wants
you to have faith. We are going to the next level; everything will change in
your life for better. Things will change for better, what you are waiting for
will come into your hands; and wonders of the Lord will come into your hands. When
the children of Israel were in trouble, God needed someone to deliver them; one
person to say Yes.  When the Lord called
Moses, he said “Yes”; and because he said Yes, the children of Israel were
delivered from captivity. God spoke to your apostle to say yes and he said “Yes”;
because he said “Yes” you are moving to the next level. Everyone standing here;
everyone hearing this preaching I prophecy next level; in the name of Jesus……  You are going to the next level; you are
moving to the next level; old things have passed away; all things have become new;
new in your life; in the name of Jesus….. What is taking us to the next level
is faith; Habakkuk 2:4…. “Behold
the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall
live by his faith.  The bible
said; “the just shall live by his own faith.” Romans 1:17… For in it the
righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith. Hebrews 10:37-38….
“For yet a little while, And He
who is coming will come and will not tarry. 38 Now the
just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has
no pleasure in him.”  The just shall live
by faith; you are the just; what can take you there is faith. We can means
faith; it means that we can move mountains Psalm 65: 2….. O You who hear prayer, To You all
flesh will come. God hears prayers; I am standing in the authority of God; to
pronounce favor in your life that will take you to the next level. I am
speaking that this is your day; this is your time of blessing; this is your
time of glory; your time of prosperity; your time of advancement; your time to
make it and stand strong; this is your time to move to the next level; in the
name of Jesus…… I say this is your day; by faith you are getting it, because we
discovered that by faith, the wall of Jericho fell down flat. Is there any wall
of Jericho in your life? Is there any barricade or barrier? I break it down
today in the name of Jesus… by faith what seems difficult, the Lord will make
it easier for you; the Lord will turn impossibility to possibility for you;
receive it in the name of Jesus….. By faith you can get it; I want to hear “I
am getting there”; by faith you will get there; receive the power of the Lord
in the name of Jesus…..

The God that
we are serving is a God of possibility; He is the God that turns impossibility to
possibility; He is the Lord that turns situations around for us; praise the
name of the Lord with me…… There was a woman they call Hannah, who was the
first wife, but barren; the second wife had children and she provoked her severely,
according to 1 Samuel 1:6….  And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her
miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb. I do not know
who is making your life bitter; one thing I know is that; the Lord turned
bitter water to sweetness, for the children of Israel. Exodus 15:24-25….. And
the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25
So he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.
There He made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there He tested them. This
is making me to understand that whatever is bitter in your life; the Lord will
bring sweetness to it in the name of Jesus…. Hannah had faith in God; 1 Samuel
1: 9-13, 17-18, 20….. So Hannah arose after they had finished eating and
drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost
of the tabernacle[a] of the Lord. 10 And she was in bitterness of
soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept in anguish. 11 Then she made a
vow and said, “O Lord of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of
Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will
give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days
of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.” 12 And it
happened, as she continued praying before the Lord, that Eli watched her mouth.
13 Now Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice
was not heard. Therefore Eli thought she was drunk. 17 Then Eli
answered and said, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your
petition which you have asked of Him. The woman had not yet been
pregnant, but the bible said 18. And she said, “Let your
maidservant find favor in your sight.” So the woman
went her way and ate, and her face was no longer sad” In verse
20…. So it came to pass in the process of time that
Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel,
saying, “Because I have asked for him from the Lord. The Lord visited her as He
had promised; this is God; and after that, the Lord gave her five children.  

To you, you feel that it is over but to God;
it is not over. If we are going to the next level, we must have faith in God;
Abraham in 99 years, his wife was 90 years old, Genesis 17:1….. When Abram was ninety-nine years old,
the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. Genesis 15:6…..
And he
believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness.
 Galatians 3:6-7…… just as Abraham “believed God, and it
was accounted to him for righteousness.”7 Therefore know that only
those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. If you do not have faith how are you
going to get Abrahamic blessing; the woman at 90 years, still believed that she
would bear children. God conquered the devil; by faith, David killed Goliath 1
Samuel 17:16; 32-36; 42-47….. And the Philistine drew near and presented himself forty days, morning
and evening. The man held them at ransom and defiled the army of Israel.  32 Then David
said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and
fight with this Philistine.” 33 And Saul said to
David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for
you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.” 34 But David
said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or
a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 35 I went out after it
and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against
me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. 36 Your
servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will
be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.” He was
going with faith; I want people who have faith; something must happen; power
must change hand for you. 42 And when the
Philistine looked about and saw David, he disdained him; for he
was only a youth, ruddy and good-looking. 43 So the Philistine said
to David, “Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. 44
And the Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to
the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!” 45 Then David
said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a
javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the
armies of Israel, whom you have defied. 46 This day the Lord will deliver you
into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I
will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air
and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a
God in Israel. 47 Then all this assembly
shall know that the Lord does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is
the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.” And the Lord
delivered Goliath into his hands, because he had faith in God; God is looking
onto somebody who will be able to fight all earthly lion; who is going to fight
any power that is fighting you. May I say this to you; whatever you are going
through, by faith, I claim everything that the enemies have stolen from you
today; in the name of Jesus…. Everything that you are going through, may the
Lord see you through in the name of Jesus Christ…… 

You must have faith in
God; 2 Corinthians 5:7…..For we walk by faith, not by sight. You need to understand
the meaning of faith; those who have faith entered into the Promised Land. Numbers
13:30-31…. Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well
able to overcome it.” 31 But the men who had gone up
with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are
stronger than we.”  This is how your
faith should be; you are going through some things, God is able to do it. I want
to let you know, there might be turbulence and storm in your life, one thing I know;
when God is for us, nothing shall go against us. When a man’s way pleases the
Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.  Mark 11:22-23&33….. So Jesus
answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 23 For
assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to
this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his
heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have
whatever he says. Why will it obey you? FAITH! Everyone who
wants to please God must have faith in Him; no matter what you are going
through, just have faith in God; and see what the Lord is going to do. Faith will
give you a new job; a turnaround; I am encouraging you this hour; have faith in
God.

Faith can
make you to heal yourself without consulting your doctor, or your pastor;
because when you have faith in God; He does His wonders. Father we thank you
today because we are moving to the next level. HAVE
FAITH IN GOD

Remain Blessed in the
Lord
