Faith testimonies

..... CHAPTER 5 .....

ACT YOUR FAITH HENCEFORTH
"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your ownselves".

Brethren, faith with action is believing. You prove your faith by your works. Begin to exercise your faith and decree things that are right in the name of Jesus, to the glory of the Lord "that the Father may be glorified in the son." If your request seems ungranted, then check yourself and search the word. It is written "Ye lust and have not; ye kill and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts" (James 4:2-3). Act your faith henceforth, confessing the word of God as it is written in the scriptures. When sin threatens, open your mouth and confess into the air that "sin shall not have dominion over you" and also "let not sin reign in your mortal body". Yea that is the begining of action of faith. Therefore also movement is connected with action. That is, once you confess against sin in the face of temptation, you also must begin to withdraw from the scene of temptation as it is written "Abstain from all appearances of evil" ( 1 Thes.5:22). The word of God uttered out of your mouth is the sword of the spirit to pierce the evil force connected to the episode. (Ephe.6:17). "With the mouth confession is made unto salvation"(Rom.10:10).

When sickness attacks, speak out the word of promise of the Lord against sickness that "If they shall lay hand upon the sick, they shall recover" (Mk.16:17-18),and go ahead to lay your hand upon the sick body and pray with the same verse believing. Yea it shall be so, for it is written: "with His stripes we are healed" (Isa 53:5). Faith is believing the word of God that it shall fulfill its purpose once you fulfill your own part of abiding in Christ: "If ye abide in me, and my word abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done for you" (Jn.15:7).

Trust in the Lord! He is faithful and merciful. When necessity arises for you to pray and decree, fear not to decree what you will; God is loving; only repent from your sins and be washed by the blood of the lamb of God --Jesus Christ. Yea be filled with the Holy Ghost. When sinners attack with spiritual or physical weapons, this same faith of the Lord Jesus Christ can disarm even an a rmed-robber if only you will buy the greater faith gift from Jesus by fasting and prayer. Yea every word of God needful to disarm a juju-man or an armed robber is right there in the bible. But you need to build up your faith so that in such tense atmosphere you will not fear the weapon as you utter by faith and boldness what is written in the scriptures that "NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER, AND EVERY TONGUE THAT SHALL RISE AGAINST THEE IN JUDGEMENT, THOU SHALT CONDEMN. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me" saith the Lord. Many such scriptures you must search out for yourself to use! Be confident that even atomic bomb or cutlass or bullet shall not be able to stand against faith; believe and have confidence in the Lord for He saith "BEHOLD I HAVE CREATED THE SMITH THAT BLOWETH THE COALS IN THE FIRE, AND THAT BRINGETH FORTH AN INSTRUMENT FOR HIS WORK; AND I HAVE CREATED THE WASTER TO DESTROY. NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER"' (Isa.44:16-17). Yea, utter forth such statement before an armed man with your faith expecting that the weapon shall not affect you or even command him to put down the weapon, which ever you choose; lo in the time of necessity it is life or death! God will honor a saint's faith and act at your bidding.

The supernatural power which men of the underworld and occults have been wasting all their life to posess from the wrong direction is right there at your mouth's reach, oh saint of God. I say "mouth's reach" because you will need to fast and pray for faith, you will need to search and utter forth the scriptures as it is written. No wonder Christ saith "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God" (mat.4:4).

Therefore believer, eat of those word of God and live! God bless you. Then shall ye be enrolled as soldier of God and He shall be pleased with you and He shall use you for deliverance of many. Suppose someone being tied to stake for ritual killing by certain occultic groups has been praying to God in a jungle and God delights to deliver such person. Yea, the work which God often use angels from heaven to do, He much more readily wills to use man -- earthen vessels- for the deliverance of men; or know ye not that men shall be substituted to replace the vacant position of fallen angels of satan in heaven? Even now is the age in which God is moving upon believers to aspire to the goal of overcomers that ye may be one of the highest order of saints in the Glory land for such appointment. And lo, God shall find some! Therefore if God leadeth a minister to such jungle to confront those occultic groups, the word of authority usable in such episode along with the faith which you must build inside you, is right there in the scriptures. Search them out and behold "BUY OF ME GOLD TRIED IN THE FIRE THAT YOU MAY BE RICH ...." saith the Lord (Rev.3:18), for "this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting".

Yea, the faith Elisha the prophet used to blindfold the army of Syria in Israel in those days; is it not much more than able to do greater works than the above? (2 Kgs.6:11-23). Therefore believe with all of your heart for our God is the Almighty; and covet earnestly the best gifts of the Holy Ghost - FAITH!

Remember also, believer, with the little you have, at present "ACT YOUR FAITH AND BELIEVE". FAITH OH FAITH! GOD LOVES IT! MEN DIED FOR IT! AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU.
