FAITH without Works!



The Bible tells us that true faith is evidenced by works.(James 2:20) What are works?

"Works" when you study it out, translates to the "deed" or "act" of doing, in other words, it's actually doing something or taking action! True faith is ACTIVE!

It's taking God's Word and acting on it. Faith that is active, is faith that goes beyond just the "mental assent" of saying I believe and have faith.

True faith is a "heart felt" belief that propels you, thrusts you...forward into action.

Think about it, when you really believe in your heart, you act on what you believe. You do something with what you say you believe.

The Bible says, "faith without works is dead"...meaning faith apart from works (action) is inactive and ineffective. The Word says, it's actually "worthless". (James 2:20 amp)

 James goes on to say, that a man says they have faith but have no works, He says..."I' will show you my faith, by my works." (James 2:17-18) That's powerful!

You've heard the saying, "actions speak louder than words", there's truth to that.

Let us be people of faith, evidenced by works! Let us stand on God's Word and take ACTION!

Heaven on Earth

God did not create us to be ordinary people, WE ARE EXTRAORDINARY Beings! We are Ambassadors of Christ, having the POWER within to manifest Heaven on earth... Matthew 6:10 says, "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven". The Kingdom of God is in You. (Luke 17:21) Let what's inside of YOU -- OUT!

Where is Your Vision?

Image
From the very beginning, we see where God would lead and guide Biblical leaders by VISION. We see where God would reveal purpose, destiny, His plan by giving them the ability to  SEE beyond, what they could SEE in the natural, at that very moment. In Genesis Chapter 15, verse 5, God took Abram outside and said to him, "Look up at the sky and count the stars...if you are able to count them."   God said to him, that's how many descendants you will have! In other words, so many Abram that you can not even count them... Abram do you see it? The Bible says in verse 6, "Abram believed the Lord".  Abram believed God, to where although in his current situation, he did not have one seed , one child of his own [yet], and God told him he would be a father of many nations...and so many descendants, he would not be able to even count them -- Abram STILL BELIEVED GOD! Why? Because Abram could SEE, He had VISION beyond HIS CURRENT circumstance and situation, en...

God said it, That Settles it!

I am convinced that if  God said it, then that settles it! As we grow in our relationship with God, coming into the knowledge and understanding of His Word , we come to better understand God's will for our lives, as He states in  His Word. The Bible tells us that God "watches over His Word to perform it" (Jeremiah 1:12) His Word does not return unto Him void, but His Word does what He said it will do!   (Isaiah 55:11)   What God has spoken, it will be fulfilled. So what is God's will for us, according to His Word...He said that Jesus has come so that you have life (John 10:10) , not just barely live day-to-day or just barely get by in life, but to live life  to the full, to the overflow.  In 3 John 2, God's Word says, "Beloved I wish above ALL things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers."  God's will according to His Word, is that we rule and reign in life through Jesus Christ. That we prosper and flourish...
