Thanks for checking out the Anchor Faith Message podcast
from St. Augustine, FL.
Now enjoy this message. We've been on a journey.
These last few Wednesday nights talking about faith.
Amen. And ministering along the lines
of faith and really going back to looking at what true biblical
faith is, what Bible faith is, Amen.
Not what you know, churches have determined.
Faith is not what people have decided now, today what faith
is, but what is true biblical faith and how to walk in it.
Because he tells us that we are to walk by faith.
The just will what live by faith.
We're to walk by faith. Faith is not just something that
we can say that we have. Yeah, I believe God.
I believe in Jesus Christ. I have faith that there is a God
out there. But a lot of Christians have
only encompassed that with their faith, right?
But he says that we are as believers to walk by faith, to
live by faith. And so therefore, there are
things that we can see about faith that we are going to have
to do, you know, in order to walk by faith.
Because I'm seeing a generation still, even though we have tons
of faith conferences today, I see more people that have faith
in their run and faith in their shout, then faith in the Word of
God. Because faith cannot come
outside of what the Word. Faith comes from hearing and
hearing from the Word of God, but not just hearing the Word.
What did we say? We have to receive the Word, we
have to believe the Word, we have to speak the Word, and we
have to act on the Word. And we do that in alignment to
whatever he says the Word says concerning the situation that we
may be encountering. Amen.
And this is how we live by faith and we walk by faith.
Coming to church is not living by faith.
It's not because I know plenty of people that come to church
and do not live by faith. OK, so there's something besides
just having faith. There is the applying of faith
in our every single day life. And that's what he tells us we
are to live by. And that is true biblical faith,
right? Because we we saw this, that
faith we saw out of Hebrews 11 right?
Faith was what the substance of things hoped for, or the
conviction and evidence of things not seen.
If you break that out for by it the men of old gained approval
by faith, we understand that the world's were prepared by the
what the Word of God. So This is why I'm saying I see
more people today having faith in the fact that they ran or
faith in the fact that they shouted then more than faith in
the fact of the Word of God and what the word said about their
situation. And so we have to be assured
here that if we are going to live by faith, we have to know
be a firm. Faith is a what?
Firm persuasion based upon what you believe, what you accept is
truth, what you adhere to, what you allow to govern, what you
think, say and do. So this is what true biblical
faith is. Are we allowing the Word of God,
which is what we're building our faith upon?
Faith is the substance and we talked about that word.
Substance means to build upon. It is a sure foundation and the
word is what is going to give us faith.
We talked about the fact that we once we got born again, what
happened? The seed of faith got deposited
within our hearts, and it says out of Romans that we've all
been given the measure of faith. We've all been given a measure
of faith, and with that measure, it's up to us what is going to
produce. How much faith will be produced
within my life according to what I allow myself to believe?
What do I allow myself to believe in His word?
Because you know what? I know people that believe in
the fact that they should prosper, but yet they don't
believe that it's His will to heal him.
So again, faith and the measure of faith that you've been given,
it's always going to be up to you and what it produces in your
life. It's going to be up to you.
And we talked about the seed of the word that gets planted and
it's expected to produce what, some 3060 and a hundredfold.
So what are you producing in your life, right, According to
your faith? Is it some 30 that's only being
produced? Is it 60?
Is it 100? I'm in it for all.
I'm in it to win it, right? We want the jackpot.
We want it all. And so in order to do that, we
have to recognize that the only way that we are going to be able
to continue, because he says, listen, we are supposed to
continue in faith, right? And I don't have time to review
everything, but we said this, that faith is the currency of
the Kingdom, Faith is the exchange, and faith can be
spent. That's why faith comes from
hearing and hearing and hearing. Not faith on what you've heard,
but faith in the hearing. Because faith can be spent, just
like your currency can be spent. It can be spent.
So that's why we have to be people that are continually in
the word, hearing the word, hearing the word, hearing the
word, hearing the word so that we can then begin to act upon
it. And once we spend our faith in a
situation or circumstance, guess what I need?
I need that faith to continue to be exchanged and re, right?
I need another flow, another flow of currency for whatever it
is that I will be entering into. Amen.
Whatever other circumstance or situation I may be going into, I
need to be constantly building myself up on the Word of God, in
the Word of God so that we can be assured that our faith will
never run dry. Never run dry because remember
he says in Timothy when he returns, will he find what in
the earth? Faith in the earth?
He also says in Timothy that many in the last days are going
to what? Fall away from the faith.
Hebrews talks about shrinking back from faith.
So we have to recognize that just because you say you have
faith doesn't necessarily mean you are in faith.
True biblical faith. Hallelujah.
We're to walk by it. That means we're going to step
out into the water and guess what's going to be holding us
up? The Word.
Our faith that was built upon the Word of God.
That's what's going to sustain us.
We're going to walk into the fire like Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego and not get burned because I see the 4th man in the
fire with me. But come on.
But no. And we've said this, that today
believers don't want to walk through the fire and they don't
want to walk through the water. They want the easy, easy life,
right? They want to walk on rose
petals. Well, true biblical faith.
Nowhere in scripture will you see in Hebrews.
We read whole book of Hebrews chapter. 11 The hall of faith,
not one of them people that was mentioned in Hebrews 11 had a
path of rose petals and easy can't you?
And actually you can't read it anywhere in Scripture that
people of faith, people that believe God in the book of Acts
all through the Old Testament walked on rose petals and that
it was easy. No, a life of faith is you
stepping into on His Word in difficult situations and
difficult circumstances, applying your faith to what the
Word says about it and walking through it.
That's what true biblical faith is for, Amen.
It's not just believing God for a big house and a big boat and a
yacht and an airplane and all of these things.
Listen, it is for you to learn how to navigate your life by
faith so that when you encounter trials.
Circumstances, situations, you're going to be able to do it
by faith and overcome and get the victory every single time,
Hallelujah, every single time. But it takes us stepping out and
on the word of God no matter what, because we said in Second
Corinthians, for we are to walk by faith and not by sight.
We are to walk by faith and not by sight.
We talked about Father Abraham, Amen, that he was the father of
us all. And we talked about the unseen
principle that faith is unseen. You don't know how God is going
to provide. You cannot see it in the natural
Hallelujah. But if you are in.
Covenant with Him and you are a tither.
Come on. And you are a sower, and you are
doing what the word of God says. Come on, you can be assured that
my God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in
glory. So that's what I stand upon when
I see a situation arise financially or whatever the case
may be. Amen.
But I have to know what the word says and what do we say?
We have to be firmly persuaded in what the word says in
whatever situation we're going. Through.
Amen. Firmly persuaded, firmly
persuaded. And we're going to look at what
firmly persuaded looks like after.
We go through a few things here is that, you know, to be firmly
persuaded means that there's no wavering, there's no doubting
God, there's no questioning, there is no Plan B, there is no
backup. Amen.
It is fully dependent and reliant upon what God has said,
His promises, Amen, That he is faithful to Hallelujah.
This is true biblical faith, Amen.
And it's going to get us out into places that will make us be
those that have to determine within our heart, are we going
to believe what God says or are we going to shrink back from
what He has sold us in his word? Mark 1122 and 24.
Let's read that it says, and Jesus answered, saying to them,
Have faith in God, have faith in God, have a firm persuasion, be
firmly persuaded in God and what he has said.
Hallelujah. Be firmly persuaded in what he
has said. Have faith in God, but you can
also literally translate that. Have the God kind of faith.
So he's letting us know that we can have his faith.
And if he says that we can have his faith, then guess what?
We can have it. We can walk in it.
We can be people that actually believe him at his word and walk
through the fire, come on and walk on water, whatever is going
on. We can be the people that he
says that we can be Hallelujah. And we said this, that faith,
Hallelujah is not for weak people.
It's not. It's not for the weak, it's not
for the faint of heart. It's not for those that really
are casual Christians. True biblical faith is not for
the casual Christian. No, you're going to have to be a
Christian that's all in to truly walk in biblical faith.
Amen. Hallelujah.
You're going to have to be all in.
So he says truly, I say to you, whoever speaks says to this
mountain, be taken up and cast into the sea.
Listen to this and does not doubt in his heart.
He gives us the answers to having the God kind of faith and
being able to speak to whatever thing is going on in our life.
That mountain is that circumstance.
That mountain is that situation. That mountain may be that
stronghold. That mountain may be something
that's been built up to a point that it feels like it is higher
than him, right? But he lets us know here that we
must be people that do not doubt in our heart because doubt is
the opposite of faith. It's the opposite of faith.
When you doubt, it is opposite of true biblical faith.
And He lets us know, listen, we cannot doubt in our heart, but
believe, say, believe that what He says is going to happen and
it will be granted to Him. Therefore I say to you all
things which you pray and ask, believe that you have received
them and they will be granted to you.
We must not have any doubt in our heart, and we must be people
of faith or belief. We said faith and belief could
be interchanged. Wherever you see faith in the
Bible, you could put believe be interchanged.
And so we have to be people that truly believe what he said in
his word, be firmly persuaded and not have any doubt in our in
our hearts if we are going to be people that walk by faith.
Amen. Hallelujah.
Now this is what we got into last week and we did not get to
finish. And I want to talk about this.
I want to look at in the Scripture because we said
nowhere in Hebrews 11, nowhere in Scripture can you find that
when God asked his apostles, when God asked all the men of
old in the Old Testament to do something in the earth, was it
easy? It was never easy and so.
We have to look then at the true biblical characteristics is what
I want to call it, the characteristics of true biblical
faith. Again, it is not for the weak.
It is not for the faint hearted. It is not for the casual
Christian. We will not walk.
According to what Scripture says that faith looks like, if we are
in any of those positions, if we're weak, if we're casual, if
we're just floating along and saying God's in control and
whatever will be will be, it's not going to work for you.
You see what I'm saying? So these, because again, we've
already read James, we've already went through all the
Scriptures that we see that faith without works is dead.
Faith without works is dead. So faith has to be released.
Faith has to be acted upon if we're going to receive all God's
promises within our life. It must be acted upon.
And it is not for the weak, it's not for the casual, it's not for
the Christian. Listen, that only comes to
church when they're in hot water.
You know what? You wouldn't be in hot water if
you actually learned how to walk in true biblical faith.
For the ones that just show up when they're having a problem,
you know, something's happened. They lost their job.
Oh, and all of a sudden you see them in church again.
I got to believe God for a job. Well, you may not have lost it
and lost it if you would have been walking in faith and
actually coming to church and doing all the things necessary.
Amen. You see when or your marriage is
falling apart because you want to be in here, you know, once
1/4 and then you only show up when you need something from God
and that is an idol. Exactly what she talked about.
The things of God become an idol to you when you're not really in
it because you want to know him. Yeah, Christianity has turned
him into an idol and all his promises in an idol.
Oh, they want to come to, they want to jump and they want to
shout to believe God for that jet and believe God for that
car. But other than that, they don't
use their faith to actually walk every day.
So what does these things become, really?
The promises have become an idol to their life because that's the
only reason why they're coming to church.
Because really, they want the things and they don't want God.
They want what God can give to them.
That's an idol, right? Hallelujah.
Think about it, think about it. I know plenty of people that
way. They just want what God can give
to them, but they don't want to be all in for anything else.
Characteristics of true biblical faith.
We we gave, we only got to two I believe last week.
So we talked about true biblical faith is not for the weak
because faith holds fast in difficult situations.
Faith holds fast in different situations.
And we read that out of Hebrews 10.
I'm not going to reread it. Faith #2 endures.
Faith is a characteristic that is enduring.
It endures. It endures through any difficult
situation. We read the scripture last night
or last Wednesday. I'm not going to.
And faith that endures has the capacity to withstand and endure
through anything until they see the result of their faith.
Faith is enduring faith. You have to know that faith
holds fast to its confession. Come on, or to whatever it's
holding on to. We talked about the fact that
just like that bulldog, he grabs.
Hold and he won't let go. You have to literally beat him
off the rope that he's attached to, right?
That's what kind of faith we see in the Bible.
Biblical faith holds fast, and don't let.
Anyone beat you off of what you know and believe in God's word.
But many people are shrinking back today from true biblical
faith. They want the easy Rd.
I'm telling you.
So this faith that we talked about and I don't have time to
read all the scriptures will endure till the end.
Hey, man, now this is where we want to look at the
characteristic of faith here, faith that contends, and this is
found in Jude three and four, and I'm telling you is much
faith teaching that has gone through in several generations.
And yet we still have a church that does not want to walk in
true biblical faith because we're living in a day, in an
hour that nobody wants to be persecuted, nobody wants to have
problems. No one has to have wants to have
any difficulties. But that is not true biblical
faith. It's just not.
And we've made it a fairy tale. We've made it a fairy tale.
And so Jude 3-4 says this, Beloved, while I was making
every effort to write to you about our common salvation, I
felt the necessity to write to you, appealing that you what?
Contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed
down to the Saints. For certain people have crept in
unnoticed, those who were long before marked out for
condemnation ungodly. Persons who have turned the
grace of God, this is the problem.
They've turned the grace of God. And we've heard for the last 15
years, we're under grace. So there's nothing we have to
do. That is not true biblical faith,
period. And you can see, because that
message has come into the church as a whole, in the American
church, we see a bunch of people that have heard faith but are
not wanting to actually live by it.
And so he lets us know, listen, we are going to have to contend
earnestly for this faith if we're going to be those who in
the last days remain in faith for when he returns.
Come on. If we are going to be those who
don't apostasize from the faith in these last days, we have to
have a clear understanding of what true biblical faith looks
like, Amen, what it looks like and to contend earnestly for the
faith that was handed down to the Saints.
And he says this, listen that word contend, it means to
struggle. It's a struggle.
Say the struggle is real. When you are walking in true
biblical faith, the struggle is real.
But guess what's real? Uh, his word, his promise that
is forever settled. Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
So that's what this means to struggle.
It means to literally compete for the prize.
Compete for the prize. Whatever promise is my prize and
I'm going to fight for it. I'm going to contend for it.
I'm going to struggle. And until I receive what I.
Believe in his words, says that belongs to me.
Hallelujah. That's what it literally means
to compete for a prize. It means to contend with an
adversary who is the adversary who does not want you to obtain
to all the promises that God says you can have as a child of
God, the adversary, the devil, Satan, and he says we're going
to have to contend with the adversary.
You know what contending means? It means when I've done all the
stand, I'm going to stand. When I'm done all the stand, I'm
staying in my position of faith. I'm staying in my position of
dominion and authority over the enemy or whatever it is that I'm
going through in the struggle. Come on, I'm going to contend.
I'm going to stay, I'm going to stand.
I'm going to be in my position. That is fixed, firmly persuaded
that my God cannot fail me. He cannot.
That is a person who has built their life upon the substance.
Of faith, which only comes from the Word of God.
From the word of God. We, you know, I just saw a
statistic, actually just this past week.
A statistic that Christians are more, Oh my gosh, more
illiterate of the word of God today than ever before.
Just saw that statistic last week.
How can this be? With all the social media,
little clips of all the scriptures that get posted,
Millions with all the conferences that you could go
to, you could literally go to a conference every single week,
probably four and five times a week in this nation.
You could be conference to conference to.
You could live a life of conference.
You literally could, Literally could with all the conferences
that we have, with all. The Bible apps With all the
resources at our fingertips, Christians are more illiterate
of the Word of God than ever before.
You know what that tells me? They are not reading the word
for themselves. They are consumers.
They are so busy with the things of this world that they have
been choked out. The parable of the solar,
they've been choked out. And we wonder why over 50% of
Christian marriages are being divorced.
We're wondering why good Christian teenagers are falling
into, you know, the, the, the days, the themes, the Christian.
We're wondering why with all the resources at our fingertips as
Christians, because we are not taking this seriously and
reading the word for ourselves. I challenge you, get off social
media. Get off.
Come on your iPads to read the word.
Get off your phones to read the word.
Pick up a good old fashioned Bible.
A big one. A big one.
You have to after 50. Pick you up a big one.
Come on, I'm serious. I mean, that statistic was
ridiculous. We've got to get back to the
word and making this a priority of reading it for ourselves, not
the YouTube clips, not the little scripture of the day.
We are going to have to be people that are what daily
taking up this daily bread every day.
Reading the word for ourselves undistracted so that we can
actually be people that know what the Word says and actually
get it into our families and teach our children, train them
up in the way they should go, Amen.
And actually do the word in our marriages every day.
What the word says, Amen. Do it in our life.
Walk by faith, Amen. Because I'm going to tell you
the world is not going to get any better, but God intended for
us as his church to be able to thrive in the midst of it.
Amen. But we're only going to be able
to do that if we are reading the word Amen.
Because true biblical faith contends it contends Amen.
And look here at First Timothy 612 through 13 when I said that
it's the struggle and it's something that you are contend
for. It means to fight, It means to
fervently strive and to labor. Nobody wants to labor in faith
because faith is rest. It's rest, but it's labor at the
same time, because his labor is easy when you're in faith and
there will be rest. Amen.
So he tells us here in First Timothy 612.
It says fight the good fight of faith.
Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you
made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
So again, faith contends and faith fights.
Faith is not. Passive.
Nowhere in scripture will you see a passive context of faith.
Nowhere. When you look it up In the
Greek, faith is not passive. Faith is always active.
Period. And that's again what we said
last week when we read Second Corinthians to test ourselves,
the Scripture said to see if we were in faith.
He said test ourselves so we can test ourselves and see, is our
faith active? Is it active?
Is it working? Are we standing upon the Word of
God? Because true biblical faith, the
characteristic of it is a fight of faith.
Come on. And it also means this, that you
don't ever forfeit to win a championship.
You, you ain't going to see any of those coaches want to forfeit
the game because they want to go to the ship.
But if you forfeit a game, it may hinder you from going, am I
right? So again, if we want to win and
and walk in the promise that he says that belongs to us.
Then we're going to have to fight.
We're going to have to contend for what belongs to us.
We're going to have to be people of active faith and staying in
our position of authority, right?
And taking hold of it or taking possession of it, Hallelujah.
Taking possession of whatever it is that God says belongs to US
#5 faith stands firm. Faith stands firm.
The characteristic of faith, it stands firm.
What does that mean? It goes, it will persevere, it
will be persistent. It will stand fast and not be
moved. It stands firm.
That's what that means. Let's look at First Corinthians
1613 through 14. Be on alert.
Stand firm in what? The faith.
Be on alert. Stand firm in the faith.
Act like a man and be strong. Act like a man.
Quit being passive. Quit being passive because true
biblical faith. Is not passive we are to act
like a man. Women, we need to spit like a
man. Y'all know what that came from
anyway? Listen, we need to be.
Strong. We need to act like men.
We need to stand firm in our faith in what he says we should
have. Act like a man.
Be strong. Let all that you do be done in
love. So you know what this tells me
that listen, you can be strong and firm and still be in love.
Meaning I'm not going to let this thing move me.
I'm not going to come off of what I know belongs to me.
I love you, but don't be talking that doubt to me.
Don't try to get me off of what God's promise has said to me,
because I'm going to stand. Firm and not be moved.
I'm going to persevere. I'm going to be persistent in
what it is that God has told me belongs to me because this is
what true biblical faith looks like.
Ephesians chapter 6, verses 10 through 18.
Finally, be strong in the Lord. Say I'm strong in the Lord and
in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God so
that you'll be able to what? Stand firm.
Stand firm against the schemes of the devil, right?
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against
rulers, against the powers, against world forces of
darkness, against spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly
places. Therefore listen to what He
tells us to do. Take.
Up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist
in the evil day. And having done everything what?
Stand firm, Stand firm. Therefore, having girded your
loins with what? With truth, having put on the
breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with
the preparation of the gospel of peace, in addition to all, take
up the what shield of faith which is able to extinguish all
the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Hallelujah. You have not only the word of
God, but you have a shield of faith to be able to hold up
because you use Shields. You use armor in battle, you use
it in battle. You don't just wear it to look
pretty and to walk around the church.
And say, yes, I'm a person of faith.
Oh yes, I can quote whatever, whatever.
And yet your life. Is in shambles.
No, you have armor on to actually fight because faith
fights. Faith is not weak, Faith is not
passive, and faith is not going to operate in your life without
your engagement. It's not it's not.
It's not going to operate in your life without your
engagement. Just because you believe in
Jesus Christ does not mean your faith is active.
Doesn't mean your faith is active because we said the same
faith that you used to receive Jesus as your Lord is the same
faith that you are going to use to be able to obtain all the
promises that he says yes and Amen belong to you.
It's the same faith, but you have to activate it, you have to
use it, you have to put on the armor, you have to engage the
battle, you have to do what He says in His Word to be able to
obtain whatever it is that He says that we can obtain.
To look at this one. Faith will continue.
That means faith won't give up. If faith continues, then that
means no matter what situation, no matter how long it takes, no
matter what I go through in the process, I can continue in
faith. So until I see the promise come
to pass in my life, because faith continues, I like to say
this. It's committed to the end, and
it will outlast. The trial.
It will outlast the trial. It's committed to the end.
But how many of us believers know they're not committed to
the end and they're not outlasting their trials.
Many of them are giving up in the midst of it.
Giving up. Giving up, which means they're
not firmly persuaded that what God said in His Word about their
situation will and has to come to pass Amen.
So faith is committed to the end.
Listen to #7 Faith is firmly established.
Firmly established. I'm established on His word
again, and I will not be moved. I will not be shaken.
I will not be moved because I am a person of faith.
That is firmly established. Colossians 26 and eight.
Therefore, as you have received Christ the Lord, so walk in him.
Walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in
Him. And what established in your
faith, rooted and established in your faith, in your faith, you
know? All through Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John, you know, we haven't even talked about healing, but I
was thinking about this today. All through those.
Scriptures, when it said that Jesus went about healing, there
was multiple times he said, daughter, your faith has made
you healed. Your faith, not me, because I'm
all God and I'm all in control. No, your faith has made you
well. Your faith has healed you
multiple times. And it is us and our faith
because God's given us the faith.
So he's not going to do anything else with the faith.
He's given it to us. So it's up to us to say this is
my faith. That's going to receive the
promises that he says belong to me.
It's our faith, your faith that's going to make you well.
It's your faith that's going to bring in the resource of
whatever it is that you need. It's your faith that's going to
bring healing to your marriage. It's your faith.
That's going to help a rebellious teenager in your
home. It's your faith.
Come on. That's going to help get your
family members saved from the pit of hell.
It's your faith. Faith.
He gave it to us, but it's up to you to use it.
And it's your faith that's going to bring these things to pass.
Hallelujah. So let's read this.
It says being built in Him, established in your faith just
as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.
Hallelujah, your faith that's going to see these things come
to pass. So #8 faith considers him
faithful. Isn't that what we just sang?
That song considers him faithful, considers him
faithful, and the problem and the struggle is, is that people
have again not really gotten to know him, but only what he can
offer them. And so if you don't know him and
his character, if you haven't built your life upon the word of
God, if you've not built your life upon I just want to know
him. Come on, I and and everything
else will be added. Everything else that belongs to
Him comes with Him, but I just want to know Him.
I don't want to know how I can get a big boat and a big car and
all these. I just want to know Him.
And when I know Him, I know He will be faithful.
And whatever He says that I need to believe for, or whatever He
says that belongs to me, it's going to come with Him, knowing
Him, knowing that He is faithful to His word, that He cannot fail
me. Because he's faithful.
Hallelujah. Faith considers him faithful.
We talked about Sarah and Abraham, right?
But let's read this First Corinthians 1 and 9 out of the
amplified. God is faithful, reliable,
trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promises, and He can
be depended upon. By Him you were called into
companionship and participation with His Son Jesus Christ.
Our Lord, Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
He called us into partnership and companionship with him, and
when we get to know him, we'll know that he is trustworthy.
And reliable Hallelujah and faithful glory to God to
whatever it is that He said in His Word.
But if we're not getting in the Word for ourselves, we're not
going to know His character. We're we're not going to know
his character, OK, But we can clearly see in his word, his
character. Amen.
Hallelujah, how faithful he is to His word.
You know, I shared a little bit about us when God called us to
step out and to go to Rhema and talked about the fact that, you
know, we had sold a few little things, but I didn't share the
story. And I talked about the fact that
when we got there in the first couple of days, we went to a
restaurant to eat and I left my wallet and they stole all the
cash that we had to our name. And the only thing that was left
was that $3000 check for Rhema for first year for my husband
and I to attend that we did not have that a little old lady.
Listen, God called us to go to Rhema out to Oklahoma.
My husband had to quit his job. We didn't have a job, you know,
promised to us when we got there.
And he called us to Rhema a year before, I would say the summer
before we left. And so we had no money.
Y'all heard our struggle story. The struggle was real and but
God was always faithful. And so we two weeks before we
were to leave to Rhema, we did not have tuition, we did not
have the money to go to school. We had no money.
We had barely enough money to move us there to get us a U-Haul
and get us moved into a place. We had no money for the tuition
two weeks before we either leave.
Talking about getting down to the nitty gritty.
And I remember, you know, the question came up, I mean, it's
two weeks before we either leave.
Are we really going to pick up our whole family and move them
across to Oklahoma? You don't have a job promised to
you. We barely had a place to move
into and you know, we don't have our money for Rhema.
And my husband looked at me and he said if God called us to go
to Rhema, then God is going to provide.
I don't care if it's now or if it's whatever the day was that
Rhema was to start because we still had time before it even
started. So he said it, we believe it.
We're going no matter what. Well, an old lady.
She was probably at that time in her 60s.
Yeah, I thought that she was old.
I've been, remember, I'm 20, you know, 8.
So she was in her 60s, maybe somewhere in her 60s.
And so anyway, listen, this woman ran us down and located us
because she was a lady, that Lady from the Little Blue Church
in Stark, I don't even remember her name.
Little Blue Church. Maybe it was Anne or something
like that. Miss Anne?
No, he's shaking his head back there while we were youth
pastoring, volunteering at that little blue church in Start, and
not many people were in the church.
You know, there wasn't a whole lot of people.
But anyway, we had lost contact with her.
I mean, it had been over a year or so.
You know, we were not at that church any longer.
Well, she ran us down. She heard somehow that we were
going to go to Rhema. She ran us down two weeks before
we were to leave because, listen, we were not staying in a
house. We lived in a camp, in a tent
for four weeks before we left to go to Rhema at Kingsley Lake.
We lived in a tent so that we didn't have rent so that we
could use that money to be able to move with.
So my kids thought it was great, you know, the whole summer they
just roll out of the tent right into the lake at Kingsley Lake
and swim all day, you know, and we grilled every night.
They thought it was the funnest summer ever, you know, But
anyway, I didn't. So I mean, there was no camper
like I have now. It was tent living for four
weeks, OK, with three younger kids.
And so anyway, she ran us down somehow and we made a
connection. She.
Heard God had spoke to. Her to pay for both of our
tuition for the first year. Rhema to see how good God is and
if we wouldn't have held fast, if we wouldn't have stood firm
on what God's promise was or what he was calling us to do, if
we would not have been fully committed, if we would not have
come on. I mean, two weeks is getting
down to the nitty gritty before you're having to pick up your
whole family and move across country to a place you have no
idea who anyone is there or what he's telling you to do.
But God. But God was faithful to his
promise to us because I'm going to tell you if we would have
remained and said, well, we're going to wait until we get it.
That's. Not faith.
That is not true biblical faith. Many people will not step out in
true biblical faith with nothing.
Absolutely nothing. They want to have their ducks in
a row. They want to have their savings
account just in case they want to listen.
Stepping out in true biblical faith means there is nothing
under you but the Word. There was nothing in the bank.
There was no job waiting. And then all you cash the little
bit of, I mean it was probably 300 and. $50.00 Back then, that
was big. That was big money.
You know, to us cash that was enough that we were believing
that God would multiply until he got a job and could get a
paycheck coming in. So here we are now we picked up,
we moved because we had our Rhema check and now we're the
1st we first couple of days in Oklahoma get all your cash
stolen. Only had our Rhema check in the
in the wallet. Thank God they didn't steal
that. It was wrote out to Rhema.
So they, I guess they figured, you know, hopefully they had a
little bit of fear of God in them.
They weren't going to steal it from a church, you know, or
whatever. But they do people stolen from
here, you know, anyway, so here we are in Oklahoma, no job, no
money. Guess what we had to do?
I mean, don't think you, I didn't want to run home and
don't think, what in the world have we done?
And don't, don't think all of those thoughts don't come.
But what do you do? You say no.
Your promise? No.
You called us. No.
You said to do this. I'm committed.
No. Matter what it looks like, I'm
going to walk by faith. I'm not going to live by what I
see right now. All of these things are going
through your mind, but that's when you activate your faith and
that's when you begin to what Speak the Word.
That's when when you begin to stand on what you believe and
it's only then that you are operating in true faith because
you don't see it. You don't know how God, but God
is faithful to His word and whatever He has called you to
do, whatever He's asking you to do.
If he's asking you to step out and start a business and you
have nothing to start a business with, but do you know what you
do? You have faith?
You know what you do have? His word.
That is the substance that I'm stepping out on.
Whatever it is. Hallelujah.
That is true biblical faith. It is not this fairy tale faith
that we've turned it into that it wouldn't be difficult.
No. He asked.
For difficult things in our lives to say, are we truly going
to be all in on what it is that He is asking of us to walk into
every day of our life? Now let's look at faith.
Faith #9 Faith overcomes. Faith overcomes.
The characteristic of faith is that it is overcoming.
Guess what else? That it is victory.
So no matter what you are walking through, if you will
stand. Firm.
If you will hold fast, if you will contend for the faith, If
you'll fight the good fight of faith.
If you'll stand firm. If you'll put up the shield of
faith when he's telling you you're a fool.
What are you doing moving out to Oklahoma with three kids and no
job? When people with family members,
we're saying those things, you're a fool.
What are you doing? Where are you going?
What's Rhema? What is Rhema?
It'll make you look foolish, but he confounds.
Oh, he confounds the world. Glory to God, but faith
overcomes. And has the victory if you're
walking truly by faith, you can overcome whatever it is,
whatever the dynamic is that you're going through and always
get the victory first. John 54 This is something that
we have as one of our sayings here for Anchor Faith Church is
for whatever is born of God overcomes the world and this is
the victory that is overcome the world.
What? Say that again?
Say that again. His faith.
Our faith, our faith, our faith. Your faith can overcome
anything. That's going on in your life.
Anything that's going on in the world, it's our faith and we
will overcome and get the victory.
This word means to conquer. Overcome means to prevail and
get the victory to conquer. What are you using your faith
for to conquer? Some of you need to use your
faith to conquer insecurities. Some of you need to use your
faith to conquer rejection. Some of you need to use your
faith to conquer the money test and actually.
Trust God with your tithe and all your income.
Some of you need to trust God with your body for healing and
have faith for healing. Some of you need to actually
have faith in what it is that He has asked you to do to be able
to go to another place in Him, because He tells us where to go
from what faith to faith. Some of you need to use your
faith to overcome addiction, because if you actually believe
His Word, you can. Overcome the addiction and not
continue to allow the addiction to overtake you.
Alcohol. Drugs, pornography.
Come on, what have we had anybody over here, right here
that overcame and had the victory and used his faith to
overcome pornography? And he's not ashamed to say it.
And, you know, people told him, don't go to that church.
And what if he had not? He'd still be in a life of
pornography addicted and his marriage probably would be
falling apart. No, because this church is going
to teach you how to actually live by faith and walk by faith
so that you can actually overcome no matter what's going
on in this world, he said. It can overcome the things in
this world. Hallelujah.
This is true biblical faith. This is the characteristics of
faith. Let's look at this one number 10
Hebrews 41 through three. Therefore, let us fear if while
a promise remains, of entering his rest.
This is it. Faith rest.
When you're truly in faith, you don't have to strive to make it
happen. You don't have to wring your
hands and and and twiddle your thumbs in worry, wondering if
God's really going to do it or not.
No, because if you are firmly persuaded, you will be in rest.
Because faith rest it. Rest in the promises of God.
Hallelujah. Faith does not worry.
Faith does not fret. Faith does not get anxiety.
Faith does not have panic attacks.
I've heard people, ministers that were called to step out in
faith, taught the Word of Faith message, go to step out in
faith, get to that place where God called them to be and they
had panic attacks so they packed up.
And left and never started the church that God called him to
start. Because if you're firmly
persuaded and you're firmly persuaded, faith is a firm
persuasion, a confident expectation.
When you're firmly persuaded, I don't care how many panic
attacks you may have, faith will rest in that position.
Amen. Faith rest.
You don't have to be anxious. You don't have to strive.
You don't have to try to figure it out.
You don't have to get three and four jobs on how are we going to
make our bills? How, how is this going to, how
are we going to make ends meet when we went for our second year
of Rhema? Listen, first year was the only
check that we had. We only had first year and so
when we were in Rhema, the year was, you know, dwindling down,
getting ready to be done and getting ready to, you know, have
to re enroll for second year and you know, and we were just
making enough to live while we were there.
There was no extra. There was no nothing.
Listen guys, you know I said that I was in the fire for 15.
I never even had my hair done like professionally.
This is how. I didn't have.
You know, today Christians think if they don't have their nails
done and they don't have their eyes done, their eyebrows and
their and their lashes and their hair done, they expect all that
like their world is going to fall apart.
Seriously. Y'all think I'm joking?
They don't have the money for their Botox and they don't have
the I'm serious I'm not joking. I didn't have my hair done
professionally. For 18 years, till we got to
Saint Augustine, there was no money for a hairdo.
It was L'Oreal color, a box, whatever in the box.
And I did it myself, OK? And my world didn't fall apart
because I couldn't go have my hair done.
But anyway, so we're there at Rhema, just surviving.
I mean you know, there was a one time I remember and this is the
story of the Taco Surprise dinner.
Y'all remember this story? Some of you may not because
there's so many more new people and they need to hear it.
You know one thing about someone that I set up underneath from
the school that I graduated, he told the same story over and
over and over and over and over. And those same stories are still
going on even today. Same old stories.
And so Taco Surprise is going to keep on going.
So it was one of those nights. There was no more food in the
cabinets, none in the freezer. We were in Rhema, we were in
school. My husband worked that God awful
shift and I cleaned houses right after school.
I cleaned 3 houses right after school for three of them were
doctors. They were doctors.
So I cleaned their homes after school so that I could bring in
money and he brought in his money.
But that way it didn't affect me with being able to take care of
the kids and all that stuff. Anyway, so we were down to our
Last Supper, OK, And there was nothing else to eat.
So I'm like, well, what am I going to do for dinner tonight?
I open up the cabinet. There's one can of corn I have.
You know, when you had a family with lots of kids, you'd buy the
big pack of hamburger meat and then you divide it up, put it in
the freezer, split it up. So I had 1 LB of hamburger meat.
I looked in the closet there was one little box of Jiffy
cornbread mix. Y'all remember Jiffy?
About $0.25 a box. OK.
And there was in my seasonings Taco seasoning.
So I'm like well we they're like what's for dinner?
I said, well it's going to be Taco surprise tonight because
that is all that is in these cabinets.
So I fried up the meat, put the Taco seasoning in, dump the can
of corn in it, put it in a pan, put the jiffy.
I had one egg because that's all the box needed.
One egg and water, I believe, or milk, little bit of milk for the
the cornbread mix. And I put it in a casserole
dish, put the meat, the corn, and then I put the Jiffy
cornbread mix over the top of it.
And then I put it in the oven and baked it.
Yeah, it's actually pretty good. Kind of like a shepherd's pie
ish. So, you know, when you have
picky eaters as kids, it is what it is.
You eat or you go to bed with nothing.
That's how it is. That's the Last Supper.
That's all we had. Well, you know, again, I had
already told you all a story about not having anything when
Brianna was little and had waking up to all the groceries
on the front doorstep. And so anyway, that was all that
was in the meal. Well, thank the Lord we were
having company come. Well, it happened to be my
mother. So she was flying in.
She gets to the house and we're talking.
She's undoing this or what? Da, da, da, da.
And she's, well, you know, you know, mom.
So she's opening up refrigerators and looking and
she's like, well, what are we going to have for dinner?
And I'm like, I don't know. It's going to be a surprise, I
guess. I don't know.
Well, what did you think? We were going to eat.
I don't know. Well, let's go.
So she gets in the car and she goes and blesses us with a whole
bunch of groceries God provided. Amen.
You see that? But I wasn't going to give her a
sad, sappy story. I didn't say mom.
We don't have any food, please go get us something to eat.
We're dying. Didn't.
Do that. Did not do that.
That's not faith, people that do that, that's manipulation.
It's manipulation. So she goes and stocks us up so
we're good to go. Amen.
And that food multiplies. But I'm just saying faith rest
in the promises of God. You don't have to stress.
You don't have to try to figure it out.
You don't have to work your fingers to the bones.
Three and four jobs, Come on. I mean, I know people that do
this. God wants you to rest in Him and
have faith in Him and in His promises and do what it is that
His word says to do. If we are in his economic
system, if we are tithers, if we are givers, if we on every wave
in every season sow our seed, He said, it will come back to us.
Hallelujah. What good measure Pressed down,
shaken together, and running over.
And men shall give unto your bosom.
Men, it's OK. Do you know how many prideful
believers we have that they don't want anybody to actually
seem like people are given to them?
That's pride because the Bible says if you give, men will give
unto you. So people, I always say, people
do give unto me because I'm a giver and surely I will take it.
I'm not going to. Oh, no, no, don't worry about
it. Don't worry about it.
Oh, no, don't give it to somebody else that really needs
it. No, I really need it because.
I'm a sower. So that seed you give to me,
guess what is getting ready to get released into somebody
else's hand? And that's how it keeps going.
When you give on every wave, when you give in every season,
Come on. I'm telling you, God is faithful
and He is able to fulfill His promises in every bit of our
lives, in everything that He has required and asked.
Of us. Let's look at these last few.
Faith rejoices. If you, and again I said this
when we were in Rhema and one of our instructors had said, you
know, if you are really in faith, you'll be happy, You'll
read joyful Keith Moore. He was great at that, you know.
And my husband thought, well, he.
Didn't even have to. Work when he went to Rhema, he
don't know. Getting all you know, who's he
think he is? He didn't have three kids.
His wife worked while he went to Rainbow.
What did he have to do? You see what I'm saying?
Why? Because you're thinking, well,
if we are in faith, we're going to be full of joy.
We're going to rejoice, we're going to be happy.
We're going to be at rest. We're going to be at peace,
right? We're not going to let this move
us. This is not going to bother us.
James 1137 says this. It says James, a bond servant of
God and the Lord Jesus Christ to the 12 tribes who were dispersed
about greetings. Consider.
It all what, my brethren, when you enter into various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance, and
let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be
perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
But if anyone who lacks in wisdom, let him ask God who
gives generously and without reproach, and to excuse me.
And it will be of God who gives to all generously and without
reproach. Did I already say that?
And it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without
doubting. For the one who doubts is like
the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by every wind.
For that man ought not to expect to receive anything from the
Lord. So can people in church be in a
place that they don't receive anything from the Lord?
This is true biblical faith. This is what His Word says,
Hallelujah. So just because you're here
don't automatically mean you're in faith and you're going to
receive the promises of God. Hallelujah.
Come on, We have to really think about this and really ask
ourselves, are we really firmly persuaded in faith, activated in
everything that we're doing? And if we?
Are we're going to rejoice, We're going to be glad.
You know what? I don't care how long this trial
is going to go on. I'm going to listen.
You don't even know how many times I had to come up here
trial after trial after trial and be happy about it and be
happy about it when people are slandering you and be happy
about it when come on. You know what?
Because I trust in my God, I have faith in Him, and I have
joy. I have rest, I have peace.
Come on. All of these things belong to
those that are truly in real faith, real faith.
Faith will rejoice in the midst of the trial, in the midst of
the circumstance, in the midst of the situation.
Faith will only believe. Faith will only believe.
The next point, Faith, the characteristic of faith, is
purely belief. It will only believe.
Only believe. Isn't that what he told the in
the Scripture? Only believe.
Only believe.
So when that pastor comes up and something's going on in your
life and he says just only believe, isn't that what Jesus
said? Just only believe.
You are truly not firmly persuaded if you just don't only
believe. Only believe.
There is no other answer. This is called faith.
There is no other way. This is called you only
believing, walking by faith, not by sight.
You don't see how your marriage is going to turn around, only
believe. You don't see how this
circumstance is going to turn around.
Only believe because true biblical faith only believes it.
Never doubts it, never waivers come on it.
Only believes, only believe. But you know, Christians today
don't want to hear that. They want to say, well, and I
said this, well, what happens if you were really believing and it
didn't turn out the way you want?
Then you weren't really believing because, he says, only
believe. I only believe, again I said
that there are circumstances and situations because if something
didn't take place that you said you were firmly persuaded about
or that you were in faith about and you did not see that come to
pass, then it is not God or his faith.
It's something that we missed. Or we are ignorant of and we
don't know because God is always faithful to fulfill his word no
matter what. It is not a God problem if you
say I don't care who. Says it.
I don't care who says it. Well, I believed it.
No, you didn't believe. There was something that you
were missing. There was something that was
off. There was something that you
didn't know. Come on.
I'm telling you. We have to get that in our
heads. Only believe.
Only believe Hebrews 11. Without faith, it's impossible
to please him. For he that cometh to him what
must believe. Must believe that He is and that
he is a what a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
He's a rewarder. That's what I believe.
Hallelujah. Because I diligently seek Him.
Because I day and night meditate in His word.
Come on. Because I take His word in as
daily bread. Because my life.
My life of faith is built upon the foundation of His word.
Faith is the substance of things.
Come on. That is only found in his word,
glory to God. So faith only believes in it.
And we already read Mark 1123 where he said, what did he say?
Truly, I say to you, whoever says to these mountains be taken
up, cast into the sea, does not. What doubt in his heart.
But what believes that what he says is going to happen and it
will be granted to him. So again, faith doesn't doubt.
True biblical faith doesn't doubt.
I'm not saying that you won't have the temptation to doubt.
See. See that little tweak because I
heard it in the spirit y'all say, Oh it never.
Temptation to doubt is different than doubting in your heart.
You don't, you don't give that thought entrance.
You don't allow that thought entrance into your heart.
You don't let that temptation become conceived within your
heart. You see that temptations going
to come. Like I said, all the thoughts
were there. What are you going to do?
You're a fool. You're going across the country.
You have no money. You're taking your three
children. You have no guarantee of a job.
You don't have a 401K, you don't have a guaranteed salary.
You don't have any savings. All those were thoughts of
doubt. They were temptations.
And you know what they were doing?
Saying get. Hold of me.
Get hold of me, grab hold of me, grab hold of me.
Instead of holding fast to the word and what I said, hold fast,
grab hold of me. The doubt so that you don't hold
fast to the word that I just promised you.
So doubt. Thoughts will come.
Those doubts will come, but we're not going to let them.
Give birth in our heart to where I'm truly now just doubting in
my heart that God is able no, never going to be never going to
be OK because we cannot be people of faith if we have
doubt. Matthew 1431 Hallelujah this I'm
getting ready to do our last two immediately Jesus stretched out
his hand. This was them right took hold of
him. The one that said stepped out of
the boat. Peter stepped out in the water,
right. He saw Jesus coming on the
water, walking on water and I've heard many people preach this
wrong. He come walking on the water,
right? Peter stepped out of the boat.
He said, bid me come right. So he came steps out and what
happens? Peter begins to what focus on
all the waves and the winds and then what happens?
He begins to sink. What does Jesus do?
He reaches down, takes hold of him because I've heard people
preach, see God really wasn't, you know, didn't have a problem
with him sinking. It was no big deal that he sank
trying to justify his wavering. Look what he says.
But the scripture says what? You of what little faith?
Why did you what? Why did you?
Doubt me. Why did you doubt me?
You of little faith? He didn't say, oh, it's no big
deal, I love you and I'm always there to pick you up and oh
blah, blah, blah, blah. No, he rebuked him.
He said you have little faith. Why did you doubt?
You stepped out, you were walking.
Why did you let the circumstance of the winds and the waves get
you fearful to doubt me and begin to sink?
He rebuked him. You have little faith, so he let
him know that his faith was little.
At that moment, he had great faith to be able to step out,
but because everything was turning upside down around him,
come on, he began to doubt that God could continue to keep him
stable in the midst of the circumstance of the
circumstance. And he said, why did you doubt?
Why did you doubt? So faith doesn't doubt.
Faith is unwavering, unwavering. Amen.
We said this about Abraham. It actually said in Romans 420
and 21. It says yet with respect to the
promise of God, He did not what waver in unbelief, but he grew
strong in faith, giving glory to God and being fully assured that
what God had promised he was able to perform Hallelujah, he
was able to perform it. Listen, faith is unwavering it
one translation said he staggered not it doesn't
stagger. It doesn't waver when the when L
the the winds and the waves start blowing when the
circumstance start turning upside down of what?
You thought, oh yay, God called us to go to Rainbow.
Woo Hoo, that's awesome. And then you get in the midst of
it and think, well, this isn't so grand, this isn't so great,
right? This is what I'm.
Saying so you have to get in the midst of it and stag or not and
be unwavering, right and be a person that there is going to be
no variance in your faith. You're not going to be full of
faith one day and little faith the next day, right, because
that person is being tossed to and and and fro the scripture
says in James being tossed back and forth.
One day they're in faith. One day they've got little
faith. One day they're doubting.
One day they're wavering, questioning.
We have to be people that are firmly established and fixed and
never be a people that's going to doubt that his word last.
One faith speaks. Faith speaks.
We need to pick up our confession of faith.
Believers have gotten away from this.
We need to pick up our confession and we need to
declare what we believe. We need to start saying what His
word says and start speaking it over our marriages, speaking it
over our children, speaking it over our finances, speaking it
over our businesses, speaking it over our lives, right?
Because I'm going to tell you, faith speaks 2nd Corinthians
413. This is the last scripture.
But having the same spirit of faith according to what is
written, I believe, therefore I what spoke, we also believe,
therefore we we speak, we speak, we will speak what we believe.
I'm not just going to speak what I believe, Oh, that Jesus Christ
is my Savior. I'm going to, I'm going to speak
what I believe His promises have told me.
I believe. I'm going to speak that by his
stripes I am healed. I'm going to believe that I've
received and I'm going to speak that my God shall supply all of
my needs according to his riches and glory.
I'm going to believe and I'm going to speak that I that I
don't have to have shame and guilt.
To be a part of my life and I there therefore now is no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
I'm going to speak what I believe about whatever it is
that's going on in our lives. Amen.
We stand up. We must be people that stand up
that will declare the word of the Lord in all of our
circumstances and everything that we're going through in our
life. We have to speak what we
believe. I believe that my business will
prosper. I believe that my children will
rise up and follow God all the days of their life.
I believe, come on, that every promise that God says belongs to
me, I will walk in it, right? I I believe that favor will
follow me everywhere I go. I believe we have to speak it.
We have to declare it. We have to speak the things that
we believe because when we speak it, we activate it.
We activate it because God can't.
Move if we are not saying what he said, if we are not speaking
what he says, and this is one way that you can overcome the
doubts. When the doubts are loud,
speaking and saying you're never your marriage is never going to
make it. When the doubts are loud, saying
you'll never be able to trust them again.
When the doubts are loud, saying no, that's when you being firmly
persuaded of what God's word said of the no.
I will have a marriage. Like the word of God says, come
on, I will have heaven on earth in my marriage.
You have to declare it. You have to release it.
And you do it until you're blue in the face, until you see the
reality of your faith come to pass.
You speak it, you say it, you release it.
Every time the doubt comes, every time the fear comes, every
time anything comes out. You.
Have to release it by faith and
say no, but my God said whatever it is because I believe him, I
believe that I will not have to deal with this sickness and
disease in my body another day in my life because he already.
Bore. My sicknesses, come on.
He already bore those infirmities on his back 2000
years ago. You see what I'm saying?
So are you firmly persuaded that you don't have to another day of
your life walk in sickness and disease?
Are you saying it? Are you firmly persuaded?
Are you speaking it over your body?
You see that I had a time with a young lady just this past week
that said she had dealt with 36 miscarriages.
I said, this is not of God. They've already had a child.
They've already had one. I said this is not the promise
of God. He said children are an
inheritance of the Lord. He said, see, I took her to the
Scriptures, I took her to the Word, and then I laid hands on
her and then I talked to her about some things she could do
in the natural as well. And I said, now your faith, you
speak this over your body every day.
You get the scripture for you to stand upon, to activate your
faith in this situation, that your body will receive the seed
and it will carry the seed because it's a promise of God.
You see what I'm saying? So are we going to live by
faith? Are we going to walk by faith?
And this is how we have to do it and see that this is true
biblical faith. This is how we overcome
Hallelujah. This is how we walk in faith.
