Faith no 65

Faith produces the Live Facts of the promise

February 14, 2018

Brian Kocourek, Pastor

Sunday we spoke concerning Hebrews 11 and showed what the world would be without Faith. We saw how Jesus even said, "when the Son of Man comes will he find Faith?" This evening I would like to show that not only will Faith produce the promise, but it will make alive and manifest or project every fact into reality concerning that promised Word.

From his sermon A Paradox 61-1210 P:117 brother Branham said, "We know His Word is a paradox. When It promises something so unreal to the world, something that they cannot prescribe to, it's something beyond their knowledge and understanding. But when a simple heart will take that Word and sink It into the depths of its being, then that Word produces the live facts of that promise. Oh, how we thank Thee for this, that there is simple people that believe this Message.

Notice his words here, when a simple heart will take that Word and sink It into the depths of its being, then that Word produces the live facts of that promise. Now, we know that Faith is revelation, and revelation is light or knowledge or understanding of the Word and when the light or revelation strikes the Word of promise it produces the very life of the Promise in and through them that have Faith or revelation in the promise.

Perseverant 63-0802 P:26 See, you've got to know. And you cannot know until you have faith, and faith produces that know-so. Faith is that know. Faith is that thing that says it.

Possessing all things 62-0506 P:72 Now, aren't we thankful to the Lord? Just glad, I'm so glad that the Lord is God. Amen. So glad that He's a tender Father, full of mercy, honors His Word, keeping His Covenant, never forgetting It. He keeps His Covenant. He has to; He's God, He made It. He's the Fountain of all Truth. See? There cannot be anything else but unadulterated Truth all the time. Every Word He speaks is infallible. And this is His Word. And, O God, let my faith be infallible in It (Amen.), then It can become infallible. As the Word is infallible, then the Word in that kind of faith will produce anything the Word says It'll do. Amen. So, cleanse me, Lord. Try me, cleanse me, heal me, protect me, bless me, and give me Your mercies, is my prayer to God. Amen.

Doctor Moses 55-0114 P:4 Like a loaf of bread is worth, is worth ten cents, let's say. Well, here's the dime. Well, that's not the loaf of bread. But it's by the ten cents I purchase the bread. So it's by faith that I purchase salvation. Faith is not salvation. Faith purchases salvation. Faith... The dime paid for the loaf of bread, but the dime is not the loaf of bread. See? So you believe God, and God confirms your faith by giving you back what your faith produces. You say, "I have faith to be healed." If you have, you're healed. God's obligated to His Word. You see it?

James 1:3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

Notice that this shows there is a trial associated with your faith.

James 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

So as we see in 2 Thessalonians 1:7-2:3 that the trial of our Faith will produce in some one thing while in others it will not produce at all. It all depends on your Faith.

7  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10  When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Thessalonians 2:1  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2  That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3  Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;

II Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Jehovah Jireh 2 64-0403 P:48 Notice, real faith rests upon the solid Rock of the promise of God's Word. It doesn't shift. The real faith is anchored, like in the North Star. The north star is a tie post to every shipmaster, The compass points him only to that north star. And God, the Word is every Christian's North Star if you are lost. And the Holy Spirit is what points you to It. It won't point to nothing else. All other isms and so forth, and Christianity mixed up in it, whatever it may be, it's like the world shifting. It changes those stars. But it can't change the north star. And neither can anything change the Word of God. Anchor to It. Stay with It. Now, real faith doesn't shift by creeds, and manmade doctrines, and unbelief. It stays right with the Word: real faith in the Word. And where can you put your faith on anything else but the Word? If God said it, hold your finger to it; that's true. It doesn't shift. It draws from God's breasted Book, the Bible, His attributes, what He promised. What He promised, that's His Word. The Word produces itself. It has to be a thought 'fore Word, then Word; then the Word's manifested. And that's where you draw your strength from, believing for the Creator: believing like He was the Creator that made the world.

Notice brother Branham says, it has to be a thought first, then when it is spoken it becomes Word, and then that Word has got to come into manifestation.

Turn on the light 64-0125 P:12 No life can come outside of light. Life produces--light produces life. There can be no life outside of light, natural or spiritual. There must be...And only Light can come by the Word of God. God's Word is the Light when It's manifested. It's just a Seed laying here, as God planted all the seeds. Our bodies was on the earth before the world... Well, before there was any light here, any life here, or anything; the calcium, potash, petroleum, and cosmic light, whatever, it was here when God created the earth. It only taken His spoken Word to bring it into existence, just like it did botany life, or tree life, what, or whatever life there is to be.

Spoken word original seed 62-0318M P:125 All right. And when so, the Bible is manifested again like in the early days of Christ. See? 'Cause you are a predestinated seed just like Christ was; and when the rain falls on the seed, the life produces itself. When the Holy Spirit falls... When It fell on those seed that Jesus said He chose them when? Before the foundation of the world. Then they were a predestinated seed. Is that right? Then here they haul themselves up in the upper room, these seeds, the Word, and the Word was laying on there without Life in it. All of a sudden there came a sound from heaven as the waters begin to gush down. And it actually filled all the house where they were setting. And the seeds begin to grow. It begin to manifest itself, the Word of God being manifested.

Ever present water 61-0723M P:79 We stay with the Word, and the Word produces signs. Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe the Word." See, it stays with the... You stay with the Word; the Word produces the signs. But Moses, what did he do? They wandered off, and what did they do? Wandered off the path, and they lost their water supply. I think that's what the church has done today. It's wandered off the path of the Scripture. They've got off onto isms. They've got off onto little things that they should not do. They adopted things. They adopted things like Apostles' Creed. Where do you find that in the Bible? They adopted catechisms that they read. They adopted denominations in the stead of an experience. They adopted shaking hands instead of a born again experience. They adopted sprinkling instead of water baptism. They adopted an evil form, "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," when there's no such a thing in the Bible. The Bible said, "In the Name of Jesus Christ." There's only one thing to do if you want that same Water, come back to the path again. Get back on the... He hasn't left; He's still here.

Notice he said they have to go off the path first and then they dry up. They leave the path of the Word and then they fall away. It's just that simple and when they fall away, it is because they go after other things than the One Who is leading.

Listen God can take you right up to the point of crossing over and you can go off the path at the last minute and be lost. I've seen brothers come out from the denominational thinking of "God sent a prophet" and think that was enough, and I've watched them come into deeper water and then drown because they got in too much over their head.

Now, when we talk of deeper water usually it comes via a teacher, because brother Branham said in his sermon, Warning then judgment 63-0724 P:51 The teacher is a special man. He sets back under the anointing of the Spirit and is able to take the Words and put them together by the Holy Spirit, that the pastor or evangelist either one could not compare with him. And then we find out the apostle is a special man. He's a setter-in-order. He's a man that's sent from God to set the things in order.

And I've seen them come into the teaching of the Parousia Presence of Christ, (Deeper water) and then go off into the Lamb has come down, because they did not understand Godhead. And they drowned right there and didn't move on. They missed it right there because they didn't know who came down. They missed the Appearing before the Coming because they do not know who came down, and they went off into baptizing in Br. Branham's name and all kinds of fanaticism. Watch the deeper water, brethren it can be treacherous. God always took his people across where the waters were shallow.

I've seen them come right into the Shout, and even come to the understanding of the Appearing before the Coming, and then they stepped into teaching that was way too deep for them and they drowned right there because they were too deep over their heads and didn't know how to spiritually rest, float.

And so they still missed it because they still do not know who came down, because now they have somehow inserted "two lords" instead of what the scripture has always taught that there is "only One Lord". And when the Teacher told them "Two Lords is a fallacy", they did not take that as warning, but take thought that was some sort of twist to trick people away from the "Truth of Two Lords" and they stepped into deeper water that was way over their heads and they went down, and when they come up for a breath they cried out "There is two lords", and then because they were not meant to be in such deep water because they haven't learned to rest in the water of God's Word, they began to struggle in the deep water of the Word and began to sink again.

Now, you can't swim in these waters, they are not meant to swim in. They are meant to cross over, and when the waters are to the knee you can still walk, and when they come to the thigh, you struggle with the current but you can still slowly walk. But when the waters get deep, to deep to walk, they are there to carry you, and if you do not learn to let go and let God your struggle will be your undoing.

Waters to carry you over means waters to be able to float you to your destination. and in order to float in water you have to learn to just relax your body and you will stay right on top of the water. But people that are stiff (necked) and uncircumcised in their hearts and are inflexible will go down into the deeper water and come up thinking, if there is Two Lords then there must be "Two Christ's". and because they are inflexible and have not learned to relax in the Waters of the Word they try to press ahead and that is when they sink.

And I have seen Icabod written over churches where at one time they walked in the light as it was coming to pass but then they feared and stopped walking and as the waters of separation got higher and higher, they resisted the Holy Spirit and His Word the Spirit of the Lord departed from them, and yet don't even know it. They continue on struggling to stay above the waters but they not going to make it that way.

Br. Vayle used to say all the time, "Waters to the knee, waters to the thigh and then waters to carry you over." But waters to carry you over are not for those who try to swim and make it against the current, but for those who have entered into rest. If you have not entered into His Rest you will never make it over the deep troubling waters because you will struggle to stay on top of it all, and that is when you will go under. If you know anything about swimming, you know that to float you must learn to relax, and your body will naturally stay on top of the water. But the more rigid you are the less likely you will float. And those who are inflexible when it comes to the deeper waters of this Word will end up drowning as Peter spoke of those who wrestled with Paul's deep teaching.

2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16  As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17  Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18  But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

God warned us of this not entering into His rest in Psalms 95:8 Harden not your heart, (harden not, don't allow your heart, our thinking to become so inflexible that you become stiff-necked) as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9  When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 10  Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

And again we read from the Apostle Paul this same warning for the Gentiles in Hebrews 3:7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, Today if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. (and what is sin? it is unbelief) 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end; 15 While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16  For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, (disbelieved) whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? 19  So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Now, from his sermon The Ever present water 61-0723M P:78 brother Branham said, "They had but one thing to do. They had but one thing to do; that's stay straight on the course, not wander off over here, and wander off over there, but stay on the course. The church has got but one thing to do: stay on the course. They had a Pillar of Fire that they had to keep themselves in course by: follow that Pillar of Fire. That's what led them. Their object they could see, was that Pillar of Fire. They seen It working through Moses, and they knowed that he was the leader. Today we got the Word. We follow the Word. And we see the Word working in the believers, and we know it's so then: God working with us, confirming the Word with signs following. We stay with the Word. The Word produces the results. They stayed with Moses. Because the Pillar of Fire, Moses followed That. And they followed. When they begin to turn against Moses, and fuss against God and against Moses, they got to wandering off to one side and the other. Troubles come in. Sure.

And from his sermon, Christ is the mystery 63-0728 P:238 Brother Branham said, "The Word only has Life. Any other word is a hybrid. No matter how much it looks like it, it isn't the Word. The Word produces Its own Life that Eve swapped for personal knowledge (see how the church has today?) through some man's understanding. Moses had a great understanding of God till he met the burning bush, then he saw his failure. The burning bush had what Moses lacked. The Word's got what the denomination lacks.

Wisdom verses faith 62-0401 P:88 Now, see,, then as soon as she did that, accepted wisdom with the Word... And wisdom was contrary to the Word. (If you understand, say, "Amen.") [Congregation replies, "Amen!"--Ed.] (See?) If wisdom is with the Word, and proves to be with the Word, and the Word produces Itself by the same thing, then it is the Word..

Again we see brother Branham use those words, "the Word produces Itself by the same thing," Just as we earlier heard him say, "when a simple heart will take that Word and sink It into the depths of its being, then that Word produces the live facts of that promise." And again we also read earlier where he said, As the Word is infallible, then the Word in that kind of faith will produce anything the Word says It'll do. God confirms your faith by giving you back what your faith produces.

All these things brother Branham is saying over and over again al have to do with Faith producing the living promise of the Word of God.

And we see this in the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 8:19  For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of (the expression, the living promise produced and projected in) the sons of God. 20  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 24  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Now, Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2 that no man could understand the things of God unless the spirit of God was in him. And so in order to be about our fathers business, it is impossible unless according to Ephesians 1:13 & 14 we have received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15  But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Now brother Branham spoke in his sermon “The Spoken Word is the Original Seed” and let us know according to Genesis 1:11, that “every Seed must bring forth after Its Kind”.

Look 63-0428 P:56 Pharaoh did not have this potential. He was offered it, but refused it. And when he refused it then he couldn't focus. No man, after he's turned down the Word of God, can ever focus himself into it, because you refused the Word that brings you into relationship with Christ. That's right. So...But Moses looked out of this window. He believed it. Why? Moses looked by faith. That's how Moses looked. Now, listen real close to this remark. Faith... Now, don't forget to get this now. Faith is designed to see what God wills and wants. There is no knowledge that can do that. Faith alone is designed and give to the human race to find out what the will of God is. And you take your faith that you've got and it don't focus with the Word, then leave it alone, you got the wrong faith. But when your God given faith focus you with the Word of God, you're directly in line and zeroed. Oh, my. God help us this hour, great hour that we live in. Faith, designed to see what God wants. How do you see it? Through the camera of His Word, His promise. This is a full revelation of Jesus Christ.

Why cry speak 63-0714M P:65 Now, watch what takes place now. Moses saw this by a vision and Pharaoh said that, "This is great." God said, "It's an abomination." So God... Moses chose what God said. Now, notice, faith sees what God wants you to see. See? Faith sees what God sees, and reasoning and senses see what the world wants you to see. Notice, reasoning. "Why, it's only human sense; it's only--only reason it's this. This is... Well, ain't this just as good." See? That's just exactly when you use those senses which is contrary to the Word (See?), then that's what the world wants you to see. But faith don't look at that; faith looks what God said. See, see? You cast down reasons.

Jesus Christ was so submissive to the Will of God that Isaiah called him the blind servant who was deaf to anything but the Voice of God, and blind to all but what God willed for him to see. And that made him the perfect servant.

Isaiah 42: 19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD'S servant?

The NIV says, Who is blind like my servant, and deaf like the Messenger I send? Who is blind like the one that is committed to me, blind like the servant of the Lord? You have seen many things but have paid no attention, your ears are open, but you hear nothing. You Pleased the Lord for the sake or righteousness, to make His law great and glorious.

Total deliverance 59-0712 pp. 55-56 55   Jesus was completely, totally man. He could cry like a man, He could eat like a man; He could become like a man. He was completely, totally man in His physical being. And in His Spirit, He was completely, totally God, so He made His flesh submissive to the Spirit that was IN Him. You see, He was tempted in all manners like we are. He was man, not an Angel. He was a man. He had desires and temptations just like we do. The Bible said He did. He was a man, not an Angel above temptation. Hebrews 1 said that He was... Hebrews 1:4 said He was made lower than the Angels. He was man, completely man, that God took a complete man to bring total deliverance; and He filled Him with His Spirit; the Holy Ghost was in Him without measure. And He was tempted like we were. And He was completely God. He proved it when He raised the dead, when He stopped nature, the roaring seas and the mighty winds. When He spoke to the trees, and so forth, they obeyed Him. He was God inside. And He could've been man, for He was Man, but He totally and completely delivered Himself as a Man into the hands of God for the service of God. And He is our example. 56   We are men and women. We're also Christians. If He's our example, let us completely deliver ourselves into the hands of the Holy Ghost, that we might be subjects of the Kingdom of God. He was totally man; He was totally God, but He surrendered His natural parts and His physical parts, and His Own thinking, and His Own doing, and His Own cares, and "I do only that which pleases the Father." There you are. Totally delivered from human beings... The priests come to Him, the great men, and said, "Rabbi So-and-so," and tried to bribe Him into their affiliations and denominations, but He was totally delivered because He trusted in God. Did not the Psalmist say, "Thou will deliver Him, for He has completely trusted in Me"? See?

Jesus was so committed to his Father, that he did nothing, but what God showed him to do. He spoke nothing but what God commanded him to speak. He taught no doctrine but what doctrine God gave him to teach and he did not do his own will, but the will of Him that sent him. But notice it was His Faith in What God taught him, and told him to do and speak that actually brought that thought from God into a living promise. The promise made alive.

John 5: 19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

John 14: 10 the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

John 14: 24 the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

John 14: 31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

John 12: 49 I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.18  He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

John 4: 34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Hebrews chapter 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6  In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7  Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

Now, this was taken from the book of Psalms 40: 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

Now, let’s get back to Hebrews 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15  Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21  And having an high priest over the house of God; 22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24  And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

What I believe is taking place in this hour is that God is coming more and more into His church, and His sons are becoming more and more in the image of their elder brother, which means they are coming more and more into the image of the Source of Life which is their Father.

Again I want to remind you what the prophet of God taught us. He said, "the Word produces Itself by the same thing,"

In other words, what the word says, when that Word is taken in by the sons of God and that Word promise is embraced fully by the sons of God then that Word promise will produce itself in them.

Remember he also said, "when a simple heart will take that Word and sink It into the depths of its being, then that Word produces the live facts of that promise."

And what are the Live facts? They are the facts of the promise which have been made alive to us through Faith in the Spoken Word making that Spoken Word a living Word, alive and expressed in those who hear, r3ecognize and act upon that Word of promise.

And again we also read earlier where he said, "As the Word is infallible, then the Word in that kind of faith will produce anything the Word says It'll do.

And that is because this Word we believe is infallible, and it cannot fail, for in the Beginning was the Word and the Word was God.

And again we heard God's prophet say, "God confirms your faith by giving you back what your faith produces."

Oh, my, then that means what God reveals to you becomes yours. And that is exactly what he promised us in Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

And of course God confirmed this on the day of Pentecost when he said, Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Let us pray...
