Muhammad Ali was getting on a plane to fly to Zaire south Africa to fight George Foreman - the Rumble in the Jungle. Just before the plane is about to take off the flight attendant asks Mr. Ali to put on his seatbelt, to which he responds “Superman don’t need no seatbelt”. To which the flight attendant responded “superman also don’t need no plane… now buckle up”.
Ali seemed to have mountains of faith in himself…
FAITH- You gotta have faith faith faith (limp Bizkit, George Michael)
TOP 10 faith facts
- Faith is a lifestyle - you don’t use your faith when you need it, you live a life of faith.
2. Faith is a lifestyle For people of every walk of life
You don’t have to be super spiritual to live a life of faith. You don’t have to be a pastor, evangelist or perfect.
3. Faith gives substance to things hoped for
Faith is tangible. You hope for something (a unselfish Godly desire) You begin to practice putting your faith behind it and seeking God for it. And Faith starts to make it materialize.
4. Faith is the evidence of things not seen
How do you know it will happen? Because I have faith that it will happen. Faith is my evidence, not the thing itself.
5. Faith maintains a good report.
Faith is positive. It is always looking at the best, it is always believing in a loving and supernatural God who is on your side!
6. Faith understands the world was framed by faith
Everything in this world was created by faith. Even the bad things were in a sense created by doubt and fear which is simply faith in satan.
7. Faith is unmoved by things unseen. Rom.4:17
My faith is not subject to what I see or don’t see happening. It is based on the word of God and who Christ is.
8. Faith enables us to please God Heb. 11:6 & 4:2
Living a sinless life is not the way we please God, we please God by living a faith filled life. Meaning, we not only have access to his promises but we act (i.e. faith) on them.
A sinless life can be a boring life- a faith filled life is an adventure!
9. Every believer has been given a measure of faith Rom.12:3
Faith is a muscle. We all have the same muscles… no one has more muscles. But some of us have them more developed than others.
Develop your faith- grow your faith by practicing it, using it etc…
We all started out with the same measure… some of us just worked it out more.
10. Faith comes by hearing God Rom.10:17
hearing - Rhema word - hearing the actual spoken word of God and acting on it.
My first ever time hearing God speak to me (and I don’t mean audible) was in 5th grade at the East Town mall. God said go to the book store…
The ABC's of Faith
- Agree phil.2:3 -1 John 5:14-15
Agree on who God says you are and what he says you have.
B. Believe Mk. 11:23-25
Belief is action. Put action behind your faith.
I am going to be moving out of my house pretty soon in the near future. I believe it, so I have been slowly cleaning out my office and getting rid of books and stuff…
C. Confess
Know this one thing for sure. Once you decide to start to practice faith you will be hit up side the head by doubt, worry, second guessing, your sin conscience will kick in…
That is when you confess Gods word over your life.
D. Do -be a do'er of Gods word.
Don’t try to just practice faith in one area of your life. You must be doing what his word says in every area.
i.e. if you are a lousy husband and you are practicing faith to get a better job or more money… it don’t work that way. Remember faith is a lifestyle not a pet project for your wants!
