Application of the God Kind of Faith – Part 1
Dr RJ Sing
“But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
The Word has been given to us to strengthen out our thinking and we must get out our thinking in line with the Word. You cannot believe Beyond your knowledge of the Word. Your faith will not work above the level of your confession. Therefore, you must believe those things which you say, will come to pass and your entire vocabulary must be disciplined. Proverbs 18:7 NKJV “A fool’s mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.”
Application formula for the God kind of faith is – say it, do it and receive it, therefore, see yourself with it – 2 Corinthians 4:18. Romans 13:14 NKJV “But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” Make no provision for the flesh.
Revelations 12:11 NKJV “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” We don’t have to make God’s work good because He will make it good. All we have to do is stand on it.
