God works and rewards through good behavior.
God works through right belief.
Right belief is more valuable than good behavior.
Belief is not something you get when you behave good.
Most people who bad behavior had right belief…
Right belief will bring good behavior, but good behavior rarely brings right belief.
What bad behavior is in relation to Satan, right belief is in relation to Holy Spirit.
Right believing, not just any believing is the channel for the Holy Spirit!!! (gal.3:5; Hebrews 11:6)
1. Faith will not remove the battle, it removes defeat. 1 John 5:4
Myth: If I have Jesus, I would avoid problems!
Remove fantasy, fallacy, fairy tale, falsehood out of it!
Easy life is not testament of your great faith!
Faith is not bridge over stormy waters but path through them!
Myth: If I have Jesus, I would avoid fire. If I got fire, I lost Jesus!
What killed the strongest men of Babylon, loosed the strongest men of God.
Faith does protects from getting burned, but it can help you get cleansed. Romans 8:28
Faith is when you don’t die, stay, and smell fire!
Jesus first removes the fear, then the problem. Psalm 23:4
What paralysis does to the body, fear does to the soul.
You can’t walk through the valley unless you deal with fear.
I am not fearful because I am brave, I am fearless because I am not alone.
2. Faith can’t be greater than your view of Jesus.
Mary knew something about Jesus others did not!
Her view was based on what God told her, not based on what she saw Jesus do!
Don’t change your view, God is about to change your life!
Let your view be defined by what He said, not by what He did not do!
Is your Jesus turns water into wine, or turns wine into water?
Jesus is so not religious, that religion could not stand him, and crucified Him.
What if it brings me to sin. I don’t want to choke, so I will not use fork.
Jesus is not limited to needs but dreams!
The best way to help those in need is not to reduce dreams but reach them. Criminals don’t struggle with that.
Your need is someone’s luxury. I don’t want to be known for my prosperity but for my generosity.
3. Faith can’t flourish if it’s not flexible.
Timing and ways is flexible. Miracle is sure!
You can’t His wine your way!
If it’s not flexible, it will be frustrating.
When and how is less important than what! Namaan
Be servant, keep your opinions to yourself, be obedient!
There is more than one way to make wine!
