Faith Without Works Is Futile!
Faith Without Works Is Futile!
We know that from every action, there will be a consequence, reaction, or some form of activity responding to the action given!
God says; “Jeremiah 29:11 “11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Very familiar and popular text, but do we realize that God says and He does? God will act, but have you gone farther to see what actions are required from you?
Jeremiah 29:12–14“12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.”
Are you just waiting on Me to do everything, or are you going to go forward on The Word I just spoke to you?
I hear you saying it with your mouth, but your feet are still in the same place?
Matthew 15:8 “8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me.”
The world systems has wrecked havoc on the minds, causing man to accept things and ways, which God did not intend for man to go in, or become. So I had to talk to God about this, asking Him why is it this way:
It is sad when a lady can say something on the internet, and she goes “Viral” as the world calls it.
But I can speak God’s Word, and it barely receives 80 views, or 100 likes - Which is expected becasue the world cannot comprehend Spiritual things because it does not want to!
God said to me; “Son, you just keep speaking and doing what I called you to do, and don’t worry about what happens on the left or the right, just keep your eyes on Me!”
Thank You LORD! Because God spoke to me, and let me know that “going viral” is not Him Manifesting His Word of Truth in the earth.
You see, many want to go “viral” not realizing what causes a viral outbreak - a virus - which is a poisonous substance, which there seemingly is no cure for particular viruses, and most just have to run it’s course! Going viral is a result of a virus - A poisonous substance, and many will be the lie because the enemy has caused a strong delusion to be sent!
Many will flocked to popularity, but will not come when a clarion call has been made to celebrate The Lord in the beauty of His Holiness!
I had been chasing status for most of my career, but realize that my status is already good, in God! Because I know Him and have accepted Him, my status changed for the better and is always good in God!
Yes, I know I have blemishes on my record, but I have repented from that type of thinking and have turned to knowing that God is for me, He is more than the whole world against me!
You see, many just want to believe, which is not enough for this season (God told me to tell you this) because in this season, you need to KNOW that He is there! James 2:19 “19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!”
And this is where many lose sight of The Word of God, because Romans 10:14–17 “14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Watch this:
If The Lord sent through me, a declaration for everyone in here to sow a $200 seed right now, what is your response?
Our first response is to judge The Word coming from The Preacher, who God sent, preaching peace, and bringing tidings of Good Things!
I need 20 people to bring a $200 seed Thursday Night, thus says The Lord!
I have already sowed $760 into the vision, but we still have to pay bills. . . Which I pay some of them myself. . .
“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God!”
God said it, do you believe it?
Action Required - You can’t move forward until you perform this specific tasks!
The reason so many get stuck is that the first inclination is that they have to do the entire themselves, but do you ever go further in your thinking, believing that if I can get 10 people to give me $20, then I will have mine. Or 20 people to give me $10 - no, we stop when we hear the amount! James 2:17–18“17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”
Many just want to check the proverbial “I Went To Church” box, not realizing your call requires action!
Faith is an action - Faith is your response to God’s Word and His Actions! God has made the call, what is your response? What do you do when He says do? Genesis 12:1–4 “1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” 4 So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.”
Futile = Empty - Have you ever heard of empty promises? Me too! And regardless of what we say, or want to convey over to others, if our actions do not align with our words, then our faith will be viewed as empty, thus permeating a false worship!
Yes, I understand some mean well, and there are times it will may not seem fair, because your desire to do, may not align with opportunity, but at some point, I need to faith my way thru it because the call is greater than my emotions! Hebrews 11:1 “1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
It does not have to be noticed, or present, before I act upon it! I know God, and I know His Word is faithful and True, so I rest in what He said!
I am not looking to go viral, only looking to get His Word into the universe, so that His Word can do the work!
God told Abraham to move - and Abraham moved in The Word of God, which is why Abraham was blessed. . . Moving in God will cost you something, which you don’t have to keep record of, God knows your heart and your every move, just Psalm 46:10 “10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Even when it seems as if every thing you do, seems to not be the right thing, but I know that God is perfecting those things that concerns me. . .
The enemy sends many delusions, attempting to tempt me away from The Knowledge of God, but I hold fast to the profession of my faith in Him, for I know that God is working for me, a more excellent reward, so I carry on - Action Required!
Jesus said, I came so that you may have life, and that life more abundantly, but in order to experience this abundant life, it will cost you something, you will have to suffer as He suffered, knowing that the sufferings of this present moment are not worthy to be compared to the Glory that is being revealed!
Yes, I have a testimony and many may look at your testimony and say you should have given up on God! But how can I give up Him, when He has brought me out of the darkness into His Marvelous light! I am not dead, I am alive, so my faith is working because I am moving and I have a praise that will reach heaven because He is Good!
