My Faith Is Changing Me!
Confession of Faith
I am not moved by what I see or by what I feel.
I am moved by what I believe.
I believe the WORD of God!
The victory is mine!
I have it now!
I can see it through the eyes of my faith!
Introduction:
How does faith change a person’s focus and perspective?
Last Week We Talked about having a life of Thanks Living - Giving God Praise for what he does for each of us
This week we are going to look at the Faith needed to change our perspective on how we live - what we do, and our focus on what’s important!

Knowing this I can allow my faith to change me – Knowing this I can operate my life so that My Faith empowers me to dream big, to seek after God in all things,
To know that all things are possible,
To accomplish things for the Kingdom of God that most people only day dream about.
There is a song says: Only what you do for Christ will last.
Some of the verses say,
You may build great cathedrals large or small, you can build skyscrapers grand and tall, but only what you do for Christ will last….
You may seek earthly power and fame, the world might be impressed by your great name, soon the glories of this life will all be past, but only what you do for Christ will last.
Remember only what You do for Christ will last.
Only what you do for Him will be counted at the end; only what you do for Christ will last.
Faith : the patriarch's faith was a faith that endured, that forever sought an unseen, heavenly country.
They all believed what God had promised.
They had to accept them by faith.
Believing the promises of God, having hope not in themselves, but in Jesus.
This was so they could posses what God had promised.
My Faith is changing Me
To have that life changing faith – You must have visionary faith
4 types of Faith
Visionary Faith
1. Their faith was a visionary faith.
They saw the promises of God afar off, not by sight but in their hearts and minds.
Faith helps us to see and understand the promises of God.
2. Growing Faith
Thought 1.
How much more we can see and understand the promises of God.
Christ has already come once.
To believe that He shall return is much easier than Abraham believing that He was coming the first time.
Abraham had no precedent, whereas we do.
⇒ They saw the promise of God and were thankful to God for the privilege of seeing it.
11/13/2011 1 Pastor Ken Williams
⇒ They were persuaded of the promises of God.
They believed that the promises were true!
How does faith change a person’s focus and perspective?
They believed that God was going to give it to them what he said.
They believed in God and that what God promised He was going to fulfill.
⇒ They embraced the promises.
The word means to greet and welcome.
They were ever so thankful and appreciative to God!
They rejoiced and loved the promise, setting their eyes upon it and not looking away.
3. Working Faith
Their faith was a working faith.
They actively sought after what God had promised and declared it to everyone they talked to
⇒ They did not just sit back and talk about the promises!
Thinking that God would just give it to them when it was time.
⇒ They did no go on about their lives upon this earth ignoring the promises, thinking that they weren’t good enough!
These people of Faith actively sought after the promises.
They got up and went looking for it, leaving the world and its possessions behind.
By their separation from the world and seeking after God's promises, they declared plainly that they were men and women of true faith.
4.
An Enduring Faith
4. Their faith was an enduring faith.
They never returned to what they were or use to do.
They had separated from the world and began a search for the promise of God and they stayed on the search.
Simply stated, You must keep your their mind and thoughts on the promises.
⇒ They did not harbor the thoughts of the old world's pleasures and desires, possessions and indulgences, feelings and comforts.
⇒ They did not return to the old world when they had the chance.
⇒ The patriarchs endured to the end.
In fact, they went to their grave believing in the great hope of God for the promises
Faith— Reward: the reward of the patriarchs.
Their reward was twofold:
1.
They received God's approval.
God is not ashamed to be called their God.
God is acting now; it is today that He is unashamed.
He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob today, and He is not ashamed to be called their God.
God loves and commits Himself to all who believe Him and His promises.
He is not ashamed and never will be ashamed of those who confess that they seek Him!
2. They received the promised land.
God prepared a city for them, a heavenly city that will last forever and ever.
