2018.11.11-2 Living By Faith "Where Do I Start?" Part 3

Intro

If you can see it’s not faith

Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led - but it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of FAITH, not of understanding and reason- - a life of knowing Him who calls us to go. - Oswald Chambers

The walk of Faith is to live according to the revelation we have received, in the midst of the mysteries we can't explain.

Bill Johnson

When you decide to walk by faith, you don't get rid of trials. You learn to overcome them.

Kenneth Copeland

Faith means believing the unbelievable.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Last week, would you really have gotten out of the boat?

Be Committed 1. Unbelief: Trying to Run from Our Problems (Ruth 1:1–5)

How do you walk by faith? By claiming the promises of God and obeying the Word of God, in spite of what you see, how you feel, or what may happen. It means committing yourself to the Lord and relying wholly on Him to meet the need.

Question: How do you walk by faith?

Just because you have a gameplan, doesn’t mean you understand the play you’re running. Noah,

It was his faith that got to even mobilize his family.

What is God calling you to do that

You haven’t lived until you’ve had some relationships. I want to suggest that old, painful relationships have kept you from living your best life.

Q: Who qualifies to live by faith?

A: YOU!

Math is introduced in Pre K.

I don’t care where you are in life…your walk with God, you quailfy.

Take away- God assigns people to you to help you get to where you’re going. God also prohibts people from joining you on the journey to where you are going.

Middrash - ancient commentary. Fox, CNN, Headline, Roland Martin all provide commentary on what’s happening in America. It dates back to 2AD. The answer to my long asked question “Why didn’t God want his daddy to go with him?”

Take your excuses from you:

It’s not about how much you have or don’t have

It’s b/c you understand or don’t understand

You don’t know how it’s going to turn out.

To walk by faith requires your choice

There’s always a goal. even if it’s “ill show you.Must have a goal

Must have a goal

Remind myself of the goal

Must have a goal

Get good at swiping right or swiping left on people

Precautious - people who don’t have the same intentions as you.l

Guard your thoughts: the time you failed - what i don’t have - what i dont see

Remind myself of the goal

Faith is an action word. Still hoping, walking, progressing, wherever there is immobility, there’s lack of progression

It’s not without frustration

It’s not without causualities

God handles detours well

what’s keeping you from moving? If you have a goal, what’s keeping you from moving?

There is a time element in faith.

Set the Record Straight

You only have one way to live “The Just live by faith.”

Q: What’s keeping you from going to the next level?

“If you're not busy living, you're dying.”
