Commendable Faith

Matthew 8:5-10

Faith is necessary to please God.
Hebrews 11:6
Faith is necessary for spiritual achievement and godly impact.

We see different types of faith manifested in scripture.
Faith when used or released will always bring results.
Luke 17:6
Faith can work through contact, contact with an anointed vessel or object. The vessel can be an anointed person of God and the object can be a point of contact like a prayer cloth or mantle.
Matthew 9:20-22
Some also use the anointing oil or water as a point of contact to release faith. This is not wrong if God has instructed it or directed a ministry or man/woman of God that way.

Faith can work or be released through the mouth too.
Job 22:28
We see in the account of creation from the book of Genesis 1, God released faith through His spoken Word.
The world was created by faith, God's faith.
Hebrews 11:3
God expresses faith through His words - He calls forth the things that be not as though they were.
Hebrews 11:3
The woman with the issue of blood received her miracle through a point of contact - the hem of Jesus's garment.
Matthew 9:20

A dead man came back to life through a point of contact - the bones of the prophet Elisha.
2 Kings 13:21
Jesus was a point of contact when He walked the earth- He was and is man's point of contact to heaven/the kingdom of God, the Father, miracles, and salvation
John 14:6
The apostle Paul used handkerchiefs and aprons as points of contact.
Acts 19:11,12
The pool of Bethesda was a point of contact for healing for whoever  got into it first
John 5: 1-4
Points of contacts are God's wisdom and a divine way of releasing faith. We see this from the Bible.

As wonderful as the release of faith is through a point of contact, it is not the faith God praised or commended.

The faith God commends in the scripture is the faith of believing the Word without anything tangible to hold or make contact with.
This is the kind of faith God created the world with.
Genesis 1.
Raw faith in the spoken word pleases God and brings God's commendation.
It is the kind of faith that believes the Word although there is no physical result to hold unto or see.
John 20:29

The faith that God commends is the faith that believes God's word delivers without needing any help.
This type of faith believes God's word is enough.
It is the type of faith that makes a person believe God said it, I believe it, that settles it.

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
