; Matthew 17:20, NKJV; Hebrews 11:17, NKJVWhat is Faith? (Hebrew 11:1-3, NKJV)
Faith is believing something is so when it’s not so until it is so! Faith has substance. Substance brings Stability and Hope is the confident expectation of a positive future in spite of your present circumstances because our hope, foundation, and substance are in Jesus Christ. Faith has Substance and that Substance is Jesus Christ. (Matthew 7:24, NKJV; Matthew 7:25, NKJV; Matthew 16:18, NKJV)
There are two results that are evident when we have the right faith: The right Faith has the right Substance which results in Stability. When our Faith has the right Substance, we are Steadfast! (1 Corinthians 15:58. NKJV)
Faith has Evidence. (Hebrews 11:1-3, NKJV)
You can’t see Jesus physically, but you can see Jesus spiritually. (Matthew 5:8, NKJV) You will see the evidence of God and His working. When your faith is right it’s Evident by the way you see others. (Titus 1:15, TLB; Job 16:19, NKJV)
Faith is Framed by the Word of God. (Hebrews 11:1-3, NKJV)
The things you see were not framed by the Word of God. If God speaks it, it comes about. Three steps to help us frame God’s Word in our life: If you want to increase your faith, increase the Word of God. (Romans 10:17, NKJV) Trust God’s Word. (2 Peter 1:4) Ask God to increase our faith. (Luke 17:5-6, NKJV; John 1:1, NKJV)
The Monster’s Master Plan to Master Your Mind
What does the Enemy do?
The enemy tries to shape our thinking –one rock at a time until we are imprisoned to the lies. The enemy’s goal is to place distance between you and God by getting you to depart from the Truth. (John 8:44, NKJV; Romans 3:4, TLB; 1 John 2:26-27, TLB) If we abide in the Truth (Jesus), believe the Truth, and obey the Truth Satan has no power over us.
Lies Satan wants you to believe:
Not to trust Jesus and those who love you the most.
Believe we will never be successful. (Joshua 1:8-9, NKJV)
God does not care about me—God is holding out on me. (John 3:16-17, NKJV; James 1:17, NKJV)
Don’t tell anyone you are struggling, or they will object you. (James 5:16, NKJV; Matthew 18:20, NKJV; Deuteronomy 32:30, NKJV)
How do we defeat the Enemy?
Intentionally change what you think by taking your mind and thoughts captive. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5, NKJV) Our life is a reflection of our thought life—change your thinking and you will change your life. (Proverbs 23:7, NKJV) Focus on God’s promises, not the problem—you will become fearless. (2 Peter 1:4, NKJV)
Simple steps to help us defeat the strongholds in our life.
Identify and admit your stronghold—we cannot defeat what we cannot define. Claim the Truth or Promise that demolishes that stronghold. (Ephesians 6:15-17, NCV) Believe the Truth over the lies. (Hebrews 11:6, NKJV)
