#145 Canada Spirit of Faith

Zechariah 9:11-12 “As for you also, Because of the blood of your covenant, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit. Return to the stronghold, You prisoners of hope. Even today I declare That I will restore double to you.”

Romans 15:13 (Message) “Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!

Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Hope:– To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment.
(elpis) :– joyful and confident expectation of good.

Romans 4:17-18 “… in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”

Romans 4:17-18 (The Message) “We call Abraham “father” not because he got God’s attention by living like a saint, but because God made something out of Abraham when he was a nobody … When everything was hopeless, Abraham believed anyway, deciding to live not on the basis of what he saw he couldn’t do but on what God said he would do.”

Abraham crossed over into a realm where no man had gone before. Creative Glory Realm
A less than perfect man began to operate out of the same life force as God. A man lifted up in the sight of God doing the God sort of stuff.

Romans 10:10 “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”

Heart is your believing mechanism.
Must have a liberated spirit of faith operating on the inside of you.

2 Corinthians 4:13 “Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak,…”

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

Climate Of A Heart Of Faith … You determine your climate

1. Heart That Is Always Delightful

Isaiah 64:5 “You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, Who remembers You in Your ways.”
God loves to get around a joyful crowd.

1 Peter 1:8-9 “Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.”

2. Heart That Is Always Dreaming

Proverbs 23:7 “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”

You are moving in the direction of your dominant thoughts. Your imagination is a self-fulfilling prophecy.

3. Heart That Is Always Determined

Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

God is good!
God has only good plans for me!
God wants to give me good things!
God wants me to enjoy life!

4. Heart That Is Decisive

Psalm 37:23 NLT “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.”

Make up your mind. Get yourself in gear. Get your foot in the air and God will bring it down.

5. Heart That Is Always Demanding

Luke 11:8 “…he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence.
Isaiah 45:11 “…and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.”
God wants you to ask and keep on asking!

6. Heart That Is Always Declaring

1 Samuel 16:36 “Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them,…”

Job 22:28 “You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.”

7. Heart That Is Always Daring

2 Samuel 23:11 “But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the LORD brought about a great victory.”

Take a risk … stand in your field!
