Adventures of Faith

Don’t keep shut, speak! Many believers don’t yet grasp the full concept of biblical faith, faith beyond believing to giving action to what you believe, and the primary action of faith is speaking out what you believe. There is no such thing as a quiet faith, you are either in faith and speaking out or you are just mentally accenting to the word of God. When the word of God takes over your spirit and you keep pouring on the word, faith will be birthed in your heart and your confession will show it. 1 Corinthians 4:13. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believe and therefore have I spoken. We also believe and therefore we speak. The Spirit of faith is a speaking spirit, and you are not yet in faith until you are speaking out what you believe, attesting to the word of God concerning you. We cannot overemphasize the need to speak the word of God when you are in faith, your mind in the natural will try to reason out your faith and give you a t...

Take it! That’s exactly what you have to do if you want to obtain healing. In fact, in every area of life obtaining the victory boils down to one thing: Just take God at His Word. What He says-what is written in His Word-is the absolute truth and it really will work if we will only take hold of it. The fact of the matter is, healing is no problem for the Lord. The only hard part is getting people to believe what He has said about it so they can receive their healing. God has given each of us the choice. He said it this way: “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19). We must choose to take what God has offered. And we must do that-“by force” Matthew 11:12 says. If you need a healing, you can’t sit back and wait for God to drop it down on you. You have to do what it takes so you can rise up in faith and take what rightfully belongs to you! Taking requires active faith. Having ...

For better understanding, please, read the previous article on How to study the Bible I When starting out, spend the majority of your time in the New Testament (primarily in the letters the Apostle Paul wrote to the early churches). In light of this, we suggest you look for and underline phrases such as "in Him," "in Whom" and "in Christ." These phrases are found 134 times in The New Testament from Acts to Revelation. Every one of them has something to offer you personally because according to Ephesians 2:6, you are in Christ! Make what God says the authority in your life. That means we shouldn't just believe what God says to us in His Word, but we should also act on it. Acting on it is what pro­duces results (Matthew 7:24-27). Part of act­ ing on the Word includes speaking it. You will find that what you really believe in your heart is what you speak all the time-and what you speak determines what happens in your life (Mark 11:23). Once...

As believers, most of us have probably heard over and over how important it is for us to study the Word of God. But all too often we don't really understand why and consequently have a difficult time really getting started. So before we get into the how-tos of Bible study, let's look at why studying the Word is vital to our Christian growth and maturity. What a majority of Christians don't realize is that the Word of God is alive! The Word can really affect and have a life-changing impact on your day-to-day living. God reveals Himself through His Word. As He reveals Himself to you, you can expect your life to change because you are getting to know God Himself, not just about Him. The reason we study the Bible is that we may know God, know His ways and walk in them. Then we can truly live a successful Christian life. The Bible is a personal message from Almighty God Himself-straight from heaven -to you. The main theme of this message is Jesus-even in the Old Testament...

The Story Behind Brother Copeland’s Papal Visit   On June 23, 2014, Kenneth Copeland, along with James and Betty Robison and other evangelical church leaders, met with the Pope in Rome at the Pope’s request. On June 30, 2014, Kenneth Copeland explained to his Partners and Friends at the Southwest Believers’ Convention the significance of this meeting. He began his talk by reviewing key points and scriptures: In John 17:20-23, Jesus prayed that the body of Christ would be unified: 20 Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, 21 That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me. 22 I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may b...

Topic: Knowing God Text: Phil.3 Memory verse: Hos.6:3 Introduction             Knowing God goes beyond having knowledge about who he is, it includes to be aware of, think of, reflect upon and be mindful of who he is.             It is to have an experiential knowledge of God as against mere intuitional knowledge about him.             The desire to know the Lord is the greatest priority a man can ever set for himself. This is because it is God’s heartfelt desire for all his children to truly come to know him. It is for this purpose that we have been given the Holy Spirit, by whom we are enabled to know the Lord (I Cor. 2:16).             In coming to truly know the Lord, we must have a proper understanding of the subject of righteousness, we must begin t...

TOPIC:                   Following God’s Plan TEXT:                    Jer. 29:1-14 MEM. VERSE:      Jer. 29:11 INTRODUCTION God has given man the power and ability to do all things, except to lead himself (Jer. 10:23-24). Therefore any man attempting to lead himself or walk out of God’s plan is simply acting against the will of God for his life. No man can ever have a better plan for himself than the one God has for him, this is because God is much more eager to bless us than we are desirous for His blessing.  Hence, it becomes absolutely necessary for us to understand and follow God’s plan, because therein lies our prosperity and well being. EVALUATIONS 1. Nature of God’s Plan: (a) God’s plan is perfect – Gen. 1:31 (b) God’s plan always enjoys God’s provision – I Kings 17:2-6, Neh. 2:5-8 (c...
