ANB 18, Jesus’ Awesome Promises

Well everyone, today we' re going to talk about how to more see the power of God in your
life. The truth is we should see more and more God in our lives every day. God is all
about increase. We should always be increasing in every good way. We should increase
in our knowledge of Him, faith, love for Him, love for others, Health, prosperity, every
aspect of our lives should continually grow and get better according to His power. God is
not about standing still, He' s about moving on. Philippians 3:13. So let' s look at the
Word today, and if you' ll put these truths to practice in your own lives you will see God'
s
power and love increase in your lives every day. This is one of the most powerful
writings I have ever written.

As we have talked about over and over, our relationship with God is based on our faith in
Christ Jesus. We are made new creations when we are born again.&! nbsp; As new
creations, we have a whole different set of rights and responsibilities in our lives. God'
s
ways are not the world' s ways. So we must learn to walk in God' s ways. We learn this
by studying the Word. But let me say again, IF YOU DON' T BELIEVE WHAT THE
WORD OF GOD SAYS, YOU WILL NOT SEE IT' S RESULTS IN YOUR LIFE. Now
I don't mean believe it how everyone says, "sure I believe it." I mean you have to believe
it where you trust His Word more than you trust anything else, even more than what your
eyes can see. We walk by faith, by God' s Word, not by sight. II Corinthians 5:7.

So let's look at a couple verses, believing what they say more than anything we see in our
lives. If you will believe these verses, you will begin operating on a level only those with
Godly faith can.

1) "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the
power of the enemy: ! and nothing shall by any means hurt you." Luke 10:19

Jesus said "nothing shall by any means hurt you." Do you realize what that means? If
you are in Christ, you have the right never to be hurt again. You don' t have to be hurt
physically, emotionally, mentally or any otherly. You have the Jesus Christ spoken right
to never be hurt. Now you begin walking that out. As soon as you start the devil will try
and hurt you. A person will offend you, you' ll stub your toe, who knows. When it
comes, be ready to confess that verse and say "In the Name of Jesus nothing can hurt
me." Then let it go and take your mind onto something else, preferably, prayer or the
Bible. Remember, it takes time to build up your spiritual muscles, they grow by seed
time and harvest. Begin doing this, and over time your faith will be so built up that not
only does nothing hurt you, but you are so established ! that nothing can even tempt you
to be hurt.

Now look, I know this is craziness to the world. But Spiritual things are foolishness to
worldly people. You decide to let them think your foolish while you walk in the power
of God's promises (this will apply to many things throughout your spiritual life).

2) "Verily, I say unto you, '


if you have the faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say
unto this mountain be removed, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible for
you." Matthew 17:20.

"And Jesus answering said unto them, "Have the faith of God." For verily I say unto you,
'
That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, ' be thou removed,'and shall not doubt in
his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall
have whatsoever he says." Mark 11:22,23

What does Jesus say now? If you hav! e faith nothing is impossible for you. "I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13. You can do anything that
is God' s Will for your life. What is God's Will for your life. Read the Bible and find
out. Then listen to the Holy Spirit to see what He has for your life specifically. Heaven
is a place for overcomers (see Revelation). You will face many mountains in this life, but
through Christ you can move them all. Nothing can stand in your way. Nothing can hurt
or defeat you.

So when you see a mountain, let' s say it'


s fear in your life, or debt or a lack in some area
of your life, begin to speak to it and call it moved in the name of Jesus. Here' s how you
do it, "In the Name of Jesus, I command you (fear, debt, lack, pain, whatever your
mountain is) to be removed from my life. Thank you Jesus. Now any time you see that
mountain cr! eeping up or in your way, you stand on this verse and believe what it
says. Watch it be removed by the Power of God, which gets operational for you
when you put your faith out there. Believe what you say, watch it come to pass.

What does it mean to have the faith of God. You believe what you say will come to
pass. That' s right, God has faith. God has say it and see it faith. Read Genesis 1, God
said, God said, God said, God SAW." God has so much faith His Words must come to
pass, that is why God can' t lie. Put your faith on God's Word, spoken by you, and see
your words come to pass.

3) "What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and
you shall have them." Mark 11:24.

"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name , that will I do, that the Father may be glorified
in the Son." John 14:13

What did Jesus say here? WHA! TEVER you desire, when you pray, if you believe you
received them, you will have them. You must believe you receive them. You must have
faith. How do you get faith, read the Word and stand on it with all you are. Romans
10:17.

Here' s how you do it. "God, I have bad eyesight. I pray for perfect vision. I, according
to Mark 11:24, believe that I receive it right now in the Mighty Name of Jesus. I declare
in Jesus'Name they are perfect, thank You Lord." Now I will be honest with you. This
is a great example. People's eyes don' t get better without God, they get worse. So this is
a miracle. But you may not see this overnight. You must stand on this Word, and any
time your eyes tell you otherwise, you tell them "I walk by faith not by sight, and I
believe I have received my healing." You stand on that Word, you let your faith work,
then that mountain will move, and you will have what you said, and you will receive
what you asked.

Who is the man with faith, the man who gets everything immediately, or the man that
stands on His faith confident He will see the promises of God fulfilled in their season. I
tell you the second man' s faith will be the far greater, and will grow as it strengthens over
time.

4) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do
also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." John
14:12.

Read the Gospels, see what Jesus did on this earth. You have the authority to do all of
this. The key is you must have faith. You must believe you have this authority. Jesus
has given us the authority on this earth. Begin walking it out. Begin living in your God
given authority. Praise the Lord.

Just sit back for a second and marvel at the awesome promises of God. We are to operate
by these laws, not the laws of sin and death that would hold us down in this wold. We
are CHRISTIANS. We have the power and authority of Christ Jesus Himself. We are
overcomers, we are more than conquerors.

Here you have several promises from Jesus Himself. If you believe He died and rose
again for you, then you should believe His Words were for you too. If you are confident
you are saved, you should be confident that Jesus'Words will work just as His sacrifice
did. Salvation is not only salvation from Hell, but a power and equipping to walk out this
life as a conqueror, not as one subject to the world (Romans 8). Believe Jesus'promises,
operate in them, you will see the power of God in your life. God' s Word promises this.
