DEPENDENT
“But as it is written: “Eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man THE
THINGS WHICH GOD HATH PREPARED for those who love
Him…” (1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV).
*
A DEPENDENT is someone who RELIES on another for some kind of
support assistance, or supply. The support, assistance, or supplies, for the
dependent, are necessary. The dependent can’t rely on their strength, alone, to
meet their own needs.
A dependent usually cannot sustain themselves without the help of
another. A dependent has to rely on the voluntary and willful assistant of someone
else’s benevolence.
A dependent, therefore, is NOT self-sustaining and is at the mercy
of caregivers, family, friends, strangers, paid professionals, or other types
of companions for their support or supply.
Commonly, a dependent is a child, parent, or spouse, but it can
also be someone who is disabled, sick, jobless, elderly, or helpless.
A dependent’s very existence and ability to survive is contingent
on someone or something else. A dependent is the total opposite of someone who
is self-autonomous
Remember a self-autonomous
person thinks of themselves as self-sufficient and not controlled by forces
outside of themselves.
A self-autonomous
person believes they do not need assistance, support, or anyone to help them
supply “their” needs.
The autonomous person
is aware they have human will and therefore, have the ability to make choices
or do whatever they please, with their lives, without outside interference.
An autonomous person
relies on themselves, but a dependent relies on something or someone else.
ALL TRUE BELIEVERS ARE
DEPENDENTS. Depending on God through Jesus Christ is foundational for the
Christian life. “….Without faith it is impossible to please God…” (Hebrews 11:6 KJV). “…Trust in the Lord with all thine heart…”
(Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).
Christ informs believers, “…[They] can do all things THROUGH Christ which strengtheneth [them]…” (Philippians
4:13 KJV). “…The righteous will live by his faith…”
(Habakkuk 2:4 NASB).
“… [You] live by
the faith of the
Son of God.
…” (Galatians 2:20
KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [you] he
doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The believer is empowered by the
indwelling Spirit of faith to DEPEND on God for everything. “ The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, FAITH, Meekness, temperance…”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The
Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “….Apart from Me, you
can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…The Son …sustaining ALL THINGS by his powerful word…”
(Hebrews 1:3 NIV). “…in him (Jesus) ALL THINGS hold
together…” (Colossians 1:7 NIV).
The believers DEPENDENCE upon the
indwelling Spirit of Faith begin with
salvation. “…BY GRACE have ye been saved through (by way of)… FAITH; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD; not of works, that no man should glory…”
(Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…So
the promise (salvation) is received by faith…” (Romans 4:16 NLT). “…we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand
(salvation)…” (Romans 5:2 NASB). “…the
promise (of salvation comes) by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those
who believe…” (Galatians 3:22 NASB). “…The Father that dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The believer depends upon the indwelling Spirit of Faith to enable their hearts
to be cleansed. “…cleansing their hearts
by faith…”
(Acts 15:9 NASB). “…I WILL GIVE you a NEW heart,
and I will put a NEW SPIRIT in you…”
(Ezekiel 36:26 NLT). “…The Father that dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The believer depends upon the indwelling Spirit of Faith to enable their sanctification.
“…who
have been sanctified by faith in Me…” (Acts 26:18 NASB). “… The God of peace Himself SANCTIFY
you ENTIRELY…” (1 Thessalonians 5:23 NASB). “…The Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…The Father
that dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
The
believer depends upon the indwelling Spirit
of Faith to empower faith. “The
fruit of the Spirit is …FAITH…”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The
Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…The righteous will
live by
his faith…”
(Habakkuk 2:4 NASB).
“…The
righteous man shall live
by faith…”
(Romans 1:7 NASB). “… [They] walk by faith…”
(2 Corinthians 5:7 NASB). “...[They] live
by faith
in the Son of God…” (Galatians 2:20 NASB). “… [They] live; yet not [it is
NOT them], but
Christ liveth IN [THEM]…”
(Galatians 2:20 KJV). “…For it is God
who WORKS IN [THEM]…”
(Philippians 2:13 NIV). “…The Father that dwelleth in [them] he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The believer depends upon the indwelling Spirit of Faith to enable their justification.
“…A man is justified by faith…” (Romans 3:28 NASB). “…Ye are JUSTIFIED
in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by
the SPIRIT of our GOD…” (1
Corinthians 6:9-11 KJV). “…The
Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…The Father (the
SPIRIT) that dwelleth in [them] he doeth
the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The believer
depends upon the indwelling Spirit of
Faith to enable a right relationship with him. “…A
right relationship with
God that comes by faith…”
(Romans 4:13 NASB). “…A person is made right
with God by faith
in Jesus Christ…” (Galatians 2:16 NLT). “…The Father (the SPIRIT) that
dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
The
believer depends upon the indwelling Spirit
of Faith to enable righteousness. “…The
righteousness which is by faith…” (Romans 9:30 NASB). “…I am the Lord who …brings …righteousness to the earth…” (Jeremiah 9:23-24 NLT). “….not
having a righteousness of my own … but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the
basis of faith…” (Philippians 3:9 NASB). “…The Father (the
SPIRIT) that dwelleth in [you] he doeth
the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The believer depends upon the indwelling Spirit of Faith to obtain the promises
in HIS Word. “…[The Spirit of]
FAITH COMETH by hearing … the word of God”
(Roman 10:17 KJV) “… [The
Spirit of] FAITH IS the
substance (certainty) of things hoped for…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). “… [The Spirit of] FAITH IS … the evidence (PROOF) of things not seen…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). “…The Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “This is the confidence that we have in
him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth
us…” (1 John 5:14 KJV). “…He has granted to [you]…
His precious and magnificent promises…” (2 Peter 1:4 NASB). “…As many as are the promises of God,
in Him they are yes …also … Amen …” (2 Corinthians 1:20 NASB). “…Not one of the good
promises which the Lord had made … failed; all came to pass…” (Joshua 21:45 NASB).
God is
“…watching over [his[… word to perform it…”
(Jeremiah 1:12 NASB). “…So
shall [his]… word be that goeth forth out of [his]… mouth: it shall not return unto [him]… void, but it
shall accomplish that which [God]… please[s], and it shall prosper in the thing whereto
[God]… sent it…” (Isaiah 55:11 KJV). “…The Father (the SPIRIT) that
dwelleth in [them] he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
The believer depends
upon the indwelling Spirit of Faith
to enable them to get their needs met. “…My God will supply all [my need]… according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus…” (Philippians
4:19 NASB). “…what is the riches of the glory…; …CHRIST IN YOU…”
(Colossians 1:25-28 KJV). “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…Christ in you, …” (Colossians 1:27 KJV). “…The Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…The Father (the SPIRIT) that
dwelleth in [them] he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
The believer depends upon the indwelling Spirit of Faith for the awaited eternal
life. “…We through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of
righteousness…” (Galatians 5:5 NASB). “…And in the world to come that person will have eternal life…” (Mark
10:28-31 NLT). “…And being made perfect, he became author of eternal salvation
unto all them who obey him…” (Hebrew
5:7-8-9 KJV). “…The Father
(the SPIRIT) that dwelleth in [you] he
doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The indwelling Holy Spirit of Faith, empowers the believer
to depend on God
for EVERY spiritual PROVISION and NEED! “…But
the fruit of the Spirit… FAITH…”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…God hath dealt
to every man THE
measure of FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). “…That great Shepherd of the sheep, EQUIP you with everything good [the Spirit of Faith,]… for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ…”
(Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “… [God] … grant[s]… you, according to the
riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his
Spirit in the inner man…” (Ephesians
3:16 KJV). “For it is
God which worketh IN YOU both to
will (choose) and to do (live BY his
faith) of his good pleasure”
(Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…The Father (the SPIRIT) that
dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
God KNOWS he is dependable, so HE won’t
try to prove he is dependable and God is
NOT to be tested. “…Don’t you dare test
the Lord your God…” (Matthew 4:7
MSG). “…Do not put the Lord your God to the test…”
(Matthew 4:7 NIV). “…You must not test
the Lord your God…” (Matthew 4:7
NLT).
The believer is motivated to depend on God
through the indwelling Spirit of Faith.
“…That great
Shepherd of the sheep, EQUIP you with everything
good [the Spirit of Faith,]… for doing his will…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…The Father (the SPIRIT) that
dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
However, the believer voluntarily and
willfully CHOOSES to HEAR the Word of God in order to be empowered, by the
indwelling Spirit of Faith, to depend
on God. “… I have set before you life and
death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life…” (Deuteronomy 30:19) “…Jesus said… I am the LIFE…..”
(John 11:25 KJV). “…Choose
you
this day whom ye will serve….” (Joshua 24:15 KJV). “…It shall be done to you according to your faith (according your
indwelling faith)…" (Matthew 9:29 NASB). “…[The Spirit of] FAITH COMETH by hearing … the word of God”
(Roman 10:17 KJV) “… [The
Spirit of] FAITH IS the
substance (certainty) of things hoped for…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). “… [The Spirit of] FAITH IS … the evidence (PROOF) of things not seen…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). “…It shall be done to you according to your faith…"
(Matthew 9:29 NASB).
Jesus sets you free
from sin. “..Who will free me from this
life that is dominated by sin?
…” (Romans
7:14-25 NLT). “…The answer is in Jesus Christ our
Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).
“…if the Son…shall make you FREE, ye shall be FREE
indeed.” (John 8:36 KJV).
****************
When Jesus FREES you
from sin, he OPENS the human heart, he pours HIS Spirit into your heart and he ENABLES
you to respond to the gospel. “…One
of those listening …was a worshiper of God. The Lord OPENED
her heart to respond to Paul's message…” (Act
16:14 NIV). “…God …sent
forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO” [Y]OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6
NASB). “…God has given [you] HIS Spirit as PROOF
that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1
John 4:13 NLT). “…The
Spirit of God dwell[s] in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “It is God which
worketh IN YOU…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…The
righteous will live by “his” faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…The Father (the
SPIRIT) that dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…God
[is the ONE who has GIVEN] to every man THE measure of FAITH…”
(Romans 12:3 NIV). “…BY GRACE have ye been saved through… FAITH; and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD; not of works,
that no man should glory…”
(Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…This is the work of God, that ye believe
on Him...” (John 6:28-29 KJV). “It is God
which worketh IN YOU…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…The Father that dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…The righteous will live by “his” faith…”
(Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…by the grace of God I am what I am…” (1
Corinthians 15:10 NIV). You
can say: “… [I NOW]
live by the
faith of
the Son of God.
…” (Galatians 2:20
KJV).
Therefore, “…A
right relationship with God that comes by faith…” (Romans 4:13 NASB). “…A person is made right with God by faith in
Jesus Christ…” (Galatians 2:16 NLT).
The indwelling Spirit of
Faith becomes activated from hearing the gospel and the gospel is “…the POWER (All of God’s
ability) of God unto salvation to everyone
that believeth…” (Romans 1:16 KJV). “…[The] Good News about Christ. It is the power
(ALL of God’s ability) of God at work (through HIS HOLY SPIRIT, the servant
worker of ALL of God’s ability), saving everyone who believes…”
(Romans 1:16 NLT).
Jesus Christ is the
“good news” and by listening to it (also the WORD) and learning from it; God
WILL draw you to himself. “…And I, if I
(Jesus, the Word) be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me….”
(John 12:32 KJV). “…This is the work of
God, that ye believe on Him...” (John 6:28-29 KJV). “…The Father …
he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
NO
ONE can come to God UNLESS he draws them. “… No man can come to me, EXCEPT the Father which
hath sent me draw him…” (John 6:44). Drawing YOU “depends” on the Father.
However, everyone “who HEARS” and “learns” about God, will come to him "It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY
SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Every one that hath HEARD and hath LEARNED
of the Father, cometh to me…” (John
6:45 KJV). “…No
one can come to Me unless the Father
who sent Me draws him…” (John 6:44 KJV). “…No
man can come unto me, except it were
given unto him of my Father…” (John 6:65 KJV). “…John answered and said, A man can receive
nothing, except
it be given him from heaven…” (John 3:27 KJV). “…He
(Jesus) went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one
can come to me unless the Father has enabled
them…” (John 6:65 NIV). Yet
“…Every one that hath HEARD and hath
LEARNED of
the Father, cometh to me…” (John
6:45 KJV).
Again, EVERYONE
who HEARS and LEARNS of the “good news” of the gospel will come to him. “…Every one that hath HEARD and hath LEARNED of the Father, cometh to me…” (John
6:45 KJV). “…Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God” (Roman 10:17 KJV). “…One
of those listening
…was a worshiper of God. The Lord OPENED
her heart to respond to Paul's message…” (Act
16:14 NIV). “…BY GRACE have ye been
saved through… FAITH; and
that NOT
OF YOURSELVES, IT
IS THE GIFT OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…This
is the work of God, that ye believe on Him...” (John
6:28-29 KJV). “…by the grace of God I am what I am…”
(1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
The Spirit of Faith COMES when it HEARS the WORD
or the “good news.” When it COMES the Spirit
of Faith enables YOU to experience the “…power
of God unto salvation…”
(Romans 1:16 KJV). “…This is the work of God, that
ye believe on Him...”
(John 6:28-29 KJV). “…Every one that hath HEARD and hath LEARNED
of the Father, cometh
to me…” (John 6:45 KJV). “…No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him…”
(John 6:44 KJV). “…The Lord OPENED her heart to respond to
Paul's message…” (Act 16:14 NIV). “…God …[sends] forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO” [Y]OUR
HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…BY GRACE have ye been saved through…
FAITH; and
that NOT
OF YOURSELVES, IT
IS THE GIFT OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven…” (John 3:27 KJV).
Therefore, “…A right relationship with God that comes by faith…”
(Romans 4:13 NASB). “…A person is made
right with God by
faith in Jesus Christ…” (Galatians 2:16 NLT). “…BY
GRACE have ye been saved through… FAITH;
and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, it is the gift of God; NOT OF WORKS, that
no man should glory…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
It ALL “DEPENDS” on the Work of God!!
The dry bones in Ezekiel chapter 37 was ENABLED
to live again when they HEARD the WORD “…He asked
me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I said, “Sovereign Lord, you alone know.” Then he said to me,
“Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘dry bones, hear the word of the
lord! ….So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying,
there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone
to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them
and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then …breath entered them; they came to life
and stood up on their feet—a vast army...’”
(Ezekiel 37 NIV). .“…Faith cometh by hearing …the word of God”
(Roman 10:17 KJV).
The Spirit
of Faith is given by God as a gift. “…it is the gift of God …” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). You
cannot earn a gift and usually a gift is unexpected or it wouldn’t be a gift.
The bible clearly emphasizes the Spirit of Faith as a “gift of God” - starting with salvation -
and eliminates any misunderstanding that the glory and credit goes to any BUT
God. “…it is the gift of God; NOT OF WORKS, that no man should glory…”
(Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
No “man
should glory” or boast that they did ANYTHING to obtain salvation. “…BY
GRACE have ye been saved through… FAITH;
and that NOT OF YOURSELVES, it is the gift of God; NOT OF WORKS, that
no man should glory…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
Because of the finished work of Christ on the
cross are you saved through the Spirit of
Faith. “…Even when we were dead in our transgressions, MADE US alive together]with Christ (by grace you have been saved), ….and
might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put
to death the enmity…” (Ephesians 2:5, 16 NASB).
“…God
hath dealt (GIVEN)… to every man THE measure of FAITH…”
(Romans 12:3 NIV). “…it is the gift of God …” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “… [One of]… the fruit of the Spirit… is…FAITH…”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).
Apostle Paul provides
an example of how he obtained the “Spirit
of faith” and totally understood it was gifted to him by God via saving grace.
“…Even though I was once a blasphemer and
a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance
and unbelief. The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, ALONG WITH FAITH and love that are in Christ Jesus…”
(1 Timothy 1:13-14 NIV).
The Spirit of Faith is a Gift of saving
GRACE. The Spirit of Faith is the
work which God originates in us, performs through us, and sustains for us. “…This
is the work of God, that ye believe on Him...” (John 6:28-29 KJV). “…It is the
gift of God …” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…HE WHICH HATH “BEGUN” A GOOD “WORK” IN YOU WILL “PERFORM” IT until the day of Jesus Christ…”
(Philippians 1:6 KJV). “…Jesus
[is]… the AUTHOR
and FINISHER OF
[your indwelling Spirit of]… FAITH…” (Hebrews 12:2a KJV). “…The Father …
he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
“… I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by
the faith of the Son of God.
…” (Galatians 2:20-21 KJV). “…by the GRACE of God I am what I
am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
Salvation was obtained BY the Spirit of FAITH and was GIFTED to you BY
the Holy Spirit. “…The
grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, ALONG WITH FAITH…” (1
Timothy 1:13-14 NIV). “….For who makes
you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if
you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?” (1 Corinthians
4:6 NIV). “…For what
gives you the right to make such a judgment? What do you have that God hasn’t given you?
And if everything you have is from God, why boast as though it were not a gift?”
(1 Corinthians 4:7 NLT).
The
BIBLE SAYS: “…God hath dealt (GIVEN)… to every man THE measure of FAITH…”
(Romans 12:3 NIV). One of “…the
fruit of the Spirit… is…FAITH…”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).
Hebrews 11 gives WITNESS to how the Spirit of Faith empowers actions:
BY
FAITH we understand …
BY
FAITH …Abel brought …
BY
FAITH …Enoch was taken up…
BY
FAITH …Noah BUILT
…
BY
HIS FAITH Noah CONDEMNED. …
BY
FAITH …Abraham obeyed …
he lived
there BY FAITH—
BY
FAITH …SARAH WAS ABLE TO
HAVE A CHILD…
BY
FAITH …THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE
RED SEA
BY
FAITH …the people of Israel MARCHED
AROUND JERICHO
FOR SEVEN
DAYS…
BY
FAITH these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled
with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the
mouths of lions, quenched the
flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness
was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put
whole armies to flight. Women received
their loved ones back again from death….” (Hebrews 11:1-35 NLT).
“…I will show you MY (indwelling Spirit of) FAITH
by my deeds (signs, wonders, miracles, actions, etc.)...” (JAMES 2:18 NIV).
God gave every believer
THE measure of faith. “…God hath dealt to every man THE measure of
FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). One of “…the fruit of the Spirit… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).
God gave every believer
instructions on how to activate their “measure
of faith.” (Romans 12:3 NIV). “…FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and hearing by the word of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV).
After “hearing” the word, the believer is
empowered to DEPEND on God for his many spiritual provisions; through the
indwelling Holy Spirit. “It is God which
worketh IN YOU…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…The Father that dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…The righteous will live by “his” faith…”
(Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…by the grace of God I am what I am…” (1
Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
The indwelling Spirit of FAITH begins to work “IN”
them, “THROUGH” them, and “FOR” them. “…It is
God which WORKETH in [them]… both to will and to
do of his good pleasure”
(Philippians 2:13 KJV). “… [They NOW] live by
the faith of the
Son of God.
…” (Galatians 2:20
KJV). One of “…the fruit of the [indwelling]
Spirit… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).
“ … That great Shepherd of the
sheep, …may he WORK
IN US what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, Amen”
(Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…[May he].. strengthened [you]…with might by his
Spirit in the INNER MAN…”(Ephesians 3:16 KJV).
You “… [You] can do all things THROUGH Christ which strengtheneth [you]….”
(Philippians 4:13 KJV).
Remember
“…It was BY FAITH that Noah BUILT A LARGE BOAT
to save his
family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things
that had never happened before….” (Hebrews
11 NLT).
The Spirit of faith caused Noah to do a work:
Noah BUILT. The Spirit of Faith caused
Noah’s work to be seen: Noah built A BOAT. The Spirit of Faith worked “FOR” Noah also: it SAVED his family from
the flood.
When the Spirit of Faith works “IN” you it will
enable you to do something God has commanded. Noah built.
When the Spirit of Faith works “THROUGH” people
can see the witness of your indwelling faith by your deeds. Noah built a boat
that EVERYBODY could see as a witness of God’s purpose in his life.
When the Spirit of Faith works “FOR” you; it WILL
“BLESS” you above ALL that you have ask for or hoped for. Noah’s whole family
was the ONLY family saved from the flood. “…I
will show you MY FAITH by my deeds...”
(JAMES 2:18 NIV).
Every Believer is a
dependent upon the indwelling Spirit of
Faith to walk live a life of FAITH. “…
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless
I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by the
faith of the Son of God.
…” (Galatians 2:20-21 KJV). “…by the GRACE of God I am what I
am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).
“….Apart from [the indwelling
Spirit], you can do nothing…” (John 15:5
NIV).
