A certain deacon was look down upon by his brethrens as over righteous. They could not stand him, so they came up with a plan how to humiliate and humble him. They decide that his wife was his strength so they planned to find a way to separate them. They dig under and poison the wife’s mind making her feel like she deserve better. So they planned to pay her fare to England. The husband must not be told of her plan until she reach England. For some three months the husband do not know what happen to his wife, until one Sunday in Church a letter came to the Church from her. Thanking them for the good send off and the support.

Many years ago I was trying to get married, I propose to a certain girl from my church. Things was going good, until a letter came from her by the way of a certain sister. The letter curse me out and put me in my place. Three years after that I was in Bible collage. I propose to another girl, things was going good, when a letter arrive from her by the way of the same sister, who brought the first letter three years before. I finally went to another organization to find a wife, I keep things secret. Some twenty-four years later I decide to examine the letters and see that all those letters was written by one and the same person. The sisters who brought the letter to me was the one that wrote them. She broken up all my relationship. If a believer’s faith is not rooted and grounded, a clever Satanic servant can derail your faith.

WHAT IS FAITH THAT THE JUST MUST LIVE BY?

Habakkuk 2:4 (KJV) Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:1 (Living Bible) What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.

faith 1. Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, an idea, or a thing. 2. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. See Synonyms at belief. See Synonyms at trust. 3. Loyalty to a person or thing; allegiance: keeping faith with one's supporters. 4. Often Faith. Theology. The theological virtue defined as secure belief in God and a trusting acceptance of God's will. 5. The body of dogma of a religion: the Moslem faith. 6. A set of principles or beliefs.

Faith make a person saw the victory coming, faith gives the person hope. Hope gives the person a reason to go on. Faith can be influence to increase or to decrease. Just like watching a good movie that lift up your spirit and watching an old bad movie or an old Vietnam movies can rob you of your joy and you night sleep.

HOW TO PREVENT SATAN FROM GETTING THE EDGE OVER YOU.

The believer must keep adding to their faith. If the saint refuses to invest time and money in updating their faith, it will be rooted up and blown away.

2 Peter 1:5 (KJV) And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

2 Cor. 2:11 (KJV) Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Col. 2:7 (KJV) Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Jude 1:20 (KJV) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

FAITH CAN BE OVER THROWN.

2 Tim. 2:18 (KJV) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

Col. 2:8 (KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

A PERSON CAN DEPART FROM FAITH.

1 Tim. 4:1 (KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

1 Tim. 5:8 (KJV) But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

1 Tim. 5:12 (KJV) Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

IF WE ARE WALKING IN THE BODY OF REVEAL TRUTH THAT WAS ONCE DELIVERED TO THE SAINT.

2 Cor. 13:5 (KJV) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

LITTLE FAITH.

Matthew 6:30 (KJV) Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Matthew 14:31 (KJV) And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Matthew 16:8 (KJV) Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

Matthew 21:21 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.

A PERSON CAN COMPLETELY LOST THEIR FAITH.

Mark 4:40 (KJV)And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

Luke 8:25 (KJV) And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

A PERSON CAN HAVE GREAT FAITH.

Matthew 8:10 (KJV) When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Matthew 15:28 (KJV) Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

Matthew 9:22 (KJV) But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

Matthew 9:29 (KJV) Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.

INCREASE FAITH.

Luke 17:5-6 (KJV) And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. [6] And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

A PERSON FAITH CAN FAILED.

Luke 22:31 (KJV) And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

Luke 22:32 (KJV) But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

A PERSON CAN BE FULL OF FAITH.

Acts 6:5 (KJV) And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:

Acts 11:24 (KJV) For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

A PERSON CAN HAVE WEAK FAITH.

Romans 4:19 (KJV) And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:

Romans 14:1 (KJV) Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

THERE ARE THREE DIMENTION OF FAITH.

Romans 12:3 (KJV) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

When we were born, God gave us a reserve of inbuilt faith. We call this natural faith, Or eye faith. We look at the great seas, rivers, lake, moon, sun and stars and know that there is a creator off all these.

Romans 1:19-21 (Living Bible) For the truth about God is known to them instinctively; God has put this knowledge in their hearts. [20] Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse [when they stand before God at Judgment Day].

[21] Yes, they knew about him all right, but they wouldn't admit it or worship him or even thank him for all his daily care. And after awhile they began to think up silly ideas of what God was like and what he wanted them to do. The result was that their foolish minds became dark and confused.

Ephes. 4:7 (KJV) But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Romans 1:17 (KJV) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

SECOND DIMENTION OF FAITH.

Romans 10:17 (KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 1 Cor. 2:5 (KJV) That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

A believer can build up their faith, the second dimension of faith can be greatly builded up until it became unshaken, but this comes about by feeding upon the word of God.

THIRD DIMENTION OF FAITH.

1 Cor. 12:9 (KJV) To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;

1 Cor. 13:2 (KJV) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

Galatians 5:22 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

The third dimension of faith. Faith as a gift, when all the other faith run out this one kick in. This is what Smith wiggleworth and many other great men and women of God has. This kind of faith bring the dead back to life. This is the faith that God has. Not every body has this kind of faith.

ALL MEN DO NOT HAVE THE THIRD DIMENSION OF FAITH.

2 Thes. 3:2 (KJV) And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.

This is why they say that the Bible contradict itself, because we read that all men were given a measure of faith, but here is said not all men has faith. Not all men has the second and third dimension of faith.

VAIN FAITH.

1 Cor. 15:14 (KJV) And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

1 Cor. 15:17 (KJV) And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

WAS WRITEN BY HOLY MEN.

2 Peter 1:21 (KJV) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

MUST BE READ BY HOLY PEOPLE.

1 Thes. 5:27 (KJV) I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

John 3:34 (KJV) For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

a [measure] Different measures of the Spirit: 1. Mosaic portion (Numbers 11:17,25) 2. Mosaic portion divided into 71 portions (Numbers 11:16-17,25-29) 3. Elijah portion (2 Kings 2:9) 4. Double portion (2 Kings 2:9-10) 5. Elijah portion on John the Baptist (Luke 1:15-17) 6. Earnest of the Spirit (2 Cor. 1:22; 2 Cor. 5:5; 1 John 4:13; Phil. 1:19) 7. The Spirit "without measure" (John 3:34; Isaiah 11:2; Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:16-21; Acts 10:38); Spirit baptism or baptismal measure (Matthew 3:11; Matthew 20:22-23; Luke 3:16; John 1:31-34; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:1-21; Acts 8:15-24; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 11:14-18; Acts 15:7-11; Acts 19:1-7; Galatians 3:14); the fulness of God (Ephes. 3:19; Romans 15:29); the rivers of living water (John 7:37-39); and the full anointing of the Spirit and enduement of power from on high (Luke 24:49; John 14:12-15)

SOMETIME ONLY CHRIST JESUS CAN HELP US:

Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

LOOK AT THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING A CHRISTIAN:

How does a person become a Christian, and are sure that he/she is save? First the person must know that he/she is a sinner and need deliverance from the lord.

Romans 3:23 (KJV) for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Galatians 3:22 (KJV) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD:

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD IS READY TO FORGIVE HIM:

Isaiah 55:7 (KJV)Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT CHRIST DIED FOR HIM:

Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8 (KJV)But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Cor. 15:3-8 (KJV) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. [8] And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN KEEP HIM:

Ephes. 3:20 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

PERFECTING THE SAINTS IS A WORK OF GOD:

1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

THE SINNER MUST KNOW THAT ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE THEM:

Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

THE SINNER MUST MAKE A DECISION TODAY:

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

2 Cor. 6:2 (KJV) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY THIS PRAYER:

Lord I am a sinner and need your salvation. Forgive all my sins. I accept your son Jesus as my savior today.

We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."

DROP ALL PRE-CONCEIVE IDEAS OF CHRISTIANITY:

Drop all preconceived ideas of Christianity because these conflict with the reality of Christianity. The lord will live the life through you day by day. You do not drop things from your life on your own. The spirit of God will walk you out of sins in his own time.

FIRST HUMBLING YOU:

Ephes. 2:8-9 (KJV)For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

If you stop sins and get holy before God’s timing you will begin to boast how it is your own magnetism got you so far, then you became a source of discouragement to others. Therefore, you are going to stuck upon a sin or two. The sin always getting the better of you. This will push you to always accept God’s grace, and to see your own frailness.

1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

TO CONTINUE GROWING IN GOD:

1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Peter 1:5-10 (NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.

FINDING OUT YOUR CALLING:

When I was newly save, the believers always, ask me if I know the will of God for my life! I never really know what they were talking about. Every person that was saved had a mission and a gift. However, because you are just a babe in Christ you do not know any of these. As you go on with the lord his will for you will unfolds day bay day. Do not run off and make any big commitment. Your mate has to be tailor made for you by God. You are now a citizen of heaven. Heaven does not rule by democracy. You cannot serve God with democratic mind set.

WHAT YOU MUST DROP OFF:

Hebrews 12:1 (Living Bible) Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.

Ephes. 4:31 (Living Bible) Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives.

Col. 3:8 (Living Bible) but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cursing, and dirty language.

GET A GOOD BIBLE, AND FIND A GOOD CHURCH:

One of the best Bibles out there is the New King James Version. Dake’s annotated Bible is very good. Next, you need a living bible to make some thing simple.

Hebrews 10:25 (Living Bible) Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.

PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM BEING SPOILED BY MAN:

Col. 2:8 (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Seven Ways that People Can Spoil Christians:

1. Through philosophy (Col. 2:8)

2. Through vain deceit (Col. 2:4,8,18-19)

3. Through human traditions (Col. 2:8)

4. Through human religion and world principles contrary to the gospel (Col. 2:8,14-23; note, §Galatians 4:3)

5. Through circumcision (Col. 2:11-13; Acts 15:1; Romans 4:9-16; Galatians 5:1-11)

6. Through the law of Moses, demanding observance of the laws on meats, drinks, holy days, new moons, feasts, and sabbaths (Col. 2:14-17)

7. Through cults that puff up and imitate the gospel (Col. 2:18-23)

By all these means, unsuspecting souls are being carried off as plunder and booty by false teachers. The founders of false religions and human philosophies which pamper the flesh and give their victims elated feelings of importance make an appeal to them.

Christianity is loaded down with some false concept. Some little believe system, which are spread by false believers. One of such teaching is that you must “Look like Christians” How does Christians look? Genuine Christianity is not an external thing but of the heart and spirit.

Micah 6:8 (KJV)He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

When cults capture a newly converted Christians, the cult first job on that new believer is to close their mind. Preventing the new believer from reading any material from other churches. So that new believer will never get out of their trap.

YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY:

Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body.

According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.

Come back for update soon.

A window is opened, a bird eye view is given, a voice is heard, a man is enlightened a soul is saved.
