Without faith it is impossible to please God, because He who comes to Him must believe that He exists and He rewards those who earnestly seek after Him. ( Hebrews 11:6)
I have heard myself and many people say that they want a faith that can move mountains, I've finally realized by the grace of God that most of us don’t have a clue what walking and living by faith means. I don’t claim to fully understand what faith really is but I believe the Lord is in His grace has given me some insight on the meaning of faith a few days ago. And I’m under obligation to share what I've learned with you folks. See video above

good morning guys are this is star even
0:02
I wanted to talk about a couple of
0:04
things this morning and um on this one
0:09
of the scriptures in the book of Hebrews
0:10
that I've been looking at and it really
0:12
has captured my mind not because I
0:16
wanted to but because the Lord Himself
0:17
are placed it on my heart and his
0:19
Hebrews 11:6 it says without faith is
0:23
impossible to please God because he who
0:26
comes to God must believe that he exists
0:28
and he is a rewarder of those who
0:30
earnestly seek after him and I heard
0:33
that so anytime when I hear stuff like
0:35
this I'm going oh okay I guess I have to
0:37
muster up some kind of faith to to
0:39
really please God and I've heard a lot
0:42
of people in myself say that they wanted
0:44
faith I can move mountains and I finally
0:47
understood by God's grace that most of
0:50
us don't have a clue what walking and
0:54
living by faith actually means and I
0:57
don't claim to understand what faith is
0:59
totally but I believe the Lord is nice
1:02
grace has given me a little bit of
1:03
insight to explain these things and I'm
1:07
gonna be really short I don't want to be
1:09
complicated I don't want to make this
1:10
into some case something so deep if
1:14
simplest is really simple and this is
1:17
the way I want to keep it okay and I'm
1:20
under obligation to share this with you
1:22
guys because you need to know the truth
1:25
and it's true for such a free and I'm
1:27
referring to believers and soon-to-be
1:30
believers as well so I'm gonna present
1:34
it I'm gonna go to my slide and we're
1:35
gonna go from there okay scripture says
1:38
in Romans 10:17 faith comes by hearing
1:42
and hearing comes by the Word of God and
1:45
the first question is how is faith
1:48
birthday according to Romans 10:17 in
1:52
the new King King James Version I like
1:54
this version better because he explains
1:56
it better he says so then faith comes by
2:00
hearing and hearing by the Word of God
2:03
in other words faith is birthed by
2:06
listening and acting upon what is being
2:08
say commanded commanded okay and
2:11
listening and acting upon
2:13
what is commanded is birthed by the Word
2:17
of God let me say that again because I
2:19
don't think are quite a quite explained
2:20
it the right way
2:21
faith is birthed by listening and acting
2:26
upon what is being commanded and
2:27
listening and acting upon what is
2:31
commanded is birthed by the Word of God
2:34
read those words in the comfort of your
2:37
own setting and let the Holy Spirit
2:39
Himself explain it to you okay now
2:42
hearing by the Word of God now we can
2:45
look at several references of the word
2:47
in scriptures but I want to zero in on
2:49
the two references that I had mentioned
2:50
below in John 1 verse 1 to scripture
2:54
says in the beginning was the word and
2:57
the Word was with God and the Word was
2:59
God he was in the beginning with God and
3:03
then in 1st Samuel 3:21 scripture also
3:06
says then the Lord appeared again a
3:09
child for the Lord revealed himself to
3:12
Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the Lord
3:15
so we understand that the Word of God is
3:18
God himself meaning Jesus so he is
3:22
called a word right in the beginning was
3:24
the word meaning Jesus and the word
3:26
meaning Jesus was with God and the Word
3:29
was God himself so the word the word of
3:35
the Lord is Jesus himself it's important
3:37
to understand there okay let's go to the
3:40
next slide and why is he so important to
3:42
understand this and we're gonna look at
3:43
the following passage in John 5 verse 2
3:46
to 9 scripture says now there is in
3:49
Jerusalem by the Sheep gate a pool in
3:52
our make Corbitt esta which has five
3:55
roof colonnades in these lay multitude
3:57
of invalids blind lame and paralyzed one
4:01
man was there who had been an invalid
4:03
for thirty-eight years when Jesus saw
4:05
him lying there and knew that he had
4:07
already been there for a long time he
4:09
said to the man do you want to be healed
4:11
and the sick man answered him sir I have
4:14
no one to put me into the pool when the
4:16
water is stirred up and while I'm going
4:19
another steps down before me and jesus
4:22
said to him get up take up your bed and
4:25
walk
4:26
now we need to understand why this is so
4:28
important the invited men didn't know
4:31
who Jesus was here no clue Jesus was so
4:33
here lived his entire life in seclusion
4:35
and he was the best candidate for God to
4:38
show his glory why listen to this jesus
4:42
said to him get up take up your bed and
4:44
walk Jesus gave the command and what
4:47
happened in John 5 9 he says at once the
4:51
man was healed and he took up his bed
4:53
and walked why is that important how was
4:56
this man here was this man healed
4:59
because of his faith or was he healed
5:01
because of Jesus command in most
5:03
scriptures they refer to healing Jesus
5:05
commends the people for their faith here
5:09
of the lady that was faith now that was
5:10
healed and her her her daughter was
5:12
healing jesus said woman your faith has
5:15
made you that he says stuff like that
5:17
now we have to be careful to really
5:20
understand what is going on these
5:22
people's faith was a result of God's
5:24
creating their faith so God gets the
5:26
glory we should never ever think that
5:30
faith is a result of our doing
5:32
faith is a gift of God that's why the
5:37
righteous shall live by faith because
5:40
faith glorifies God because faith comes
5:43
from God now do you understand why this
5:45
is important I hope the Holy Spirit
5:47
really makes this clear to you because
5:50
the Bible says without faith it's
5:52
impossible to please God because he who
5:54
comes to him must believe that he exists
5:56
and he rewards those who earnestly seek
5:58
after him thus Hebrews 11:6 right if you
6:02
are earnestly seeking God is because God
6:05
has created that desire in us if we love
6:08
God is because God has created the
6:10
desire if you obey God is because God
6:13
has enabled us to obey Him everything we
6:15
do is possible because God has enabled
6:19
us to do so hence without God it is
6:22
impossible to please God you know why
6:24
God made it that way so he can get the
6:27
glory because we exist to worship and
6:30
glorify God and he won't share his glory
6:32
with no main if you can understand this
6:36
like I said he would cure jealousy envy
6:37
a lack of contentment
6:40
hatred selfish ambition because if
6:42
anything is possible is because God made
6:45
it possible and John the Baptist
6:47
understood that I'll leave you with his
6:49
last word from John he says in John 3 25
6:52
to 30 now a discussion arose between
6:55
some of John's disciples and a Jew over
6:57
purification and they came to John and
6:59
said to him rabbi he was with you across
7:02
the Jordan to whom you bought witness
7:04
Luke he is baptizing and all people are
7:06
going to him and John answered the
7:08
person cannot receive even one thing
7:11
unless it is given him from heaven
7:14
you yourself bear me witness that I said
7:16
I am NOT the Christ but I've been sent
7:19
before him
7:19
the one who has the bride is the
7:22
bridegroom the friend of the bridegroom
7:23
who stands and hears him rejoices
7:25
greatly at the bride at the bridegroom's
7:28
voice
7:29
therefore this joy of mine is now
7:31
complete he must increase but I must
7:35
decrease John understood exactly that no
7:41
one can do anything unless God Himself
7:43
allows them to do so so if I have faith
7:46
today it's because God created that
7:48
faith so that God can get the glory it's
7:51
not because I muster up enough faith to
7:54
do something because I can do nothing
7:56
unless God Himself permits that you
7:58
understand that so that's why it's so
8:01
important to understand because people
8:03
trying to please God by doing things are
8:05
going to church five times a week I do
8:07
this I do this da means nothing to God
8:10
because that does not bring him glory
8:11
you don't try to please God you allow
8:14
him and you can't even allow God unless
8:17
God enables you so faith that's what the
8:20
scripture says the just and the
8:22
righteous shall live by faith
8:25
meaning the righteous shall live by God
8:28
God Himself is the one that prompts you
8:30
to do the things that you do so that you
8:32
can give him the glory he changes your
8:35
desire so that you can say God change my
8:38
desire so when you see someone doing
8:40
something great for God you praise God
8:43
in that person because we bear His image
8:46
he said I would make many into our image
8:50
so when we see people with great
8:52
athleticism you see LeBron doing stuff
8:54
you see wherever you see that's your
8:56
Idol so to speak you should really look
8:58
to God when you see those people say god
9:00
I thank you that you give that man or
9:02
that woman so much of your qualities and
9:07
he will cure jealousy and envy because
9:10
if you understand that I am Who I am by
9:12
the grace of God then there's no reason
9:15
for you to be proud see God say I am Who
9:18
I am no man can ever say that that's why
9:22
God is holy because he is set apart we
9:25
say I am Who I am by the grace of God I
9:28
will never say I am Who I am because I
9:31
am Who I am no I am where I am by the
9:34
grace of God this is why faith is the
9:37
gift of God because it glorifies God if
9:40
you ever think that you are who you are
9:42
because you studied enough scriptures
9:44
that's why you can spit our verses you
9:46
are heading into a really dangerous path
9:49
so be careful and I hope that you take
9:52
your time to really ask her to clarify
9:53
what it means to have faith in your life
9:56
thank you guys and that's what I wanted
9:58
to say today all right you have a nice
10:00
day
