The Power Of Hearing God's Word

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Romans 10:17

The Word of our Father clearly tells us that we now have Jesus’ actual faith working within us. The Bible teaches us that our Father has given the measure of faith and the Bible teaches that Jesus Authors and Finishes our faith. So if we have been chosen by God and have been empowered with His Holy Spirit to make Jesus the Lord of our lives, we have the ability to believe that our Father is and that He will reward us for diligently seeking Him.  We are now empowered to believe just as Jesus believes that God is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him! Our Father has seen to it through Christ. Our Father has empowered us to be used by Him to do all things!

Everywhere we turn in the Word, we see that God is the One doing His works of righteousness through us, and since He is, we then are able to fully enjoy the benefits of righteousness! There is now no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus! Do you see why? There is now no condemnation because our Father has placed the responsibility of faith on Himself and not on us. Our Father is the One Who will guide us into a faithful life, and our Father is the One Who will prune anything out of us that needs pruning. He does this so that He can continually produce more and more fruit through us.

 Jesus is our Refiners Fire and our Fullers Soap! So if there is anything within us that would hinder our faith, Jesus burns it out of us and cleans us with His pure water. Jesus is our Shepherd; He leads us right to where we need to be, to walk in His faith. Jesus is our Vine; He is continually providing the very life giving powers that allow us to be all that God has made us to be. We have it all with God and our Savior Jesus Christ, there is nothing lacking for us, and because of Jesus, we are fully pleasing to our Father. We are God’s children; there is absolutely nothing that He has, that He hasn’t given us through Jesus our Lord and Savior! Faith to serve Him, faith to serve others, faith to love, faith to move a mountain, faith to heal the sick, faith that freely receives and freely gives. We now have and enjoy Jesus' very faith to know beyond any shadow of a doubt that we are God’s kids. We are complete in Jesus, the Firstborn among many brethren! Our Father has given us the faith to live as Jesus lives. We  know that it is our Father, Who is God, within us, doing His works!
