Power Of Increased Faith

Key Scripture: "To each of you has been given a measure of faith."
                        "Faith works through love."  

Power Point:

       Jesus said that everyone has been given a measure of faith. What if we took that gift and increased it?  What if the gift of faith continued to increase until the very moment when He returns to receive it back from me-with interest? 

If faith comes by hearing, (hearing and understanding) the Word of God, then how am I doing with my investment?

If faith works through love, then is my love growing for every person, so that my faith can grow for every person?

If faith is my shield, then have I been reading the Word, believing the Word, treasuring the Word so that I am shielded through every attack of the enemy?

Has the faith that Jesus left with me to invest for Him grown or have I buried it in the ground? Is it bringing increase into my life?  Is my passion for His word causing my faith to grow exponentially or have I been to busy to treasure it or even read it. To bask in the truth that sets me free is the basis for every spiritual thing in my life?

When, not if, the enemy comes, have I prepared the way for the faith I need to stand my ground, and shield myself?  Have I set the standard of faith for my life so high that the Holy Spirit can come in like a flood and raise up the standard of His truth on my mountain?  What am I giving Him to work with?.

Beloved, no one can excel in their spiritual life without the Word of God having first place. The Spirit of God cannot reveal truth if there is none to reveal.

Two thousand years ago, Jesus came as a baby in a manger.  Just for a moment, visualize that baby in the manger as the Word of God; because it was.  The WORD became flesh and dwelt among us.  The WORD, Jesus, came to offer us all of His kingdom treasures.  The WORD, living, and active, was the gift that lay in that manger just as surely as Baby Jesus was.

What are you doing with the Word? Is it still lying in the manger or on a shelf somewhere?

What if Jesus comes today, what would you have increased and what would have decreased?

Are you investing the Word in your life so that when Jesus comes back, He will see how you treasured His gift to you and how much it has increased in value? Before He left, He extended His Peace to us. Peace is a result of knowing what He has said.  He extended the offer of the riches of His kingdom. The riches of the kingdom will only  be evident in us, when we know what they are. He blessed us with everything He had, and everything He wanted to be for us.

What if the WORD was what He has given you to increase? 

Is Faith increasing?

Is Love increasing?

Is Hope increasing?

Is the Spirit of Truth able to bless your increase and offer you more to increase?

 All the promises are in The Word.  All the strength is in The Word. All the secrets of God are revealed, in the Word. The Word applied, and personal, causes us to increase from strength to strength, from faith to faith, and glory  to glory.

It will set you free.
