We are walking in today:  The Just Shall Live By Faith!

Hebrews 6:1-2 1) Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2) Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.   Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.  Now that we have made the decision not to return to our own vomit, we need to learn how to walk this process out.  We are to walk this out by faith!  the word of God says, the just shall live by faith!  That relationship that you have had for years, may have come to an end.  Have faith in God and live by His word.  Proverbs 18:22 Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord.  We are at the point of no return, let us use scripture as our prescription that we must take daily to save our lives.  That we would live a lifestyle of faith that transforms us from being just a man--to, a just man because we allow the Holy Ghost to lead us and choreograph our lives.  That we would always be in the right place at the right time.  Even when it seems like everything is going wrong.  Psalms 37:23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.  Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.  You will live a life of peace if you let faith guide your feet!  Psalm 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  He will put you back on the right track--if you learn to live by faith!  Therefore, there are no misunderstandings or no mistakes--faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God!  The only way we are gonna walk through this thing is out and not return to our own vomit.    We are gonna have to walk in some scriptures this morning.  Proverbs 4:8 Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.  He will take you from good, to better, to best!  30, 60, 100 fold increase if you learn to live by faith!  We get saved by grace, through faith.  Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.  Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.  Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.  Ephesians 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.  We all had our conversations and lifestyles and our backgrounds in sin, but the good news is, Romans 12:3 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.  Romans 10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)  God makes sure we hear what we need to hear, so we can believe what we need to believe.  We stand by faith!  Take a stand today, fiveamprayer and say something by faith.  If you believe it , then you will say it.  2 Corinthians 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.  The word of God is your uniform for prayer!  It is an armor, full of ammunition for taking a stand by the faith that is already inside of you.  That is how we can stand against the devil.  Ephesians 6:10-17 10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12) For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14) Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15) And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.  There is no armor for the back because we don't surrender!  Nor do we retreat!  Fiveamprayer does not give in or give up!  We don't bend or bow!  We won't break!  We don't back down or back up!  We are to take a stand and speak up--for what we believe.  We walk by faith and not by sight!  2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)  Step out and do something by faith!  It takes two steps to make a walk.  When you take a step, you will met opposition from the adversary because you are stepping into the devil's camp, taking back all that he stole and is withholding from you!  This becomes a walk when you take more than one step, don't back up!  Take another step.  When you have God backing you up and ordering your steps--you. will. not. fail!  Don't let the enemy convince you that you can't do something that God has already told you, that you can.  Who will you believe?!  Who is it that you are serving?  Did not you choose who you will serve?!  Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.  That opposition that the devil brings is not a match to our all knowing, all powerful God, the Creator of all things!   Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:  Colossians 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.  Fiveamprayer when you are facing opposition from the devil in what you are doing, do it again!  Psalm 68:1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.  Psalm 45:7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.  Step two is what makes this a walk of faith instead of just a step of faith.  The second step is what makes this trusting in God, instead of just trying God!  Step to the devil and walk by faith, not by sight!  We fight by faith.  1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.  The good fight of faith is the fight to lay hold of eternal life and to preach the gospel to as many people as possible.  There is a revelation of a difference, eternal life and everlasting life.  Everlasting life starts again after you have died.  Eternal life is living while you are alive.  John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.  That is a description of eternal life.  The Bible says that the wages of sin is death.  But the gift of God is eternal life.  The same way we can experience the effects of sin, is starting to die before you.  We die.  We can experience the effects of faith and start living before we die.  Eternal life is living this life for the everlasting life.  Eternal life is also making this life more and more like everlasting life by flooding the Earth with the influence of heaven.  If making a difference in this life, so somebody can make it into the next life.  By living the eternal life and preaching the gospel before many witnesses we are fighting the good fight of faith.  2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.  We are to live a life according to 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.  We are to give according to 2 Timothy 4:7, it is called the good fight of faith because the devil does not know who to stop you from doing either one!  So the out come is, you win!  It is not fighting to keep your faith, it is fighting to be a keeper of the faith!  As a keeper of the faith, I keep the faith by sharing it.  When you preach the gospel, you hear it, Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  The more that you give the faith, the more you get it.  Paul kept the faith because he kept on preaching the faith!  Also every one that you shared the gospel with--they win!  Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  Even if they don't receive the gospel that you preach, a seed has been planted or watered.  We win!  It is a win/win situation!  If I share the faith, I keep it!  If I give the faith, I get it!  If only one person gets saved, that is one person that satan has lost.  We win!
So now we gotta think about this thing, we have gotta know.  The just shall live by faith!  We must fight the good fight of faith!  Fiveamprayer, we must endure until the end.  This is a faith walk!  We walk by faith and not by sight, fiveamprayer!  We must take the next step for our future.  He came that we would have life and that more abundantly!  We are to cast our cares on Him for He cares for us.  We are coming out by the faith of God!  The just shall live by faith.  Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God!  God told us not to be like a dog that returns to his vomit nor be like the fool returning to their folly.  Fight the good fight of faith.  Come out of sin and addiction, the just shall live by faith!  Hold on to the word of God and your faith!  His word takes root and begins to grow.  We will no longer go to the same places, nor say the same things.  The just shall live by faith.  That is what we are holding on to!  Faith.  Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  We are holding on to our faith!  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  Hold on to His word, it does not return void, it does all that He sent it out to do!  We are the righteousness of God!  He has made us overcomers, conquers.  We win!  Every time the devil  comes up, take a step towards him to head him off.  That he can no longer take any ground.  That you would instead have him to back up and retreat!  Where ever God leads, we will follow.  We know that He is always in control!  That there is nothing too hard for the Creator of all things!  We must fight the good fight of faith!  Trust and believe His word!  We can do all things through Christ which strengthens us!  Trust Him, we are told not to lean to our own understanding.  Don't turn around, walk by faith!  He has gone before us and made the crooked places straight!  How are you gonna make it?!  We have been given faith and we must learn how to use it!  Fight the good fight of faith!  The just shall live by faith!  There is no turning around or going back.  The old man and the old ways are dead, walk in the newness of your life in Christ, washed and redeemed by the blood of the Lamb that was slain.  Keep on holding on to your faith.  Others around you may not understand, hold on to your faith!  God has changed us!  Fiveamprayer, you are starting to take after your Father!  We have to look and align ourselves with Him!  We were made in His image, should not our actions line up with His as well?  We must have a good fight of faith, the devil can not stop us!  It takes faith to fight!  Get in your battlefield position, on your knees in prayer!  It takes faith to fight!   We must swing  and keep on swinging with the weapons of mass destruction that God has given us!  Even if you are tired of fighting, we must keep the good fight of faith!  Hallelujah!  Put on the whole armor of God and stand on your faith!  Faith comes by hearing, what are you listening to?  He gave us so many scriptures today, take time out to read them out loud for yourself.  The just shall live by faith.  Suit up in the word of God, so that you will be able to walk this out.  We have scripture after scripture, the just shall live by faith.  Pick up your sword and start swinging!  Fight the good fight of faith!  The joy of the Lord is our strength!  I am the just and I shall live by faith!  His strength is made perfect in our weakness!  Fight the good fight of faith!  We are in the enemies camp and have been given the power to trample all over snakes and scorpions.  We can take you out, devil,  with one word--Jesus.  Romans 14:11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  We rebuke you in the name of Jesus!  2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.  When the devil tries to get you backed up in the corner, or to make you quit--call on the name of Jesus!  I know who I serve!  The mighty, awesome and amazing God!  It is by Your stripes we are already healed!  We have to fight the good fight of faith!  We must not become weary in well doing, for we shall reap the harvest if we faint not!  The devil can't stop me!  There is no weapon that is formed against me that shall prosper!  The devil can't stop me and he is under my feet!  I am walking around, up and down him!   The just shall live by faith, because of who our Father is!  Take the next step, we can do all things through Christ Jesus!  Hallelujah God!  We lift You up for refreshing and reviving us.  We come to see  Your face.  Thank You God!  We lift up fiveamprayer to live and walk this out by faith.  He gave us eternal life which is right now!  He came that we would have life and that more abundantly.  Fight the good fight of faith.  We lift up prayer requests, that they would fight the good fight of faith.  Keep on fighting, fiveamprayer.  We come to repent for being tired, you have been running for God a long time and no, you are not tired yet!  You shall live and not die!  The just shall live by faith!  Look how God put all of this together!  So that we know that we have to fight the good fight of faith!

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  I shall live by faith!  I shall live by faith!  I shall live by faith!


Welcome to the overflow...
Hallelujah God!  Glory to Your name!  We give you all of the honor, glory and praise!  We bless Your name!  We declare, demand and decree--and seal it in the blood of Jesus!  I shall live by faith!  Hallelujah Lord!  Thank You God!  You, Lord are the lifter of my head.  Thank You God!  He is our strong tower, every hour!  He is our Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star.  Hallelujah God!  Keep telling yourself all day today, I shall live by faith!  Visit us on facebook and have a blessed day!
