Listen to full episode :

Outline

2 Cor 5:5-10(NIV)

Col 2:6,7

2 Cor 5:9 - To be accepted, we must walk by faith

Heb 11:6 - Without faith it is impossible to please God

Rom 8:8 - In the flesh we cannot please God. Dominated by eyesight, hearing, taste, touch, smell

TWO KINDS OF FAITH

Sense Knowledge Faith - John 20:24-29 - (Doubting)Thomas required physical evidence

Word Faith - the Centurion depended on the Word alone as evidence - Word faith rises above the senses - Compare Zacharias(Luke 1:5-25) to Abraham (Rom 4:16-22) - Follow Abraham’s example - Rom 4:3,12

THE WORD RULED MIND

Rom 12:2

2 Cor 10:2-5

The Word-ruled mind ALWAYS believes God’s Word will free him/her

OUR CONFESSION

I’m a believer, not a doubter

I walk by faith, not by sight

Faith will come by hearing the WORD

I have access to the Throne; I’m righteous - in right standing with God

I have the right to use the Name of Jesus fearlessly and expect results

I expect what I say with my mouth will come to pass

I have the spirit of faith - 2 Cor 4:13
