THE FAITH OF DEEP WATERS 💦 💦 💦 (PART 2)

18258. EVERLASTING FATHER, WE THANK YOU FEEDING US WITH THE BREAD 🍞OF FAITH, AND QUENCHING OUR THIRSTS WITH YOUR DEEP WATERS 💦 💦 💦 THIS SEASON. THANK YOU ABBA FOR THE BREAD 🍞 OF LIFE.

18259. FAITH IS AN EXCELLENT WEAPON BUT MANY OF US DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE THAT WEAPON. IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO HAVE A WEAPON IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY USE THAT WEAPON!

HEBREWS 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”

IT IS A GOOD THING TO SAY HAVE HOPE. EVERYONE HAS HOPE FOR THINGS WE DESIRE. HOPE IS AN ESSENTIAL INGREDIENT OF FAITH.

IF WISHES WERE HORSES, BEGGARS WILL RIDE. MANY PEOPLE CONFUSE HOPE WITH FAITH. THEY TELL YOU: “I HAVE FAITH”, BUT WHEN YOU EXAMINE WHAT THEY CALLED FAITH, YOU’D DISCOVER WHAT THEY CALLED “FAITH” IS NOT FAITH BUT HOPE.

HOPE IS CHEAP, THAT’S WHY EVERYBODY HAVE IT. BUT FAITH CARRIES A PRICE TAG, AND MANY LAZY CHRISTIANS ARE TOO MENTALLY POOR TO PAY THE PRICE OF FAITH. WHAT THEY CALLED FAITH IS NOT FAITH BUT SOME CHEAP DESIRES CALLED HOPE.

FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR. IF YOUR HOPE CANNOT BE SUBSTANTIATED TANGIBLY, THEN, IT’S A PIPE-DREAM! IT’S EMPTY WISHES, IT’S VANISHING VAPOURS!

MANY PEOPLE ARE CHOKING EATING THE BREAD 🍞 OF FAITH, THEY DIDN’T KNOW IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EAT THE BREAD 🍞 OF FAITH WITHOUT DEEP WATERS 💦 💦 💦 OF GOD’S WISDOM TO DRINK.

THE WORD OF GOD IS LIKENED TO WATER 💦 IN MANY SCRIPTURES (JOHN 15:3; EPHESIANS 5:26; JOHN 17:17; JOHN 3:5; ).

DEEP WATERS 💦 💦 💦 MEANS MEDITATIONS ON THE WORD OF GOD. IT MEANS WISE COUNSEL OR WISDOM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT MEANS DEEP THINKING OR DEEP REVELATIONS.

(PROVERBS 20:5)

(Lexham Expanded Bible)
“Deep waters 💦💦💦 [are like] purpose in the heart of a man, and a man of understanding will draw it out.”

(Modern King James version)
“Wisdom in the heart of man is like deep water 💦 💦 💦 , but a man of understanding will draw it out.”

(Modern Spelling Tyndale-Coverdale)
“Wise counsel in the heart of man is like a water 💦 💦 💦 in the deep of the earth; but he that hath understanding bringeth it forth”

(King James Version)
“Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water 💦 💦 💦 ; but a man of understanding will draw it out”

18260. LET ME USE THIS SIMPLE STEP-BY-STEP OR 3-STEP ANALOGY TO DESCRIBE FAITH.

IF POVERTY IS AN ENEMY, AND YOU WANT TO KILL THIS ENEMY, WHAT WILL YOU DO?

STEP 1: BUY – YOU GO AND GET WEAPON 🔫 TO KILL THIS ENEMY.

IF THE WEAPON IS A GUN 🔫, YOU MUST FIRST GO TO A GUN’S SHOP TO BUY GUN AND BULLETS.

THE GUN AND BULLETS ARE LIKENED TO YOUR FAITH-WEAPON. YOU MUST HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY THIS WEAPON 🔫. YOU MUST PAY THE PRICE TO COLLECT THE WEAPON 🔫. IF YOU’RE TOO POOR TO BUY THIS WEAPON 🔫, YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BUY THE WEAPON 🔫, MUCH LESS, KILL THE ENEMY.

NO VOLUME OF TEARS 😭 AND WISHES WILL DELIVER THIS WEAPON 🔫 INTO YOUR HAND. YOU MUST TAKE PRACTICAL STEPS TO ACQUIRE THE WEAPON 🔫 IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE STRANDED AND GROUNDED IN PERPETUAL SLAVERY TO YOUR ENEMY.

STEP 2: LEARN – YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO USE THIS WEAPON 🔫 SKILLFULLY, EFFECTIVELY, AND EFFICIENTLY.

LEARNING TAKES TIME. DON’T BE A SLOPPY USER OF WEAPON 🔫. MANY PEOPLE EVEN HAVE THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE OF FAITH. THEY GO TO CHURCH, LISTEN TO SERMONS. GIVE OFFERINGS AND TITHES, BUT THEY ARE SLOPPY CHRISTIANS. THEY DON’T KNOW, AND ARE NOT LEARNING HOW TO SKILLFULLY, EFFECTIVELY, AND EFFICIENTLY USE THE WEAPON 🔫 OF FAITH WHICH THEY OUTWARDLY PROFESS AND CONFESS.

YOU CAN SCARE AN ENEMY BY BRINGING OUT YOUR GUN 🔫, BUT IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO USE IT, YOU AND YOUR GUN 🔫 ARE USELESS. YOU CAN’T KILL THE ENEMY. MANY CHRISTIANS BRAG ABOUT THEIR FAITH, BUT THEIR LIVES LACK ANSWERS AND RESULTS OF FAITH

YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO LOAD BULLETS INTO YOUR GUN. YOU MUST LEARN ALL THE FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE GUN 🔫. YOU MUST TARGET-PRACTICE 🎯, HOW TO HOLD AND SHOOT STRAIGHT, AND HIT TARGET 🎯. UNLESS YOU LEARN AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF ACQUIRING THE SKILL OF A SHARPSHOOTER, YOU CAN NEVER KILL THE ENEMY, EVEN THOUGH YOU CARRY THE OUTWARD APPEARANCE OF A WEAPON 🔫.

THIS IS WHY MANY CHRISTIANS ARE FRUSTRATED. THEY HAVE OUTWARD APPREARANCE OF FAITH. THEY HAVE THE BREAD 🍞OF FAITH BUT ARE CHOKING AND DYING EATING THIS BREAD WITHOUT HAVING THE DEEP WATERS 💦 💦 💦 OF MEDITATIONS AND WISDOM OF GOD. YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO OBTAIN THE DEEP WATERS 💦 💦 💦 THAT MAKES THE BREAD 🍞 OF FAITH CHEWABLE AND DIGESTIBLE, OTHERWISE, YOU CAN DIE OF HUNGER, STARVATION, AND MALNUTRITION.

STEP 3: SHOOT-TO-KILL – THIS IS THE FINAL STEP. HAVING ACQUIRED THE SKILL OF A SHARP SHOOTER, YOU MUST GO INTO ACTION TO SHOW EVIDENCE OF DEAD BODIES OF POVERTY, SICKNESSES, AILMENTS, AFFLICTIONS, AND INFIRMITIES, THAT YOU HAVE KILLED WITH YOUR WEAPON 🔫 OF FAITH.

SHOW ME YOUR FAITH BY YOUR Works! (JAMES 2:18)

MANY CHRISTIANS FAIL IN THIS ASPECT. THEY BLAME THEIR CHURCH, THEY BLAME GOD, THEY BLAME THEIR BRETHREN AND THEIR PASTORS, FOR THEIR FAILURES. FAITH IS THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. IF YOU HAVE NO VISIBLE PROOFS OF YOUR FAITH, YOU’RE A FAILURE, IT MEANS YOU HAVE NO FAITH.

FAITH IS NOT JUST A CONFESSION, FAITH IS TANGIBLE PROOFS! FAITH IS NOT JUST LISTENING TO SERMONS, FAITH IS YOUR TESTIMONIES THAT COMES FROM YOUR ACTIONS INSPIRED BY THAT SERMON! FAITH IS NOT JUST GOING TO CHURCH OR GIVING TITHES AND OFFERINGS, BUT THE RESULT OF OBEDIENCE AND ACTIONS ALIGNED WITH THE WORD AND COMMANDMENTS OF GOD! SELAH!

18261. “SO THEN FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD” – (ROMANS 10:17)

FAITH DOES NOT COME BY HEARING SERMONS. SERMON IS THE WORD OF MAN PREACHED TO EXPLAIN THE WORD OF GOD.

FAITH DOES NOT COME BY READING. IT COMETH BY “HEARING”!

LISTEN 👂 TO ME: WE ALL HAVE THE WORD OF GOD. WE ALL READ THE HOLY BIBLE, BUT HOW MANY OF US “HEAR” THE VOICE OF GOD FROM HIS WORD?

YOU CAN NEVER “HEAR” THE WORD. YOU CAN ONLY “HEAR” THE VOICE OF GOD. IF WHAT YOU READ AND STILL READING FROM HIS WORD HAS NOT BECOME, OR METAMORPHOSED INTO HIS VOICE, IT MEANS, YOU HAVE NOT HIT THE GUSHER OF DEEP WATERS 💦 💦 💦

THE PEOPLE THAT GOD SET UP ABOVE ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH (DEUTERONOMY 28:1) ARE NOT THOSE WHO READ HIS WORD, BUT THOSE WHO “DILIGENTLY HEAR” HIS VOICE AND OBEY OR OBSERVE “TO DO” HIS COMMANDMENTS! THIS IS THE MYSTERY 9F DEEP WATERS 💦 💦 💦
