Dig a little deeper into the Word with Pastor Petie.

Please reconsider this repeat of FAITH (Hebrew Strong’s #530 emunah): an action-oriented word meaning “support.” Western concept of faith places the action on the one you have faith in, such as “faith in God.” But the Hebrew word FAITH places the action on the one who “supports God.” It is not a knowing that God will act, but rather I will do what I can to support God.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT GOD?
One day, when we’ve seen the gates of pearl and streets of gold, we’ll know that it has been worth it all to serve God/Jesus and that nothing in this world can compare with the stash of treasures we’ve been storing up in Heaven. And it’s your faith that will get you to that glorious place.

WHAT CAUSES US TO SACRIFICE FOR GOD? Why would a man or woman leave the comfort of home (temporary or permanently) or their business and go to some strange place and serve (be obedient to) God? It can be assumed they have made a proper evaluation of the circumstance.

REFUSE TO BELIEVE THE ENEMY’S LIES. When the enemy tries to make you feel that your life has no value and that your choice (to support God) was a wrong one, just stop and take a good look around you. Look at the fruit of the lives of those who have chosen the high road and take an equally good look at the fruit of the lives of the compromisers, and you’ll again be set on the proper course in life. ALWAYS TAKE THE HIGH ROAD.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gi3 of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our LORD. (Romans 6:23)

Moses’ Evaluating Faith: Moses knew this thousands of years before Paul wrote it, and based on his knowledge, he made a proper evaluation. He was not willing to live for the moment, and he was not willing to live for the day. He chose to live for the future, realizing that what we do today affects all our tomorrows. He had an eye for eternity.

DON’T LET YOUR SUFFERING/SERVING BE YOUR OWN FAULT. Some people bring reproach upon themselves by their foolishness and lack of wisdom, and there is no reward for bearing this type of reproach. If you act on your own, God is never obligated to bail you out of your trouble. If you do something for HIS sake, He’ll be with you every step of the way. So, let EVALUATING FAITH ARISE IN YOUR HEART TODAY. START LIVING BY FAITH.

FAITH - (Hebrew Strong’s #530 emunah) an action-oriented word meaning “support.” Western concept of faith places the action on the one you have faith in, such as “faith in God.” But the Hebrew word FAITH places the action on the one who “supports God.” It is not a knowing that God will act, but rather I will do what I can to support God.

This idea of support for the word FAITH can be seen in Exodus 17:12 - But Moses’ hands grew weary; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat upon it, and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; so his hands were steady (faith) until the going down of the sun.

Behold, he whose soul is not upright in him shall fail, but the righteous shall live by his faith. (Habakkuk 2:4-ASV)

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. (James 1:6-8)

Faith is put to work by what we say, and what we do, and every time you say, ‘I seem to be getting a terrible headache,” then you’ve got one. Every time you say, “I’ve got a terrible backache”, then you’ll get one.

By FAITH, Jesus is the healer.

Faith (noun): trust, belief, confidence, devotion, religion

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them the diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6).

Your faith is the most important thing you possess. Faith pleases God, and “without faith it is impossible to please him.” Therefore, if you have been taught faith, you’re one of the most blessed people who have ever lived.
