We
Receive From God By Faith
ROMANS 5:1-2 NKJ
1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ,
2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we
stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
All we receive from God is by His grace. We do not deserve it,
and we are not able to earn it. It is a gift offered by grace.
But we must access it by faith.
GALATIANS 3:14 NKJ
14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ
Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
We receive through faith. Whether we are receiving the Holy
Spirit or receiving healing. Whatever we receive from God must be received
by faith.
HEBREWS 6:12 NKJ
12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who
through faith and patience inherit the promises.
There are many promises in the Bible. If you want them to be
manifest in your life, you must possess them through faith and patience.
MATTHEW 9:29 NKJ
29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to
you."
This is the statement of Jesus. It is valid for you today just
as it was then. You will receive from God according to your faith.
Do not let this discourage you. Rather it should encourage you. Although
your faith may not be strong now, you can strengthen it by feeding on the
Word of God. It is under your control.
God's Word is faith food. The more you read it, speak it, and
hear it, the stronger your faith will grow.
SAY THIS: I will feed on God's Word and build my faith
so I can receive all the blessings God has for me.

Walk In Love
EPHESIANS 4:31-32 ICB
31 Do not be bitter or angry or mad. Never shout angrily or say things to
hurt others. Never do anything evil.
32 Be kind and loving to each other. Forgive each other just as God forgave
you in Christ.
As a human who has been hurt, you may find it impossible to
forgive and walk in love. But as a child of God, with God
helping you, you can do it.
God freely forgave you. Now, with His love placed in your
heart, you are to act like Him and forgive others.
EPHESIANS 5:1-2 NIV
1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children
2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave
himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
Putting others first is the essence of walking in love.
Selfishness is the opposite of walking in divine love.
COLOSSIANS 3:12-13 NIV
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience.
13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may
have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
If you are having trouble with this, just ask the Lord to work
in you and change you. Tell Him you need help.
SAY THIS: I can walk in love because the Lord is my
Helper.

Faith And Patience
HEBREWS 6:12 NKJ
12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who
through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Patience is not just putting up with things.
Patience means to continue, to persevere, to stay steady, to
maintain your course, to not grow weary in doing good and quit.
Patience is a fruit of the spirit, so to walk in Bible patience
you must keep your spiritual life strong, by feeding on the
Word and fellowshipping with God.
We receive from God by faith, but our faith has to be
under girded by patience to possess and enjoy His promises.
It's normal for there to be a time of waiting and testing when
we believe the promises of God. But hang on to your faith and it will see
you through.
JAMES 5:10-11 NIV
10 Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of
suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11 As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered.
You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally
brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
God's Word will
come to pass in your life. Don't quit
believing.
Hang in there!
SAY THIS: I will imitate those who through faith and
patience
inherit the promises of God |

God Can Be Trusted
HEBREWS 10:23 NKJ
23 . . . He who promised is faithful.
The devil is trying to get you to doubt God and His Word. The
devil wants you to give up on God, to not trust Him, to not
expect Him to do what He said in His Word.
Do not give up! God can be trusted.
Someone who loves you enough to die in your place can be
trusted. Someone who created all that you see, and all that you don't see,
can be trusted to handle whatever you face.
TITUS 1:2 NASB
2 in the hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie,
promised long ages ago,
God is not a liar. Whatever He says comes to pass!
1 THESSALONIANS 5:24 NIV
24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.
God is trustworthy. Don't be moved by the circumstances. God will not fail
you.
SAY THIS: God is worthy of my trust. I trust Him with
my past, present, and future.
