Belief,
confidence, hope, assurance,
00:00:31.73\00:00:35.76
faith is crucial
to our Christian walk.
00:00:35.80\00:00:38.53
The foundation for our
faith is total trust in God.
00:00:38.57\00:00:42.14
So let's lay faith
foundation with Proverbs 3:5-6,
00:00:42.17\00:00:47.28
which says,
00:00:47.31\00:00:48.64
"Trust in the Lord
with all your heart
00:00:48.68\00:00:50.31
and lean not on
your own understanding,
00:00:50.35\00:00:52.48
in all your
ways acknowledge Him,
00:00:52.51\00:00:55.32
and He shall direct your paths."
00:00:55.35\00:00:57.72
No matter what we think we know,
00:00:57.75\00:01:00.06
our understanding is
dwarfed by our humanity.
00:01:00.09\00:01:02.99
God sees what is unseen by us.
00:01:03.02\00:01:05.66
He knows the end
from the beginning
00:01:05.69\00:01:08.23
and He has our
eternal benefit in mind.
00:01:08.26\00:01:10.77
We must trust Him.
00:01:10.80\00:01:12.53
Faith comes by
hearing the Word of God.
00:01:12.57\00:01:15.20
To fortify our faith, we
need knowledge of His Word.
00:01:15.24\00:01:18.84
If we've
received Christ as Savior,
00:01:18.87\00:01:21.28
all of God's promises are ours.
00:01:21.31\00:01:23.31
We must trust
and believe His Word
00:01:23.35\00:01:25.38
with absolute assurance.
00:01:25.41\00:01:28.55
Faith is the
instrument we use to access
00:01:28.58\00:01:31.02
the gifts of God's grace.
00:01:31.05\00:01:32.92
You might say
grace writes the check,
00:01:32.95\00:01:35.36
faith takes it to the bank.
00:01:35.39\00:01:37.23
Faith is an eager expectation
of God's unseen promises
00:01:37.26\00:01:41.33
as we rely on His
love and His power
00:01:41.36\00:01:43.67
to keep us on His path of life.
00:01:43.70\00:01:46.50
Faith is the
essential ingredient
00:01:46.53\00:01:48.87
for spiritual life,
00:01:48.90\00:01:50.51
and we are alive
to respond to faith
00:01:50.54\00:01:54.21
if we are to please God at all.
00:01:54.24\00:01:56.78
Encamped along
the hills of light
00:02:05.89\00:02:10.43
Ye Christian soldiers, rise
00:02:10.46\00:02:14.66
And press the
battle ere the night
00:02:14.70\00:02:19.23
Shall veil the glowing skies
00:02:19.27\00:02:23.67
Against the foe in vales below
00:02:23.71\00:02:27.94
Let all our strength be hurled
00:02:27.98\00:02:32.38
Faith is the victory, we know
00:02:32.41\00:02:37.25
That overcomes the world
00:02:37.29\00:02:41.96
Faith is the victory
00:02:41.99\00:02:46.23
Faith is the victory
00:02:46.26\00:02:50.47
Oh, glorious victory
00:02:50.50\00:02:54.60
That overcomes
00:02:54.64\00:02:57.77
The world
00:02:57.81\00:03:01.01
Oh, my Father,
God, I just thank You
00:03:01.04\00:03:04.61
for the love that
You've bestowed upon us.
00:03:04.65\00:03:08.18
I think of all the
times when I have heard
00:03:08.22\00:03:12.09
in Your Word where
You have spoken to people
00:03:12.12\00:03:16.26
and said that their
faith had made them whole,
00:03:16.29\00:03:19.49
or their faith had saved
them, and where Your Son prayed
00:03:19.53\00:03:22.90
that their faith
would not fail them.
00:03:22.93\00:03:26.43
Father, I ask that You
would increase our faith.
00:03:26.47\00:03:31.17
The apostles asked that
Jesus increased their faith.
00:03:31.21\00:03:34.71
Father, increase our faith.
00:03:34.74\00:03:36.95
Help us to have faith.
00:03:36.98\00:03:38.95
Faith in You and
faith in Your Son.
00:03:38.98\00:03:41.92
I thank You, Father, that
00:03:41.95\00:03:44.29
by grace, we are
saved through faith.
00:03:44.32\00:03:48.16
I give You all praise
and glory in Jesus' name.
00:03:48.19\00:03:51.49
Amen.
00:03:51.53\00:03:52.86
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:03:55.33\00:03:57.07
thank You for Your Holy Word
that is filled with promises.
00:03:57.10\00:04:00.87
I read of how You were
00:04:00.90\00:04:02.70
always there for Your
children in times past.
00:04:02.74\00:04:05.87
Just helps me to know
You are here for me today.
00:04:05.91\00:04:09.41
I need not fear,
00:04:09.44\00:04:10.78
but have faith in
You and Your promises.
00:04:10.81\00:04:13.72
There is nothing in
me that produces faith.
00:04:13.75\00:04:17.02
It only comes from You.
00:04:17.05\00:04:19.59
Thank You for
this gift called faith.
00:04:19.62\00:04:22.12
May I receive more
and more faith every day,
00:04:22.16\00:04:25.56
in Jesus' name I pray.
00:04:25.59\00:04:27.26
Amen.
00:04:27.30\00:04:31.13
To Him who overcomes the foe
00:04:31.17\00:04:36.60
White raiment shall be giv'n
00:04:36.64\00:04:41.88
Before the angels he shall know
00:04:41.91\00:04:46.92
His name confessed in heav'n
00:04:46.95\00:04:51.55
Then onward from
the hills of light
00:04:51.59\00:04:56.56
Our hearts with love aflame
00:04:56.59\00:05:01.16
We'll vanquish
all the hosts of night
00:05:01.20\00:05:06.50
In Jesus' conqu'ring name
00:05:06.53\00:05:11.64
Faith is the victory
00:05:11.67\00:05:16.31
Faith is the victory
00:05:16.34\00:05:20.65
Oh, glorious victory
00:05:20.68\00:05:25.12
That overcomes
00:05:25.15\00:05:28.32
the world
00:05:28.36\00:05:31.83
Lord, You have said
00:05:31.86\00:05:33.70
that if we have the
faith of a mustard seed,
00:05:33.73\00:05:36.13
we can move mountains.
00:05:36.16\00:05:38.10
We believe in You and
we believe Your promises.
00:05:38.13\00:05:41.70
So now, Lord,
00:05:41.74\00:05:43.07
I ask for an extra
measure of powerful faith
00:05:43.10\00:05:46.11
for each and every one of
Your children at this time.
00:05:46.14\00:05:50.08
Take away their doubt
00:05:50.11\00:05:51.68
and teach them to
use their faith in You
00:05:51.71\00:05:54.15
for Your glory
and for Your people.
00:05:54.18\00:05:58.02
Give us faith to
move the mountains
00:05:58.05\00:06:00.19
that overwhelm us and divide us.
00:06:00.22\00:06:03.16
We ask all this in
Your precious name.
00:06:03.19\00:06:05.66
Amen.
00:06:05.69\00:06:07.03
Heavenly Father,
00:06:11.17\00:06:12.73
we come to You today,
praising You for who You are,
00:06:12.77\00:06:15.57
King of kings and Lord of lords,
00:06:15.60\00:06:17.84
the great creator of all things.
00:06:17.87\00:06:20.31
And we praise You
and thank You, Lord,
00:06:20.34\00:06:22.31
for Your Word,
00:06:22.34\00:06:23.68
because through Your
Word, we have faith to know
00:06:23.71\00:06:26.08
that Your promises are true.
00:06:26.11\00:06:28.35
You are faithful.
00:06:28.38\00:06:29.72
You have always been faithful.
00:06:29.75\00:06:31.22
You are the same
yesterday, today and tomorrow.
00:06:31.25\00:06:34.39
And we are saved by
grace through faith,
00:06:34.42\00:06:37.43
our faith in You
00:06:37.46\00:06:39.09
and how wonderful
the words must've been
00:06:39.13\00:06:41.43
to those who were healed.
00:06:41.46\00:06:43.20
In the scriptures it says,
00:06:43.23\00:06:44.73
"Your faith has made you whole."
00:06:44.77\00:06:47.00
May we have the faith
that it takes to make us whole
00:06:47.04\00:06:49.90
and to continue to
love You and serve You
00:06:49.94\00:06:51.94
as always that we should,
for it's in Jesus name we pray.
00:06:51.97\00:06:55.98
Amen.
00:06:56.01\00:06:57.35
Dear Heavenly Father,
00:07:01.22\00:07:02.55
thank You for the gift of faith.
00:07:02.58\00:07:05.22
We need this faith every
day and today more than ever.
00:07:05.25\00:07:10.26
Thank You, Lord,
for being so wonderful
00:07:10.29\00:07:13.66
and for increasing that
faith that can move mountains.
00:07:13.70\00:07:18.87
We just need to
trust in You every day
00:07:18.90\00:07:22.10
and
everything's going to be okay
00:07:22.14\00:07:24.27
because You are
our Father in heaven.
00:07:24.31\00:07:28.31
Thank You, Lord.
00:07:28.34\00:07:29.74
We thank You in Jesus' name.
00:07:29.78\00:07:31.71
Amen.
00:07:31.75\00:07:34.85
1 Corinthians 2:5 says that
00:07:34.88\00:07:38.75
"Your faith should not
be in the wisdom of men,
00:07:38.79\00:07:42.52
but in the power of God."
00:07:42.56\00:07:45.59
Father, we will not
put our trust in man,
00:07:45.63\00:07:48.73
no matter how
bright they may seem
00:07:48.76\00:07:54.07
and no matter how
great their plan may be.
00:07:54.10\00:07:56.87
Lord, we know that Your
ways are higher than ours
00:07:56.91\00:08:00.88
and so we will
put our faith in You.
00:08:00.91\00:08:03.31
1 John 5:4 says, "For
whatever is born of God,
00:08:03.35\00:08:07.12
overcomes the world."
00:08:07.15\00:08:09.12
And this is the victory
that has overcome the world,
00:08:09.15\00:08:12.72
our faith.
00:08:12.75\00:08:14.69
Thank You for
that victory, Lord.
00:08:14.72\00:08:18.19
May faith rise up in us
00:08:18.23\00:08:20.73
for whatever need
we are going through.
00:08:20.76\00:08:23.26
May faith arise
that You are able,
00:08:23.30\00:08:28.50
You are willing
to hear and to heal
00:08:28.54\00:08:32.57
and to meet our need.
00:08:32.61\00:08:36.04
2 Timothy 4:7, "I
have fought the good fight,
00:08:36.08\00:08:40.22
I have finished the race,
and I have kept the faith."
00:08:40.25\00:08:44.02
Father, for those who
are watching, who have been
00:08:44.05\00:08:47.22
soldiers of the
light for multiple years.
00:08:47.26\00:08:51.19
Lord, I ask that You
will give them the strength
00:08:51.23\00:08:53.40
to continue fighting,
00:08:53.43\00:08:56.10
to keep the faith
right until the very end.
00:08:56.13\00:08:58.40
For all of us may
that be what we can say
00:08:58.43\00:09:02.27
that we kept the
faith right to the very end.
00:09:02.30\00:09:07.38
Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be
strong and of good courage.
00:09:07.41\00:09:12.85
Do not fear nor
be afraid of them,
00:09:12.88\00:09:15.58
for the Lord Your God,
00:09:15.62\00:09:17.39
He is the one who goes with You.
00:09:17.42\00:09:19.95
He will not leave
You nor forsake You."
00:09:19.99\00:09:23.39
Father, I thank
You for these promises.
00:09:23.43\00:09:27.10
You're not going anywhere.
00:09:27.13\00:09:29.76
You've got us in
Your hand and, Lord,
00:09:29.80\00:09:35.50
I'm not holding on to
You, You are holding on to me.
00:09:35.54\00:09:40.98
I don't have the
strength to hold on to You.
00:09:41.01\00:09:44.45
That's why I can trust You
00:09:44.48\00:09:47.25
to be my God and my Father.
00:09:47.28\00:09:51.35
Father, I pray for those
00:09:51.39\00:09:52.99
who are dealing with addictions.
00:09:53.02\00:09:58.49
Father God, I ask that You would
00:09:58.53\00:10:01.56
give them the strength
to resist temptation, Lord,
00:10:01.60\00:10:05.53
to turn from
evil and to trust You
00:10:09.17\00:10:13.41
to be their source of strength
00:10:13.44\00:10:17.65
and to desire You.
00:10:17.68\00:10:21.22
Father, I pray
Father, for those who are
00:10:21.25\00:10:25.25
dealing with skin issues
00:10:25.29\00:10:27.76
who need a healing
00:10:27.79\00:10:31.96
for those who
have internal issues,
00:10:31.99\00:10:34.93
healing needed for cancers
00:10:34.96\00:10:38.73
and the different
organ issues Lord.
00:10:38.77\00:10:43.77
Father, we received
these prayer requests
00:10:43.81\00:10:46.21
and I'm just asking God
that You would reach down
00:10:46.24\00:10:48.74
and meet us in
the area of our need.
00:10:48.78\00:10:52.71
We are truly a needy people.
00:10:52.75\00:10:54.55
God, there are those
who need Your guidance.
00:10:59.25\00:11:01.72
We all need it.
00:11:01.76\00:11:03.09
But specifically
those who are praying
00:11:03.12\00:11:06.90
and requesting
prayer for protection,
00:11:06.93\00:11:11.33
physical protection,
00:11:11.37\00:11:13.03
this one needing to
make a decision in His life.
00:11:13.07\00:11:17.57
Oh, God,
00:11:17.61\00:11:21.14
we know that You are able
00:11:21.18\00:11:22.54
to lead and protect.
00:11:25.71\00:11:27.48
So I wanna remind You
00:11:30.92\00:11:33.46
that faith sees the invisible.
00:11:33.49\00:11:37.83
It believes the impossible.
00:11:37.86\00:11:40.56
It receives the
incredible, no matter
00:11:40.60\00:11:45.53
what things really look like,
00:11:45.57\00:11:47.94
no matter what your
circumstances looks like,
00:11:47.97\00:11:50.84
faith moves the unmovable.
00:11:50.87\00:11:53.34
It proves the unprovable,
00:11:53.38\00:11:57.05
if you are only
willing to trust.
00:11:57.08\00:12:01.48
Just believe and you will see
00:12:01.52\00:12:05.59
what faith does.
00:12:05.62\00:12:07.29
Faith is the victory
00:12:12.99\00:12:18.93
Faith is the victory
00:12:18.97\00:12:24.57
Oh, glorious victory
00:12:24.61\00:12:30.25
That overcomes
00:12:30.28\00:12:32.61
The world
00:12:32.65\00:12:36.92
You've given us victory
00:12:36.95\00:12:42.66
To overcome
00:12:42.69\00:12:47.50
the world
00:12:47.53\00:12:52.93
Make God's Word a
part of your daily life.
00:12:56.17\00:12:59.57
Faith comes by
hearing, hearing by the Word.
00:12:59.61\00:13:04.41
We can't make it without
the Word of God in our lives.
00:13:04.45\00:13:08.98
So make His Word
a daily part of you.
00:13:09.02\00:13:13.76
God is faithful in His Word.
00:13:13.79\00:13:16.22
It'll be there for
you when you need it
