UNDERSTANDING WHAT FAITH IS. Part 64.

Hebrews 1:2 (KJV) "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
Romans 8:16-17 (KJV) "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;...."

64. Faith is Based On Inheritance. An inheritance is an irreversible and irrevocable gift from a father to his children through his written will. It is irreversible and irrevocable because the testator, the father or writer of the will is dead. So God in Christ Jesus died in order to pass all He has and all his creation to us His sons as inheritance. The word of God is God's last will. Faith receives only what belongs to him by inheritance. As a result only sons can have faith. Hence faith was not revealed until the new testament when God began to have sons in Christ Jesus. John 1:12-13 (KJV) "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Only sons can exercise faith to receive from God as a Father. Servants and slaves cannot have faith and cannot exercise faith. The word of God is the will of God that tells us and shows us what belongs to us by inheritance as sons of God, so that by faith we can receive them. God created and owns all things by the word. In the word we see the substance of all that we are hoping for and in the word we have all the evidence that all things are ours by inheritance.

Jesus the son of God and the word of God is the heir or owner of all things by inheritance as the first begotten son of the Father. As sons of God in Him and of Him we are also joint heirs and co-owners of all things by inheritance with Him. Faith receive only what is given by inheritance not what you labour for or what you earned. Abraham was said to have faith because God offered him by inheritance the whole world. God demanded faith from the Israelites to take the promised land because it was based on the inheritance promised to their father Abraham. Hence of all the sins the Israelites committed in the wilderness only the sin of unbelief hindered them from the inheritance. The bible says Romans 4:13 (KJV) For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. As the faith children of Abraham the whole world belongs to us. So in Christ Jesus by inheritance all things are ours.

We exercise faith to receive only what is already ours by inheritance, not what is ours by works or self righteousness. And not what is going to be ours but what is already ours. Faith is not trying to get something from God or a means of getting something from God but a means of receiving or taking delivery of what belongs to us. Faith is how we possess our possessions. Faith is not a means of getting God to do something for us or a means of persuading or convincing God to do something for us. On the contrary faith is how we became persuaded and convinced through the word of God what God has already done for us and given to us. So for your faith to work you must first of all know and believe that all things are already yours and that whatever you need now is already yours even before the need came. Whatever we are asking for in prayer, or confessing or commanding, we must believe before, during and after we have prayed, confessed and commanded that they are already ours. They are not ours because we asked or demanded for them, they had been ours in Christ Jesus before the foundation of the world. God has been waiting for us to ask and receive all that belongs to us in Christ Jesus.

All things are already ours waiting for us to receive them, not for God to give them to us. It is not when we prayed or asked that God will give them to us. No, God had already in Christ Jesus before we were born given them to us only waiting for us to know it by the word and release our faith to receive them freely unconditionally. The only condition for receiving in the new testament is by faith. Jesus showed that as an example in His earthly ministry. No one was healed or blessed through Him except by their faith. No one merited to be healed and no one was qualified to be healed except their faith. Even those who were disqualified because they were not Israelites, their faith qualified them. Those who failed to believe failed to receive from Jesus.

So receiving in the new testament is not a matter of power or anointing or self righteousness but of faith. Jesus was anointed beyond measure yet only those with faith received from that unlimited power or anointing. God is able to do for us exceeding abundantly only according to our faith. Your faith determine the level of the omnipotent power of God available for you. It is like a well, whatever you use to draw water from the well will determine the quantity of water you will get. Grace be with you. Romans 4:13-25; 8:14-17; Galatians 3:26-29; Ephesians 1:3-8; 3:6; Titus 3:7; 1Corinthians 3:21-23; Hebrews 1:5-6,14; 3:19; 4:2,6; 5:5; 6:17; 11:9; James 2:5; 1John 3:1-2; 4:9; John 1:1-3,14; 3:16; Colossians 1:16-20; Revelation 1:5; Matthew 7:7; 8:5-13,26; 9:2,29; Mark 5:34; 6:1-6; 9:23; 11:23-24; 14:31; 15:28; 17:17-20; Luke 1:38,45; 17:14; Ephesians 3:20;

If you need healing the bible says in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Heaven is real, Hell is real. Jesus is coming very soon. Judgement Day is coming. But you can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: Father God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed the prayer of Salvation, pls go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be you. To Jesus be all the glory.
