As I’ve said many times: faith in God’s Word comes by hearing God’s Word, over and over and over. Faith doesn’t come by having heard! Everything you need from God comes by faith because faith is the access road to His promises. 

Now I know that there’s more in the Bible than faith but everything in the Bible works by faith! That’s important!

There are numerous things that can block and negate your faith and therefore, stop you from receiving the blessings you desire. The one I want to address today is unforgiveness. I know this is going to touch a chord in some people but stick with me and it’ll be good.

Unforgiveness is in direct violation of God’s Word. And since God can’t bless rebellion to His Word, unforgiveness has to be dealt with and eliminated. Let’s look at what Jesus had to say:

Matthew 18:32-35 (KJV) ³²  Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: ³³  Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? ³⁴  And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.³⁵  So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

Mark 11:25-26 (KJV) ²⁵  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. ²⁶  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

As you can see, unforgiveness is totally against what Jesus taught: that we should forgive one another, just as our Heavenly Father has so graciously forgiven us. But if we don’t forgive, we won’t be forgiven. However, this is not talking about the sins that Jesus paid for on the cross. Those are already paid for. What it means is that when we hold unforgiveness toward someone, it opens the door for the devil to beat our spiritual brains out and torment us. This is not a pretty picture! 

When you forgive, you’re really doing it for yourself and not the other person, who probably doesn’t give a hoot! Also, forgiving someone doesn’t mean they were right and you were wrong. Forgiveness means that you refuse to hold a grudge against anyone. You don’t want to “rent space” in your mind regarding that other person! We can do this!

You can’t be in faith when you’re acting against God’s Word. It will short-circuit your faith and you won’t get anything. So how do you forgive someone who has really hurt you? By just forgiving! It’s a choice and it’s not based on feelings. Remember, if you only go by your feelings, you’ll be a spiritual cripple and never walk in the supernatural things of God.

Choosing to forgive is simply a decision to actually forgive! You decide. It’s an act of your will and you can do it. The Lord would be unrighteous to tell us to do something that we couldn’t do. If you wait ’til you feel like forgiving, you probably won’t do it. So, just do it and get on with your life. Living in torment is not a life worth living and you’re the one who’s being tormented, not the other person.

Too many times we brush unforgiveness under the ol’ proverbial carpet and hope we don’t have to deal with it. You’re an overcomer, so overcome and use your faith to please God and fulfill all the plans He has for you!

1 John 5:4 (KJV) ⁴  For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Get rid of that evil unforgiveness and live in peace — Pamela

How many times have you been in a situation when you knew your faith wasn’t strong enough to overcome? Unfortunately for many, it’s way too often. My pastor says if you wait ’til you have the need, you waited too long.

Let’s look at some examples. If you wait ’til you’re sick to start confessing healing scriptures, it’s too late. If you wait ’til the taxes are due before you start confessing financial scriptures, it’s too late. So, what do you do?

Instead of waiting ’til you get sick, start confessing health and healing scriptures and speaking to your body now: No weapon formed against me shall prosper; God always causes me to triumph in Christ Jesus; with long life will He satisfy me; by the stripes of Jesus I have been healed; my youth is renewed as the eagles. [Isaiah 54:17; II Corinthians 2:14; Psalm 91:16; I Peter 2:24; Psalm 103:5]

By confessing what God has to say, you’re fortifying yourself before the attack and in most cases, your faith-filled positive confessions will actually ward off the attacks.

God’s Word always works but you have to build up your walls ahead of time. Faith in God’s Word comes by hearing God’s Word. You can’t build your faith in the middle of a crisis, any more than building a boat in the middle of a flood.

Building and developing strong faith takes diligence and effort, doing it on purpose. You don’t get strong faith by accident! Get into the Word and let the Word get into you. God is faithful, faithful, faithful and He is always looking for someone who will stand on His Word, believe it, and see it come to pass. [II Chronicles 16:9a]

Romans 10:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 

 Let’s get building — Pamela

Being consistent is of the utmost importance if you’re ever going to succeed in what you’re doing. For example, exercising. If you want the full benefits of exercise, you have to do it on a regular basis. If you want the full benefits of dieting, you have to do it on a regular basis. Intermittent adherence to exercise – being a week-end warrior – or dieting once a week is not going to get you the desired results you want.

And so it is with the promises of God. Reading a promise verse daily is not going to build your faith for said promise. Listening to one short Sunday sermon is not going to cause you to develop strong faith. What you do on a consistent basis is what will have an effect on you. Unfortunately, it even works in the negative. Listening to negative things on TV will cause them to have an effect on you – fear, worry, anxiety.

Faith in God comes by hearing and hearing and hearing His Word. It doesn’t come by having heard! It’s a daily, 24/7 process – always keeping the Word of God before your eyes and in your ears. Everyone can do it. It’s a matter of choosing what’s important to you.

Am I saying you have to have your nose in the Bible every minute? No. I’m saying you have to get the Word into your heart and that will cause you to be able to meditate on it day and night. You’re always thinking about something. That’s not the problem. It’s what you’re thinking about that causes faith to develop or to be hindered.

Thinking on negative things will hinder your faith: things like fear, worry, anxiety. You are well able to choose to think on good things. God tells you to do that and if He told you do something, then you CAN do it!

Purpose in your heart to give God more of your time by getting into His Word and studying it to develop your faith. Remember, you don’t get strong faith accidentally. It takes effort and diligence on a consistent basis. And when you do it God’s way, you will succeed!

Romans 10:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 

Philippians 4:8 (KJV) ⁸  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 

Happy studying — Pamela

Paul told us in Ephesians to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

Ephesians 6:10 (KJV) ¹⁰  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 

The word POWER in this verse is the Greek word kratos which means a power that is demonstrative, eruptive, and tangible and almost always comes with an external or outward manifestation. It’s the same word that is used in Ephesians 1:19-20:

Ephesians 1:19-20 (KJV) ¹⁹  And what is the exceeding greatness of his power [dunamis] to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power [kratos],²⁰  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

The power that raised Jesus from the dead is the kratos power of God – demonstrative, eruptive, tangible. It’s all part of His dunamis – miraculous power – but in demonstration.

Romans 8:11 (KJV) ¹¹  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

Do you see that the same power of God that raised Jesus from the dead is the same power of God that dwells in you! That’s awesome! 

When the power of God shot through Jesus’ body, it changed Him! And that’s what can happen to you. When the power of God shoots through you, it WILL change you!

We are told to be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Too many times we succumb to the ways of the world because we’ve been in it for so long. If they say that by a certain age, eyes begin to change, hearing starts to go, memory lapses increase, and we get weaker physically, we agree with them. Then we fall into the same programming and end up getting exactly what we have confessed and believed for, but not what we truly want.

After all, people say, I’m just human! But that’s not true, if you’ve been born-again. You’re not just human. One-third of you is wall-to-wall Holy Ghost and He’s perfect! You have the power of Almighty God residing in you to help you in every way!

Nowhere in the Bible does it say that you have to get weak and decrepit. Your eyes don’t have to dim, or your hearing subside, or your physical condition weaken making you susceptible to any number of available sicknesses, diseases, and afflictions. Moses is a prime example:

Deuteronomy 34:7 (KJV) ⁷  And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 

Your organs don’t have to diminish or weaken. You can be strong in your senior years and continue to live a vibrant, full life until the Rapture or until you’re satisfied and ready to go home to Heaven. It’s your choice and highly dependent on the words of your mouth.

As born-again believers, we need to stop making excuses for our weaknesses and focus on God’s power in us that’s available 24/7.

 Psalm 91:16 (KJV) ¹⁶  With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. 

Go get ‘em — Pamela

How many times have you prayed without assurance of your answer, not knowing whether or not you actually made any heavenly contact? Unfortunately for many, this is a common occurrence. But, the good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way. You can have assurance when you pray. Read on . . .

1 Peter 3:12a (KJV) ¹²  For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers:

1 Corinthians 1:30 (KJV) ³⁰  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV) ²¹  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

If you’ve been born-again, Jesus is your righteousness whether or not you feel like it. You were made righteous in Him and therefore God hears your prayers. 

Righteousness means right standing with God. When we’re in Jesus, we’re all that God wants us to be and we’re in right standing with Him, something we could never do ourselves. It had to be by Jesus’ redemptive sacrifice.

As born-again Christians, our hearts continually desire to be and stay in right relationship with God. And thankfully, Jesus made a way for that to be. By His redemption, He became our righteousness – our right standing with God, Therefore, when we accepted Him as our Lord and Savior, we accepted His righteousness for ourselves. We are now the righteousness of Him — in right standing with God, now and forever.

I said all this to show that God does indeed hear our faith-filled prayers. But as the title says, we need to use our faith password to access all of His promises because God is only moved by faith. He will answer all faith-filled prayers based on His Word. [Hebrews 11:6]

1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) ¹⁴  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: ¹⁵  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

We can have assurance regarding our prayers. When we pray in faith according to God’s Word (which is His will), we know that He hears us, and then, because He hears us, we can know that we have the answer to our prayers.

However, just because you desire to pray faith-filled prayers and you think you’re in faith, doesn’t necessarily mean you are. Faith is of the heart, not the head. Faith has to get down into your spirit so that you know, that you know, that you know and are convinced that God’s Word works and it will work for you. That’s faith.

God is always on the look-out for those who will believe Him and His Word so that He can show Himself strong and move on their behalf.

2 Chronicles 16:9a (KJV) ⁹  For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

 Be one of those people — Pamela

Too many times when FAITH is mentioned, it’s received negatively. Why is that? I think it’s because people really don’t know what it means to have faith. Perhaps they think it means to really, really, really want something to happen or not happen.  

For example, they might really want to be healed so they have faith that they will get healed. Or they might be afraid that something bad will happen but they have faith  that all will be well. Is this really the God- kind of faith that we see in the Bible?

Faith, the God-kind of faith is not wishful thinking, it’s not strong desire, and it’s not even a feeling. The God-kind of faith is simply believing that what God has said in His Word is true and then acting that way. It’s our positive response to what God has already freely given to us by His grace.

If we truly love the Lord Jesus, then we, of necessity, must love His Word because He is the Word of God. And if we truly want to please God, we MUST develop our faith by getting into His Word and walking in it because without faith it’s impossible to please God. [Hebrews 11:6]

We need to find the promises given to us for every situation we’re in and stand on them. Let’s do all we can to develop our faith to where we are pleasing God and moving the mountains in our lives!

Romans 10:17 (KJV) ¹⁷  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 

John 1:1 (KJV) ¹  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

Mark 11:23 (KJV) ²³  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 

Go for it – Pamela

Proverbs 21:2 (KJV) ²  Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. 

Proverbs 12:15 (KJV) ¹⁵  The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. 

These are some very interesting scriptures. We all think our way is the right way. And, to a degree, that’s good. But if what we purport is not right, then there’s a problem.  Being passionate about what you believe can be a good trait as long as what you’re believing lines up with God’s Word.

Have you ever been so sure you were right about something and then found out you were 180 degrees off the track? I’ve been there and it’s a very humbling thing to realize that you were so sure of something but yet so wrong!

We need to be particularly diligent about God’s Word and where we stand. Believing His Word is the only way we’ll ever get what He has for us. To say we believe His Word, means we actually have to walk in His Word. Just saying we believe doesn’t get us the victory. It’s a heart issue; that’s where we have to believe it.

If God’s Word tells us to do things a certain way, then we need to do it His way. We can’t make up our own rules and then expect God to abide by them! It doesn’t work that way. 

Many times we pray and expect instant results — who doesn’t? But when we don’t get those results instantly or even after a few days, what do we do? Do we throw up our hands and say God’s Word doesn’t work or do we dig in our heels and stand firm on God’s integrity – His Word? [I Kings 8:56b]

Complaining to God about how long everything is taking is not prayer! Standing firm on His Word and commanding the victory is what we’re to do. Don’t quit or give up. That’s called unbelief and laziness. And as we know, God doesn’t bless unbelief or laziness. He blesses faith and He moves on our faith-filled prayers – always!

God tells us to speak to the mountain, then you speak to the mountain. Don’t ask God to speak to the mountain. [Mark 11:23-24]

God says to submit to Him and resist the devil and he will flee, then that’s what you are to do. You don’t ask God to get the devil off your back. [James 4:7]

God says faith comes by hearing His Word, then you need to hear His Word to get faith developed in you. You don’t ask God to give you more faith. [Romans 10:17]

God says He’s given us authority and power over all the power of the devil and that we have dominion, then we need to take our dominion, speak to the problem, and command obedience. [Luke 10:19; Gen. 1:26]

We are the victors in Christ Jesus. We need to take our rightful place in faith and demand results according to God’s Word.

 2 Corinthians 2:14 (KJV) ¹⁴  Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

John 14:13-14 (KJV) ¹³  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

Let’s get goin’ – Pamela

Let me reiterate: Does God answer every prayer?  If He does, that’s great but if He doesn’t, which ones does He answer and which ones doesn’t He answer? These are good questions and ones that many people have asked.

First of all, let’s define what prayer is. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, prayer is a reverential petition made to a deity. So, in light of that definition, one would have to know which deity is being prayed to. In our case, as Christians, it would be Almighty God, Creator of the Heavens and earth. As you know, there are many people praying to idols and false gods. That’s not us.

So how do we know if and when God answers our prayers? To begin, He doesn’t answer every prayer that’s prayed, even by Christians. Why? Because, as you know, everything with God is a faith issue and a heart issue. If we’re not in faith when we pray, those prayers never make it to the Throne Room.

Next, we have to look at what He has already said in His Word to find the answer to this question.

1 John 5:14-15 (KJV)
¹⁴  And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
¹⁵  And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

This makes it quite simple: for God to answer your prayers, you have to pray in faith according to His Word, His will. Then it’s a given that He will hear and answer. God doesn’t answer prayers of unbelief. That would violate His Word and it would mean that He has gone back on His Word and the whole universe would implode.

John 1:3 (KJV) ³  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Hebrews 1:3a (KJV) ³  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,  

My observation has been that many Christians are pleading and begging God to do something about their problem. This will not get the desired results because faith is the way to please God and get answers. [Hebrews 11:6]

Remember, faith is a law of God and it works exactly as He set it up to work. Our problem is that we’ve made up our own rules and then wonder why our prayers go unanswered. [Romans 3:27]

 And then there’s the God-part/man-part. God has already done His part but we have to do our part. Too many times people pray for God to do their part and He won’t do that. Let me give you an example.

Many times people pray for God to get the devil off their back when He has told us to resist the devil and he will flee from us! [James 4:7; I Peter 5:8-9]

Then we have Mark 11:23-24 where God tells us to speak to the problem and command it to leave. Then we have to believe we receive the answer before we even see it. Wow! How many actually do that? I wonder! But the really cool thing is that it works when you do it! Oh that God’s people would actually believe Him and do what He says so that they could live a life worth living on planet earth!

So you see, dear brothers and sisters, God wants to answer our prayers. We just need to do it His way and be so glad we did!

Let’s do it God’s way – Pamela

Remember, fear paralyzes us and draws to us the very thing we’re fearful of, causing us to miss God’s answer for us because we’re focused on what the devil is doing. What you’re looking at is what you’re moving toward.

Galatians 3:13 (KJV) ¹³  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

We have been redeemed from the curse of the law, listed in Deut. 28:15-61. Every sickness, disease, virus, etc. is under the curse of the law and we have been delivered from it. The curse has no right to attach itself to our bodies. This is where the man-part comes into play. We are the ones who have to stand against the evil ways of the devil. We have to use our authority and rebuke it and stand on Ps. 91 and the other scriptures and not waver. And that, dear brothers and sisters, takes faith.

Faith is the access door to all the promises of God. Just because God has said it and promised it in his Word, doesn’t mean the promises are going to fall on us like ripe cherries off a tree. We have our part to do and we are the ones who have to take hold of the promises with our faith.

Like it or not, that’s the way it works because that’s the way God has set it up to work. He’s a faith God and that’s how He operates. We are made in His image and that’s how He intended for us to operate. If we do things God’s way, then we’ll get God’s results. And that’s what we want.

We are the ones who have been given dominion over the power of the devil and we are the ones who have to resist him. God has given us all the tools we need: the Name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus, the Word of God, the Holy Spirit, the angels, the whole armor of God, etc. We are equipped but we have to use it. We have to take our stand and not waver but stand firm and see God’s deliverance. We are overcomers and we are victorious!

I believe that a great revival of the Word is breaking forth throughout the world and we will see multitudes of people turn to the Lord and take their rightful place. Praise the Lord of Glory!

James 1:6-8 (KJV) ⁶  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. ⁷  For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. ⁸  A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Mark 16:18 (KJV) ¹⁸  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Matthew 10:26 (KJV) ²⁶  Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

Get yourself into God’s dwelling place and fear not — Pamela

Deuteronomy 28:1 (KJV) ¹  And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

Fear paralyzes us and puts us in a state of non-resistance to the enemy and his evil ways. That’s because we’re focused on what the devil is doing instead of what God has promised us in His Word.

Also, fear draws to you the very thing that you’re fearful of. It’s a deadly trick of the enemy to get you off-course.

Faith gives us access to God’s power! With all that is going on in the world today, it behooves us to take a look at what God has to say about all this. Is He really protecting us or should we all just cower and hide? Just how protected are we?

Well, I’m glad you asked because it’s important to know just where we stand regarding the promises of God. Can we really depend on God in a time of crisis or do we have to get on His waiting list?

I know these seem like silly questions but I think many people ask them and really don’t know the answer. As I have said many times, you can’t just shoot up a prayer hoping it sticks and then wonder why it didn’t work. There’s more to it than that. Read on.

Notice in the opening scripture that verse one is the first of 14 verses of blessings that God had for His people but there is a catch. We have to pay attention and do what He has said. Then the blessings come on us. But if we don’t, then we open up ourselves to the curses which are listed in verses 15-61.

As I have said many times, there’s a God-part and a man-part. God has already done His part and now it’s up to us to do our part to access His promises.

We all love Ps. 91 but I want you to notice something in verse one:

Psalm 91:1 (KJV) ¹  He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

God is specifically addressing those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High, namely with God. Those who have made Jesus their Lord and Savior, walking in His ways, and dwelling in Him are the ones that are protected. It’s not the unsaved because they haven’t made the Lord their habitation or dwelling place.

Having said all that, let’s talk about our protection.

Isaiah 54:17a (KJV) ¹⁷  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.  

Here we see that no weapon can prosper against us if we abide in the Lord. We have to rebuke every evil report that comes against us to discourage us and cause fear to overtake us. Just because someone says something evil doesn’t mean we have to receive the evil report. God’s report is what counts.

James 4:7 (KJV) ⁷  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Romans 8:11 (KJV) ¹¹  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Here we see that the Holy Spirit in us quickens us – makes us alive. This is a good healing scripture.
