Offertory scripture:
Sermon message:
Thesis: The language of faith, part 2
Faith is at the core of solving life’s problems.
People of faith solve problems. But people of fear are too caught up in the fear to solve problems.
Case study: Joseph in the Old Testament. He needed to hold on while he endured challenges. But he was still ready to be used by God and blessed by God. God used Joseph to help solve a problem with the upcoming famine.
God used President Abraham Lincoln to solve the problem of slavery.
Faith blockages block faith’s ability to solve problems. We need to therefore clear the blockages. Faith needs to flow to fix problems.
To review: the different types of faith:
- The faith of entrance
- The faith of development
- The faith for miracles
These stages of faith are sequential.
You need to keep the language of faith going. You need to continuously speak the word of God. This is key for continuously speaking the language of faith. The payoff is that this will solve problems.
God takes care of you physically.
God takes care of you spiritually.
God takes care of you socially.
Point 1: speak the language of faith in times of danger.
Psalm 23:3A
“He restoreth my soul”
He restores my mind.
He restores my emotions.
He restores my ability to make decisions.
He restores my hopes.
He restores my dreams.
By speaking the language of faith, no matter what happens, you will have your mind restored. By getting into the Word of God, and confessing His word, you will speak restoration in your life.
Point 2: affirm God’s presence
“God is with me.”
God is still there even when we don’t see or feel God’s presence with us.
Let your faith set the limit of your feelings/fear.
Point 3: Acknowledge God’s protection
Psalm 23:4B
Point #4: Declare God’s guidance
Psalm 23:4B
