[Howard Willard Sunday Morning Message - Believers' Fellowship]

The life-style of Faith is to hear the Word of God, believe it with your heart, confess it with your mouth and act upon the WORD OF GOD.

The Preaching of the Gospel or the Good News works like leaven in the hearts of those who receive it.

The leaven works certainly, so does the WORD OF GOD, yet gradually (Luke 13:21).

Seed is the WORD OF GOD and we are to live by every WORD OF GOD (Luke 8:11; 4:4).

We are blessed and are one of His when we hear the WORD OF GOD, do it and keep it (Luke 11:28; 8:21).

IS THE WORD OF GOD GROWING, MULTIPLYING, INCREASING AND PREVAILING IN YOU?

IF NOT TAKE TIME TO MEDITATE GOD'S WORD! 

"And the WORD OF GOD INCREASED; and the number of the disciples MULTIPLIED in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith." (Acts 6:7).

"But the WORD OF GOD GREW and MULTIPLIED." (Acts 12:24).

"So mightily GREW the WORD OF GOD and PREVAILED." (Acts 19:20).

The SEED is the WORD OF GOD which is incorruptible and by which we were born again; the SWORD of the SPIRIT is the WORD OF GOD by which we Pray, fill ourselves and speak with boldness.

So then, Faith comes, Faith is energized and Faith is built up by hearing and obeying the WORD OF GOD.

(Read: Luke 8:11; 1 Peter 1:23; Eph. 6:17; Acts 4:31. Rom. 10:17)

It is God's will that you prosper and be in health even as you keep filling your mind with the WORD OF GOD.

The Written WORD OF GOD is Life Giving and Powerful when it comes out of your mouth.

No WORD OF GOD is void of Power! So speak the Word only and your situation will turn around.

When you give, speak the Word of God over your giving and see the harvest of Blessing coming back to you.

If you've never drunk the Pure Milk of the WORD OF GOD you will make excuses to eat the Meat of the WORD OF GOD and continue dry and thirsty. 

No WORD OF GOD is void of Power, if you can believe all things are possible to him that believes.

His Words are Powerful and Life giving!!

John 16:33 - The WORD OF GOD is Peaceful! Just as Jesus overcame the world's tribulation, you can also overcome by being courageous! 

Hosea 10:12 - Sow the WORD OF GOD into your life and reap His Mercy.

Put away the hardness of your heart, it's time to seek the Lord until He brings in Revelation Knowledge.

Mark 7:13 - Don't make the WORD OF GOD of none effect through your tradition (experiences of people handed down one generation to another).

Nehemiah 8:10 - ...don't be sorrowful, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.

JOY IS NOT WHEN YOU FEEL NICE, BUT JOY IS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE WORD OF GOD IN YOU!

Confession of the WORD OF GOD is Superior and Profitable, than to acknowledge the lie of the devil, which could only ensnare us to live defeated.

No WORD OF GOD is void of Power!
The Great God dwells in you!
The Blood of Jesus has Redeemed you!
You are full of the Spirit of the Living God!

Why aren't many Blessed? Because satan has cleverly got us to be curse conscious, while the WORD OF GOD makes one Blessing conscious.

Don't let satan drain you out making you feel heavy and bound. Instead be refilled continually by the WORD OF GOD and enjoy the freedom in Christ Jesus.

Mark 16:20 - They went around speaking the WORD OF GOD and the Lord confirmed His Word with signs (healing the sick and delivering the oppressed).

As you go around speaking the WORD OF GOD, Jesus Himself will accompany you with signs of healing and delivering the oppressed as He promised.

Just as the wet goes with the water, so does Healing and Deliverance from demon oppression go with the WORD OF GOD.

Matthew 8:8 - Speak the Word only and my servant shall be healed 

For healing you can't be hoping and praying in fear. Many say, "I don't know if it's God's will" or they just take the physicians word as final. But sickness must be addressed with faith and authority, just as Jesus did. Stand on the WORD OF GOD, believe all things are possible with God and command the sickness to go in Jesus Name.

Don't be deceived; going with the wrong crowd only destroys your faith.

Faith comes by hearing the WORD OF GOD, so find the true WORD OF GOD.

Speaking the the WORD OF GOD out of your own mouth shouldn't be your last resort - when everything fails then say "Lets try confessing."

David never shut his mouth but kept on speaking and moved towards his victory.

Confessing God's Word is not as a spare tyre that's used to replace a flat one.

But speaking the WORD OF GOD is most essential for victorious living.

What does it mean to Confess the WORD OF GOD?
Jesus said "It is written..." He did not quote the entire Bible, but exactly what was needed.

God has Blessed you! All His Blessings are in the form of seeds.

The WORD OF GOD is the seed, plant them by speaking the Promises of God.

A double minded person is always unstable in all his ways, but a single minded is firm in what he believes.

God says to purify your mind by the WORD OF GOD.

By birth you're a son of man, but being born again by the incorruptible seed of the WORD OF GOD enables you to be a son of God.

Continue to build your faith by hearing the WORD OF GOD rather than building in fear within you.

Be a winner rather than a loser in life.

Your faith should not be built on empty, unprofitable, worthless religious teachings but only by hearing and confessing the Truth of the WORD OF GOD.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

The proof of the Power of the God is in Believing the WORD OF GOD!

• Do you know why you remain in the House of the Lord forever?

It's because of two wonderful friends, who are following you all the time, namely GOODNESS & MERCY. (Psalm 23:6)

• Do you know why you are not consumed or destroyed?

It's because of the LORD'S MERCIES and HIS UNFAILING COMPASSIONS. (Lamentations 3:22)

• Do you know why you should not fear?

It's because God has not given you a spirit of fear but of POWER, LOVE and A SOUND MIND. (2 Timothy 1:7)

• Do you know why you have power over sickness & disease?

It's because Jesus said, "I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." (Luke 10:19)

• Do you know why you Love people unconditionally?

It's because the LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN YOUR HEART BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. (Romans 5:5)

• Do you know why demons tremble and flee from you?

It's because Jesus said, "BELIEVERS SHALL CAST OUT DEMONS IN MY NAME." (Mark 16:17)

• Do you know why the world hates you?

It's because Jesus has CHOSEN YOU OUT OF THE WORLD, but if you were of the world they would love you. (John 15:19)

• Do you know why some people are called failures?

It's because they never decide to rise up again.

Proverbs 24:16 - For a just man falls seven times (utterly), and rises up again..

• Do you know why your enemies are at peace with you?

Proverbs 16:7 - When a man's ways please the LORD, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

• That IN EVERY THING we are enriched (made wealthy) by HIM, in all utterance (Word), and in all knowledge; (1 Corinthians 1:5)
• "Being enriched IN EVERY THING to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God." (2 Corinthians 9:11)
• My God supplies according to His Unfailing Riches not according to the bankruptcy system of this world.
• Never say "I am poor!" Don't ever say "I am broke!" For Jesus became poor for us and through His poverty God gives us His Riches! (2 Corinthians 8:9)
• The LORD'S blessing makes one rich and adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22).
• Seek the Lord, not the blessing. You look for water if you need to be wet.

Character & Loving Favour

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold (Proverbs 22:1).

DON'T BELIEVE THE LIE OF THE DEVIL!

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich (2 Corinthians 8:9).

PROSPERITY IS NOT OF THE DEVIL, IT'S GOD'S PLAN FOR HIS CHILDREN!

True Financial Freedom is to have over and above to give to every good work.

The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22).

True Financial Freedom is to have over and above to give to every good work.

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus (Philippines 4:19).

Paul with all confidence says "MY Covenant keeping GOD"...Trust Him for all your need.

Don't trust in the world's system of riches because it's always SHORTER and NARROWER.

For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it (Isaiah 28:20).

The world's system teaches profit and loss, but OUR REDEEMER TEACHES ONLY TO PROFIT!

Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD you God which teaches you to profit..(Isaiah 48:17). 

"Get rich quick scheme" is not of the Lord.

Labour not to be rich: cease from your own wisdom. Will you set your eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward the sky (Proverbs 23:4-5).

"This book of the law shall not depart out of YOUR mouth; but YOU shall meditate therein day & night, that YOU may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then YOU shall make YOUR way prosperous, and then YOU shall have good success" (Joshua 1:8).

Success means, the prosperity gained by the achievement of an aim or a purpose.

Is GOD'S WORD YOUR MAIN AIM OR THE PURPOSE IN LIFE?

Do you think on the PROMISES OF GOD by speaking them over and over again or do you think about your problems and worry the whole day?

The SECRET to SUCCESS in LIFE is mentioned in this verse above - "...for THEN YOU shall make YOUR way prosperous, and then YOU shall have good success."

Lets confess this day: "The blessing of the LORD is upon all that I have in the house, and in the field" (Genesis 39:5).

Say with me "I am satisfied with favour [God’s Goodness], and I’m full with the blessing of the LORD: I possess the west and the south" (Deuteronomy 33:23).

The Gospel of Christ or the Good News is in the fulness of the blessing (Romans 15:29).

Galatians 3:13-14 says, "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law which is 3 fold, sin, sickness and poverty - that the blessing of Abraham might come on us, the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."

SAY THIS: "I HAVE received the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of my salvation." (Psalm 24:5)

• The Lord commands a blessing where there is unity among His people (Psalm 133:1-3).
• One of the most precious blessings is that you are united with God through the blood of Christ. You are grafted into the vine (Jesus). That means you can also produce the same fruit that He does and you have the same life as Jesus because your life comes from Him.
• When you attentively Hear and Obey the Lord your God, Blessings shall come upon you and overflow in and through your life (Deuteronomy 28:2).
• God has Blessed you with All Spiritual Blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Spiritual is the parent of every physical blessing- prosperity or healing. God is Spirit, everything begins in the spiritual and then manifests in the flesh.
