Summary
Pastor Allan Bagg teaches that faith is an experience triggered by the 'hearing of faith' and sustained by the 'speaking of faith.' By refusing to give voice to negative thoughts and consistently speaking God's promises, believers can live in a state of unwavering victory.
Key points
- •Faith is not a stagnant feeling but an active 'spirit' or attitude that is expressed through speaking.
- •Doubt is defined as 'withdrawing' or vacillating (dipos) rather than a lack of faith; even a 'mustard seed' of faith is enough if it is not retracted.
- •God calls things that are not as though they are; believers should speak the desired end (God's promise) rather than merely describing current symptoms or circumstances.
- •The human spirit is designed to listen to its own voice above all others; speaking the Word of God aloud forces the mind to stop thinking negative thoughts.
- •Your mouth acts as the 'thermostat' of your life; by setting your speech to God's promises, you engage the Kingdom of God to bring your reality into alignment.
Scripture
Faith
Authority
Purpose
Spiritual Growth
Obedience
Life application
When a negative or fearful thought enters your mind this week, do not 'take' the thought by speaking it aloud. Instead, immediately speak a specific scripture or promise of God out loud to override the doubt and anchor your heart.
Reflection questions
- In moments of high pressure, what is the 'abundance of your heart' that typically spills out of your mouth?
- Are you currently using a 'Plan B' (like Abraham did with Ishmael) instead of fully trusting God for His original promise?
- How does the concept of 'little faith' meaning 'short duration faith' change how you view your own spiritual consistency?
- What 'temperature' have you set your life's thermostat to through your recent conversations and self-talk?

0:093 I'm sure you're aware here in America
0:12I know that we are certainly back home
0:16have been facing a lot of challenges
0:18it's like the world came unstuck after
0:21Co the world has gone crazy it's wild
0:25the just the crazy thoughts of man
0:28calling evil good and good evil and
0:32looking at how we struggling with our
0:35political unrests and economic
0:39Devastation and how you know we facing a
0:41lot of situations how many of you have
0:43noticed that since I know when I first
0:45got saved and started trusting God and
0:47putting his word into action have you
0:50ever had it that when you face the
0:51problem it seems like every demon on the
0:54planet was recalled and just sent to
0:56your
0:58home you know what I'm talking talking
1:00about it's like God what is going on
1:02here and then we hear our pastor teach
1:05and you know gives us instruction from
1:08the word and uses examples and
1:10testimonies and we were going through
1:11this and we got this in the word we
1:13trusted God and that came through and we
1:15thought man that's what I need but it
1:17doesn't seem to work like that how many
1:19of you ever faced moments where you want
1:23the word to be true you want to believe
1:25God but you're really wondering is it
1:27true does this work am I am I what am I
1:31going through is this is God even real
1:33come on have you ever had thoughts like
1:35that ever ever gone through
1:37that how would you like to be in a place
1:41where you would never doubt in your life
1:44again would that be great let me see how
1:47many of you have I come to the right
1:48place how many you would like to be in a
1:50place where you never doubt again what
1:52if I could give you something today that
1:55if you take it to heart and you put it
1:58into action you will will never doubt
2:03again that sound like good news anybody
2:07interested well have a look here
2:09Galatians 3: 26 says you are all sons of
2:13God through faith in Christ Jesus so
2:17let's begin by asking how many of us
2:19have put our faith in Christ Jesus let
2:21me see your hand all right so you're in
2:23the right place this is who we talking
2:26about verse 29 if you are Christ's bump
2:30your neigh and say look at that I'm
2:31right here in the
2:33book amen you'll be amazed how often you
2:36show up in this book if you are Christ's
2:40then you are Abraham's seed everybody
2:45say Abraham's seed Abraham seed and if
2:49you are you are hes according to the
2:51promise so I want to set it up that you
2:54got to consider yourself a Seed of
2:56Abraham with that in mind come to verse
2:59five
3:00therefore he who supplies the spirit to
3:03you and works miracles among you
3:06everybody say working miracles working
3:09miracles does he do it by The Works of
3:11the law or by the hearing of Faith it's
3:16obvious that when miracles happen
3:18there's nothing you and I can really do
3:20a miracle in its nature is we weren't
3:23involved if if I did something and I
3:26figured it out and I solved the problem
3:29and then it worked that's not really a
3:31miracle the miracle is when we go
3:33outside of the natural laws and you and
3:36I don't know how to work that God works
3:39those
3:40Miracles now does he do that through the
3:43law or by the hearing of Faith the
3:47obvious answer is by the hearing of
3:49Faith so that tells me Faith can be
3:55heard let me say it again faith can be
4:00heard well if I hear something what is
4:03that you're hearing sound so faith has a
4:07sound to it say that faith has a sound
4:11faith has a sound now verse six just as
4:14Abraham believed God it was accounted to
4:18him for righteousness now that's an
4:20interesting statement there because we
4:22know that before Christ we our righteous
4:25Deeds were as filthy rags we could only
4:28receive righteousness once Jesus had
4:30paid the price for our sin and only when
4:32he was raised from the dead were we able
4:34to be made the righteousness of God yet
4:37Abraham did
4:39something that God looked through the
4:42centuries and knew that Christ would pay
4:44the price for righteousness and gave
4:47that righteousness to Abraham on
4:50credit oh come on you got to get a hold
4:52of this say this Abraham received
4:55righteousness on
4:58credit so what triggered that what gave
5:00God the right and ability to put that in
5:03his life well let's read about it verse
5:057 therefore know that only those who are
5:09of Faith are sons of Abraham look at
5:12verse 9 so then those who are of Faith
5:15are blessed with believing Abraham
5:18that's not talking about us believing in
5:20Abraham it's talking about Abraham as
5:21the believer Abraham as the believer was
5:24blessed but you as a son are also
5:28blessed shout hallelujah hallelujah look
5:32at verse 11 but that no one is justified
5:35by the law in the sight of God is
5:36evident for the just
5:38shall the just
5:41shall shall live by faith now how often
5:46should we need to live to stay
5:49alive that's a 24-hour deal isn't that
5:52right I mean think about it if we stop
5:54breathing and our heart stopped just for
5:56a few seconds and only a few minutes
5:58it's over now you need to continuously
6:00live to stay alive now the just shall
6:04live by faith this is not an option when
6:06you're in
6:07trouble it's not something we pull out
6:10when we need something this is literally
6:13how we live this is 24 hours a day 7
6:18days a week and 52 weeks in a year we
6:22live this way say the just live by faith
6:26so now we see the hearing of Faith come
6:29with me to Romans chapter 10 Romans
6:32chapter 10 now remember we're talking
6:35about righteousness says the
6:38righteousness of Faith
6:42speaks so not only is there the hearing
6:44of Faith but Faith also speaks say that
6:49we have the hearing of
6:51faith and Faith
6:54Speaks now we know that from Keep Your
6:57Mark here we'll come right back to 2
6:59Corinthians
7:004:13 since we have the same Spirit of
7:04Faith according to what is written I
7:06believe therefore I spoke we also
7:09believe and therefore speak the spirit
7:12of Faith yeah is not talking about the
7:14Holy Spirit a person it's talking about
7:16an attitude it's like a team spirit the
7:19attitude of faith is you going to
7:22speak say that Faith speaks Faith speaks
7:26well what does the faith speak what does
7:29Faith speak good question isn't it what
7:33do you speak what are you
7:37saying listen to Luke
7:406:45 a good man out of the good Treasure
7:43of his heart brings forth good and evil
7:46man out of the evil Treasure of his
7:48heart brings forth evil out of the
7:50abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
7:55see I know what we will want to speak
7:58and what we want to speak speak we do
8:00when everything's fine I'm not talking
8:02about that I'm talking about the
8:04abundance of the heart at the end of the
8:06day we speak what's in our heart in
8:08abundance I'm not talking about a
8:10controlled environment like you know you
8:12come into the household of faith yeah
8:14it's everybody's yeah supposedly full of
8:17the spirit and and it's a household of
8:20God we controlled we put all the filters
8:21on we we we we all know
8:25Christian amen you walk in the door
8:28Hallelujah bless your brother Glory
8:30Glory bless you we don't talk like that
8:31at the mall but Hallelujah bless you
8:34amen love you brother love you love
8:40you isn't that right we know how to
8:43answer when the fa when the pastors
8:45talking to us I'm not talking about that
8:48I'm talking about when the pressure
8:50hits it's like when you hitting a nail
8:53into the wall and then you miss the
8:56steel nail and you hit your thumbnail
8:58instead what comes out your mouth at
9:01that
9:02moment that's the abundance of the heart
9:05that's all the filters are off when the
9:07problems head when the doctor puts that
9:09report in front of you what happens in
9:12that fear moment when the banker call
9:15recall someone's house or they call what
9:17happens when you get a call from the
9:19office saying don't come back in what
9:22happens in that moment that moment of
9:24pressure what comes out your heart then
9:32when that pressure hits what comes out
9:35your mouth next is
9:38critical it's when the pressure is
9:41on so if Faith speaks how does it speak
9:44it says let's go back to Romans 10:6 the
9:47righteousness of Faith speaks in this
9:50way first of all it says do not say and
9:53then it gets down to verse 8 but what
9:56does it say the word is near you in your
10:00mouth and in your
10:02heart in your mouth and in your heart
10:07what is that this is the word of faith
10:12which we
10:13preach everybody say Word of Faith now
10:16sometimes people get nervous around that
10:18because there's a lot of negativity
10:20around the word of faith Are You That
10:22Word of Faith people like that's like a
10:24bad thing no no hang on Word of Faith is
10:27not a camp
10:30I said it's not a group of people it's
10:33not a
10:34denomination it's not even a type of
10:37Doctrine the word of faith is in its
10:40description Romans 10:17 faith comes by
10:44hear hearing by word faith comes by
10:48hearing hearing by word of God what does
10:50that mean when you hear the word faith
10:53comes that mean Faith wasn't there until
10:56you heard
11:00see if I threw water on you what are you
11:03wet comes by
11:06water you don't struggle to be wet if I
11:10threw water on you not going I believe
11:11I'm wet I believe I'm wet I believe I'm
11:13wet I believe I'm wet I believe I'm and
11:15maybe it'll happen in two days time the
11:17moment that water hits you wet isn't
11:20that right faith comes by hearing if you
11:24have heard you've got faith your most
11:28stor atheist who denies God will argue
11:32against it if he's listening to this
11:34message faith is coming on him whether
11:37he likes it or not faith comes by
11:41hearing so it's not like Lord give me
11:43more faith even when the disciples said
11:45give me more faith he said if you have
11:46faith is a mustard seed if you you just
11:49have to have a
11:50hearing the moment you've heard it you
11:53have faith so that Faith came by the
11:56word faith came by the word that word
11:58was car caring Faith it's the word of
12:01faith that's all it
12:04is now someone says you know I don't
12:07agree with the word of faith well are
12:09you born again yes sir amen you believe
12:12the Bible you believe Paul yeah he
12:14preached Word of
12:17Faith oh there it is read it
12:20again verse 8 the word is near you in
12:23your mouth and in your heart that is the
12:25word of faith which we preach get it
12:29into our hearts word of faith means that
12:32faith that God gives us comes by his
12:34word that's all we mean through that
12:37don't be nervous of it amen amen say I'm
12:40receiving the word of faith I'm
12:42receiving the word of faith now notice
12:44verse 9 if you confess with your mouth
12:47the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
12:51God raised him from the dead so we see
12:53heart and mouth in cooperation yeah with
12:56that in mind come and look at Romans
12:59chap
13:004 Romans chapter 4 now we're going to
13:03read from verse 13 but let's read verse
13:0622 first therefore it was accounted to
13:10him for righteousness so yeah we find in
13:13out how what did Abraham do that it was
13:18counted as
13:19righteousness we're going to read about
13:21it verse 13 the promise that Abraham
13:25would be the heir of the world was not
13:26to Abraham or to his seed through the
13:28law but but through the righteousness of
13:32Faith there it is again for if those
13:34verse 16 therefore it is of faith that
13:38it might be according to Grace so that
13:39the promise might be sure to all the
13:42seed not only to those of the law but
13:44also to those who are of the faith of
13:47Abraham say that's me that's me now he's
13:50the father of us all as it is written I
13:53have made you a father of many nations
13:56in the presence of God whom Abraham
13:58believed
13:59God who gives life to the dead calls
14:02those things which do not exist as
14:04though they did who contrary to Hope in
14:08Hope
14:09believed that sounds like a strange
14:11sentence because he talking about
14:13contrary to Hope in Hope believe those
14:16two hopes are obviously not the same
14:18thing if it's contrary to Hope what hope
14:22is he talking about that's the natural
14:24carnal-minded hope that's the Hope where
14:28you know you just hope that bank will
14:30approve your loan you hope things will
14:32work out you hope the medicine will work
14:36even get to a place where you say God's
14:37healed you oh I hope so it's it's an
14:40empty type of Hope now contrary to that
14:43hope he believed in a different hope
14:46this hope as we study it we'll see it's
14:48an
14:49expectation it's knowing it's not a
14:53hoping that hope is an Earnest
14:55expectation I it's an expectation of
14:58what God has said is coming to pass so
15:02contrary to Hope in Hope
15:04believed and God gives life to the dead
15:07he Verse 18 who conted to Hope in Hope
15:10belief so that Abraham became the father
15:13of many nations according to what was
15:15spoken so shall your descendants be not
15:18being weak in faith he did not consider
15:21his own body already dead since he was
15:23about 100 years old and the deadness of
15:25Sarah's womb he did not waver at the the
15:29promise of God through
15:31unbelief but was strengthened in faith
15:35giving glory to God being fully
15:38convinced that what God had promised God
15:43was able to perform what God had
15:47promised God was able to perform what
15:51God has promised God is able to perform
15:59therefore it was accounted as
16:02righteousness so what happened yeah what
16:04what what how come what did Abraham do
16:07that got him to this position well you
16:10know at the age of 75 God spoke to him
16:13and said that he would be a
16:15nation but for 25 years nothing happened
16:20in fact Abraham decided when he was
16:23still Abraham that he would help God out
16:26how often do we do that we have a Plan B
16:30so he sleeps with the maid and has a
16:32child through that but that child is
16:36never recognized by
16:38God when it came time to sacrifice Isaac
16:42he said take now your son your only
16:46son God does not see what we try to do
16:50with Plan B he doesn't he never
16:52recognizes that he only recognizes when
16:56he's
16:57involved that which is produced by faith
17:01so for 25 years nothing is happening
17:05Abraham at that time technically didn't
17:07have the faith because him and Sarah
17:10they they all laughed we talk about
17:11Sarah laughing so did
17:13he God comes to him and says at just at
17:17the age of a 100 I am not going to talk
17:20about making you I'm changing your name
17:22to
17:24Abraham Abraham in the Hebrew literally
17:28says the father of many nations so if he
17:32introduced himself he would have been
17:34speaking in Hebrew we use the word
17:36Abraham and recognize it as one of the
17:38names we have in our society today but
17:41if he was speaking in Hebrew he would be
17:43saying if I'm now speaking Hebrew but
17:45I'm going to use the English language
17:46someone said hi my name's Bob who are
17:49you I say hi my name is the father of
17:51many
17:53nations that's what he would say in the
17:55Hebrew and then someone would say well
17:57how many children do you have we I am
18:00the father of many nations but who's
18:03your child I am the father of many
18:09nations and within one year Sarah Falls
18:14pregnant how long is a is a wife is a is
18:19is the mother pregnant nine months that
18:21means his faith kicked into action
18:23within 3 months this dead man's loins
18:27the dead loins and the dead womb gave
18:29life to a
18:31child now how did that happen notice God
18:34calls things that are not as though they
18:39are he does not call things that are not
18:43he does not call things that are as if
18:45though they're
18:47not some of us may have missed that God
18:50calls things that are not as though they
18:54are he does not call things that are as
18:57though they not
19:01you see it's important how we speak
19:03sometimes what happens you know someone
19:05gets sick and then their nose is running
19:07and I mean they're coughing and
19:08spluttering feeling pain and everything
19:10and someone walks up you're right
19:11brother praise God I'm not sick amen no
19:14that's not
19:16Faith because if you went to a doctor
19:18they would say otherwise that's where we
19:20discredit Faith it's not denying the
19:23symptoms it's denying the right of those
19:26symptoms to stay
19:29it's by Jesus Stripes I have been healed
19:33if he says I have been healed that's not
19:36yet in existence but I'm going to speak
19:38as though it is so when someone says how
19:41you doing praise God I believe I am
19:44healed yeah but what about the cough
19:46what about about I believe I am healed
19:49you're looking at my body me my body are
19:52two different things I am the spirit I
19:55am healed I am healthy I am well that
19:59just has to work out now into my
20:04flesh you getting
20:06this now notice verse 20 he didn't waver
20:10through unbelief now I I have a practice
20:13that I've done since I was born again as
20:15a young Christian I wanted to know all
20:17the different translations so obviously
20:18I read the word for different reasons
20:20devotion studying for the word etc etc
20:23but I also set the year apart to go
20:26through at to go through one of the
20:29translations so you pick the the
20:32Amplified translation or whatever for
20:34the year and then I use a daily reading
20:36program to go through that Bible cover
20:38to cover and one year I was reading
20:41through the living Bible the living
20:44Bible and I came across this verse in
20:46verse 20 Romans 4:20 says Abraham never
20:52doubted he believed God for his faith
20:55and trust grew ever stronger and he
20:57praised God for for this blessing even
20:59before it happened listen it says
21:02Abraham never doubted when I saw that I
21:07thought what manner of man is
21:11this he never
21:13doubted have you had some doubts in your
21:15minds before I I went to one of my
21:18mentors at the time I said look at this
21:20the Bible says Abraham never doubted
21:22Hallelujah I said no no hang on hang on
21:25have you ever doubted he said yeah well
21:28you know I said yeah Abraham never
21:32doubted what happened well you know he's
21:36a man of faith and all yeah but so are
21:39we I said so are we and I asked a few
21:43people and everyone said they had
21:44doubted and yet Abraham never doubted so
21:49if Abraham never doubted what's this
21:51talking about it's vital that we know
21:55because we can get to this place of
21:57never doubting
21:59amen say
22:01Amen well how does this happen
22:03Deuteronomy 30: 19 I call Heaven and
22:05Earth as Witnesses today against you
22:07I've set before you life and death
22:12blessing and
22:14cursing therefore
22:18choose choose this is not up to
22:22God I said life and death is not up to
22:25God evidently it's your choice
22:28how you would life would prefer life how
22:31you prefer the blessing so God's saying
22:33it's your choice and he gives a really
22:37strong hint which one we should
22:39choose he says choose life that you and
22:44your descendants may live well how do we
22:46choose this life how do we choose well
22:49Proverbs 18: 21 says death and life
22:54remember our choice death and life are
22:56in the power of the tongue and those who
23:01love it will eat its fruit we make the
23:05choice with our
23:08words say that I make the choice for
23:12life with my words now come and have a
23:15look at Matthew chapter 21 remember
23:17Jesus had just spoken to a tree and the
23:19tree withered away verse 20 he says when
23:22the disciples saw it they marveled
23:24saying how did the Fig Tree wither away
23:26so soon Jesus answered and said said to
23:28them assuredly I say to you if you have
23:32faith and do not doubt you will not only
23:38do what was done to the Fig Tree but
23:40also if you say to this mountain be
23:41removed and be cast in the sea it will
23:44be done and whatever things you ask in
23:46prayer believing you will receive now
23:49how you want to receive notice he says
23:52if you have faith and do not
23:56doubt so it seems like it's possible to
23:59have faith and
24:02doubt it's not like I don't have enough
24:05Faith the Doubt's getting in the way oh
24:09come on you got to get a hold of this
24:11Faith came today because you heard the
24:14word of God but what happens when you
24:17walk
24:18outside and the first problem
24:21hits what's going to happen to the doubt
24:24part but Jesus says if you can deal with
24:27the doubt as aspect there's enough Faith
24:31with you believing you will have what
24:33you
24:35say see even James said in James 1:2 my
24:41brethren counted all joy when you fall
24:43into various
24:45trials I didn't hear many Hallelujah
24:47there I I I know that verse is not
24:50underlined in your Bible I know I get it
24:53but the word is very clear we supposed
24:54to get excited remember Jesus said in
24:56this world you have
24:59tribulation you say it might happen I
25:01you know you've either come out of a
25:03problem or you're dealing with one or
25:05you do know you head it for another one
25:07and he says in this world you're going
25:09to have tribulation
25:11but be of good cheer now no one speaks
25:15like that today that that's all British
25:16English be of good chair oh man can I
25:20put it into modern
25:21vernacular trouble's coming get
25:26excited I said trouble's coming get
25:30excited why I have overcome the world
25:34and John said this is that which
25:36overcomes the world even our faith it is
25:38a time to flex those muscles again it's
25:41time to say I'm living by faith Bring it
25:44on I need another
25:47testimony now you're not inviting
25:49problems into your life but you know
25:51they are coming but I'm ready and why
25:53because I know the testing of my faith
25:55verse three produces patience patience
25:58have is perfect work be perfect complete
26:00lacking nothing if any of you lacks
26:03wisdom let him ask God who gives to all
26:05how liberally and without reproach in
26:08other words he's not going to mock you
26:09because you asked and it will be given
26:11to him
26:12but let him ask in faith without
26:18doubting for He Who doubts is like a
26:20wave of the sea driven and toss by the
26:22wind let not that man suppose you
26:24receive anything from the Lord he is a
26:27double minded man unstable in all his
26:31ways that word double-minded is the
26:35Greek word
26:36dipos dipos if you're taking notes you
26:39write it down D PS y c h s the DI die to
26:47psychos mind so it's talking about
26:51vacillating double-minded wavering
26:53uncertain divided in interest it
26:56literally translates as
27:00toped two-spirited a two-spirited man
27:03what's that mean he hasn't sorted out
27:04his spirit yet there's the spirit of
27:07faith is what you believe you will say
27:10hallelujah praise God by Jesus stripes
27:13are being healed next moment oh there oh
27:17yes there's that pain again oh my oh it
27:20didn't work I'm still sick Oh My Oh my
27:23Jesus I'm still oh man no praise God by
27:27Jesus stripes being healed hallelujah oh
27:30oh man why is this not working oh man I
27:33still feeling sick see
27:36toped you're vacillating backwards and
27:39forwards that man won't receive
27:42anything let me explain it this way it's
27:45like a crane picking up a weight that
27:48cables under strain but it's strong
27:50enough it's pulling the weight up
27:52pulling the weight up pulling the weight
27:53up by Jesus Stripes I'm Healed by Jesus
27:56Stripes I'm Healed and then the pain oh
27:58man I'm sick you cut the
28:01cable that weight will do what fall
28:04right back to the ground you can't grab
28:05it quickly and fix the Rope once it's
28:07cut it hits the ground you start all
28:10over you got to lower the cable down
28:12connect it back up tired and begin
28:15lifting praise God by Jesus Stripes I'm
28:17Healed by Jesus Stripes I'm Healed oh
28:19but I'm still sick
28:21bang you start again that's never going
28:25to happen it's going to take that
28:27consistent y consistency all the way
28:31back up see you don't want to be Toom
28:33minded here that's why he says here when
28:35it talks about let that man with no
28:38doubting the Greek word for doubting
28:41there is the word deino deino literally
28:45means to
28:48withdraw to withdraw everybody say to
28:51withdraw what's that mean you're pulling
28:53out remember Peter when he was on the
28:57boat and Jesus was walking on the water
28:59and he said Lord tell me come and what
29:03did Jesus say hang on Peter I'm Jesus I
29:06do these things I'll be famous for it
29:08one day just no no the moment Peter says
29:12tell me come Jesus says come he gets out
29:15and he walks on the water now get a hold
29:17of this how much Faith do you need to
29:19walk on water evidently one word
29:25come one word is enough to walk on water
29:31and he's walking on water but what
29:34happens dipos he sees the wind he sees
29:38the waves his Spirit
29:40splits and in that moment he withdraws
29:45and he begins to sink and Jesus gets a
29:47hold of him and says oh you of little
29:50faith why did
29:51you
29:53withdraw oh you of now I used to think
29:57little faith there meant small it wasn't
29:59strong enough give me a break the man's
30:01walking on water Jesus if you have faith
30:02is a mustard seed now the Greek word
30:06there for little faith is olop pistos
30:11olop pistos pistos is Faith Ogo is not
30:15about size ago is a Time
30:18base little short time short
30:23duration oh you of a short burst of
30:26faith
30:29that's what he was saying you have the
30:31faith but you withdrew you didn't keep
30:34it applied and the moment Jesus
30:37addressed it what happened he came right
30:40back up and the Bible says they went
30:42back to the boat he didn't carry them
30:44back they walk back he just had to
30:47reconnect don't
30:51withdraw you seeing
30:53this so Mark 11:22 Jesus answerers said
30:57in the the same tree now have faith in
30:59God for surely I say you whoever says to
31:01this mountain be removed and be cast in
31:04the sea and does not doubt in his does
31:07not doubt in his does not doubt in his
31:10heart not his head he said don't doubt
31:13in your heart he never even addressed
31:16the head your mind don't doubt in your
31:19heart and but believes that those things
31:22he says will be done he will have
31:25whatever he says therefore I say say to
31:28you whatever things you ask when you
31:29pray believe you receive them and you
31:30will have them so get a hold of this
31:33doubt is not
31:37unbelief don't let the devil ever lie to
31:39you
31:40again doubt doesn't mean you don't
31:44believe that's what the devil wants to
31:45tell you that's why even that young that
31:47one man said Lord I believe help my
31:51unbelief no he's he's talking about
31:53doubt he already believes see see doubt
31:56is to hesitate to content
31:58to differ to stagger to waver to
32:01withdraw unbelief means to separate
32:04thoroughly it's a
32:07decision that's when Thomas said I will
32:10not believe it was a decision are you
32:14with me but doubt means you're
32:17struggling so now this doubt we see
32:21Jesus identified something here is to
32:23not doubt in your heart so the key is to
32:27not doubt in your heart things will
32:30happen in your
32:32head but that doesn't Define the doubt
32:36Jesus said just make sure your heart is
32:39in the right place now how do we deal
32:42with this how do we overcome out let's
32:44go to Matthew chapter 6 I'm going to
32:47read from the King James version the
32:49King James version verse
32:5624 no man can serve two masters either
33:00he'll hate the one or love the other or
33:02else he'll hold one and despise the
33:04other you cannot serve God and Mammon
33:06therefore I say to you take no thought
33:10for your life so it appears that
33:13thoughts can
33:14happen but Jesus says don't take
33:19them thoughts can
33:21happen but don't take
33:24them how he says take no thought for
33:28your life what you'll eat what you'll
33:29drink nor for your body what you'll put
33:30on is not life more than meat the body
33:32than Raymond behold the fouls of the air
33:34they they so not neither do they reap
33:36nor gather into WS yet your heavenly
33:38father feeds them are you not more
33:39better than they which of You by taking
33:42thought can add one cubit unto his
33:44statue why take you thoughtful rayment
33:47clothes consider the lily of the field
33:49how they grow they toil not neither do
33:51they spin yet I say to you that even
33:53Solomon in all his glory was not array
33:55like one of these wherefore if God so
33:56clothed the grass of the field which
33:58today is and tomorrow's cost in the oven
33:59shall he not much more clothe you clothe
34:02you oh you of little faith therefore
34:06take no thought how Jesus by
34:13saying what shall we eat what shall we
34:16drink and what will we be clothed with
34:18after all these things the Gentiles seek
34:19your heavenly father knows you have need
34:21of these things but seek first the
34:23kingdom of God and his righteousness
34:27today we talking about the righteousness
34:29of faith and what will happen all these
34:31things will be added to you notice he
34:35says don't take the thought thoughts are
34:37going to happen how you know you've
34:40thought things that you thought I'm
34:42supposed to be a Christian how can I
34:43even think that did that ever happen
34:45would you ever think that on purpose how
34:48did it get there the enemy knows how to
34:50put thoughts in your head he knows that
34:53so the fact that you're thinking doesn't
34:56mean it's you
34:58come on work with me the fact that
35:00you're thinking how can I think I wish I
35:02could no no those thoughts are going to
35:04happen yes but there's something about
35:07thoughts watch
35:09this don't I'm I want you for a moment

35:59stop these
36:01thoughts okay we're going to do
