Hebrews 11:1, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Faith is believing in the unseen. Believing that God will. 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s command. Faith conquers your fear. 24 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, Faith sees beyond all our afflictions into the supernatural power of God. Just as many things in the Kingdom works, faith grows by levels. Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” So what is this faith to faith? How many remember the first time that they recited the sinner’s prayer? The 1st time I felt nothing. But after I began to build a relationship with God it began to have a value. Why? Because I didn't have faith the 1st time. As I began to mature in Christ it began to mean more and more to me. Can you see the faith to faith? And no you know in your knowa that the words of salvation really achieved a purpose. But there is a higher purpose for your faith. Faith is your portal to the Glory of God. Why should we be so concerned with the Glory of God? Because it is the Glory of God that leads to the Power of God. Repeat after me: “The supernatural power of God” Say it again. Again. We are meant to walk in the supernatural power of God and our faith takes us to the gates of heaven which God has already opened to pour out His glory. This has always been the plan of God for us to have access to His glory. Someone read Ephesians 1:10 for me. Now let’s simplify that some. I just love how the Message says it: Ephesians 1:10, “He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans he took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in Him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth.” Until now we the church haven’t been accessing everything that God had set up for us from the time He created the earth and man. You see heaven contains 3 dimensions of the supernatural: The Kingdom The Glory The Power Matt. 6:13, “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.” The Kingdom is our faith guys. So many people are talking about the Kingdom of God, but you have to know what the true essence of the Kingdom is. It’s our faith. Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” You cannot seek the Kingdom of God without faith. Mark 4:30, “Then He said, “To what shall we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it?” We talked a little about this last week. We are again talking about a seed. Isn’t it funny how we can get so much from a little seed. But today we are talking about having faith the size of a mustard seed. And that little bit of faith giving us access to the Kingdom of God. So what does this say to us? It says that the Kingdom of God is the manifestation of our faith. God created the heavens on the first day but the Kingdom of God is a connection between our faith and the Spirit of God. From faith to faith to faith to faith the size of a mustard seed, to the Kingdom of God. Matthew 6:10, “Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done On earth as it is in heaven.” Go to: Matthew 12:28, “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.” Did you see that? Hallelujah! Someone better begin to praise the Lord. The Glory The Glory is the Fullness of God. Colossians 2:8-10, “8 See to it that no one carries you off as spoil or makes you yourselves captive by his so-called philosophy and intellectualism and vain deceit (idle fancies and plain nonsense), following human tradition (men’s ideas of the material rather than the spiritual world), just crude notions following the rudimentary and elemental teachings of the universe and disregarding [the teachings of] Christ (the Messiah). 9 For in Him the whole fullness of Deity (the Godhead) continues to dwell in bodily form [giving complete expression of the divine nature]. 10 And you are in Him, made full and having come to fullness of life [in Christ you too are filled with the Godhead—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—and reach full spiritual stature]. And He is the Head of all rule and authority [of every angelic principality and power].” Now this is what the glory does: The glory transforms us into God’s image. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 says, “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” There is so much power in the glory that it transforms us. This is the deep calling to the deep. John 17:22, “And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:” This glory unites us with God, with Jesus and with the Holy Spirit. The Power - The power is the anointing of God. It is this anointing that moves us into the supernatural power of God. Jesus had the anointing without measure and He passed this anointing down to us, the church. But in order to access this anointing we have to create an atmosphere conducive to calling forth the miracles. Our atmosphere is spirit so we must change it so that we may be lifted up and touch the glory of God. Touching this glory is what brings about the miracles and the changes in our lives. The thing is that we have been focusing on how Peter fell after walking on the water when we need to be focusing on how he walked on water. Matt. 14:26 Notice how Jesus didn’t lift him out of the boat, but He called him to Him. He waited for Peter to activate his faith, to tap into the glory of Christ by taking a step on his own to walk on water. Now is the time for the Church to step into the fullness of God. The heavens are already open because they were opened when Jesus was baptized and He gave us access to that power through His glory. Until now we have been in bondage to time, allowing time to control us when we are supposed to be controlling time. Look at when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. He never worried because He had already stopped time and He knew that Lazarus wasn’t going anywhere. Stop allowing time to tell you what to do. We are supposed to be telling time what to do. In time things breaks down, decay and become old, but when we step into the glory of God things regenerates and moves back into order. The glory of God is a restorer. It brings heaven down to the earth through you. This is our moment in time to touch the glory and to begin to perform miracles and take dominion over every inch of our lives. So reach up and touch the glory of God and pull down that job you are in need of or the money for that car payment that you don’t have. Reach up and touch the glory. By Evangelist Cheryl Davies
