Steps to seeing your Faith works!
Every child of God is ordained to operate the working faith. Nothings dies in your life from this day forward in the Name of Jesus the Christ.
However, here are steps to take to see your faith produce your desired result.
1ST STEP: First, you need to apply yourself to what God has said. Job 22:21 says,
"Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee."
2ND STEP: The second step is to release yourself consciously to what you have heard. Luke 1:45 says:
"Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord."
3RD STEP: The third step is to know that God is committed to whatever He has said. He says:
"My covenant will I not break, nor alter the things that is gone out of my lips." (Psalm 89:34)
"...hath he not spoken, and shall he not make it good." (Numbers 23:19)
He said "you have not because you ask not." So, present your case to Him – "Lord I thank you for your Word. I have found it that you yourself took my infirmities, I believe your report. Therefore I know the activity of sickness in my body is illegal. The price has been paid. Thank you Lord for my healing."
Having found it and believed it, you go ahead and remind Him. He is the judge of all the earth. In Isaiah 1:18, He said:
"Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
And in Isaiah 41:21 He said:
"Produce your cause, saith the Lord: bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob."
So when you are talking to Him, put your reasons together. Not ordinary reasons, strong reasons (which you have discovered from His word) that guarantee your victory.
James 5:15 says, "And the prayer of faith, shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up."
When you pray the prayer of faith, the Lord steps in.
The Bible says, "Let him ask in faith..."
So, you don't pray to get faith, you get faith before you pray. You collect faith before you pray, because only the prayer of faith matters.
After you have reminded God, because He abides faithful, and He cannot deny Himself, he now says to you, "You are justified. You are discharged and acquitted."
It's like you have been in prison, and now a letter of release is being handed to you, incase the warder is not aware.
4TH STEP: After you have been justified, you now do what you please with the situation. God is set to fulfil His word.
Mark 11:23 says: "If you will say to this mountain..."
So, you look at that mountain (that situation, that issue, that condition) and you declare boldly: "Get lost! God has justified me. Get lost now! Not tomorrow!"
You have located the knowledge, you have consciously released your faith, you have reminded God of His word (because you believed it), now God has justified you.
So, look at the opposition and say to it, "Shot up there! I'm in charge here!"
God won't speak to the mountain for you, you are the one to do it.
Many of us are so busy talking to God, but we have not said a thing to the mountain.
God has justified you longest time, but the 'Warder' is still pretending not to be aware.
So, show him your letter of release.
After your letter of release you are permitted to be rude to the warder. You are no longer under his rule.
That's the reason I shout down witches and occultic forces. Because I have in my hand a blood-sealed letter of release!
Friends, prayer is not the end of it, you have to clear the debris, the obstacles, out of your way. So speak to the mountain.
"Hear what the Lord saith", says Micah 6:1:
"Arise, contend before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice."
In most cases, this step of addressing the obstacles is the missing link. But now, you have found it.
Having addressed the mountain, because the Bible says it must go when you do so, now believe God that the mountain has been removed.
5TH STEP: This is the stage where you demonstrate your victory. So, you don't act frustrated or sick anywhere. So, all the things you had been told not to eat, if you are married, you now tell your wife to prepare exactly that thing.
Friends, all the fruits of the field are for your food. A doctor is too small to tell you what not to eat!
After addressing the devil that is oppressing your business, stop doing as if it is still there. 1 Samuel 2:3 tells us that God is a God of knowledge by whom all actions are weighed.
Your actions is what shows that faith is there. James 2: says, "Show me your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by my works."
Most of the time we fail at action point. It's time for you to identify where the problem is. It's time!
I had believed in prosperity longest time. So I didn't let anybody sympathize with my seemingly poverty – stricken position then for any reason. I wore my best clothes to work. I carried the brightest look around. Why?
I knew action must correspond with what you believe. Action is weighed by God, and if it is found wanting, there is no result.
You remember what He said to Nebuchadnezzar? "Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin." (Daniel 5:25)
God weighs actions. So it's time to demonstrate your actions, the mountains are gone.
6TH STEP: Make your victory, your deliverance, your healing public, by declaring it loud. Don't be ashamed of saying it anywhere. Paul said:
"I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." (Romans 1:16)
Many are ashamed of His testimony. When you refuse to be ashamed, the power is released.
You have to say it before you can have it. So you don't only speak to mountains, speak also before kings, before men and women. David said, "I am not ashamed of thy testimonies. I will declare it before kings."
It was with such declarations that he brought down the head of Goliath in the account given in 1 Samuel chapter 17.
You see, you go to healing services, you hear the preacher make powerful declarations such as: "No disease will escape tonight!" "No affliction will escape tonight!" Those are the things that make for the miraculous.
I have been shouting, "I cannot be sick! I cannot die prematurely! I cannot be poor! I cannot have accident!"
You know why I talk like that?
I have the secrets! Among which is the fact that God has promised to confirm whatever I say (Isaiah 44:26). So, you must say it clearly, for Him to hear. He has a duty to confirm it. If you won't say it, He has nothing to confirm.
This is how to fight the good fight of faith.
It's not just saying what you hear somebody else saying, it's knowing the root of it. By the time you operate that way, you begin to experience technical victories.
7TH STEP: The last step demands that you refuse to give up.
Begin to do those things you couldn't do before, until the result becomes vivid.
Don't stop saying it! Don't stop acting it out! Keep doing it! Keep saying it and acting on it.
Why?
"The just shall live by faith, but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him." (Hebrews 10:38)
So, you are not permitted to quit. You are not permitted to give up. You are not permitted to draw back. You must keep at it!
You can't start with faith and end with unbelief.
Jesus endured the cross, He despised the shame, and now He is set the right hand of God. Right there in heaven, He is seated now.
You too will soon be seated!
Let me conclude this way: there is nothing new under the sun. There is nothing you are facing that is new to God. There is no dream of your heart now that nobody has ever dreamt before. There is no disease in your body that has not been before. So, your case is not special! It is no news!
Hear this: there is no insurmountable mountain. There is no unhealable disease. There is no impossibility in the hand of God.
It takes this technical approach to get your result.
We are serving a covenant keeping God. He is not a man that He should lie. You are not disadvantaged in any way! His name is the Faithful witness. He will do for you what He has for anybody else.
However, here are steps to take to see your faith produce your desired result.
1ST STEP: First, you need to apply yourself to what God has said. Job 22:21 says,
