THE EFFECTUAL FAITH: THE FAITH THAT WORKS – IS BY ACTING CORRESPONDINGLY ON\u00a0YOUR\u00a0BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“My son, give ATTENTION to MY WORDS; INCLINE YOUR EAR TO MY SAYINGS. 21 Do not let them\u00a0depart\u00a0from your eyes; Keep them\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence,\u00a0for\u00a0out of it spring the issues of life”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 4:20-23\/NKJV<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Faith in the WORD or the SAYINGS of God makes all the difference. FAITH is ACTING correspondingly on your BELIEVE on and in the WORD – the SAYINGS of God. FAITH is not BELIEVE and\u00a0there’s\u00a0no FAITH at work until you ACT on that which you BELIEVE of God. Meaning NO ACTING ON THE WORD, NO FAITH, hence NO RESULTS!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Faith is the only legal and vital tender to obtain from the\u00a0Father\u00a0God.\u00a0Any other process or\u00a0means is illegal, counterfeit and criminal. FAITH IS NOT A\u00a0DOCTRINE or CREED or DOGMAS or PHILOSOPHY or TRADITION\u00a0or CULTURE.\u00a0It’s\u00a0not an assumption or presumption.\u00a0It’s\u00a0ACTING on trust\u00a0in God’s Word or sayings without an iota of doubt\u00a0or\u00a0disbelief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you BELIEVE and\u00a0don’t\u00a0ACT on it,\u00a0you’ve\u00a0not\u00a0endorsed\u00a0FAITH. If you confess or declare as religion enjoins us and you\u00a0don’t\u00a0act accordingly,\u00a0there’s\u00a0no faith and you receive not from God. You may receive from men, but not from God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The FAITH that WORKS and\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope. Hence communicate your faith in hope,\u00a0as\u00a0it’s\u00a0written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 11:1.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, the FAITH that WORKS and\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope through love as\u00a0it’s\u00a0written:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . But FAITH which WORKS by LOVE”\u00a0<\/i>Galatians 5:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus”<\/i>\u00a0Philemon 1:4-6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But without FAITH (acting on what you believe of God’s WORD) it is impossible to PLEASE (receive answers from) Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 11:6\/Emphasis mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Further\u00a0Scriptural\u00a0Read\u00a0–\u00a0Hebrews 11:1-3; Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Romans 14:23; Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Corinthians 13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SUMMARY:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The message emphasises that true faith is not just a mental assent or passive belief, but an active trust in God’s Word that leads to action.\u00a0It’s\u00a0about acting on what you believe about God’s Word, without doubt or disbelief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
