Friday Writing...2/7/20..."Let Faith Arise" ...(or decend)

Good Morning,

The devotional for Friday speaks of the time that Jesus was in a house and there was no room to allow a paralyzed man to get to Jesus. So, his friends made a hole in the roof and lowered the man down. His friends were letting Faith arise, and, when they had the Faith to put their friend down into the room they let their faith descend. Here is a quote from this writing, "Wherever, and whenever, God sees these qualities of faith, His glory is established, revealed and displayed to confirm His word. For He said... “I stand behind my word to confirm it,” 

Isa 55:11, Jer 1:12."

Know that faith will always win.

God bless

"Let Faith Arise"
(or decend)

And four men came to Jesus, carrying a paralyzed man between them on a makeshift stretcher made of mats and blankets. But they could not get into Jesus because the large crowd was packed tight and pressed against them, not allowing any room for the cot.

Since they could not get to a spot where they could place the paralyzed man in front of Jesus, they went up onto the flat rooftop and started digging through the mud and the boards that formed the roof.

When they had broken the roof up, right above where Jesus was, and scooped out an opening large enough to fit the man on his stretcher, they lowered him down on his bed in front of everyone, near where all the other sick and paralyzed were lying.

 And Jesus saw how much faith they had and was impressed with their bold confidence in God through Him. He said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgive,” meaning that he was forgiven and now in right standing with God.

Mark 2.3-5

What attracted the immediate attention of Jesus was the faith He saw. Jesus was moved by the confidence, the trust, the positive attitude, and the level of expectation that He observed in the men who brought the paralyzed man to Him.

Faith is the substance 
of things hoped for 

and the evidence 
of things not seen

Heb 11:1.

Faith is the gap between
asking and receiving
Mark 11:22-24. 

Faith is the action that releases
the spiritual and the supernatural
into a physical materialization 

Luke 5:4-5, Acts 3:4-8.

Faith speaks God's language. Gen 18:14 & Jer 32:36-27.   

Faith sees beyond the symptoms of a situation
to believe for the solution Mark 5:25-30.

Faith sees beyond the present, to see to future. Faith releases 

our spiritual authority to control a situation created by the enemy. 

Faith declares what God says we truly are, and not what our situation 

and environment has made us believe of ourselves. 

(Rom 8:1-3 & 37)

Wherever, and whenever, God sees these qualities of faith, His glory is established, revealed and displayed to confirm His word. For He said... 

“I stand behind my word to confirm it,” 

Isa 55:11, Jer 1:12.

May Faith arise in our hearts today so we can begin to do the extra ordinary and believe for the impossible. Faith is action, live it out today.
