How To Use The Faith You Already Have - Oral Roberts

I am NOT here in this particular service to tell you how to get faith but to tell you how to use the faith you already have in the book of Romans chapter 12 verse 3 it says that God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith so we see by that that faith is not something we have to get it is something we already have it is a gift of God to us but we do have to learn to use it to use it in the right way and at the right time I am convinced after my experience in dealing with multiplied thousands of people that the average person is not aware of the faith that is in him and second that he does not know exactly how to release that faith I believe the average person has a rather cloudy understanding of his faith for example I was praying for an individual in the prayer line one evening when this person said to me brother Roberts I have all the faith in the world I replied to that individual that's your trouble you still have it it's one thing to have it inside you it's another thing to release it to make it a definite act of faith and to believe God in a single moment now a point of contact is something you do and when you do it you release your faith your faith toward God a point of contact is something tangible it's something that you do and you do it to attain or to receive from God his great promises which he has recorded in his Holy Bible that's why God has given us faith to attain or to receive from God and to use what He has given us for his glory but if God has promised us some specific blessing force or power and we do not use the weapon he has given us for its attainment or receiving it we might as well not have known about God's promise in his holy word God has given us faith God has shown us how to use our faith and that's my purpose in speaking to you today to talk to you about a point of contact for your faith how to obtain a point of contact how to use a port of contact how to make a point of contact something to which you clean after you've used it when you might reach a negative state of mind a little later on now God has promised many things to people in the Bible he's promised us eternal life he's promised us healing for our buddies strength and soundness for our minds he has promised to supply all our needs according to his riches but Christ Jesus and glory he has promised to be with us he has promised to use us for his glory to make our lives worthwhile to help us fulfill our mission to have a sense of destiny about us God has promised us many great and powerful things through His Holy Bible but to obtain them or to attain unto a certain position and to use what we have attained to do that our faith must be released and to release our faith usually we need a point of contact and a point of contact in the first place focuses your attention upon God for example I I read about the impotent man who had been a since his his mother gave him back this impotent man was present when the Apostle Paul was preaching in the town of Lystra and the man was sitting down there as if to say why don't you tell me to get up and walk in the name of the Lord and when Paul perceived that he had faith to be healed he cried out and a plate on thy feet the Bible says the man leaped and walked he didn't learn how to walk he never had walked in a moment of time he lived and he began walking you see he he became one with his point of contact what was his point of contact the words of the Apostle Paul when Paul said stand upright on thy feet he became one with it he focused his mind upon the God who was in the life of the Apostle Paul so you by using the point of contact focused your attention upon God you get it off of your sickness or your sin or your need and you turn your mind away to God who alone is the answer to that you focus your attention upon him you see how important it is to make your faith or your believing a single act of faith when you use a point of contact for example the laying on of hands that support of contact you use the anointing oil as mentioned in the fifth chapter the book of James that is a point of contact when you use the prayer of faith that is a point of contact when you use any words in the Bible or any words of a man of God when you read these words all you hear these words that is a point of contact now when you use that point of contact whatever it is through it your faith is released once you release your faith it is sent to God and the answer to what you have asked for has begun to come to pass the saving of your soul the healing of your body or the supplying of some need whatever it may be once that starts coming to pass then you're part of contact becomes a great force to which you claim after you've received at what you have prayed for you hold on and you say I will never doubt I know that I have received this from God there are many examples in the Bible of how people use the point of contact to receive or to attain things from God they used to point of contact to receive from God they used a point of contact to attain for God to do things in the service of God Moses raised his rod the raising of his rod became a point of contact now many people look upon the Mirada Moses which he raised and threw it performs outstanding miracles as a magic wand they think all Moses had to do was just raise up a rod and suddenly the Red Sea would part or our God would give manna or bring water from the flinty rock but the fact is that if Moses had not released his faith when he raised his rod nothing would have happened the raising of his rod was a point of contact he became one with that point of contact when you use a point of contact you become one with it you put your mind on it you turn yourself toward God and you and your point of contact become one so that is Moses raised his rod he was one with it reaching up to God that God would perform those mighty miracles our hands are a point of contact if we believe the anointing oil is a point of contact if we believe the words of Christ in the Bible are a point of contact if we believe they are nothing if we do not believe if you have sin in your life that's unconfessed an Unforgiven and you come to receive the laying on of hands of the Norden oil what can happen if you are willing and honest and sincere and you want deliverance from those sins even in the healing act you can receive forgiveness and if they have committed sins they shall be forgiven them let every head be bowed Reverend Roberts is making an appeal for the people to make their personal decision for Christ [Music] hundreds are accepting this invitation and coming from all over the tent now they are praying a prayer of dedication with Reverend Roberts they have made their personal decision to live a Christian life now they are going to a place for further prayer with Christian workers here now is Reverend Roberts to talk to you I'm sure why'd you have been watching your television screen listening to the message participating spiritually here in the great tent cafee globe with us on the worship of God that you too have a desire to dedicate to give yourself to God in any way most people need to rededicate their lives and now may I have the opportunity of praying a prayer with you while the others remain quiet here before me I'm asking you to put your hands together in prayer there is you watch your television screen and repeat after me Oh Lord I dedicate my life and surrender it and to thy loving hands knowing I am unable to manage my own life and so I ask Christ to take control to guide me in all my endeavors that I may serve thee forever who thy son Jesus Christ I pray and I believe amen I think if you prayed that prayer sincerely and with faith that God heard it and has given you a sense and a feeling that's indescribable in its peace its security and its joy I have a little article here that I have prepared ten ways to know you are saved 10 unmistakable evidences by which you will know that your heart is right with God that you have eternal salvation it'll be a privilege to me to send you a copy of this if you were right and ask for it it is a free piece of christ-centered literature prepared by me entitled ten ways to know you are saved anyone here in the audience can right point Oral Roberts Tulsa to Oklahoma anyone the television audience ask for it by name ten ways to know you are saved now I'll be I will be praying for the healing of the sick shortly knowing that Christ is a merciful being that he is our hope we know that God is merciful that he's concerned over the healing of the human family he has given us wonderful doctors medicine hospitals nurses and he often heals through those methods and people we know also that God heals through prayer and as we come to him in prayer we know that it is not something we can do by depending upon ourselves we must look away from ourselves to the great and merciful God and just before I pray for the first person here today I suggest that all of us will bow our heads in a moment of silent prayer asking the great healing God to be in our midst hey man [Music] I am glad to see you folks glad to
