Seven Kinds of Faith

[Music] the first kind of faith mentioned in the bible is great faith it's the story of the centurion who came to jesus and jesus he said to jesus lord my servant lies at home paralyzed and is suffering terribly jesus said well i will go and heal him and the centurion said no lord i have authority over a hundred roman soldiers hence the word centurion but i recognize that you have authority in heaven and in earth if you will just speak the word now this is word for word out of the bible if you speak the word my servant will be healed and jesus said i have not seen such great faith in all of israel and it came from a roman soldier great faith was saying lord you have authority over sickness and disease his great faith was saying you have authority over death hell and the grave you have authority over demon spirits you have authority over winds and ways the lord jesus christ has authority over fear and doubt that haunts you he has authority over kings and over presidents he has authority and nothing is impossible with god saints of god god is waiting for you to speak the word of faith to speak it boldly to speak it specifically say what you want when you want it who you want it to happen for in jesus name and the mountains of impossibility will be cast into the sea give him praise and glory in the house of god great faith can pray from a great distance you can pray for someone across town or on the other side of the world faith is the victory that overcomes the world faith is the currency of heaven faith sees the invisible faith conquers the impossible faith is the voice that sings in the darkness waiting for the glorious dawn of a new day have faith in god that's god's request have faith in god say that with me have faith in god give the lord praise [Applause] when you have great faith your faith is aggressive when you settle for second best you don't have aggressive faith great faith is determined the three hebrew children were before nebuchadnezzar and the huge statue that he had built and all were told to bow and worship this statue the three hebrew children only recognized jehovah god and they looked at the world's most powerful man who had this huge blazing furnace going that had already singed people who had the started the fire they looked him in the eye and said o king our god whom we serve is able to deliver us out of your hand that's bold faith hello america we the people of the united states and even in the church are bowing to pagan gods socialism is a pagan god it will destroy this nation what is your confession our confession is in god we trust we hold these things to be self-evident that we are created by we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights that among them are life liberty and the pursuit of happiness that is our declaration and so help us god we will achieve that a second kind of faith is natural faith natural faith when you're traveling and you get on an airplane you have faith that the pilot knows the difference between chicago and cuba when you vote for the president of the united states you have faith that he will honor the constitution of the united states of america the right to assemble the freedom of speech the freedom of religion america first why shouldn't america be first natural faith natural faith you have faith that your doctor knows the difference between a tonsillectomy and a hysterectomy they sound a lot alike but a lot of difference you have faith in your lawyer in your banker in your insurance man why not have faith in god who never fails god who is ever present god who is almighty god who has never failed you you can't find a person on planet earth that says god has failed him whose awesome power has been given to you faith is the victory that overcomes every barrier you're ever going to face have faith in god give the lord praise in the house the third kind of faith is mustard seed faith matthew 17 and 20 and jesus said unto them if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say unto this mountain be cast into yonder place and it shall be removed and nothing shall be impossible to you say that with me and nothing shall be impossible to you matthew 17 20. mustard seed faith is pure faith mustard seed faith will mix with nothing without transforming the taste of that substance you're looking at me kind of mysterious think of a hot jalapeno pepper in the middle of beans you can't put it in the beans without it affecting everything ah now you have it the mustard seed is small but it's pure it never ever wavers it's small but has the power to put mountains into the sea little is much when god is in it when you have pure faith god will do the impossible for you a fourth kind of faith is a measure of faith romans 12 and 3 god gives a measure of faith to every believer in christ shortly after you come to christ the prince of darkness will whisper in your ear you don't have faith that's a lie the bible says god has already given you a measure of faith you prayed the prayer the sinner's prayer as an act of faith you have that measure your faith right now it's up to you to read the word of god and listen to the word of god to increase your faith again the bible says faith cometh by hearing and hearing said with me by the word of god the will of god and the word of god are always in agreement because they're one and the same the question is how much do you read the bible that determines the quality of your faith and the amount of your faith don't say god is silent when your bible is closed six days out of the week a fifth kind of faith is faithless faith john 20 27 then said he to thomas extend your hand put your finger in my hands and be not faithless but believing faithless faith is that faith which must see before it believes people of faith say we believe and then we receive faithless people like doubting thomas say i am not going to believe until i touch the scars in his hand they have to see it to believe it they they say seeing is believing they are ruled by the flesh and they are never going to experience the power of god there are people who will drive a thousand miles to see a miracle when god is waiting to do a miracle in their church if they were spiritual enough to go to church if you don't go to god's house why do you think he's going to take you to his house [Applause] a sixth kind of faith is visible faith luke 5 20 and when he saw their faith say that with me and when he saw their faith god can see your faith he can see it in what you say he can see it in what you do he can see it in where you go where were you last night don't raise your hands he can see it in what you think as a man or a woman thinketh so is he faith is the victory that overcomes the world faith unlocks the gates of heaven the just shall live by faith say that with me the just shall live by faith that's you you and you every day of your life is a faith opportunity the seventh kind of faith is literal faith matthew 6 and 30 o ye of little faith little faith can only accomplish little things little faith is always worried about things listen to jesus sermon on literal faith and the things we worry about matthew 6 28-30 so why do you worry about clothing consider the lilies of the field how they grow they neither toil nor spend and yet i say to you that even solomon all of his glory was not arrayed like one of these now if god so closed the grass of the field that is today and is burned up tomorrow how much more will he clothe you oh you of little faith the point is if the sparrow in the fields know that god will provide for him this little bitty bird why don't you believe that you are as important to god as a sparrow because that's what you're saying sparrows don't take alka-seltzer sparrows don't watch fake news they don't have psychiatrists and lawyers they know there's a god in heaven that's taken care of them for hundreds of years and they're still going to be around daniel's prayer proved that god is in total control of your life in daniel 9 20-23 daniel's prayer takes about 30 seconds to read i'm talking about the length of his prayer the angel gabriel came from heaven to earth and appeared before daniel during his prayer daniel 9 21 how far away is heaven heaven is beyond the north star the speed of light is 186 000 miles per second that's really fast light from the north star that you see tonight has been traveling 200 years at that speed so you can see it think daniel started praying and he saw gabriel in heaven heaven is beyond the north star and when he finished gabriel was standing in front of him it's right there in the bible how fast can god get his angels to you to take care of you to protect you to guide you to defend you instantly at the worst it was 30 seconds but if daniel had his eyes closed it was instantaneously hallelujah but when they looked up they saw that the stone had been rolled away jesus is the king of kings and the lord of lords the cross did not conquer him and the grave could not contain him as we celebrate the resurrection of our lord and savior i want you to remember that christ sacrificed himself so that we might be redeemed this easter season hagee ministries would like to bless you with gifts from the holy land of israel for your gift of any amount you will receive the

conducted a faith seminar in matthew 6. five times in this text he says take no thought don't be anxious don't worry oh you of little faith don't worry about your life it's the greek word sookie talking about the physical earthly life and it means stop worrying verse 27 which of you by word can add a cubit he's referring to the quality of your life in verse 28 why do you worry about close verse 31 do not worry about food and drink half of america's own weight watchers right now don't worry about tomorrow that's the greek word for don't start worrying why because god is your father god is your father in this book he is your provider he is jehovah shama the lord who is always there you may not see him but he's there he is your healer he is your defender he is your rock he is your fortress in the day of battle he is your hightower he is your shield and buckler he is there when you need him god is good all the time he is good all the time give him praise in the house of god have faith in god because god is the god who has never failed it doesn't take great faith to believe in something that never fails god has never failed you can't find a person on earth in their right mind that would tell you god failed me ever notice how worry comes at a bad time it comes at a time of christ it's just when you need a clear mind and steady nerves to make a great decision here comes worry like a dark cloud to hide the sun like a leech draining you of your creative ability to think oh ye of little faith worry is a killer it makes cowards out of aggressive men it paralyzes the mind so that you cannot produce the better idea to solve a new problem worry robs your body of rest at night it sends you to work shattered shaky and second rate you're on the naked edge when you worry all the time medical science is now confirming that worry is the mother of cancer heart disease high blood pressure ulcers it's not what you're eating that matters it's what's eating you that matters worry has sent millions of bible believers to the cemetery before their time who were supposed to be serving the prince of peace jesus says do not worry do not worry do not worry take no thought o you of little faith let not your heart be troubled say that with me let not your heart be troubled almighty god has declared that he is a god who will not fail he will never forsake you he is from everlasting to everlasting i have defeated your enemies i have already solved the problems that you are about to go through have faith in god he is the shepherd who's in front of you eliminating your enemies and make the crooked path straight rejoice and be exceedingly glad the sun will come up in the east tomorrow and everything is going to be all right [Applause] worry is not just a sign of little faith it's a sin worry is practical atheism worry is practical atheism worry proves you don't believe god can take care of you worry is faith in fear we serve a great god who has never failed it takes no faith to believe in something that never fails two dominant words in jesus ministry was fear not because he is there to take care of every problem that you have david said yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death people see death as a problem let me tell you because of the cross death is nothing but a harmless shadow the shadow of a lion cannot hurt you the shadow of a snake cannot bite you the shadow of a sword cannot cut you a shadow is harmless the lord is my light and my salvation yea though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death i will fear no evil for thou art with me listen when you when you breathe your last breath here it is your first breath inside the gates of heaven your homes actually that's why jesus said he that believeth in me shall never die because when you breathe your last breath here you're instantly in heaven jesus said i am he that was dead and behold i am alive forever more than he that believes in me shall never die if that was the only message christianity had it would make this message the greatest message on earth your last breath here is your first breath there fear not sickness he's the great physician fear not poverty it is the lord that gives you the power to get wealth don't fear other people i will make your enemies to be at peace with you that's in the bible i will drown pharaoh at your feet i will help you climb the impossible mountain i will help you defeat the undefeatable foe a thousand shall fall at your left hand and ten thousand shall fall at your right hand david said i will fear no evil because you are with me oh ye of little faith worry is trust in the unpleasant worry is assurance that disaster is coming worry is belief in defeat and despair worry is a polluted stream that surges through the mind it drowns optimism it drowns hope and faith worry listen worry is interest paid on trouble that never happens one old man said most of the trouble i've had in life never happened and that's true having little faith what do we worry about we worry about being unfavorably compared with other people the bible says don't compare yourselves among yourselves you're a child of the king you are kings and priests unto god you are the ambassadors of christ you are somebody give the lord praise in this house don't worry about the things you can't change there's a prayer that goes like this lord grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to know the difference you don't worry about the collision of the planets what can you do about that don't worry about the federal budget we're already broke so don't worry about it don't worry about teenagers that grow up and that drive you crazy they will grow up and be a blessing someday [Applause] you can never change what you will not confront and sometimes the person you need to confront is the one you're looking at in the mirror don't worry about what you can't change don't worry about what you can change change it don't worry period it's a waste of time the bible presents seven kinds of faith with weak faith being evidenced by worry are you anxious are you worried over situations in your life in your business in your family in your health with your children with your prosperity you say pastor i would like to make a profession of faith today taken from the bible about god helping me to live without worry if that defines you i'd like you to stand your feet and repeat this proclamation of faith with me this is all taken from the bible it's not mine those of it are watching at home why don't you stand up get off the couch and repeat this with me let's pray together our most gracious heavenly father our most gracious heavenly father i approach your throne i approach your throne in the name of jesus christ in the name of jesus christ asking for the peace of god asking for the peace of god to flood my heart and mine today to flood my heart and mind today do not allow the thoughts of tomorrow do not allow the thoughts to destroy the peace of today to destroy the peace of today for your word declares for your word declares take no thought for tomorrow take no thought for tomorrow for sufficient unto the day for sufficient unto the day is the trouble for he cares for you the eternal god is my refuge and underneath are his everlasting arms and underneath are his everlasting arms he will drive out my enemies before me he will drive out my enemies before and god shall say and god shall say destroy them destroy them god is my refuge and strength god is my refuge a very present help in the time of trouble a very present health and time of trouble today i release my faith today i release to receive the peace and comfort of god to receive the peace and comfort of god i am casting all my care upon him i'm casting all of my care for he careth for me for he cares for me in jesus name in jesus name amen amen give the lord praise in the house this is a card that says the three greatest words speaking the word of faith there are several blank lines there and what i want you to do i want you to put a faith goal here something you want god to do for you that stretches your faith i want you to put something down there that makes the lord say oh look at that and i want you to believe the lord for it because until you start stretching your faith and exercising your faith it won't grow the bible says faith cometh by hearing the word cometh is a greek continuance verb god takes you to an arena where your faith is stretched as far as it can go and he meets it and then you step a little further and he meets it and you step a little further and he meets it and you step a little further and he meets it life gets exciting when you start talking to god and you're looking for the answer the next day that's when your prayer life is an adventure it's not a road something you have to do it's something you enjoy doing because you are talking to the creator of the universe who in an instant can make it happen have faith in god god bless you when you speak the word of god you are releasing the blessing of the
