Activate Your Faith: It Is Your Birthright to Believe God

There comes a time in every believer’s life when we must move from simply knowing about Faith to actively living by Faith.

Faith is not just a church word.
Faith is not just something we talk about when life is hard.
Faith is not passive.
Faith is substance.

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” — KJV

That means Faith gives spiritual weight to what you are hoping for. Faith brings heavenly substance into your earthly expectation. Faith is the active ingredient that connects what God has promised to what you are believing Him to manifest in your life.

When I ask in Faith, I can expect to receive. Why? Because Faith already carries the substance of what I am believing for.

Ask, Seek, Knock

In Matthew 7:7, Jesus says, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” — KJV

This is not just an invitation. It is a Kingdom principle.

Jesus did not say maybe. He did not say ask and hope God hears you. He did not say seek and maybe you will find. He said ask, seek, and knock.

There is a movement of Faith in this scripture. Ask requires Faith. Seek requires Faith. Knock requires Faith. To ask means I believe God can answer me. To seek means I believe God can be found. To knock means I believe there is a door that can open for me.

Faith is what keeps me asking when I do not see it yet. Faith is what keeps me seeking when I do not have the full picture. Faith is what keeps me knocking when the door has not opened yet.

Faith Is the Substance

Faith is powerful because it gives substance to hope. Hope says, “I believe it is possible.” Faith says, “I believe God is able.” Obedience says, “I will move like I believe Him.”

Hebrews 11 shows us men and women who lived by Faith. They did not always have all the details. They did not always know how God was going to do it but they believed God enough to obey Him.

By Faith, Noah prepared.
By Faith, Abraham went.
By Faith, Sarah received strength.
By Faith, Moses chose obedience.
By Faith, walls fell.
By Faith, people obtained a good testimony.

Hebrews 11:6 reminds us, “But without Faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is…” — KJV

Before I believe God for what He can do, I must first believe God for who He is.

He is faithful.
He is able.
He is present.
He is provider.
He is healer.
He is Father.
He is rewarder.

Faith Gives Birth to Testimony

Faith is often the beginning place of a testimony.

Before there is manifestation, there is belief.
Before there is evidence, there is trust.
Before there is a visible result, there is an invisible agreement with God.

When we believe God in Faith, we are saying, “Lord, I trust Your Word above my circumstances.”

Faith does not deny reality. Faith submits reality to the authority of God’s Word.

Faith says, “This is what I see, but God is greater.”
Faith says, “This is what I feel, but God is still faithful.”
Faith says, “This is what has happened, but God still has the final word.”

The believer’s life was never meant to be lived only by what we see. We are called to live by Faith.

The Gift of Faith

Faith is not something we have to manufacture in our own strength. God has given us Faith, and the Holy Spirit teaches us how to access it, grow in it, live by it, and use it for the Glory of God.

Faith grows when we hear the Word.
Faith grows when we obey God.
Faith grows when we remember what God has already done.
Faith grows when we pray and keep our eyes on Him.

Sometimes we are waiting on more evidence, but God is waiting on us to activate what He has already placed within us.

You do not need perfect faith to begin.
You need active Faith.

Use the Faith you have. Speak the Word. Pray the prayer. Take the step. Ask again. Seek again. Knock again.

It Is Your Birthright

As a believer, Faith is part of your spiritual inheritance. It is your birthright to believe God. It is your birthright to ask in Faith. It is your birthright to trust the Father. It is your birthright to expect God to be who He said He is.

You were not born again to live underneath fear, doubt, and unbelief. You were born again to walk with God, believe His Word, and carry a testimony that points back to His goodness.

So today, activate your Faith.

Ask God again.
Believe God again.
Trust God again.
Stand on His Word again.
Expect His faithfulness again.

Faith has substance. Faith carries evidence. Faith pleases God. Faith produces testimony. And when you ask in Faith, according to His will and His Word, you can trust that your Father hears you.

Prayer

Father, in the name of Jesus, teach me how to live by Faith. Strengthen my heart to believe Your Word above my circumstances. Help me to ask, seek, and knock with confidence, knowing that You are faithful and You are good. Holy Spirit, teach me how to access the gift of Faith, grow in Faith, and use my Faith for the glory of God. I declare that I will not live by fear. I will not be ruled by doubt. I will walk by Faith, believe Your promises, and trust You for the testimony. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Faith Declaration

I activate my Faith today.
Faith is the substance of what I hope for.
Faith is the evidence of what I cannot yet see.
I ask in Faith.
I seek in Faith.
I knock in Faith.
I believe God is faithful.
I believe God is able.
I believe God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
My Faith is alive, active, and growing.
I will receive the testimony that gives Glory to God.
Faith is my birthright, and I choose to live by Faith.

Yours in Christ Jesus

LESSONS from 2020 and Entering 2021

Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

This scripture is packed with promise….

I know for myself that God causes EVERYTHING to work for my good.   2020 has worked for my good….

Now there are some qualifiers…for this promise 1) those who LOVE GOD…and 2) those who are Called according to His purpose for them…

As believers we know that we Love God and we are Called according to His purpose in our lives.  I was like Ok Jesus thank you for this promise.  Holy Spirit just reminded me that even 2020 will work for my good.     So, I created this list of lessons…in no particular order.

  • Increase my Faith, Purpose, Peace Each one of these are connected to Destiny
  • A Spirit of Resilience – It was important to not quit and succumb to the despair and the oppressive atmosphere in 2020…in each circumstance Look for GOD in the midst His banner is over us
  • LIFE is truly precious – take time to tell your Love Ones you Love them and spend quality time with them
  • TIME is a precious Resource – you have 24 hours to complete your task don’t waste your time on non-producing activity and don’t waste other people time
  • Intentional with all activity – be ever present in all that you do and be deliberate in your actions
  • Hope and Expectations are important and connected to FAITH – believing in the dream or vision will manifest
  • The past & present are building blocks for your Future – use your past and present experiences to help navigate 2021

Look to the HILL!

 

Psalm 121:1

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

What are you need of today? Is it your health? Has the enemy robbed you today or yesterday in any area of your LIFE.  What are you Looking at.  I have come to rely on this scripture more and more.  My mother-in-law quotes this scripture ALL the Time.  I never knew why this was her go to scripture but as I have grown in the word of and as an adult I know what it truly means.

When I hear this song by Travis Green I am reminded of several scriptures but this one especially.  Psalm 121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  The Bible tell us we are the healed.  We as Believers, Christians, Children of the Most High God, the Remnant, or whatever adjective you are claiming today on the cross, on that hill, “Calvary” that Jesus said it is finish.

Today we operate in the finish work of Jesus.  We now have power and authority that was given back to us and all finished work at the cross is Ours.  So your healing is finished.  I’m dealing with healing today.  I have so many people connected to me that are being plagued in their bodies with sickness and disease and unrest and people of GOD that is not our portion.  You were healed at Calvary sickness and disease is trying to come up on you.  Whose report will you believe? Where are you Looking? What is your heart set on? Your healing/healed state of being or what the enemy and symptoms are saying. Today lets BELIEVE God.  8/22/2016

PRAYER6975079-green-hills

I pray for a Supernatural Revealed Word to be released over your Life today.  I plead the Blood of Jesus over every area that is contrary to the word of God concerning your body.  You are healed from the top of your heads to the soles of your feet.  No weapon shall by no means prosper against you I pray for divine health to manifest Now in Jesus name.  You are healed, You are whole, You are set free in Jesus name.  Lord we Thank you Right now in advance for you finished work in our lives in every area.  In Jesus name Amen.

 

Enmity

Enmity = Hostility, Hate, Antagonism, Hatred, Animosity, Antipathy, Rancor,     Ill will, Meanness, Nastiness, Spite, Resentment, Malice, Bitterness, Acrimony, Opposition, Dislike, Ill feeling, Loathing, Dislike, Abhorrence, Detest, Disgust, Bad Blood…

The Lord put enmity between you (WOMAN) and the enemy…..and Your seed and the enemy…..

Genesis 3:15

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Early this morning during prayer time I heard the Lord say I put Gen: 3:15 there for a reason.  Woman I do not want you to be complacent and think everything is OK.  Are you declaring and decreeing over your seed.  You are in a Spiritual War for your seed (children).  Who is winning?  Are You winning? Is satan winning?   Selah

I want you to really think about that before you answer.  Where has the enemy come in and touched your child (Kill, Steal, and Destroy)?  Do not be lulled into your ritualistic behaviors of getting up go to work, get off pick up kids, cook dinner, check homework, go to bed and repeat.  All the while your children are slowly slipping away from you.

The Lord is high lighting ENMITY today.  Please remember the devil is not your friend.  The devil will not leave your seed alone if you don’t “mess” with him.  You better open your eyes Mom/Dad/Guardians and see the salvation of the Lord and the tricks and schemes of the enemy.  This is an (RSA) Remnant Service Announcement. 8/23/16

PRAYER

Father I come to on behalf of our children today to lift them up before you God and ask that you continue to Bless and Keep them.  I thank you for divine instructions and supernatural protection in the name of Jesus.  Lord I thank you for Supernatural Divine health, wealth, and revelation to be the portion that my seed encounters.  I thank you that you put ENMITY between my family and the enemy and that no weapon shall prosper.  Glory to God in Jesus name Amen.

True Elevation

God has a better plan for you than you can even imagine. I was reading in Act ch 6 this morning where the 12 disciples of Jesus were in need of someone to step in and handle the business of the ministry. The 12 needed help…someone to serve. The requirements of the 7 individuals needed for service, were men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost, and Wisdom. The 7 were chosen and of the 7, 2 stood out the more. Phillip and Steven although qualified for service and served well they had extra. Man chose them to serve but God chose them to win souls.

If you read the accounts of Stephen and Phillip you will see great exploits for the LORD. These men were chosen to serve and in their service and commitment to the cause GOD elevated them. They remained humble and faithful and HOLY. God had a better plan for their lives.

God has a better plan for your life as well. God can choose you, fill you with the His Spirit, and elevate you to a place where healing and salvation is the ministry you steward. Oh, how marvelous to be in His will and plan for our lives. Ask God for those qualifications: honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and Wisdom then remain humble and faithful and watch God himself elevate you.

Praying Wives Strategies 2/26/14

If you have visited this site before then you may be aware of the Arise: Praying Parent page where there is information on a prayer conference call.  Well Arise Praying Parents was birthed 6 months after the Praying Wives United Group.  We share the conference line; Mondays we pray for our children and Wednesdays we pray for our husbands.  Both calls pray the word of God according to the Bible.  We have had much success and many testimonies.  This morning I shared some Strategies that the wives could use in order to see some success, transformation, relief, encouragement and strength.  Of course there was so much more I could have shared but here is where I was encouraged to start.  This list can be used for you children as well.  Be encouraged Saints of God that the Lord is Good and He answers your call in time of distress.

  • It’s your praise and thanksgiving that will pull you out….of the pit
  •  80/20 rule: are you focusing the one or two things that work your nerves or will you celebrate the 80% and watch God take you to 81%, 82%, 83%, 84% ect…and now all you can see is growth…..and an improved marriage, child, friend, ect…
  •  Are you doing your God given assignment in the Earth…if you stop focusing on him/husband and give God more energy you will see a turnaround….
  •  What are you praying and who is praying with you? I refuse to ask just anyone to pray with me. You better know what they believe in.
  •  Don’t look at the situation, circumstances, problem (LOOK AT JESUS)
  •  Don’t pray out of place prayers; don’t charge the atmosphere unbelief, ask Jesus to help your unbelief…
  •  It’s really not about where I want him/husband to be but it’s about where the Lord wants Him to be….so when I pray for my husband I ask and partner with Holy Spirit for the Lord to make him the Man of God that he is called to be….

A sound marriage, family, and life is part of our inheritance; even through trails and tribulations we are more than conquerors.

Inheritance

I named my Blog It’s Urbirthright….Why you may say? Well once I became a true follower of Jesus Christ I found out that I was a joint heir with Jesus. Whaaatt you may say… a joint heir? Yes a joint heir and with this inheritance comes benefits. Just as our earthly parents or relatives may leave an inheritance behind for their children so has our Father in heaven given to us an inheritance. So I decided to share in this blog some thoughts, encouraging words, as well as some of the benefits of being an heir. Here is a benefit *Heirs of all things – “The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” (Rev. 21:7)
Scripture tells us that in Romans Ch 8 vs. 15-17 that we are heirs…Romans 8:15-17 Amplified Bible (AMP) 15 For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! 16 The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. 17 And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him];
Stay tuned to find out about more benefits….Yours in Chris Carla 
