Andrew Wommack-Identity in Christ

Faith
Realize you have it!
Learn how to use it!

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.”
Faith is a gift of God, not just salvation, the faith for salvation is a gift of God!
Human faith--sense knowledge, what you see, a pilot flying a plane, you trust that he knows what he is doing, a chair, you trust that what you are sitting in will continue holding you. But if you saw that the plane was messed up, you would by NO means get on it! If you saw the legs of the chair cracked and just ready to break, you would NOT sit in it! This is human “faith.”
Supernatural Faith--Believing things apart from senses, to believe in God, you can’t see him, if I told you to sit in the chair 4 rows in front of me, and you knew that there were only 3 rows in front of me, (assuming I was God) you could have faith that because I said it, you could sit there and not fall down. That is supernatural faith in the word of God, believing to action.

God’s Faith--it is God’s faith that we use for salvation! Not of our own faith. Faith is a fruit of the spirit, the spirit that lives in you.
Imparted through the Word
1 Peter 1:23 “Having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.”
Call those things that be not as though they are. Romans 4:17 “(As it is written, ‘I have made you a father of many nations’) in the presence of Him whom he believed--God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.”

Romans 12:3 “For I say, through the grace given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one the measure of faith.”
In our spirits we have “the” measure of faith, not “a” measure, they are all the same! I have the same measure of faith as Paul had! I have the same faith as Andrew Wommack has. Though each one has more faith active in their lives from others. Because some people let their faith get lazy!
You don’t have a faith problem, you have a knowledge problem!
Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Speak death and you will have death, speak life and you will have life. Its simple.

Remember that you have the same faith that raised Jesus from the dead on the inside of you. (Ephesians 1:19-20)

If you don’t understand that, then put you mind to this.
The laws of electricity have always been around, it was not invented 100 years ago or whatever, it has always been there, but humans, because of a lack of knowledge, a lack of understanding the laws that govern electricity, are the reasons that we did not have electricity working for us until then. It is not us that produces those electrical charges, it is the electric company! And if someone gets killed by a live wire, it is not the electric company! It is a lack of understanding! It is a trustworthy thing, electricity will not do things randomly, if you know what you are doing with it then you have nothing to fear. And if you want the lights on in your house… you don’t call the electric company to get them turned on, you flip the switch! You have control over the lights.
So look at the power of God, first of all it is God’s power, it comes from Him, if you have a lack of understanding, then you could get hurt! If you are always speaking death out of  a lack of understanding, it will still work, it’s a spiritual law, its not God hurting you. The electric company doesn’t try to shock you, it’s a lack of understanding. (We have all stuck our fingers in the electrical socket as kids, and we never blamed it on our parents for paying the electric bill, and we didn’t blame the electric company for giving it to them.) But the power of God runs on spiritual laws! And God has given us the spiritual authority to turn the switches on and off! We don’t ask God to turn them on, we turn them on! The power flows through us at our permission and authority. But don’t ever think it is your power, it is God’s power and His only! We are just the electrical socket! Lets not shock people, lets not speak death, lets bring life and light to the world!


AWESOME!

Have a great day!
I know I will!
