Daily Huddle - Fri Jul 5, 2019 Use It Or Lose It

Love you all, praying for you! 
 
Wonders are still what you do.  It’s in your character.  Wonders are still what you do, it’s in your nature.  Mountains are still being moved.  Strongholds are still being loosed.  God we believe it, yes we can see it.  Wonders are still what you do!  Praise God, He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever!  ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NigGsS6qlX8 )  This is a song of prophetic truth.  The message of the Father through the Holy Spirit, for this generation.  This song was breathed by the Spirit – not in the 70’s or the 80’s but in this generation.  
 
And as with anything God does, Faith is required.   God we believe it – yes we can see it.  You first believe it, then you see it.  If you don’t believe it – you don’t see it  (even if it is happening)  Praying for you, and also for others.  That we would never sell God short.  That we would never allow our mind to bind our faith, that our mind would never set it’s limits, boundaries, or enslave our faith to natural reasoning, or our own experience or understanding, or rationalization.  That we never allow our mind-formed theology (or someone else’s theology) to limit His power.  Anything is possible to those who believe.  To those who do not believe, nothing is possible.  In fact miracles are impossible for those who do not believe.  No different than salvation is impossible for those who do not believe.  Praying that you will always be a stirrer of faith in others, never a stealer.  If you don’t want to believe, that’s one thing… but don’t chain the faith of others by your own rationalization of God’s Truth or God's promise.  He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Faith is always the opposite of sight.  Faith is always the opposite of mind.  Faith is always the opposite of “common sense” according to the world’s reasoning.  Faith doesn’t make sense.  Faith is always the opposite of sight – until faith becomes sight. Then, miracles happen when He moves. 
 
Praying for you.  That God will bring you to the place where your faith loves people no matter what their lack of faith level – and that their lack of faith will never affect you.  Just like the person who says “There is no God” because that’s what they believe – and you still love that person – but their unbelief cannot make you suddenly question the existence of God.  You walk with Him daily, He speaks to you every day, He’s filled you with the deposit of His Holy Spirit – you have seen him answer prayer after prayer and do miracle after miracle in your own life.  Someone who says there is no God – doesn’t make you say… Hmmm, I wonder if he could be right.  How ridiculous.
 
There is an interesting observation here.  The one who says there is no God.  Is not lacking faith.  In reality, he is just placing his faith in something else – other than what God said.   It happens with non-believers and believers – both can be unbelieving.  In Romans 12:3 God said He gives to each man a measure of faith.  It couldn’t have happened when they got saved, because if they got their measure of faith when they got saved, then before they got saved, they wouldn’t have had any – which would have prevented them - from getting saved.  Ephesians 2:8 - For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.  That means the grace didn’t come from you, and the faith didn’t come from you.  So where did it come from?  It came from God.  God said He has given to each man a measure of faith.  Even the atheist has a measure of faith given by God, he just applies it to deception, rather than truth.   The irony is.  His faith is placed in something with zero evidence, your faith is based on the eternal truth of the Word of God.  With example after example in your own life, and human history.  There’s no comparison.   
 
No different from the believer in Christ – who used their faith – to believe for salvation, but doesn’t believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, or the existence of angels or miracles in our day.  He is lacking faith to believe for those things – but in reality, he just uses his faith to believe something else – something different than what God said.  They believe in their experience – over what God said.  Or they believe what someone else says over what God said. (Someone else’s limited experience – produced by their misdirected faith - their preacher or family member or friend or stranger’s podcast).   Every human investigation into any matter - unearths new information, new facts which up to this point have been outside or their knowledge or understanding. A sixth grader’s book report or science project – has them discovering facts and reality formerly outside of their mental understanding or personal experience.  So anyone who puts their faith and belief in what they think or have experienced so far, or what their buddies at school have experienced, would lack the truth and prevent themselves from experiencing many things.  If I don’t believe that chair will hold me, I’ll never sit in it.  Just because I’ve never flown – doesn’t mean people don’t fly across the country every.  Be careful what you put your faith in.  It’s not your lack of faith that limits you.  It’s that you let your mind hijack your faith – to believe something other than what God said.  It wants to soar, but you created a box for it, a cage. 
 
Praying that you would always stir faith in others.  That every conversation you have with them, with your testimony and doubling down on theirs – would stir and increase their faith.  Praying that nothing anyone says which is opposite from what God has promised – would even cause you to blink, much less reconsider.  God’s Word is powerful.  He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.  Anyone who believes less than what He promised, limits themselves, but never you.   Build your Faith and Use Your Faith.  Drench yourself in the Word, know His truth, His promise, and all the testimonies of it.  And never say to yourself – He doesn't do that anymore, or doesn’t want to – that’s deception trying to fool you.  Don’t let the devil’s lies enslave your faith – Do PRISM all day long.  Pray in the Spirit. Do PiVAT before dinner and Obey the very first thing! Obedience is what demonstrates, activates, and proves your faith.   Ask God to increase your faith, and decrease your unbelief.  And every time you catch yourself thinking less than God promised or said or did, arrest your mind instantly.  That’s the devil trying to get a foothold to steal your faith!  Don’t let him.  Declare His Word Out Loud.  He’s the same yesterday, today and forever.  And He’s not getting worse, He’s getting better!  His power is not diminishing over time, it's multiplying!  He’s not less faithful, He’s more and more faithful.  John 14:12 - Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.  If you catch yourself believing one ounce less, the devil is stealing your faith.  Don’t let him.  Ask God to increase your faith and decrease your doubt.  Mark 9:24 - Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"   He will.  Just do everyday what He told you to do to build your faith, PRISM, Pray in the Spirit, Obey immediately, and Give Your Testimony – your Daily Call is where you start.   Praying that your faith will soar – by the Holy Spirit, never limited by your mind.  Build yourselves up in your most holy faith – and when those mountains come – you will see them fall.  Lord we believe it, yes we can see it.  Wonders are still what you do.
