Faith Considers Him/He Did it for Me

Praise the Lord, everybody! This is Minister Novice. Apostle Holcomb preached a message this week entitled, Faith Considers Him. The subtitle is "He Did it for Me". The message text is found in Hebrews 12:1-3.

The word consider has a 7 fold meaning.

1. Ponder

2. Pay attention to

3. Think about

4. Look at

5. See

6. Say who He is

7. Obey what He says

As we are looking unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith, God will develop our faith and trust in Him. It is of the essence that we begin and end with Jesus and allowing Him to be everything in between. We learned that there are four operations of faith as follows:

1. Saving Faith is the faith that we are saved by.

2. Sufficient Faith is the faith that we live by. Faith receives what grace gives.

3. Strong Faith is being able to believe God on behalf of others.

4. The Spirit's Faith is Sovereign Faith that God releases on our behalf.

We learned to consider the Lord in every aspect of life. We must trust in the truthfulness of God's Word, which He places above His name. As we step out of the boat of security, we step out on the water of God's Word without doubt, fear and unbelief. Doubt questions the veracity of God's integrity and fidelity. As always, please remember to remain in the place of grace. Remain in the place by Jesus.
