Title: "Faith to Work the Word!"
Speaker: Pastor Jerome
The definition of WORK: exertion or effort directed to produce or accomplish something; labor; toil. productive or operative activity.
employment, as in some form of industry, especially as a means of earning one's livelihood: to look for work.
Working the Word means I have to do something in order for it to work!
Many believe that the bible is true but they are NOT working it (believing it) it to be true.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
You don’t need a miracle but a SOLUTION to your problems! There are many solutions to any one issue that you may have but you must know the answer, which is in the Word of GOD!
If you are battling anything you need knowledge of the Word to Work the Word!
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Isaiah 55:11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
I Thessalonians 5:24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
1) Speak the Word over any situation!
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. - The fruit is what your words have produced.
2) Ask
Mark 11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
I'm asking but I'm not getting… what am I doing wrong?
James 4:2-3 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
3) Are YOU asking Wrong! You are asking for the wrong reasons,you are asking for the wrong stuff, you are being selfish in your asking. GOD knows your motive behind why you are asking for this or that. And your asking has to be according to HIS Will and HIS will has to be in harmony with HIS Word!
In order for the Word to work, you must speak it, ask it, ask it according to the Word, and you must act on it, you must do something.
For an example
I Peter 5:6-7 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Psalms 55:22 Cast your burden on the Lord , And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
I don’t even when someone tells me to to take care… I be like no... I will NOT take care, I cast my cares!
Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days. - This reaping what you SOW, whatever you put out will come back to you.
Jonah 1:10-13
Sometimes you just need to throw your “JONAH” out of the boat to calm the STORM or to change your atmosphere! Your “Jonah” may be a so-called friend, a boy or girlfriend, a family member, a job, living above your means, or just disobedience to GOD. Let it GO and move on!
GOD will either remove the "Jonah" from you, or remove you from it.
When we are removed from the boat, that causes a storm in other people's lives to ease!, Our DISOBEDIENCE bleeds over into other folks lives!
Jonah 1:15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
