Faith Is All We Need

DISCLAIMER:

Since there are a large amount of sermons and topics and illustrations that are posted on Sermon Central, I feel it is necessary to place this disclaimer on all of the sermons that I submit.

These sermons are original to the author and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

While ideas and illustrations are often obtained from many sources including those at sermoncentral.com, any similarities and wording including sermon titles, that may appear to be the same as any other sermon are purely coincidental.

In instances where other minister’s exact wording is used, due recognition will be given.

These sermons are not copyrighted and may be used or preached freely.

May God richly bless you as you read these sermons.

It is my sincere desire that all who read them and hear them may be lifted up to a higher relationship with God.

Most of the scriptures quoted in these sermons are copies and quoted from the New Living Translation of the Holy Bible.

I do at times use scripture from several different versions of the Bible such as NIV, New King James Version, King James Version etc.

Any and all ministers may freely use any of my sermons and post them anywhere that they want to.

After all, it is God’s Word and not our own!

Faith Is All We Need

November 2000

Jesus answered and said unto them, go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see; the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached unto them ( Matthew 11:4-5 ).

Faith is a subject that holds the interest of everyone.

The Bible says that faith comes by hearing the Word of God.

We can pray all day long and still not have faith.

We must listen to the Word of God, this produces faith.

God does not talk as man talks.

Man makes promises and never keeps them.

You cannot trust the word of man.

God makes promises and keeps them.

You can always trust the Word of God.

This is why faith is based on the Word of God, it is a sure thing; it is a solid foundation.

Heaven and earth may pass away, but the Word of God will endure forever.

God is the source of all faith.

The Bible declares in John 1:1, that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14, says the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.

God created the Heavens and the earth by the Word of faith.

That same Word became flesh, and that flesh was named, Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was the visible manifestation of the Word of God.

Jesus Christ was the love of God.

Jesus Christ was the mind of God.

Jesus Christ was the power of God.

Jesus Christ was the faith of God.

Jesus Christ was the truth of God.

Jesus Christ was the light of God.

Jesus Christ was the life of God.

Wherever Jesus walked, the Word walked.

Trusting and hearing Jesus, was putting faith in His Word.

When Jesus spoke, the Word went forth and produced faith in His hearers.

Wherever the Word goes, faith goes.

Faith is a follower of the Word.

They are married to each other.

If the Word ceased to exist, faith would cease to exist.

Some people are content in singing, praying, and rejoicing, but have no desire for the preaching of the Word.

The preaching of the Word of God is the most important.

The Word produces faith,that will help us grow in Christ.

This is why we have so many spiritual runts in the church today; some don’t want to hear the preaching of the Word.

Faith is something that cannot be harnessed by man.

God has dealt to every man a measure of faith.

When we hear His Word, our faith increases.

When we reject His Word, our faith decreases.

Faith brings results, where unbelief brings disaster.

Faith counts it done, before the evidence is seen.

Faith walks down the corridors of time, it sees new faces and performs new exploits.

Faith lives through the centuries.

Faith laughs at the education of man.

Faith walks through the walls of difficulties, walls of trials, and persecution.

Faith laughs at impossibilities.

Faith cannot be stopped, cannot be quenched, and cannot be conquered.

Faith gets the job done, while theologians dispute.

When faith walks, devils hide.

When faith walks, Hell trembles.

When faith walks, unbelief vanishes.

When faith walks, doubt disappears.

When faith walks, angels rejoice.

Faith leaves a trail of miracles wherever it goes.

Faith was at Mt. Carmel.

Elijah challenged the false prophets of Baal by faith.
