Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith
Isaiah 40:8 (KJV) The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
VERY BRIEFLY THIS MORNING I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT
(NOW FAITH)
NOW FAITH …THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPE FOR
NOW FAITH …THE THINGS WE EXPECT TO RECEIVE FROM GOD
NOW FAITH…THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN
NOW FAITH …THE PROOF WE ONLY HAVE BY BELIEVING
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
IT`S NOW FAITH…THAT MOVES US BEYOND THE OLD WAY OF THINKING
AND IT ALLOWS US TO BELIEVE THAT GOD IS ABLE TO DO WHAT HE CHOOSES TO DO
WHEN HE CHOOSES TO DO IT AND HOW HE CHOOSES TO DO IT
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
NOW FAITH ..IS A FAITH THAT’S ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR
IT`S A FAITH THAT DOSENT DWELL ON YESTERDAYS TROUBLES
AND IT DOSE`NT FOCUS ON TOMORROWS PROBLEMS
BUT IT FOCUS ON WALKING WITH JESUS ONE DAY AT A TIME
AND TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF NOW FAITH
YOU HAVE GO BACK TO THE 10TH CHAPTER OF HEBREWS
BECAUSE IN THE 10TH CHAPTER THE WRITER OF HEBREWS TELLS US ABOUT
Until Christ, animal sacrifices took place year after year on the Day of Atonement, reminding the people of their
guilt.
The daily and yearly repetition of the sacrifices reminded the people of their sins,
and taught them that it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
Animal sacrifices provided only a temporary way to deal with sin until Jesus would come to deal with sin
permanently.
Through his death on our behalf, believers can boldly enter heaven`s Most Holy Place
because of the blood of Jesus.
Believers have access to the heavenly sanctuary; that is, they have free access to God. Christ now sits at
God’s right hand as our High Priest in this heavenly sanctuary
AND BECAUSE OF WHAT CHRIST DID AT CALVARY
--
WE NOW HAVE ACCESS TO GOD TO COME BOLDLY BEFORE THE THRONE OF GRACE
BUT NOT THOSE IT ONLY GIVES US ACCESS
BUT IT PUT US IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD
IN OTHERS WORDS IT PUT US IN RIGHT FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD AND MAN
THAT WHY WE ARE TO LOVE --ENCOURAGE -AND HELP OUR BROTHER AND SISTERS IN
CHRIST
Hebrews 10:24-25 (KJV) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
[25] Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one
another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
I DON`T WANT TO HOLD YOU TO LONG

IS BELIEVING WHEN WE DON`T SEE IT
NOW FAITH IS GIVING WHEN I DON`T HAVE IT

he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet
speaketh.
NOW FAITH IS WHEN YOU WALK WITH GOD ON A DAILY BASES
Hebrews 11:5 (KJV) By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found,
because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
IT`S OBEYING THE WORD OF GOD EVEN WHEN I DON`T UNDERSTAND IT
Hebrews 11:8 (KJV) By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should
after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
NOW FAITH IS PERSISTING WHEN I DON`T FEEL LIKE IT
Hebrews 11:24-25 (KJV) By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son
of Pharaoh's daughter;
[25] Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season;
NOW FAITH IS THANKING GOD BEFORE I RECEIVE IT
Hebrews 11:30 (KJV) By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven
days.
NOW FAITH IS TRUSTING GOD IF I DON`T GET IT
Hebrews 11:39 (KJV) And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Hebrews 11:40 (KJV) God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be
made perfect.
