Ephesians 2:4-10
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
It starts with believing Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour for your salvation
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Once you belief, have His faith work in you, which is God’s faith; starting the engine with faith and use faith shift on every gear.
The problem is the word “but”, it stops people from moving forward because of doubts and then comes fear.
FEAR – False Evidence Appearing Real
BUT – Blocking Unconditional Thanksgiving
1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
The Now faith is what we need to use from there:
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
If you really read closely, NOW FAITH, not with comma and then faith.
Now therefore, we need to walk by faith not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight:
In closing while we walk by faith, we then have experience though tribulations.
Romans 5:1-4
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Don’t forget, you sitting in power and faith activates that power.
Colossians 3:1
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
