Embark on a spiritual odyssey with our latest Uniting Faith session, where we unravel the mystery of standing strong in the face of adversity through faith and prayer. Have you ever wondered how the whole armor of God, as described in Ephesians 6:13, can become an impenetrable shield in your life? Join us as we dissect this powerful metaphor, showing you how to clad yourself in truth and faith to quench the onslaught of challenges. Together, we'll discover how prayer—especially the prayer of faith—serves as a potent magnet for miracles, affirming our trust in God's unwavering promises.
In this soul-nourishing dialogue, I share my insights on the foundational role of faith in igniting effective prayer, and how the seemingly insignificant choices we make daily can chart our course towards destiny. Through the lens of David's triumph over Goliath, we draw inspiration for our own battles, learning to cast a gaze beyond the present towards the victory that faith promises. We explore the collective power of unity in prayer and the life-altering impact of immersing ourselves in scripture. This episode is your invitation to a deeper understanding and a stronger conviction, as we journey together, prayer by prayer, towards the extraordinary life God has envisioned for us.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, hello and God bless you.
Welcome to Uniting Faithprogram every single week,
coming to you at the same time.
Listen, we believe that God,strategically, is going to move
in your life.
Today, I want to teach you thedynamics of faith, the different
types of prayer.
Also, too, I want to encourageyou to download a free app,
(00:24):
absolutely free.
You can go to your Apple storesor androids, however you want
to, and just download a free app, because I believe that's going
to encourage you.
24-7 materials is there for youto learn the knowledge of God.
You know, the Bible says inHosea 4 and 6, my people are
destroyed for the lack ofknowledge.
(00:45):
So we want to obtain knowledge,wisdom, from God.
So today we're going to learnin Ephesians, chapter 6, verse
13, how to stand firmly on theword of God.
Now, in Ephesians, chapter 6,we're for take unto you the
whole armor of God that you maybe able to withstand in the evil
(01:06):
day and have it done all tostand.
Let me say that again we're fortake unto you the whole armor
of God that you may be able towithstand in the evil day and,
having done all to stand, standthere for verse 14, having your
learns, your learns, gird aboutwith truth and pray in and
(01:30):
having on the breastplate ofrighteousness and your feet shot
with the preparation of gospelpeace.
Above all, taking the shield offaith wherewith you shall be
able to quench all the fairydarts of the wicked, and take
the helmet of salvation and thesword of the spirit, which is
the word of God.
Now, verse 18, praying alwayswith all prayers, supplications
(01:55):
in the spirit, watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints,praying always with all prayers.
So let's talk about thedifferent types of prayers.
Well, here, I have my noteshere, so I'm going to share it
with you.
Ephesians, chapter 16, chaptersays verse 13 talks about
(02:16):
staying firmly.
The writer and the apostle Paulhere speaking to the efficacy
believers Now, when you standfirmly on the word of God, that
means you have a solidfoundation, your anchor in God,
and when you're anchoring God,no matter what the enemy try to
dish out against you, ladies andgentlemen, the beauty of it is
(02:39):
you are already victorious.
Now, all manner of prayer.
Let's talk about them.
You have the prayer of faith.
Faith makes prayer worse.
Listen, you have the prayer offaith.
The prayer of faith is yourconfession that I believe God is
the.
It sounds elementary, I know,but see, when you step out into
(03:02):
the rims and the depths of faith, sometimes we can complicate
faith.
When, in fact, faith is like abanished force, it attracts the
miracles to you and not awayfrom you.
So we just got through readingthe book of Ephesians, chapter
six.
He talked about put on thewhole armor of God.
Why it's compared to the Romanstyle soldiers when they went
(03:24):
into battles and wars.
It's a type of game that theyhad.
So the apostle Paul lists usall the types of armor and
weapons that are not corner butthey're mighty through the
pulling down the strongholds.
Why?
Because there are differenttypes of prayers.
You have repetitious prayer.
That's simply saying that youjust you pray repetitiously the
(03:47):
same thing over and over andover and over, but the prayer of
faith is when you speak it.
You got to remember this.
He said I'll steam my wordabove my name.
So therefore, ladies andgentlemen, if he has steamed his
word above his name, think howmuch more influential, how
powerful it is.
You miss the name with the word.
(04:08):
Now you have a place of prayer.
Well, prayer is your dialoguewith God.
It's your communication channelbetween heaven and you.
Well, the apostle Paul talksabout the prayer of faith.
Sit with me.
Prayer of faith, faith makesprayer work.
Faith.
Does you know, when we pray wedon't pray a miss, we don't pray
(04:32):
just for anything.
We pray to have the will of God, to know the mind of Christ and
to know his purpose in ourlives.
And many times we get sofrustrated with praying because
it's seen, with all that praying, but I don't see the results.
I'm praying but I don't seenothing manifesting in my life.
(04:56):
So I want to encourage you tocontinue in the rim of prayer.
Why?
Because when you put on thewhole of God, the Bible says
stand, stand firmly on the wordof God.
What did that mean?
No matter how you test it, nomatter how many times you've
been trying, stand on the wordof God, because when you stand
(05:17):
on his word, it's alreadyforever settled.
You know we're like a treeplanted by the waters which
shall not be moved.
Why?
Because we know in whom webelieve and whom we trust.
And our trust is not in our ownresources and our own ability,
our own ingenuity.
It's in the fact that his wordis forever settled.
(05:38):
So if God's word is foreversettled, that means you today,
today stand firmly on the wordof God.
But you say life challengeshave hit me in every direction,
obstacles on every hand.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, weall go through the triumph
periods in our lives, but theword of God is your guarantee,
(06:00):
roadmap to absolute victory.
It's God's guarantee absolutevictory in your life.
You're not going to succumb tofear.
You're not going to succumb todoubt and disbelief.
We're going to stand, believeGod's word.
Listen the prayer of faith.
(06:20):
Faith makes prayer work.
So what am I really saying?
Faith made prayer work.
In other words, I believe thatwhen I pray, heaven's already
heard me.
I believe, when I'm donepraying, I don't have to see it
immediately, I don't have tofeel it immediately.
I just have a knowing, by faithin the Word of God, that
(06:45):
whatsoever I ask of the Fatherin Jesus' name, it has to be
established and done.
Because he said I look over myword to hasten it, to perform it
, to bring it to pass.
I'm not a man that shall lie tome.
The Son man shall repent.
Have I said it and shall I notdo it?
Wow, that is so powerful.
(07:06):
We need to know that the prayerof faith works.
You have to apply differentforms of prayer.
Faith needs correspondence.
James, chapter 5, verse 3, weunderstand that.
James, chapter 5, verse 3through 15.
Listen, faith needscorrespondence on your behalf.
(07:27):
In other words, faith withoutworks is dead.
So you've got to realize this,ladies and gentlemen, when you
move into the rims of faith,don't complicate faith because
of what you're going through orwhat the Emmy dish is out
against you.
Stand flat foot it on the Wordof God and trust Him.
He's to anchor the holes, inspite of the storms of life and
(07:51):
the winds that often howl in ourlives.
You know, the winds ofopposition often come in every
direction, but God is faithfuland he is a just God who will
not allow you to go under.
But you're going over for theglory of God.
So faith needs what Corresponds, something you have to do in
(08:13):
order for faith to work.
You got to put faith intoprocess.
You put into process by movingtowards everything that God says
, for example, whatever Godpromised.
You remember, this smalldecision makes your destiny.
Small decisions makes yourdestiny.
(08:35):
It's not the huge and the bigdecision that we often make that
we're saying oh my God, what amI going to do.
It's a small decision thatcauses your destiny to come
alive in your life.
Just small decisions, justdoing something small today, a
decision simply based upon whatGod ordained for you, what God
(08:57):
has chosen for you, what Godcalled you to do.
The beauty of following God isunderstanding this.
In the book of Ephesians,talking about put on the whole
armor of God.
Then stand firmly on the wordof God.
Put on that whole armor, thesoul of the word of God, the
shield of faith, therighteousness, the breastplate
(09:19):
of righteousness.
Why the helmin' of salvation?
Why?
Because that's the arm of Godwhen you up against
confrontational spirits, whenyou up against the enemy, when
the enemy had desired to come inand to steal, kill and destroy,
small decisions every singleday leads you to a better
awareness of your purpose andyour destiny.
(09:42):
And when you get to that placeand say, alright, my mind's made
up, my mind's made up, know mywhat challenges in life that may
come or go, my mind is made up.
I believe God's Word, I believeHis promise and I know that
today's going to be the best dayof my life, because I'm
(10:03):
speaking that by faith.
I'm speaking to the atmosphere.
Word by word comes to breedinggrounds of miracles and I
realize that my faith isestablished in the Word of God.
That is my foundation.
Word by word, I build my lifeeach and every day off of the
principles of God.
Because the beauty of this isput on the whole arm of God.
(10:26):
Why?
Because that's an adversary,that's confrontational spirits.
There is adversities on everyhand, but when you face those
adversities, you're not facingin defeat, you're facing in
absolute victory.
So today I want you to put onthe whole arm of God.
Digest the Word of Heaven intoyour belly and over.
(10:48):
Digest this word into yourspirit man.
Digest it into your life andrealize that greater is he
that's in us than he that's inthe world.
Put on the whole arm of God.
Why?
Because the enemy may come incommon like a flood.
The Holy Spirit will raise up astandard against all
adversities.
(11:10):
But you say you don't understandabout amen.
It's ranging.
The furnace has been turned upseveral times hotter.
Well, the Hebrew children hadto go through the furnace of
affliction.
But they came out.
Not one head was stanched, notone burnt upon their flesh.
Their garments were not burntor stained with smoke from the
(11:31):
fire.
Why?
Because the glory of Godprotects us.
And when you minister out ofthat cloud of glory.
You realize that, no matter whatI may have to combat in this
life, I'm a soldier in the armyof God.
So as a soldier in the army ofGod, I realized that the Bible
(11:53):
is not mine, but it belongs toGod.
So therefore, I'm going to makewhat All decision makes your
destiny.
There's all manner of prayer,but the prayer of faith is what
makes prayer work, the prayer offaith, a positive confession.
(12:14):
You know, the Bible says thatlife and death is in the tongue.
So by your words or you justifyit, or by your words, you are
condemned.
So power is where, is in what?
The world of God.
So when you speak life, you'respeaking the will of God.
(12:35):
God said I desire for you tolive a life abundant.
Let us wish, above all things,that thou would prosper me in
health, even as your soulprosper.
Third John, verse 2,.
But love, I wish above allthings that thou would prosper.
So small decision today isgoing to bring you to the
penalty of your destiny.
It's not the huge decision thatwe often have to make for our
(12:57):
business, our ministry or ourjob, or where the case may be.
Small decision leads you toyour destiny, which brings
rewards to you, because Hebrew11 and since, says, though, that
diligently seek God.
He says he is a rewarder ofthem who diligently seek him.
(13:18):
So now, if you're diligentlyseeking him, then he is a
rewarder to everyone that openedtheir hearts and their minds
and spirit.
Get in the word of God, digestthe word of God, take that word
inside of you, word by word.
It builds your faith, man up,it builds faith inside of you,
(13:41):
and faith becomes the anatomyfor all breakthroughs.
Why?
Because faith cannot be seen.
It has to be in the knowing.
Faith is not what you see.
Faith is in the knowing whatyou believe.
So I don't got to see it for meto believe it.
I don't got to feel it to knowthat it's there.
(14:02):
Because the word of God saysI'll never leave you, neither
would I forsake you, lo.
I'll be with you even unto theends of your days.
But, ladies and gentlemen,that's why we have this program
called Initing Faith to Buildyour Faith Up, to ignite faith
inside of you, to believe forthe promises of God.
(14:24):
You know, stand firmly on theword of God.
The Apostle Paul said listen tothe efficacy believer.
He said put on the whole arm ofGod.
Don't, don't just don't put onsome, but put on the whole arm
of God.
Why Untill you the whole arm ofGod that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day andhave done all to stand?
What are you talking about?
(14:45):
What are you talking about thetime where everything is
questioned in your life?
Everything in your life isdepicting fear or doubt.
Then God said cast that spiritof fear aside, because I'm not
giving you a spirit of fear, buta power, a sound mind, the love
of Christ that permeates thehardest heart and the stiffness
(15:08):
of neck.
God desires for you and I that,when we go up against the powers
of darkness, put on the wholearm of God.
Don't ever go into a battlewith the enemy or a
confrontation against the enemywhen you do not have the armor
of God on.
You need the armor, and thatarmor protects you from the
(15:33):
daggers of the enemy, from thedarts of the enemy.
And, my God, I want you to know, just like David, you can
conquer all of your Goliath.
I don't care how tall the jazzmay be standing in your life
right now or how manypossibilities is around you on
every hand.
Just like David, god's gonnaelevate you, he's gonna promote
(15:55):
you and you're gonna take downthe chance in your life.
Why?
Because God has already causedyou to be more than a conqueror.
Why Because the conqueror livesin you and I today.
So I want to ignite faith inyou.
I want you to know today,ladies and gentlemen, that yes,
the battle is raging wolf areais intensifying, but greater is
(16:18):
he that's in us than he that'sin this world.
So, whatever you may confront onthe everyday basis of your life
, walk in daily with God.
Remember that the word of Godis forever settled, and listen
when God's talking about hisword.
Forever settled, he framed theword.
The whole entire world wasframed off of one spoken word.
(16:44):
Now that is so powerful.
One spoken word.
He said let there be and neverrepeated himself.
So when we become word speakersor we advocate the mind of God
into the earth, what we'resaying the thoughts of heaven
speaks louder in the earth.
(17:04):
Why?
Because whatever you bound inheaven, whatever you bound in
earth, is bound in heaven.
Whatever you loosen the earthwill be what Loosen the heavens.
I want you to know that God isfaithful and he's a just God and
you need to realize this, thatnothing is impossible with God.
So we're talking about theprayer of faith, faith that
(17:25):
makes prayer move.
In other words, faith put legson your prayer.
So therefore, it moves in thedirection, in the course that
God has set for you by becauseyou have learned to stand.
You know, when you learn tostand, that means you're
learning to trust God.
Let me say that again when youstand, when you're done all you
know what to do and you standfirmly on the word of God,
(17:48):
you're letting God know.
I am standing on your word andI'm trusting you.
And though I do not see it,although I do not feel it, I do
know your word is alreadyestablished in my heart, in my
spirit.
I meditate day and night.
Therefore, I shall have greatsuccess because I realize that
(18:12):
I'm trusting the word of God.
I'm standing firm.
So when I'm standing, I'm notgonna be wavering between two
opinions, whether or not God isGod.
But Joshua said for me in myhouse we shall serve the Lord.
Well, what is he saying For meand my entire family?
(18:33):
We are devoting our lives,everything about us, our
resources, whatever God blessesus with.
We all have devoted ourselvesto God.
Why?
Because a house united canstand against any
confrontational spirits.
A house united can standagainst the wiles of the enemy.
(18:55):
Only when a house is dividedthat it starts collapsing in the
foundation.
So today, ladies and gentlemen,we want your foundation to be
strong, and the only way it canbe strong is you've got to
meditate day and night in theword of God.
In that you find life andsuccess.
It is a roadmap to your victory.
(19:16):
Small decision I want you tounderstand that today Small
decisions makes your destiny.
Say that again.
Small decisions makes mydestiny.
Why Not the huge decision thatwe make in business or ministry,
or our life or family?
These are small things thatoften we overlook the
(19:40):
significance of one smalldecision, each and every day of
our life, for 365 days out ofthe calendar year.
Every day, one decision cancause you come closer to God or
away from God.
One decision can cause you thento the blessings of God that
make it rich and add no sorrow,or it caused your destiny to be
(20:03):
delayed.
But God is faithful, he is ajust God and he loves you with
ever less than love.
So this broadcast today we'retalking about small decisions
makes your destiny Because youhave to keep the armor of God on
why each and every part of thatarmor is to protect you, is to
(20:26):
help you up, be a better soldier, marching with absolute victory
, because you own the winningside.
And you know I said there's somany times, so many months, I
Read the devil's obituary heloses.
You are on the winning side,just like King David, who folk
(20:46):
alive.
You know the battle was ragingin the middle of the valley and
it seemed like the enemy wastoning the people of God,
humiliating them.
Real acumen them.
But here come David, at theright place, right time in his
life.
Another were at the right placeat the right time and he had
(21:07):
Pacific weapons that he wasskilled in.
So he knew, also to that, thesecret In knowing who God is.
Not in David strength, not inDavid's ability, but God's
ability working through the lifeof David, who fought against
(21:28):
the giant of the Philistines, upagainst all the nation of
Israel, including their king.
Everyone succumbed to fear.
You know, being dismayed by thesigns of that giant.
But Goliath was no match forthe God in David.
(21:48):
Now, is that not powerful?
Remember the recipe that Davidused, psalm 23 and 1 the Lord is
my shepherd, my indication thatDavid pray and had a
relationship with Christ, had arelationship with Jehovah, god.
He's in Psalm 23 1.
The Lord is my.
That were my indication.
(22:09):
I have a relationship with Godbased upon my own faith, my
faith in God, my prayer life,the language of Faith that I
speak unto heaven.
I don't have to see it To knowit, to believe it, because his
word is already forever.
Seven.
Heaven, earth shall pass away,but my word shall never pass
(22:34):
away.
That's the beauty of this.
So David goes on there infight's collide that you know
the story.
Small decisions make yourdestiny.
Wow, that is such a powerfulstatement.
Why big cause?
Often we overlook, weoveranalyze situations around us
in circumstances that we oftenfight or we go through every day
(22:58):
of our lives, whether we ownthe mountain or valley.
There is testing days, there istesting periods, but faith says
no matter how I'm tested, Iknow the outcome.
Faith already sees what youcannot see in a natural eyes, of
what you cannot hear in thenatural ears.
Faith sees your tomorrow.
(23:19):
Faith sees already you got thevictory.
Faith sees already that you'regonna be promoted.
Faith sees already I'm alreadya giant killer, I'm already
taking down the giants.
So face, say, you know what.
It doesn't matter whichdirection the wind may blow, I
know who's on board with me.
I know Jesus.
(23:41):
And today, the Master of theseas, who were the one who walks
on the seas, one who comes totrouble waters in your soul,
that same Christ today, ladiesand gentlemen, is here with us
in the studio.
Why?
Because we know that God istouched with a feeling, my
affirmative.
(24:01):
So today we taught you theprayer of faith, the prayer of
faith, faith that makes prayerwork.
Just simple, childlike faithCan move great mountains if you
have faith of the greater, much,of seeing, see into this
mountain, be cast into the sea.
(24:22):
Have you ever wondered why hespoke that in the word of God?
If you have faith as a grain ofmessage of sea, little, small
sea, but yet the dynamics ofthat sea grows and becomes a
phenomenon of faith.
That little sea inside of you,once you give attention to it,
(24:45):
once you feed it with the wordof God, faith comes of such
great measure that what seemedto be impossible or used to be
impossible no longer isimpossible.
Why?
Because you're uniting faith inyour waltz with God.
Faith that doesn't analyze thesituation, but faith says you
know what?
Yes, it may look like this andI don't deny it, but I do not
(25:09):
accept it.
Faith says I don't have toaccept the report of the land.
Faith says I don't have toaccept negative words, I don't
have to accept negative advice.
Faith says I believe the wordof God.
Faith said no matter what Iweather in my Christian waltz
with God, faith says when I pray, it works.
(25:31):
It'll make prayer work on yourbehalf and my behalf every
single time.
So I want you to know why.
He said you can have faith as agrain of message of sea.
Say this amount the sea is theonly mass body of word that can
cover a mountain where you nolonger can see it.
So today, god has taken themountains of your problems, the
(25:53):
valleys of your trouble, lettingyou see, put on the whole armor
of God.
Scrab your shoulder, lace yourboobs and don't be intimidated
by the enemy, don't beintimidated by what you see,
what you hear.
Stand flat footed on the word ofGod.
It is your anchor today, ladiesand gentlemen, and I'm here to
(26:16):
remind you that today faith iscoming alive in you and in me,
and I know that God's very bestintention for you is going to
come to pass.
He said I desire for you toprosper, be at peace.
Behold why, beloved, I wishabove all things that I will
prosper, be in health, even asyour soul prosper.
(26:38):
So that's God's guarantee foryou to prosper.
Don't be afraid of the enemy,don't be afraid of the battle
that rages, don't be afraid ofthe valleys that we often have
to kneel into.
Remember this small decisionsmake your destiny and the prayer
of faith will move mountains.
(26:58):
You don't have to be afraid ofyour Goliath.
Today you can confront them,run right towards it, like David
did, face to face head on toevery challenge and watch God
birth greatness inside of you,because God's hands begin to
shape the course of your life,because he make it blessing to
add it rich and add it newsorrow.
(27:20):
So today, ladies and gentlemen,I want you to know small
decisions make your destiny andthe prayer of faith makes prayer
work.
Don't complicate faith, justspeak the word of God.
You say I've done that.
Well, don't stop doing it.
Don't stop until it comes topass.
(27:42):
Don't stop believing until itmanifests.

Today, I want to teach you thedynamics of faith, the different
types of prayer.
Also, too, I want to encourageyou to download a free app,
(00:24):
absolutely free.
You can go to your Apple storesor androids, however you want
to, and just download a free app, because I believe that's going
to encourage you.
24-7 materials is there for youto learn the knowledge of God.
You know, the Bible says inHosea 4 and 6, my people are
destroyed for the lack ofknowledge.
(00:45):
So we want to obtain knowledge,wisdom, from God.
So today we're going to learnin Ephesians, chapter 6, verse
13, how to stand firmly on theword of God.
Now, in Ephesians, chapter 6,we're for take unto you the
whole armor of God that you maybe able to withstand in the evil
(01:06):
day and have it done all tostand.
Let me say that again we're fortake unto you the whole armor
of God that you may be able towithstand in the evil day and,
having done all to stand, standthere for verse 14, having your
learns, your learns, gird aboutwith truth and pray in and
(01:30):
having on the breastplate ofrighteousness and your feet shot
with the preparation of gospelpeace.
Above all, taking the shield offaith wherewith you shall be
able to quench all the fairydarts of the wicked, and take
the helmet of salvation and thesword of the spirit, which is
the word of God.
Now, verse 18, praying alwayswith all prayers, supplications
(01:55):
in the spirit, watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints,praying always with all prayers.
So let's talk about thedifferent types of prayers.
Well, here, I have my noteshere, so I'm going to share it
with you.
Ephesians, chapter 16, chaptersays verse 13 talks about
(02:16):
staying firmly.
The writer and the apostle Paulhere speaking to the efficacy
believers Now, when you standfirmly on the word of God, that
means you have a solidfoundation, your anchor in God,
and when you're anchoring God,no matter what the enemy try to
dish out against you, ladies andgentlemen, the beauty of it is
(02:39):
you are already victorious.
Now, all manner of prayer.
Let's talk about them.
You have the prayer of faith.
Faith makes prayer worse.
Listen, you have the prayer offaith.
The prayer of faith is yourconfession that I believe God is
the.
It sounds elementary, I know,but see, when you step out into
(03:02):
the rims and the depths of faith, sometimes we can complicate
faith.
When, in fact, faith is like abanished force, it attracts the
miracles to you and not awayfrom you.
So we just got through readingthe book of Ephesians, chapter
six.
He talked about put on thewhole armor of God.
Why it's compared to the Romanstyle soldiers when they went
(03:24):
into battles and wars.
It's a type of game that theyhad.
So the apostle Paul lists usall the types of armor and
weapons that are not corner butthey're mighty through the
pulling down the strongholds.
Why?
Because there are differenttypes of prayers.
You have repetitious prayer.
That's simply saying that youjust you pray repetitiously the
(03:47):
same thing over and over andover and over, but the prayer of
faith is when you speak it.
You got to remember this.
He said I'll steam my wordabove my name.
So therefore, ladies andgentlemen, if he has steamed his
word above his name, think howmuch more influential, how
powerful it is.
You miss the name with the word.
(04:08):
Now you have a place of prayer.
Well, prayer is your dialoguewith God.
It's your communication channelbetween heaven and you.
Well, the apostle Paul talksabout the prayer of faith.
Sit with me.
Prayer of faith, faith makesprayer work.
Faith.
Does you know, when we pray wedon't pray a miss, we don't pray
(04:32):
just for anything.
We pray to have the will of God, to know the mind of Christ and
to know his purpose in ourlives.
And many times we get sofrustrated with praying because
it's seen, with all that praying, but I don't see the results.
I'm praying but I don't seenothing manifesting in my life.
(04:56):
So I want to encourage you tocontinue in the rim of prayer.
Why?
Because when you put on thewhole of God, the Bible says
stand, stand firmly on the wordof God.
What did that mean?
No matter how you test it, nomatter how many times you've
been trying, stand on the wordof God, because when you stand
(05:17):
on his word, it's alreadyforever settled.
You know we're like a treeplanted by the waters which
shall not be moved.
Why?
Because we know in whom webelieve and whom we trust.
And our trust is not in our ownresources and our own ability,
our own ingenuity.
It's in the fact that his wordis forever settled.
(05:38):
So if God's word is foreversettled, that means you today,
today stand firmly on the wordof God.
But you say life challengeshave hit me in every direction,
obstacles on every hand.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, weall go through the triumph
periods in our lives, but theword of God is your guarantee,
(06:00):
roadmap to absolute victory.
It's God's guarantee absolutevictory in your life.
You're not going to succumb tofear.
You're not going to succumb todoubt and disbelief.
We're going to stand, believeGod's word.
Listen the prayer of faith.
(06:20):
Faith makes prayer work.
So what am I really saying?
Faith made prayer work.
In other words, I believe thatwhen I pray, heaven's already
heard me.
I believe, when I'm donepraying, I don't have to see it
immediately, I don't have tofeel it immediately.
I just have a knowing, by faithin the Word of God, that
(06:45):
whatsoever I ask of the Fatherin Jesus' name, it has to be
established and done.
Because he said I look over myword to hasten it, to perform it
, to bring it to pass.
I'm not a man that shall lie tome.
The Son man shall repent.
Have I said it and shall I notdo it?
Wow, that is so powerful.
(07:06):
We need to know that the prayerof faith works.
You have to apply differentforms of prayer.
Faith needs correspondence.
James, chapter 5, verse 3, weunderstand that.
James, chapter 5, verse 3through 15.
Listen, faith needscorrespondence on your behalf.
(07:27):
In other words, faith withoutworks is dead.
So you've got to realize this,ladies and gentlemen, when you
move into the rims of faith,don't complicate faith because
of what you're going through orwhat the Emmy dish is out
against you.
Stand flat foot it on the Wordof God and trust Him.
He's to anchor the holes, inspite of the storms of life and
(07:51):
the winds that often howl in ourlives.
You know, the winds ofopposition often come in every
direction, but God is faithfuland he is a just God who will
not allow you to go under.
But you're going over for theglory of God.
So faith needs what Corresponds, something you have to do in
(08:13):
order for faith to work.
You got to put faith intoprocess.
You put into process by movingtowards everything that God says
, for example, whatever Godpromised.
You remember, this smalldecision makes your destiny.
Small decisions makes yourdestiny.
(08:35):
It's not the huge and the bigdecision that we often make that
we're saying oh my God, what amI going to do.
It's a small decision thatcauses your destiny to come
alive in your life.
Just small decisions, justdoing something small today, a
decision simply based upon whatGod ordained for you, what God
(08:57):
has chosen for you, what Godcalled you to do.
The beauty of following God isunderstanding this.
In the book of Ephesians,talking about put on the whole
armor of God.
Then stand firmly on the wordof God.
Put on that whole armor, thesoul of the word of God, the
shield of faith, therighteousness, the breastplate
(09:19):
of righteousness.
Why the helmin' of salvation?
Why?
Because that's the arm of Godwhen you up against
confrontational spirits, whenyou up against the enemy, when
the enemy had desired to come inand to steal, kill and destroy,
small decisions every singleday leads you to a better
awareness of your purpose andyour destiny.
(09:42):
And when you get to that placeand say, alright, my mind's made
up, my mind's made up, know mywhat challenges in life that may
come or go, my mind is made up.
I believe God's Word, I believeHis promise and I know that
today's going to be the best dayof my life, because I'm
(10:03):
speaking that by faith.
I'm speaking to the atmosphere.
Word by word comes to breedinggrounds of miracles and I
realize that my faith isestablished in the Word of God.
That is my foundation.
Word by word, I build my lifeeach and every day off of the
principles of God.
Because the beauty of this isput on the whole arm of God.
(10:26):
Why?
Because that's an adversary,that's confrontational spirits.
There is adversities on everyhand, but when you face those
adversities, you're not facingin defeat, you're facing in
absolute victory.
So today I want you to put onthe whole arm of God.
Digest the Word of Heaven intoyour belly and over.
(10:48):
Digest this word into yourspirit man.
Digest it into your life andrealize that greater is he
that's in us than he that's inthe world.
Put on the whole arm of God.
Why?
Because the enemy may come incommon like a flood.
The Holy Spirit will raise up astandard against all
adversities.
(11:10):
But you say you don't understandabout amen.
It's ranging.
The furnace has been turned upseveral times hotter.
Well, the Hebrew children hadto go through the furnace of
affliction.
But they came out.
Not one head was stanched, notone burnt upon their flesh.
Their garments were not burntor stained with smoke from the
(11:31):
fire.
Why?
Because the glory of Godprotects us.
And when you minister out ofthat cloud of glory.
You realize that, no matter whatI may have to combat in this
life, I'm a soldier in the armyof God.
So as a soldier in the army ofGod, I realized that the Bible
(11:53):
is not mine, but it belongs toGod.
So therefore, I'm going to makewhat All decision makes your
destiny.
There's all manner of prayer,but the prayer of faith is what
makes prayer work, the prayer offaith, a positive confession.
(12:14):
You know, the Bible says thatlife and death is in the tongue.
So by your words or you justifyit, or by your words, you are
condemned.
So power is where, is in what?
The world of God.
So when you speak life, you'respeaking the will of God.
(12:35):
God said I desire for you tolive a life abundant.
Let us wish, above all things,that thou would prosper me in
health, even as your soulprosper.
Third John, verse 2,.
But love, I wish above allthings that thou would prosper.
So small decision today isgoing to bring you to the
penalty of your destiny.
It's not the huge decision thatwe often have to make for our
(12:57):
business, our ministry or ourjob, or where the case may be.
Small decision leads you toyour destiny, which brings
rewards to you, because Hebrew11 and since, says, though, that
diligently seek God.
He says he is a rewarder ofthem who diligently seek him.
(13:18):
So now, if you're diligentlyseeking him, then he is a
rewarder to everyone that openedtheir hearts and their minds
and spirit.
Get in the word of God, digestthe word of God, take that word
inside of you, word by word.
It builds your faith, man up,it builds faith inside of you,
(13:41):
and faith becomes the anatomyfor all breakthroughs.
Why?
Because faith cannot be seen.
It has to be in the knowing.
Faith is not what you see.
Faith is in the knowing whatyou believe.
So I don't got to see it for meto believe it.
I don't got to feel it to knowthat it's there.
(14:02):
Because the word of God saysI'll never leave you, neither
would I forsake you, lo.
I'll be with you even unto theends of your days.
But, ladies and gentlemen,that's why we have this program
called Initing Faith to Buildyour Faith Up, to ignite faith
inside of you, to believe forthe promises of God.
(14:24):
You know, stand firmly on theword of God.
The Apostle Paul said listen tothe efficacy believer.
He said put on the whole arm ofGod.
Don't, don't just don't put onsome, but put on the whole arm
of God.
Why Untill you the whole arm ofGod that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day andhave done all to stand?
What are you talking about?
(14:45):
What are you talking about thetime where everything is
questioned in your life?
Everything in your life isdepicting fear or doubt.
Then God said cast that spiritof fear aside, because I'm not
giving you a spirit of fear, buta power, a sound mind, the love
of Christ that permeates thehardest heart and the stiffness
(15:08):
of neck.
God desires for you and I that,when we go up against the powers
of darkness, put on the wholearm of God.
Don't ever go into a battlewith the enemy or a
confrontation against the enemywhen you do not have the armor
of God on.
You need the armor, and thatarmor protects you from the
(15:33):
daggers of the enemy, from thedarts of the enemy.
And, my God, I want you to know, just like David, you can
conquer all of your Goliath.
I don't care how tall the jazzmay be standing in your life
right now or how manypossibilities is around you on
every hand.
Just like David, god's gonnaelevate you, he's gonna promote
(15:55):
you and you're gonna take downthe chance in your life.
Why?
Because God has already causedyou to be more than a conqueror.
Why Because the conqueror livesin you and I today.
So I want to ignite faith inyou.
I want you to know today,ladies and gentlemen, that yes,
the battle is raging wolf areais intensifying, but greater is
(16:18):
he that's in us than he that'sin this world.
So, whatever you may confront onthe everyday basis of your life
, walk in daily with God.
Remember that the word of Godis forever settled, and listen
when God's talking about hisword.
Forever settled, he framed theword.
The whole entire world wasframed off of one spoken word.
(16:44):
Now that is so powerful.
One spoken word.
He said let there be and neverrepeated himself.
So when we become word speakersor we advocate the mind of God
into the earth, what we'resaying the thoughts of heaven
speaks louder in the earth.
(17:04):
Why?
Because whatever you bound inheaven, whatever you bound in
earth, is bound in heaven.
Whatever you loosen the earthwill be what Loosen the heavens.
I want you to know that God isfaithful and he's a just God and
you need to realize this, thatnothing is impossible with God.
So we're talking about theprayer of faith, faith that
(17:25):
makes prayer move.
In other words, faith put legson your prayer.
So therefore, it moves in thedirection, in the course that
God has set for you by becauseyou have learned to stand.
You know, when you learn tostand, that means you're
learning to trust God.
Let me say that again when youstand, when you're done all you
know what to do and you standfirmly on the word of God,
(17:48):
you're letting God know.
I am standing on your word andI'm trusting you.
And though I do not see it,although I do not feel it, I do
know your word is alreadyestablished in my heart, in my
spirit.
I meditate day and night.
Therefore, I shall have greatsuccess because I realize that
(18:12):
I'm trusting the word of God.
I'm standing firm.
So when I'm standing, I'm notgonna be wavering between two
opinions, whether or not God isGod.
But Joshua said for me in myhouse we shall serve the Lord.
Well, what is he saying For meand my entire family?
(18:33):
We are devoting our lives,everything about us, our
resources, whatever God blessesus with.
We all have devoted ourselvesto God.
Why?
Because a house united canstand against any
confrontational spirits.
A house united can standagainst the wiles of the enemy.
(18:55):
Only when a house is dividedthat it starts collapsing in the
foundation.
So today, ladies and gentlemen,we want your foundation to be
strong, and the only way it canbe strong is you've got to
meditate day and night in theword of God.
In that you find life andsuccess.
It is a roadmap to your victory.
(19:16):
Small decision I want you tounderstand that today Small
decisions makes your destiny.
Say that again.
Small decisions makes mydestiny.
Why Not the huge decision thatwe make in business or ministry,
or our life or family?
These are small things thatoften we overlook the
(19:40):
significance of one smalldecision, each and every day of
our life, for 365 days out ofthe calendar year.
Every day, one decision cancause you come closer to God or
away from God.
One decision can cause you thento the blessings of God that
make it rich and add no sorrow,or it caused your destiny to be
(20:03):
delayed.
But God is faithful, he is ajust God and he loves you with
ever less than love.
So this broadcast today we'retalking about small decisions
makes your destiny Because youhave to keep the armor of God on
why each and every part of thatarmor is to protect you, is to
(20:26):
help you up, be a better soldier, marching with absolute victory
, because you own the winningside.
And you know I said there's somany times, so many months, I
Read the devil's obituary heloses.
You are on the winning side,just like King David, who folk
(20:46):
alive.
You know the battle was ragingin the middle of the valley and
it seemed like the enemy wastoning the people of God,
humiliating them.
Real acumen them.
But here come David, at theright place, right time in his
life.
Another were at the right placeat the right time and he had
(21:07):
Pacific weapons that he wasskilled in.
So he knew, also to that, thesecret In knowing who God is.
Not in David strength, not inDavid's ability, but God's
ability working through the lifeof David, who fought against
(21:28):
the giant of the Philistines, upagainst all the nation of
Israel, including their king.
Everyone succumbed to fear.
You know, being dismayed by thesigns of that giant.
But Goliath was no match forthe God in David.
(21:48):
Now, is that not powerful?
Remember the recipe that Davidused, psalm 23 and 1 the Lord is
my shepherd, my indication thatDavid pray and had a
relationship with Christ, had arelationship with Jehovah, god.
He's in Psalm 23 1.
The Lord is my.
That were my indication.
(22:09):
I have a relationship with Godbased upon my own faith, my
faith in God, my prayer life,the language of Faith that I
speak unto heaven.
I don't have to see it To knowit, to believe it, because his
word is already forever.
Seven.
Heaven, earth shall pass away,but my word shall never pass
(22:34):
away.
That's the beauty of this.
So David goes on there infight's collide that you know
the story.
Small decisions make yourdestiny.
Wow, that is such a powerfulstatement.
Why big cause?
Often we overlook, weoveranalyze situations around us
in circumstances that we oftenfight or we go through every day
(22:58):
of our lives, whether we ownthe mountain or valley.
There is testing days, there istesting periods, but faith says
no matter how I'm tested, Iknow the outcome.
Faith already sees what youcannot see in a natural eyes, of
what you cannot hear in thenatural ears.
Faith sees your tomorrow.
(23:19):
Faith sees already you got thevictory.
Faith sees already that you'regonna be promoted.
Faith sees already I'm alreadya giant killer, I'm already
taking down the giants.
So face, say, you know what.
It doesn't matter whichdirection the wind may blow, I
know who's on board with me.
I know Jesus.
(23:41):
And today, the Master of theseas, who were the one who walks
on the seas, one who comes totrouble waters in your soul,
that same Christ today, ladiesand gentlemen, is here with us
in the studio.
Why?
Because we know that God istouched with a feeling, my
affirmative.
(24:01):
So today we taught you theprayer of faith, the prayer of
faith, faith that makes prayerwork.
Just simple, childlike faithCan move great mountains if you
have faith of the greater, much,of seeing, see into this
mountain, be cast into the sea.
(24:22):
Have you ever wondered why hespoke that in the word of God?
If you have faith as a grain ofmessage of sea, little, small
sea, but yet the dynamics ofthat sea grows and becomes a
phenomenon of faith.
That little sea inside of you,once you give attention to it,
(24:45):
once you feed it with the wordof God, faith comes of such
great measure that what seemedto be impossible or used to be
impossible no longer isimpossible.
Why?
Because you're uniting faith inyour waltz with God.
Faith that doesn't analyze thesituation, but faith says you
know what?
Yes, it may look like this andI don't deny it, but I do not
(25:09):
accept it.
Faith says I don't have toaccept the report of the land.
Faith says I don't have toaccept negative words, I don't
have to accept negative advice.
Faith says I believe the wordof God.
Faith said no matter what Iweather in my Christian waltz
with God, faith says when I pray, it works.
(25:31):
It'll make prayer work on yourbehalf and my behalf every
single time.
So I want you to know why.
He said you can have faith as agrain of message of sea.
Say this amount the sea is theonly mass body of word that can
cover a mountain where you nolonger can see it.
So today, god has taken themountains of your problems, the
(25:53):
valleys of your trouble, lettingyou see, put on the whole armor
of God.
Scrab your shoulder, lace yourboobs and don't be intimidated
by the enemy, don't beintimidated by what you see,
what you hear.
Stand flat footed on the word ofGod.
It is your anchor today, ladiesand gentlemen, and I'm here to
(26:16):
remind you that today faith iscoming alive in you and in me,
and I know that God's very bestintention for you is going to
come to pass.
He said I desire for you toprosper, be at peace.
Behold why, beloved, I wishabove all things that I will
prosper, be in health, even asyour soul prosper.
(26:38):
So that's God's guarantee foryou to prosper.
Don't be afraid of the enemy,don't be afraid of the battle
that rages, don't be afraid ofthe valleys that we often have
to kneel into.
Remember this small decisionsmake your destiny and the prayer
of faith will move mountains.
(26:58):
You don't have to be afraid ofyour Goliath.
Today you can confront them,run right towards it, like David
did, face to face head on toevery challenge and watch God
birth greatness inside of you,because God's hands begin to
shape the course of your life,because he make it blessing to
add it rich and add it newsorrow.
(27:20):
So today, ladies and gentlemen,I want you to know small
decisions make your destiny andthe prayer of faith makes prayer
work.
Don't complicate faith, justspeak the word of God.
You say I've done that.
Well, don't stop doing it.
Don't stop until it comes topass.
(27:42):
Don't stop believing until itmanifests.
Stand flat foot on the word ofGod.
