Q

Foundational Scripture Mathew 6:25-34

A

25”Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Q

This type of Faith says that “Its already Done “ What type of faith is that and What scripture/s or example does it correlate to?

A

• Perfect Faith: (James 2:20-22) James is saying that faith without subsequent action is useless faith. Even Peter, with little faith walked on water. James is telling us that faith is made perfect by how we respond to it (works). Perfect faith is when the believer concludes that not only, “God can”, “God will”, but “God has”. And because He has, our actions reflect the confidence that the promise has already come to pass. This faith says, “It’s already done!” Examples: Abraham (Romans 4:19-21), Noah, (Hebrews 11:7)

Q

The Gift of Faith

A
  1. The Gift of Faith – (1Corinthians 12 :7-11) Is a special impartation of faith upon the believer for the common good of others. Since faith is necessary for manifestation, and our unbelief hinders the working of God in our lives, God then, will give us a gift of faith to believe beyond our current level of faith.

This goes hand in hand with the baptism into the cloud. How will you know the move of God if there is no leader? Israel had Moses, we have our sent men and women of God, our pastors.
