UNDERSTANDING WHAT FAITH IS. Part 25.

Hebrews 10:8-12, 14 (KJV) "Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;....14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified."

25. Until Jesus came it was never said of anyone that he had faith, or was healed by faith, or saved by faith or delivered by faith. It was after Jesus the grace and the word of God came that people began to hear according to the hearing of faith. Only after Jesus the revealed grace and word of God was manifest that the spiritually dead began to hear according to the hearing of faith. The hearing of the ear or the hearing of the mind is not the hearing of faith. Only the hearing of the human spirit or the heart is called the hearing of faith. The hearing of faith is hearing with your spiritual ears. Only a living spirit can speak for a spiritually dead spirit to hear. Jesus was the first living spirit. John 5:24-25 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live." That was why Jesus said of Himself that He is the resurrection and the life.

From Adam to John the Baptist every human spirit was dead. Jesus was the first living spirit to preach the word of God. After the resurrection all believers become living spirits and that is why Christ has sent us also to preach to all dead human spirits because we are the only ones that can speak to their spirit and they will hear. There was no hearing of faith in the old testament because the word of God was preached by dead human spirits. The law was the spiritually dead ministering to the spiritually dead. The high priest was a spiritually dead mediating for the spiritually dead. Only a living person can raise the dead, a dead person cannot raise another dead person. A slave has no power to set a fellow slave free. Only the living can give birth to children. The spiritually dead cannot give birth to living spirits no matter how much power in their word. Hence there was no new birth in the old testament. A believer is greater than the greatest old testament saint because he is a living spirit, a son, he has faith, he has the capacity to give birth spiritually and he can speak in tongues, etc. No matter how spiritual they were in the old testament they could only give birth naturally.

Even though the law was holy and spiritual, the law could not remove sin because it was the dead trying to save the dead. The high priests under the law were dead spirits ministering for dead spirits. A dead spirit cannot minister to a living spirit. Only living spirits can minister to a dead spirit and only a living spirit can minister to a living spirit. God is a living spirit, so the high priests and the priests of the old testament could not minister truly acceptable sacrifices because they were dead spirits. Hence only the sacrifice of Jesus a living Spirit was pleasing to the Father. Jesus said in John 4:23-24 (KJV) "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." In Christ our eternal High Priest who is a living spirit all His prayers, intercession, worship and sacrifices are acceptable. All believers share in the same one living Spirit of Jesus and of God. Faith is now revealed in the new testament because there are living spirits now on earth. God bless you. Mark 2:5; 4:40; 5:34; 9:19; 10:52; John 1:16-17; 3:3-8; 11:25; Romans 8;14-17; 10:4-17; Matthew 11:11; 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Hebrews 10:1-23; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1Corinthians 12:13;

If you need healing the bible says in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area of your body and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

Heaven is real, Hell is real. Jesus is coming very soon. Judgement Day is coming. But you can become a born again child of God today. The bible says If you shalt confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, you shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: Father God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

If you prayed the prayer of Salvation, pls go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you. To Jesus be all the glory.
