HOW TO INCREASE AND RELEASE YOUR FAITH

Luke 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith." v.6. So the Lord said, "If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say.....

Jesus was teaching His disciples here that one way to increase their faith was to release their faith and the way He showed them to do it was to 'say' something!  There's no point in having faith in God if we're not releasing it and Jesus made it so straight forward and simple to do.

We need to 'say' something which agrees with God and His word.

"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so."  It doesn't say 'think so' but we have to declare it by faith, we have to 'say so'.  Let the weak say 'I am strong', let the poor say 'I am rich'.  Can I hear you say 'But I can't do that because I don't feel like it or it's not true in my life so I would be lying.' ?

If God says you are all those things (and so much more) about you, how can you be lying? Has God made a mistake? No! 'God calls things which are not, as though they were' (Romans 4:19) because He sees it already done, already accomplished in your life. Faith calls for things which exist in the spiritual realm to come and manifest in the physical realm.  They do exist but not where we see them with our natural eyes. Jesus has already bought and paid for all our blessings, now our part is to declare those blessings over our own lives and get in agreement with God.

God says the righteous are blessed, that goodness and mercy are following them all the days of their lives, that the favour of God surrounds them like a shield , that nothing shall by any means harm them. Sometimes our own words don't line up with those truths and we're not releasing our faith for them and so they don't show up!

Jesus said we can have what we believe for but we have to start speaking His words of Life over our lives.

Proverbs 18:21 The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.

What words have we been speaking over our lives? Have they been God's words of life? Let's release our faith and declare aloud what God has already said about us and get in agreement wholeheartedly with Him and call those things into our lives that we can't 'see' just yet. It's called faith.

'I am blessed going out and coming in. The healing Jesus bought for me is coursing through my veins bringing life, wholeness and restoration to every part of me. I shall not lack because my God is providing all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. I have a spirit of power and love and I have a sound mind. Everything I set my hand to prospers.'

Friends, all of those statements are what God says about us so we can speak and release them by faith every day over our own lives, with confidence, and see things change for the better, for His glory. ðŸ˜Š
