Faith plus Works equals Answer
Theme: John 5:30
(1) CREATION:
Whatever God said in Genesis chapter one , came into existence . God was showing us, faith plus works equals answer , in the very beginning of God’s word , we call the bible (King James Bible) . Heb.11:3--- “Through faith we understand that the world’s were framed by the word of God , so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear”. Col.3:17
Here’s how it works . Gen.1:3--- “And God said , Let there be light : and there was light”. God showed us His works , when He SAID “Let there be light”. He showed us the answer , being light . You say , I see God’s works and His answer , but where was God’s faith? God’s faith was in His Son , Jesus Christ , just as our faith should be . God willed for there to be light . His Son , Jesus Christ , does the works , that God wills to be done ,and by the power of the Holy Ghost . That’s when the answer appears . Ok , that’s the same way it works for us .We ask God the Father what we want . At the same time , we have our faith in Jesus Christ , knowing that God will give to us , what we ask for . Many preacher’s think ,because there are three entities (they call that three person’s , and that is wrong), that make one God (triune Godhead) , that part is true , and that each one of the triune Godhead , do not have different functions of their own , and that is wrong .
God (the triune Godhead) has all power , and He is All Powerful , so there is His faith in Himself . We , on the other hand , are NOT all powerful , and receive ALL our power from God (the Holy Ghost) , if we are true born again christian’s . So therefore , for us to receive anything from God , we ask God the Father , having our faith in Jesus Christ , God’s Son , and we will receive our answer , by the power of the Holy Ghost . Remember,all through this set of papers, you will learn , it takes all three of the triune Godhead (not just one) for us to receive answers (power) , from God . Gen .1:26(A)--- “And God said , Let us make man in our image , after our likeness”. God the Father (the head , or the soul) the Supreme entity , Jesus Christ (the Son of God , or the body of God) , God’s person , and the Holy Ghost (the Spirit of God) an entity . So the triune Godhead has two entity’s and one person . Not three person’s or two what’s and one who . That is disrespectful to the triune Godhead .
We , human being’s , having been created in the triune Godhead’s image means , we have a body with five senses : see , feel , hear , smell , and taste . That makes up our physical body . We also have a spirit and a soul (without the five senses) that are each , an entity . So therefore , like the triune Godhead , we have one person and two entity’s . Parable : A piece of paper is on the floor . How do you pick it up? Your soul will’s (tells) you (your human body ) to pick up the piece of paper . You pick up the piece of paper , by the power of your spirit (human) , as that is your source of power . The human spirit is the weakest of all the spirit’s . If that paper weighted several hundred pounds , you would need additional power . You would either use Satan and or , his devil’s power , or the triune Godhead , and or , His angel’s (heavenly host) . Just because you claim to be a christian , that does not mean you are not using Satan and or, his devil’s power.
God the Father works through His Son , Jesus Christ (being our ONLY mediator to God), and by the power of the Holy Ghost , to accomplish anything . Therefore , anything we ask of God the Father ,by our faith in Jesus Christ , is done by God the Father’s Power , the Holy Ghost. When you ask the Holy Ghost , or just Jesus , it will not be done , because you are eliminating God the Father . If you need more clarification , let me know .
(2) BUILD CHURCH:
Jesus Christ asked His disciple’s in Matt .16:13 , “Whom do men say that I the (S)on of man am”? They told Him in verse 14 , men say Jesus was one of several different prophet’s.Verse 15 , Jesus asked , the disciple’s , who do they say He was? In verse 16 , Peter tells Jesus “Thou art the Christ , the Son of the living God”. In verse 17 , Jesus tells Peter , he was right , but if it were not revealed to him by God the Father , Peter would not have known . How did God the Father reveal that to Peter? Just as He reveals things to us born again christian’s . By way of the Holy Ghost , as being our teacher. Through our thoughts . I Cor .2:13--- “Which things also we speak , not in the words which man’s wisdom teach ’eth , but which the Holy Ghost teach ’eth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual”. That’s the way the Lord shows me , and through His word, as I write these sets of paper’s .
I will show you a few things about Matt .16:18 . Jesus is conversing with Peter (not with the pope of the Catholic church), and telling Peter (as Peter was the only one talking to Jesus since verse 16) , “upon this rock” (meaning Jesus , as All through the bible , Jesus Christ is referred to as the rock or corner stone , even with Moses), Jesus will build His church , and not even the gates of hell will destroy Jesus church . When Jesus said to Peter “That thou art Peter”, Jesus was addressing Peter . The same as , say , I am talking to someone , whose name is John . I would say “John , I am going to build a house . I am showing my Catholic friend’s , that Jesus is NOT calling Peter “the rock”, and God’s word does not say , the Catholic pope took Peter’s place when Peter died . That is nonsense , the Catholic church is teaching , along with many more main issues . Jesus Christ is telling Peter that He (Jesus) will build His church upon Himself (Jesus being the rock) .
Parable of triune Godhead:
I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH
JESUS FAITH & WORKS = JESUS ANSWER
FAITH & SAID = IT WAS SO
JESUS CHRIST & GOD = THE HOLY GHOST
(3) ATONEMENT:
Jesus Christ , at one point in time while on the cross , felt all alone . FAITH (Jesus Christ) and NO WORKS (God the Father) . Matt .27:46--- “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice , saying , Eli , Eli , la-ma sa- bachtha-ni? That is to say ,My God , my God , why hast thou forsaken me? Now verse 50 tells us , Jesus got through to the Father , when He cried out loud again (having more faith). This next verse tells us , what happened when enough faith and works came together . Matt .27:50--- “Jesus , when he had cried again with a loud voice , yielded up the Ghost”. Now , verses 51-53 tell us the results that happened , when Jesus Christ faith plus God the Father’s works came together . The Holy Ghost was then able to perform . Matt .27:51-53--- “And , behold , the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake , and the rocks rent”; (52)--- “And the graves were opened ; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose”, (53)--- “And came out of the graves after his resurrection , and went into the holy city , and appeared unto many”. Jesus Christ had cried again (according to verse 50) , then the answer came (yielded up the Ghost). Jesus Christ was showing us three things (lessons) here . (1) Faith (Jesus Christ) without works (God the Father) , is dead and equals no power (the Holy Ghost) . (2) Without the whole (triune Godhead) , nothing can manifest . And (3) sometimes we need more faith in Jesus Christ to bring about God’s power (the Holy Ghost) , answer .
(4) SALVATION :
First , we need to be born again (not saved) , as being saved is the final stage in the christian’s life . I n this next verse , notice Jesus uses the words “born again” and not the word saved . John 3:3--- “Jesus answered and said unto him , Verily , verily , I say unto thee , Except a man be born again , he cannot see the kingdom of God”. So , being born again , is the answer to an act of works (confession with the mouth out loud) , and faith (believing) as Rom . 10:9&10 , tells us . Second , we need to endure to the end , by keeping our faith in Jesus Christ, and never loosing faith in Jesus Christ . My Baptist friend’s need to study , and NOT just gloss over these next two verses . Matt .10:22--- “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved”. Endureth to the end means , to continue your faith in Jesus Christ and do God’s commands (works) to the end of life . Then , and only then , comes your answer : “shall be saved”. I Cor. 15:2--- “By which also ye are saved , if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you , unless ye have believed in VAIN”. Ok , the key word here is , a little biddy word . The word is , if . This verse needs no interpretation . And third , then we are saved , from what? Hell . Saved being our answer , to our faith and works .
(5) FORGIVENESS :
Many preacher’s teach ,when a person is “saved”(the term is called “born again”) right then , all that person’s sins are forgiven . My Baptist friend’s will go one step further on that heresy , and teach all your future sins are forgiven , when someone is saved . The NIV takes James 5:16 out of context , by replacing the word faults , with the word sins . Both of the words , faults and sins , have different meanings . That’s one of many reasons , why the NIV is just another religious book , and surely NOT God’s word.. God’s word teaches the total opposite . We are to ask other’s to forgive us, for committing faults (wrong doing) to that person . Even the Pharisees, in Luke 5:21 , knew that ONLY God can forgive sins . We are to ask God the Father , through Jesus Christ , to forgive our sins . After all , when we sin , we sin against God , and NOT man . We do as I John 1:9-10 tells us , by praying the prayer of faith . We ask Jesus Christ to forgive us for the sins we have committed . That is called an act of works . Believing Jesus Christ has forgiven us , is our faith . And knowing Jesus Christ has forgiven us right then , is our answer .
(6) HEALING:
Faith AND works are the most important spiritual warfare weapons in receiving our answers , even in the case of healing , in that we consider our miracle . How does that work? James 5:13-15--- “Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray . Is any merry? Let him sing psalms”. (14)--- “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church ; and let them pray over him , anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord”: (15)--- “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick , and the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have committed sins , they shall be forgiven him”. Basicly , the sick are to be anointed with oil , and pray the prayer of faith . The oil is only symbolic of the power of the Holy Ghost .By praying the prayer of faith , does not mean you are to spend a lot of time , asking , begging , or pleading for God to heal the person . The prayer of faith is a powerful prayer . It depends on how much faith you are giving to God , through Jesus Christ , to how much power God sends , by way of the Holy Ghost .
Matt .17:16-17--- “And I brought him to thy disciple’s , and they could not cure him”. (17)--- “Then Jesus answered and said , O faithless and perverse generation , how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me”. Matt .15:28--- “Then Jesus answered and said unto her ,O woman , GREAT is thy faith : be it unto thee even as thou wilt . And her daughter was made whole from that very hour”. Do you see what the difference is between faithless (no faith) , and great faith? Means the difference between being healed , and not being healed . Of course , there are other circumstances that are a big factor in some people being healed . For more information on healing , see my set of papers “How to receive healing (A) & (B)”. Ok , by praying the prayer of faith , whether for healing ,asking God to forgive you of sins you have committed , to be born again ,etc., praying is your works . By believing , that is your faith . Then your answer is on the way .
Prayer Of FAITH
WORKS + FAITH = ANSWER
(7) THE POWER OF SPIRITUAL WARFARE WEAPONS:
Spiritual warfare weapons are not “tools”. You are not planting a garden , nor are you repairing automobiles . You are supposed to be fighting a spiritual war against Satan and his devil’s . Tools fix things . Weapons are for self defense and destroying . Talk , such as : tools , positive , negative , self esteem , focus , etc. , are only preparing people to participate in a one world religion ,that is evidently nearer than we thought .One world religion(interdenominational) means all denominational doctrines (all religions,Christianity not being a religion) serving Satan and his devil’s , such as: Catholic , Islam , Jehovah Witness , Morman , and other’s , can feel free to congregate under the same roof , worshipping any god they choose. On the other hand , Christianity (christian’s---follower’s of Christ) has ONLY one God ,and NO other god . Ex .20:3--- “Thou shalt have no other god’s before me”. That God is the triune Godhead (God the Father , God the Son ,& God the Holy Ghost,-all three are one God). This next verse gives us confirmation . I John 5:7--- “For there are three that bear record in heaven ,the Father , the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one”.
Here is a list of the main spiritual warfare weapons: Breaking curses , commanding devil’s out , rebuking Satan , using oil , the blood that Jesus Christ shed on Calvary , and rendering things ineffective for any kind of demonic use . No matter what spiritual warfare weapons you use , faith in Jesus Christ , and works , will determine your outcome , how VICTORIOUS OVER Satan and his devil’s , you are . Your answers are always do to your faith in Jesus Christ , and your works (God’s command’s) , putting your FAITH in ACTION , by your WORKS .
(8) CAUGHT UP ---(THE RAPTURE) :
When Jesus Christ comes for His bride , the church , that will be the christian’s last time on this earth ,to experience the triune Godhead’s great POWER through FAITH and His WORKS.God working through Jesus Christ , by God’s POWER , the Holy Ghost . The Holy Ghost will RAISE those christian’s who are dead , and CATCH UP the christian’s who are still living at that time . At that same time , the Holy Ghost will give all those christian’s complete renewed bodies (same bodies , but new) , all in the twinkling of an eye , as Jesus Christ descends (comes down) from heaven , and ascends (goes up) back to heaven with His bride (us christian’s) .
Read I Thess . 4:16-17 for confirmation on that . The Holy Ghost will make our bodies that we have now , new and glorified . Otherwise it would be called “ reincarnation”. All words that are in orange , in this paragraph ,are WORKS the Holy Ghost will be displaying , all at one time (in the twinkling of our eyes) , and for ALL CHRISTIAN’S to see . THAT HAS TO BE, THE MOST POWERFUL GOD, IN THE WORLD , AMEN ? Mainly , I have been teaching you , of the importance of FAITH and WORKS equals ANSWER . Also how JESUS CHRIST , GOD THE FATHER , and the HOLY GHOST , as all three are ONE GOD , participating and teaching us all through God’s word , these major TRUTHS and POWER .
