Faith Vehicle
By Misty and Jim Richey, April 28, 2024
Romans 10:8-11 NKJV
8 ”But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”“
V11 in the TPT
Romans 10:11 TPT
”For the Scriptures encourage us with these words: “Everyone who believes in him will never be disappointed.”“
Romans 4:21 AMPC
“I am”Fully satisfied and assured that God is able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He has promised.“
2 Corinthians 5:17 AMPC
”Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!“
Where’s the proof?
Romans 8:10-11 NKJV
10 ”And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.“
Ephesians 4:30 NKJV
”And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.“
Galatians 5:22-24 NKJV
22”But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, gentleness, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 patience , self-control. Against such there is no law.
24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.“
3 John 1:2 TPT
”Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.“
What influences are we inputting in ourselves
Romans 10:17 NKJV
”So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.“
Matthew 12:34 NKJV
For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.“
Romans 10:17 NKJV
”So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.“
Anyone who has more input from mainstream media than they do the Word of God, their discouragement is self inflicted.
Anyone who has more input from
ANYTHING OTHER or OTHER THINGS
than they do the Word of God,
Their Faith Vehicle gauges will reflect those choices!
“ I don’t have time to be in the Word, reading or listening all the time. What I’ve learned is
“I have time for what I want to have time for”
I don’t have time to be in the Word.
2 Corinthians 4:13 AMPC
”Yet we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, I have believed, and therefore have I spoken. We too believe, and therefore we speak, [Ps. 116:10.]“
We SPEAK!
A thought won’t change a thought.
So speaking it out allows us to hear it!
And Faith comes by hearing so as we hear ourselves speaking, Faith comes.
So back to Inputs, Inputs can cause fear and therefore we answer with the Word.
2 Timothy 1:7 TPT
”For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, love, and self-control.“
Then that brings us to Thoughts.
“Not my thoughts”
Romans 1:21 TPT
2 Corinthians 10:5 TPT
”We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.“
Philippians 4:8 Ed is the Bouncer at the door
Philippians 4:8 AMPC
”For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].“
What do you believe? VICTORY founder and minister Kenneth Copeland teaches you how to stop your emotions from controlling you.
The King James Version of 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” As believers, we cannot be moved by what we see or what we feel. We must only be moved by what we believe—The WORD of the living God!
2 Corinthians 5:7 TPT
”for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes.“
2 Corinthians 5:7 AMP
”for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]—“
