Divine Disclosures: The Gift of Faith• Pathway Church Shorewood • 05/03/2026

Sometimes the gift of faith looks like what we saw in Hebrews 11, where there was enduring suffering with unshakable trust. Acting when out the outcome is still unknown and obeying when it costs everything. That's faith. Not all faith moves mountains. Some faith requires us to climb them. While we're on that verse, I do wanna address it. Matthew seventeen twenty, just to paraphrase here, is Jesus is saying to his disciples that if we have faith, then the mountains will move. Faith is much as a mustard seed will move mountains, and that nothing will be impossible for you. [00:33:43] (45 seconds)  #FaithThatClimbs

Demons are weak. Do you know that demons are weak? Jesus landed on the beach and there was this man who was possessed. And when the demon said his name, it says his name is Legion. Basically, there's not just one of me. There's about 5,000 demons in me. But prior prior to them discovering that that's this man had 5,000 demons, it says that the man saw Jesus and ran to Jesus. 5,000 demons can't stop a man who's not even a believer yet from running to Jesus. I don't know what you're struggling with, but don't let it be stronger than 5,000 demons, because it can't stop you from reaching him and being set. He was set free, and Jesus cast them out, and the man was free. [00:44:30] (61 seconds)  #RunToJesus

Galatians six two says, bear one another's burdens and thereby fulfill the law of Christ. How can you bear someone else's burdens if they haven't told you that they have a burden? I don't know what you're struggling with. How can I bear it? If faith means never acknowledging struggle, then we've made honesty a sin. Come on. Are you listening today? I know this is a church that can talk more. Yeah. Do you have lips? Ever do this? If faith means never acknowledging struggle, then we've made honesty a sin. Denying reality is not faith. That's deception. [00:31:31] (43 seconds)  #HonestFaith

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, but don't mistake this approval as a blank check for all of your hopes to be granted. Amen. Thank you, Charity. Other people are going, wait a second. That's not what I thought. I thought if I just had enough faith, then I could have whatever I believed in, if I just hoped enough. And it says, it'll be approved. But you know that's not what this is talking about? So I'm gonna say it again just to see if it's gonna sink in a bit more, and then I'll explain it. Don't mistake the approval [00:09:36] (35 seconds)  #FaithNotBlankCheck
