Living a Faith-Fueled Life: Transforming the World

1. "Faith is active. It's a verb. It's moving. It lives. It breathes. It doesn't stop. Faith. Incredible. And we learned that in verses 30 to 31 that it's your life on faith. And when that happens, it's the fact that you and I will face impossible situations in life. You're not gonna escape that, everybody. We're not supposed to escape impossible situations. You and I experience the same hardships and difficulties that unbelievers experience. The difference is, we have a purpose and we have a purpose and that purpose is that as we go through those difficulties, we become more like Christ."

2. "You will never stand alone. You will never stand alone in all of that. In fact, remember verse 32, it says, what more shall we say then for time would fail me to tell of Gideon. And then the author goes through this almost shotgun version of these names that come rolling off of his tongue. His memory goes and these names come flying out. Gideon, amazing. And I encourage you to read the book of Judges. It's pretty short but super powerful. Gideon, an amazing man that God called." [06:19] (31 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


3. "The Bible is the very book that has given women's rights and argument. It's the Bible that says that male and female are the same. It's the Bible that honors women. Did you know that? Don't swallow the woke, garbage that's out there. Oh, you know, Christians, you know. No, no. You don't know. You look at all the great movements that brought liberty and freedom and rights and they're Christian. Christian driven. You think about even in our modern time of Martin Luther King Jr. Does anybody remember that he was a pastor and an activist?" [08:02] (46 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4. "Real faith is to know God's will and to act upon it without wavering. Can I read that again? This is the practical use of faith. When the Bible says who through faith, so this is the practical use of faith. The Bible literally gives man the definition of what real faith is. Real faith is to know God's will, and to act upon it without wavering. You know that this is what God has spoken to you. And by the way, you can be sure of it because the directive that you've been given can be found in the Bible. It's Bible-based. It's not feeling-based."

5. "Faith is not the end. Oh, I have faith. I have so much faith. And you talk about your faith. Don't talk about your faith. Do it. Faith is not to be talked about. Look, I'm pushing up against some things right now about if you have enough faith, you'll never be poor. If you have enough faith, you'll never be sick. If you have enough faith, fill in the blank. What is this? What is this? It's silly. It's nuts. It's putting faith in faith. You don't put faith in faith. Faith is the vehicle that drives you to the mission. Faith is the vehicle that takes you to the cause." [16:23] (41 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


6. "Faith does that. Lord, I need you. God, I need you to move in my life. I'm calling out from here to him, and it's faith that connects me to the very will of God. The response of God is going to come through faith. Many times we have prayed and asked God to move, but we weren't praying in faith, and God didn't move. Or God is saying, that's not my will. Maybe we asked something out of his will. And that's always going to happen in our lives because we're imperfect. But God's desire is for you and I, in all that we do, know this, you're never standing alone, and God will advance you as you seek him through faith."

7. "You don't have some accidents in your life. Look, even when we have an accident, it's not an accident. Well, my car just got hit last week and it was an accident. Was it an accident to God? No. It was an accident to you, but not to God, which makes it not an accident to you. He's involved. He's in all of that. And I just love, I love, watch this. Subdued. So through faith, kingdoms can be subdued. Wow, really? The word subdued, look at this. The word means this. To struggle against. To struggle until conquered. To war on or to fight until. Until."

8. "As believers, you and I are living right now and with all that's going on in the world around us, according to God's word, we can change, we can change kingdoms through faith. My question is, I hope it's not too late, meaning it's not that God can't do it, it's that God gave us the time and the opportunity to seek him and we didn't. Has the window closed? I'm going to let the cat out of the bag right now. But see, this won't affect you guys because you're Wednesday nighters. So in the not too distant future, I'm going to deliberately call, I don't have the date yet, I'm going to deliberately announce in advance, intentionally, this is our secret, that on a certain Sunday, for each of the three services, as Jesus said, my father's house shall be called the house of prayer. On a Sunday morning, we are going to dedicate that service, first and second and then third, all to prayer for our nation and for our country."

9. "You will never stand alone. Look at verse 33. It says this. Who through faith, Mark the word through. It's not by faith. In verse 33, it says, who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, and stopped the mouths of lions. I want you to write this down. Where it says through faith, we're going to study this right now. But just know this. In chapter 11, write it down in your margins 18 times. In chapter 11, it says, who by faith did their great exploits for God. By faith. Okay? This argument in verse 33 is that you and I stand and we do not ever stand alone when we're standing in God's will to live for God's purposes. Never."

10. "Faith is the vehicle that takes you to the cause. It takes you to the answer. It takes you to the battle. It takes you to the issue. The Bible says, you know this, Hebrews 11 verse 1 says, now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith. Remarkable. Another quote. To use faith biblically is to take your, or to, yeah, to take your existence, issue, reliance, and dependence in any given situation, for example, life itself, and placing your existence, your issue, your reliance, your dependence in the hands of God."
