Greetings to you in Jesus' name,
Last year i began to post an article based on this scripture, & never quite got to fufill that desire. So promised i would in a later post!...and here it is.
In Galations 3:5 we read "He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?" Notice it said that He(God) hears your faith! & because of this, He(GOD) was able to minister through you & work(do)miracles. (Revised)
There are so many Faith messages out there today, that sometimes it can be overwhelming and often times dis heartning if you are trying to apply faith in any area of your life to remove mountains? or praying for a sick family member or friend. For some christians, just being able to talk about Jesus amongst Non Belivers requires a whole lot of faith.
Through this scripture, the Holy Spirit downloaded in my spirit a revelation of how Gal 3:5 applied to the Father of all Nations Abraham.
We all know the story of how Abraham was promised by God that he(Abraham) would become the father of many nations etc etc. (I believe God was prophecticaly speaking over Abraham or as scripture say's "declaring things that be not as though they were")This i believe took place over 2 important stages where Faith needed to be excersised in God's promise.
Abraham believed God and what God spoke from that very moment which resulted with the birth of Issac. Sarah with a liitle encouragment belived God to bare another child at old age, in order for God to bless Abrahan to be a blessing to all nations. Issacs birth i believe was only the 1st stage of God's plan because God now needed Abraham to really put his belief or Faith to the test in order for stage 2 . Why? Because i believe that if God did not ask Abraham to Kill his own son, then the Promise or Prophecy would not come to pass. So what was the test or was it a test?
Remember God works miracles not by the law even though Abraham was living under the law, but by the hearing of your Faith. Alot of people rightly quote the scripture of Abraham declaring to his son that God would provide a sacrifice on the mountain.
However, i believe from God's perspective he(God) knew Abraham would do anthing that He(God) would command all along, and because Abraham belived God from the very begining when the promise (Prophecy ) was spoken by God. He needed Abraham to declare or speak out his faith in order for God to HEAR. God could SEE (Works) Abrahams faith!, but now needed to HEAR!
Let me show you...Genesis 22:4-5 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide you here with the donkey; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, AND COME AGAIN TO YOU.
Abraham as i have already written, believed God from the begining. Nothing was going to convince him otherewise. He openly declared his faith & God heard him before he even stepped onto the mountain.
Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son.
In this scripture, it clearly defines a time line that Abraham had already recieved the promises,(He Believed) then procedded to offer up his Son....What does this all mean?
Simple, God Hear's faith. Faith is an unmovable, unshakeable with out a doubt, deep rooted belief that what ever God said he will do. He(God) will do it. We are to be like Abraham, and allow God's word to enter into our Hearts not Head so that it can grow roots and estabilish itself through meditation or pondering.
If you are believing for something, ask God to give you a scripture so that you can meditate & believe it just as he did with Abraham. Then when ever you are faced with opposition of any kind in what you are believing God to do. Then thats when you speak out aloud your scripture that God gave and because God SEE'S & HEAR'S your faith, your miracle will come to pass.
Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
