Time to Rise in Faith!
One of the themes of this feast is: it’s time to rise! Bill Winston, in the afternoon video teachings we have been viewing, is adding another element: it’s time to rise in faith! It’s time to walk in the supernatural, realizing it is the supernatural God doing the miracles, not us. Matthew 19:26 says all things are possible with God. We need to lay down the limitations we have put on God. We have allowed the world around us to condition us to accepted plan B’s that are not God’s plan A. We give excuses for God before we begin. We are planning to fail, not succeed. We need to walk in faith, not be sight.
We all have the seeds of greatness in us. We don’t allow that seed to grow, however, when we surround it with negative thoughts and words. This is the feast to get rid of falseness, including false thoughts and words that do not line up with God’s thoughts and words, thoughts that are higher than our earthly thoughts. God has given us, however, His thoughts. We have the mind of Jesus Christ (Phil. 2:5).
God says He will do a quick work in the end time on this earth. He does not need much time to do His miracles. David told the giant that “this day” he would be food for the birds. God can do things in a day or even in a second. He is only limited by our expectations of Him. It’s time we expected great things of our God.
One striking example Pastor Winston gave involved a man who was instructed to go on a divinely appointed, ministry voyage to India. He was directed to pack his bags and go to the airport. At some point while there God told him to take his bags and go to the restroom. When he came out he was in the airport in India! God translated him to India. He obeyed every command of God, and God blessed him for it.
As we obey God as symbolized by the “unleavened bread of sincerity and truth,” we can ask anything according to God’s will and receive it. It’s time we asked in faith and expected miracles. They will come!

Re: Rise in Faith!
Do we need more faith when everyone just goes after fear?

Re: Rise in Faith!
Sammy,
Yes, we need to be immersed in God's love that casts out the fear of these last days and enable us to walk boldly in faith.

Re: Rise in Faith!
Sammy, faith is important but we need love to caste out fear. The trouble is that people do not have their identity set in Jesus, therefore they do not know what type of authority that they do have.

Re: Rise in Faith!
I do not think that people can walk in anything but fear, because they have been taught to disregard the word of God therefore they cannot set faith into their heart.

Re: Rise in Faith!
Howard,
What people should and will do are two different things. You are probably correct in your assessment of the average Christian.

Re: Rise in Faith!
I think that Howard is particially right. I think that they confuse grace and mercy therefore they do not understand righteousness. They think in terms of being lawless.
