Faith in God is paradoxical. You need faith to believe and when it comes to pass, you won't believe it!
Matthew 21:18-22
God has called me to be a barren-fig-tree terminator!
Why?
Because he expects me to terminate ALL that tries to block me from Him!
As stated before, barren fig trees represent hopelessness - no harvest to look forward to.
You cannot get hope from a hopeless situation; that situation needs to DIE!!!
Hopelessness has to die before faith materializes because faith is the substance of things HOPED for!
No hope = No basis for faith
Find the "barren fig trees" in your life. Barren trees speak negative messages. You cancel these by finding out what God says about your situation in His Word.
The Captivation of Faith
Hope - to expect, look forward to
- Not a wish
- not "I think..."
Hope says "It's coming!"
Even if you don't have all the faith you want, God won't let you drown.
A little faith will get you back to your destination.
The Procurement of Faith
Have, hold in hand, take possession of, seize
You have to take possession of faith. That's why it must have substance (foundation, firm trust, assurance).
Faith is the "title deed" that says I am His property.
My problem is I am not exercising my right in the title deed. I am co-owner with God and no one has the right to evict me from my blessings.
Commitment of Faith
Firm Assurance In Trusting Him - I am convinced and convicted by the Truth that what God says, He means.
Investment of Faith
Cannot have faith for something until you have faith in something. What you put your faith in determines the harvest.
Trusting in people (and not in God) not only limits your harvest, but also brings on a curse.
Psalm 28:7 - The Lord is my strength and (impenetrable) shield. He takes the blows for me. My heart trusts in (relies in, and confidently leans on) Him, and I am helped.
