Faith of Heaven in 2011-Faith Forward: Faith for Your Future

This message was part 3/3 of the Watch Night introduction to faith series. It was delivered by Pastor/Elder J. Ted Reed of Fresh Anointing Christian Center on 12/31/10

Romans 10:17 (according to Pastor Ted)
Faith comes (is developed, GROWS) by hearing from God...

Life-Producing Faith - Matthew 4

• comes from what God is saying
• says "It has to manifest because I believe it and the ONLY way I believe it is because God said it!"

Desire is the Tree of Life which sustains me.

It is OK to be disappointed.

Faith must be tried by God's purpose. We must learn to look at His purpose for the promises He gives us, not just the promise. God has a purpose in His promises. If he has promised us something, He has a great purpose for bringing that promise to pass.

When we find ourselves in trouble, we ought to see it as a P.I.T. (Prophet in Training)

Read about Joseph in Genesis, and remember it's not about me, but God needs someone He can trust...
