He lives and He doesn’t lie there anymore, it’s His resurrection, which delivers the promises of God, it’s His blood that paid the price for our sins. Q1/ Jesus blood paid for our sins. (True or false) Q2/ Jesus resurrection delivered to us the promises of God. (True or false) We are to pass through the land, presenting and speaking about His wonders and those who are brought by the Spirit will be born-again by the Spirit. Q3/ We are just passing through the land. (True or false) As we walk in resurrected power the enemy can’t stop us, because Jesus said, “I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail”. Q4/ Jesus said that I will build my church. (True or false) I’m glad He said that, because man can’t build or mold a living body or a group of people. We only need to present the Word in faith and see it happen, His word has the structure. Our Ministry We are working as tent-makers ministry with no one on the payroll and people shouldn’t think they can arrive and that we could fund them. The people of China mainly support this ministry with some gifts coming from overseas when a need arises. We do not ask for gifts but the Holy Spirit leads people at times. Q5/ The Holy Spirit leads you to give and how much to give. (True or false) Hyper faith is not acceptable here nor should it be accepted anywhere in the mission field or the Kingdom of God, it develops a beggar mentality in the believer. A beggar tells everyone their needs hoping to hit the target and then qualifies it by saying I just believe that God will supply my needs. This is not trusting in God. Q6/ A beggar tell everyone what they need and when someone gives it to them they say it’s trusting faith. (True or false) Psalm 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread. A faith that say that if you do this God will do this for you, does work and it will have an outworking, but the outworking will not have all the blessing that are in store for you in heaven. The danger of this type of faith is that if God wants to bring about another work in a person life they may not see their request meet and become disillusioned. Gods word is true whether you see it or not. Q7/ The laws or dynamics of Gods Kingdom must work. (True or false) Q8/ Should we limit God by not asking Him what to. (True or false) Faith to have the full blessings of God needs to have lines of communication with God. We have a need and we go to God for direction God gives unction to act and when we act on this unction. The fruit that comes out of a God given unction is in every direction of life, not only you but others will be blessed too. Q9/ We should go to the pastor for a word to act upon. (True or false) A mature believer knows they have a need and tells God and no one else who has a direct influence on the outcome, then waits on God (trust in God) for the supply, because he knows he can trust God. Q10/ Waiting on God is a trusting faith. (True or false) Q11/ If God tells us to do something will He perform it in your life. (True or false) Philippians 4:19 it says, “But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (MKJV). A person needs to understand “practicality of faith” and what makes a faithful and mature Christian. Reading the word of God and to be in communion with God and the leading of the Holy Spirit you can take steps and know God will meet your need. Q12/ To seek God for direction is important. (True or false) Q13/ God will supply our greed’s. (True or false) Q14/ Ask your Pastor for a major direction in your life and not the Holy Spirit. (True or false) If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, so make plans with a vision from God and God will bring them to pass. God wants his ambassadors to be a blessing not a reproach. Q15/ Somethings are impossible to our God? (True or false) A perfect example of Practicality of Faith. The Church where I came to the Lord had to have a new roof, which as I remember was going to cost $28,000. My teacher could have preacher about offering and taught the benefits of giving into the house of God or in giving in general, but he didn’t. He stood before the Church and stated the need and said, we are not asking you to give more money, but if you would like to give an interest free loan to the Church and the church will pay you back as the offerings came in. Plus you are also free to give if you desire. This was stated on one Sunday and then left to the people. Not a heavy sell.
Leaders led by The Holy Spirit. Made a plan. Took it to the people. Giving the people freedom and removing expectations. Leader directing people to God. People taking it to God. Need met. All the Church blessed. The total came in over two weeks with no one asking for the money back. I have watched some preaching through the Internet and possible I don’t have the revelation of heavy sell on offerings they do. I am not knocking anyone I just find it uncomfortable listening to this style of preaching that is coming into the Church. I question is this faith or business management. It is very beneficial to give back to God because so many can be blessed. God does bless the giver so we should give. Q16/ It’s good to give. (True or false) If you are seeking God about giving, then you come across a scripture like the one below. Do you think God is speaking to you.? Your answer could be no so keep on looking, but if your answer is yes and this word is quickened to your heart, you need to step out in faith and follow Gods word because Gods word said so. Malachi 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. Q17/ God speaks through His word. (True or false) Q18/ God will give you blessing if you are a blessing to others. (True or false) My wife and I give more than a tithe because we want to. So it’s not feeling uncomfortable from guilt because I know the blessings that come our way from free will giving. It is because in the day of the Lord in a person’s life the person will be willing to give, because they know the spiritual dynamics that are released through it. You are free not to give as you are free not to accept Jesus but not all things are beneficial, but you are as free to do somethings too. The story about the Church roof is only one of many examples that I witnessed while under my teacher in Ballarat. Jesus said I will build My Church, and the Holy Spirit is very capable of putting on the heart that is sensitive to the leading to give. Practicality of faith is, “do it” or “don’t do it”. Don’t be pressured by anyone to give, only allow the Holy to speak to your heart and He will bring to pass a blessing in every directing. Q19/ Should we fight against the leading of the Holy Spirit. (True or false) Broadcasting is not faith
Don’t tell people your needs even if you think God wants you to do something because you will make people uncomfortable. Trust in God for your need (“do it”). If you have a need, God knows, pray and wait (“do it”) but while you wait be about the Fathers business (“do it”). Q20/ A good plan made with God (“do it”) cannot fail and the blessings go in every direction. (True or false) I hope this has brought some light on practicality of faith. Have a need Seek God with your request. Receive a word from God to stand on while waiting. Need met.
