Dear Prophetic Diaries Family,
I would like to encourage you all to have great faith.
The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead. As believers, it's essential for us all to have faith that is alive and active.
James 2:17 “ In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
NIV
I want you all to tap into a new kind of faith that evokes divine encounters with the Lord. This sequel will teach you the importance of having faith.
Get ready to unlock a key to the kingdom of God!
Remember: Bible, pen and journal!
Prayer to invite the presence of The Holy Spirit:
Heavenly Father, I thank you so much for your grace, love and mercy. I praise your name Lord as you are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Lord please have mercy upon me for all my sins (ask God for forgiveness go into depth, ask the Lord to have mercy upon the sins of your forefathers and ancestors. Your mother's house and your fathers house). Lord please have mercy upon me for all my sins (be honest with The Lord about your own personal sin) .
2 Corinthians 12:9 He said to me, “My grace is enough for you, because power is made perfect in weakness.” So I’ll gladly spend my time bragging about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power can rest on me. (NIV)
Father, even as I read the content in Prophetic Diaries, may you open my ears, my spirit and my soul to receive this overflow of knowledge. In your words it says my people perish because of lack of knowledge.
Hosea 4:6 "my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge." (NIV)
Heavenly Father I invite the presence of The Holy Spirit to give me wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Holy Spirit have your way, nudge me in my spirit to take heed to the word.
Lord let your will be done over my life.
Lord, I love you and I want to know you more. Show me who you are and how I can draw closer to you.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Faith Definition:
Complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
Faith Definition Biblical:
Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
NIV
Matthew 7:24-27
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
Holy Spirit Insight:
In order for us to have great faith, we must put God's word into practice. The Lord wants us to have a strong foundation in him so that when we go through trials and tribulations, our faith will be unshakeable.
Faith is a tool that is required to ensure that your foundation in the Lord remains firm. Without faith, how can you build a house in the Lord? If you have little faith and try and build a house in the Lord, when problems occur, your foundation is ruined because you don’t have enough faith for your house to remain. The winds that will arise, will be evil forces of darkness that try to overthrow your house in the Lord. Faith is required to remain steadfast in the Lord. A house in the Lord is your tabernacle for God, and the devil will try and destroy your tabernacle by blowing wind against your foundation. Some winds that can arise are storms of confusion, doubt and unbelief. In order to conquer these storms, your tabernacle must be built on a strong foundation of faith.
Matthew 17:20
20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
Holy Spirit Insight:
The Lord tells us to have faith as small as a mustard seed; it's crucial to always have a little bit of faith, as your faith can move mountains.
We, as children of God, need to see that there is power in faith. The Lord informs us that through faith, all things are possible. By maintaining faith throughout any situation, this builds a strong foundation of faith. Therefore, when storms arise, we as God’s children are able to remain confident that the Lord will not leave us or forsake us because we know he will make a way for us. We are then able to rest assured that our faith will move any mountain that is in front of us.
Questions to ask yourself?
Are you double minded?
Do you understand how important it is to have faith?
Is your faith built on a strong foundation in the Lord?
Do you panic during a storm or remember God is in control no matter the circumstance?
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you so much for this day, your grace, love, and mercy. Lord, everything that is hindering my faith, may the blood of Jesus Christ begin to destroy it. Lord, I want my house in you to be built on a solid rock, and I want my faith to be steadfast in you. Lord, each and every mountain that was hindering and obstructing my faith, may it be demolished by the precious blood of Jesus. Lord, every evil wind that was testing my foundation, may the blood of Jesus Christ begin to pass over. Lord, I believe that every storm or hurdle in my life can be overcome through you, and I speak to every situation in my life through the blood of Jesus Christ. I decree and declare that no problem is too hard for you, Lord. I decree and declare that my faith has power, and no one can stand in front of the Lord. Lord, I trust you because I believe that the kingdom of God has come with power and that everything is possible for one who believes. Lord, I believe that you will increase my faith and carry me into a new dimension of faith.
In Jesus Name,
Hebrews 11:5-6
5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he
rewards those who earnestly seek him.
NIV
Holy Spirit Insight:
In order for you to have divine encounters with the Lord, your faith must please God. Enoch was able to please God due to his faith, and as a result, the Lord took him before he could experience death.
Your faith rewards you. In order for us to run the great race of faith, we must have stamina in our faith.
As children of God, we should perceive our faith as a currency. In order to purchase an item from a shop, you need money. Our faith is like money; without it, you can’t inherit the kingdom of God or purchase things in the spirit.
You may ask, "How so"?
Well- you can purchase things in the spirit by believing every prayer is answered. For instance, when you read the word of God and believe that what is written will come to pass in your life, your faith is purchasing God’s word. God's word is sharper than any double edged sword and comes with power. Your faith has the power to destroy every stronghold and strongman. Your faith has the power to set you free from the elemental forces of this world. We should understand that we walk by faith, not by sight, and that we can have supernatural faith because we are God's children. God has already paid the price for us to be free. All we have to do is believe, and we will see it come to pass. No evil force can oppress the faith you have in the Lord if you believe that God can do all things.
Hebrews 12:1-3
12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Holy Spirit Insight:
In order for us all to run the great race of faith, we must fix our eyes on Jesus, pick up our cross, and follow him. Jesus Christ encouraged us children of God to have faith. By picking up your cross and following Jesus’ Christ's example, you slowly die to the things that were limiting your faith. Although at times things may be difficult, it's important to still preserve in faith and keep your eyes on the Lord. As children of God we must also know that joy is set out before us despite what we might endure on our walk with Christ. We must not grow weary or lose heart, as we will reap in due season if we faint not. The Lord said that everything is possible for one who believes. We must believe that we will see the goodness of the Lord!
Mark 9:23
23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”
Questions to ask yourself:
What is limiting your faith in God?
What false belief system do you have?
Do you understand the importance of faith?
Matthew 16:24
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.
NIV
The Lord says that in order to be his disciples, we must deny ourselves. We must proceed with the assurance that the Lord will fulfill his word. We can deny ourselves by renouncing and denouncing negative thoughts that obstruct our belief system. In order for us to maintain this position, we must daily proclaim God's word on our flesh and allow it to cover us. We must also keep in mind that God's word serves as an oath, and we must believe it.
Hebrews 6:17-18
17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath.18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged.
NIV
As God's children, we ought to have unwavering faith and be confident that the Almighty does not tell lies. Everything that is stated in God's word will be fulfilled in our lives. This should encourage us and give us confidence that the faith we carry is not in vain.
Matthew 8:24-26
24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
NIV
Holy Spirit Insight:
When we encounter challenges as God's children, we occasionally fear drowning in our trials and tribulations. However, we frequently overlook the fact that God is always by our side, even when we are going through a difficult time in our lives. Storms may occur while God is guiding us, but God will stop each storm and wind along the way.
As a result, we must never lose faith in God's ability to work things out for our good. Satan will always attack the foundation that is built on God, so we must ensure that our faith is rock-solid. In this scripture, Peter was afraid; however, faith is required during trials and tribulations, and the Lord asked him why he was so afraid with such little faith. If you consistently believe that God will bring you through the storm, your faith will carry you through. Although God may appear to be silent, this does not imply that he is not present with you.
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Lord, I fix my eyes on you, and I ask you to guide me with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Lord, please help me to always have faith in you and not grow weary in you. Lord, please give me the strength to run the great race of faith, as everything is possible for one who believes. Lord, I deny my flesh and the things of this world. Lord, let every word that you've spoken in your word become my flesh in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, although things might be difficult, I still put my trust and hope in you. Lord, by your grace; I pick up my cross and follow you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Lord, I receive every joy that is set out for me in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, please guide me through every storm that may arise. I rebuke every wind from the north, east, south and west. Every demonic entity that was rising against me to cause turbulence on my journey to the destination you have for me, may the blood of Jesus Christ arrest the wind in Jesus mighty name. I sanctify myself in the blood of Jesus Christ and I ask that you go before me Lord.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
Exodus 14:13-14
13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Holy Spirit Insight:
When the Israelites were leaving Egypt, they panicked and didn’t have a lot of faith that God would carry them into the promised land. As children of God, when we face obstacles, we sometimes panic and think God is not with us. We need to stand firm on the word of God and what the Lord has promised us. We need to trust that the Lord will always deliver us all from evil and will stand with us.
Romans 4:9-11
9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness. 10 Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? It was not after, but before! 11 And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them.
NIV
Holy Spirit Insight:
Father Abraham was waiting on a promise from God, and he had great faith in the Lord during this process. Abrham matched his faith with his works and circumcised himself as a sign of the covenant he had with God.
Sometimes as children of God we have to go through circumcision and slowly cut away things that are affecting our faith. Choosing to have faith before God gives you a sign is powerful, as you trust that the Lord will fulfil his promises before it is done. This is what is required of us; we must believe that God has already done it before it's done. We must also perceive the Lord as our great reward; the more faith you have, the closer it will bring you to inheriting the kingdom of God.
Questions to ask yourselves
Do you believe God has done it before it's done?
Do you understand the importance of faith?
Do you perceive the Lord as your great reward?
Be encouraged children of God , remain steadfast in your faith!!!
