*AUDACITY OF FAITH*

🔥 *For by it (FAITH) the elders obtained a good report.*

Hebrews 11:2 KJV

 _There was nothing in the system of this world that wasn’t subject to Jesus. He exercised

dominion over all things. He tamed them by His

words – faith-filled words!_

 _He spoke to maimed limbs, corpses, deaf ears, blind eyes, crippled limbs, demons of darkness, fishes,

trees and they obeyed Him._

 _He tamed the laws of

nature and transcended them. He was never a victim._

 _He walked on water, spoke to the wind and calmed

the storm! When He encountered the leprous and

said, “Be clean!” the leprosy disappeared.

_  He knew who He was! He was never afraid of

anything. Everyone wondered at Him when He

spoke. He didn’t mince words in declaring His

identity. *He said I and my Father are one* (John

10:30); He walked in union with the Father._

 _Just like Jesus, the words we speak are spirit and

they are life (John 6:63). That means our words are

not empty. They’re potent; they have conquering,

overcoming and prevailing power over devils,

adversities and every negative circumstance of life._

This is why it’s so important that we talk like Jesus

by releasing faith-filled words.

 _No wonder John cried;_

 _*“This is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith”*_

1 John 5:4).

 _Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

Our faith has supernatural power to conquer, tame

and subdue the world._

 _Hebrews 11 gives us a

catalogue of faith folks - great men and women who

subdued and tamed their world by faith:_

 *_“And what shall I more say? for

the time would fail me to tell of

Gideon,_* *_and of Barak, and of

Samson,and of Jephthah; of

David also, and Samuel, and of

the prophets: Who_ _THROUGH FAITH SUBDUED KINGDOMS, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the

mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge

of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant

in fight, turned to flight the

armies of the aliens”_*

Hebrews 11:32-34.

 _Paul paints the picture for us of how these men

subdued and conquered their world through faith._

 _Bible history has it that John the beloved apostle,

during the great persecution of the church, was

covered in a cauldron of boiling oil and left to die._

_But by the time all the oil burnt out, they opened

it up and were shocked to see John still alive._ _I believe

he must have pointed in their faces saying,_

*_“Whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world!”_*

_Did you ever read about Samson? He tore a lion

apart with his bare hands._ _David did the same thing._

_How about Daniel? He was thrown into the lion’s

den, and guess what he did? He didn’t think about

killing the lions, rather he tamed them! Then he sat

with them and put his hands upon them._

_I’m showing you how some of the guys from our lineage of faith subdued their world! They

dominated and conquered their world, to the point

the world wasn’t worthy of them anymore_ (Hebrews

11:38).

_By their faith, they completely overcame this physical world to the point they just couldn’t stay

here anymore._ _Men like Enoch, who the Bible says_

*_“…walked with God: and he was not; for God took

him”_*

Genesis 5:24.

_That doesn’t mean God took

his life or that he died, but that he walked by faith

and subdued this world to the extent he was literally

translated out of the world into heaven._ _How? By

faith!_

_You too can do the same, and get listed in faith’s

hall of fame._

*_Hallelujah!_*
