III. When you’re living the lifestyle of love and faith you
are activating spiritual forces that will do the work to bring the Word to pass
in your life.If I’m resting in love and
faith, who’s working to bring this to pass?

Word of God is the power and it’s capable of doing anything that God is capable
of doing (Romans 1:16)

is your servant and it will do the work

action,

(homologia) – To same the same thing that he has already said

pass when they come out of our mouths

IV. How is that going to happen
A. This
is going to happen because you live a lifestyle of love and faith and enter
into rest, free from torment and fear.When
you’re fearing not and believing only the Word that produces nothing missing,
nothing broken will goes to work, faith that is the victory that overcomes the
world goes to work, the blessing that makes you rich goes to work, the angels
that excel in strength go to work, Jesus who is the High Priest of your
confession goes to work, and all of those forces are working to manifest what
you need in the physical realm as long as you’re fearing not and believing
only.It’s when you get out of love and
out of faith that you pull the plug on the whole operation.
