hillsong conference - 8 jul 09 - UNSHAKABLE FAITH session

ROBERT FERGUSSON:

heb 12, pro 24:10, 25:19

john 16:33, God said:

1. "you will have trouble..."
   
   • face the facts. romans 4:18
   • persevere in your faith. the testing of faith develops perseverance.
   • overflow with comforts.
     the only thing that gives you faith is from what God says. He is the God of all comforts. He comforts us in trouble so we can comfort others.
     
2. "I am Your refuge..."
   
   • pro 18:10, psalm 9:9, 59:16
     
3. "you have My Word."
   
   • romans 10:17 - faith comes by hearing the word of God. whenever you have trouble, go to the Bible.
   • make it your goal to please God. faith pleases God.

UNKNOWN:

faith can't fail, because it's a gift from God.

1 cor 13:13
unshakable faith: faith + hope + love:

1. a love that trusts (lean first to the power of His love)
2. a hope that believes
3. a faith that acts

it's not what love says, but what it doesn't say.

sit in the father's love, then get up into the fullness of Christ (hope), and step up in faith (daily).

faith should always bring you closer to Jesus.

SCOTT "SANGA" SAMWAYS:

2 cor 4:18
don't fix your eyes on what is subject to change.

romans 10:8
faith dwells in 2 places: heart and mouth
faith does not operate from your mind, but heart.
the mind can only responds to God by:
-malfunction
- marvel
- mad (anger)

proverbs 18:20
from your lips come out harvest. start speaking out His promises.

faith attacks circumstances. your mouth is the outlet of God's power.
choose to live by faith and not feeling.

heb 11:1 your faith is not blind, it has evidence

john 8:31-32 the truth will set you free
