Brother Kenneth Hagin often said:

“Feed your faith and starve your doubts.”

The word negative isn’t really in the King James Version of the Bible.  However, when I think about the word negative I’m reminded of the word doubt.

F.F. Bosworth, the author of Christ the Healer, said “faith and doubt cannot live in the same house.”

James 1:6 in the Amplified Bible says:

“Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind.”

When doubt leaves your life . . .you are presented with unlimited opportunities.

Matthew 21:21 in the New Living Translation says:

“Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, ‘May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and it will happen.”

How do you get rid of doubt. . .or negativity?

James 4:7 says:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”

Someone once said:

“You get faith by studying the Word. Study that Word until something in you “knows that you know” and that you do not just hope that you know.”

John 10:17 in the New King James Version says:

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”

READ YOUR BIBLE. . .BELIEVE WHAT IT SAYS.

5.         Believing the impossible as possible

The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir has a great song entitled “Nothing Is Impossible.”  Here are some of the lyrics:

“Nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing at all is impossible, impossible, with God

Nothing, nothing at all

Nothing, nothing at all is impossible, impossible, with God

It is no secret what my God can do

What my God has done for others he can still do for you

There’s nothing impossible, impossible, with God”

I recently posted the following statement on Facebook and Twitter.

Never let fear of the unknown or untried prevent you from doing what appears at first to be impossible…when in reality…it’s possible.

Luke 1:37 in the Amplified Bible says:

“For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.”

With God. . .nothing is impossible.  Well, there is one thing. . .it’s impossible to please God without faith.

Hebrews 11:6 says:

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

The Amplified Bible translation of Hebrews 11:6 says:

“But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].”

According to Strong’s Concordance the Greek word for rewarder is misthapodotēs (G3406) and it means:

“one who pays wages, a rewarder”

He is one who pays wages to those who diligently seek him.

Are you getting this?

Jeremiah 17:10 in the New Living Translation says:

“But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.”

What are your due rewards for diligently faithfully seeking him?  You’re going to get paid for it.

Hallelujah!!
