Faith activates favor and puts you in a position of privilege.
John 1:50-51 (KJV) “Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”
John 1:50-51 (AMP) “Jesus replied, Because I said to you, I saw you beneath the fig tree, do you believe in and rely on and trust in Me? You shall see greater things than this! Then He said to him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you all, you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man! [Gen. 28:12; Dan. 7:13.]”
“Because I said…and you believed…”
Romans 10:16b-17 (NKJV) “…For Isaiah says, “ Lord , who has believed our report?” So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
“Lord , who has believed our report?“
Do you hear his report and do you believe?
If you are hearing and you believe, know that faith is coming ?
“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Because you hear and believe, know that faith is coming and you are going to be pleasing to God.
Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
A reward is coming your way
“Verily, verily, I say unto you…you shall see greater things…”
FAITH activates favor and puts you in a position of privilege to see wondrous things. If you believe the report of the Lord and trust in Jesus you are going to have the privilege of seeing wondrous things in the earth
If you believe what He (JESUS) is saying..
Hebrews 1:1-2 (NKJV) “God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son…”
Your eyes shall be opened!
Luke 24:31 (NKJV) “Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.”
Isaiah 35:5 (NKJV) “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.”
Your eyes shall be opened to see that, He is!
Luke 24:31 (NKJV) “…they knew Him”
To see that He is the ladder(gateway/stairway) to Heaven
“…Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.”
He is the ladder(gateway/stairway) to Heaven that Jacob (Israel) saw
Genesis 28:12 (AMP) “And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!”
Genesis 28:12 (MSG) “And he dreamed: A stairway was set on the ground and it reached all the way to the sky; angels of God were going up and going down on it.”
Our prayer for today
Psalms 119:17-19 (NKJV) “Deal bountifully with Your servant, That I may live and keep Your word. Open my eyes, that I may see Wondrous things from Your law. I am a stranger in the earth; Do not hide Your commandments from me.”
