We have tried to build faith in the believer by condemning their wrong doings, and preaching sin and condemnation. No one ever gets faith that way. Anyone can see that this destroys what little faith one has. All prayer for faith is nothing but unbelief. Unbelief grows out of sense of unworthiness.

Sin consciousness is the greatest destroyer of Faith. Now, what shall we do about it? In the first place one must know what he is in Christ. As a new creation he has passed from death to Life. He has eternal life; he is a son of God, an heir of God, and a joint heir with Christ. This gives him legal ground for a perfect fellowship with the Father. This fellowship is based on the fact that this New creation has become the Righteousness of God in Christ. There is now no condemnation. He is complete in Christ. If the Law could not help a Jew, how can it help a believer. Teach the message of righteousness not the law. We have majored sin consciousness. We have preached the Law. We have kept our people under condemnation. Faith cannot grow in that kind of atmosphere; consequently almost none of the believers today have any active faith in the Word.

Only the word of Grace can build a believer, reinforce him with the strength of the Father, and give him an inheritance among the saints. The Law was for the dead in the spirit; Love is for the living. The Law of sin and death was for the dead old creation while the Law of Life and spirit is for the new creation.

Two Kinds of Righteousness

John 1:1-4 Word is so important so much so that it’s significant can never be overlooked, the world we are seeing is a product of the word and everything that is in the world came into existence through the word.

The potency of the word is such a powerful one that cannot be neglected.

What I do with the Word will determine what the Word will do to me one of these days.
The Word is takes the Master’s place in my life. The Word will work in me, building Jesus’ life in me, building Life, Faith, Love, Grace and strength into me, or else it will judge me in the last day. What will it do for me? It will work for me. If I preach it and live it, it will work for me. It will reveal the very riches of my inheritance to me. It will give me courage to enter into and enjoy my inheritance. It will build the Master’s steadfastness into me. The very character of Christ will be built into me, and only He knows what it will do through me. It has saved the lost; it has healed the sick; it has built faith and love in multitudes.

Let the Word of Christ then dwell in you richly. You can so soak in the Word and the Word so soak in you, that your word and God’s Word become blended into one. It will be your language and your words, but it will be His Word. His Word in you becomes a part of you. It has made you what you are; it will make others like you.
You are lost in the Word, but the Word is found in you. The Word became Flesh once. It is becoming spirit in your spirit. The Word dwells richly in your practice, in your conversation, in your prayer, in your convictions.

You are using the Word to cast out diseases, to bring money to people, to save lost souls. This Word and you have become one. You remember that for more than fifty years after Christ’s death, the Written Word was known only in a very limited way. The New Testament wasn’t brought together until the middle of the second century. The Words that Jesus spoke were not yet written. It was the “Spoken Word,” but He was in it. They were a part of Christ and they breathed Christ’s Nature. Remember, the Word of God liveth and abideth. All right, speak the Word and it will live in the lives of men who hear you. He said, “I watch over my Word.” He will watch over the Word you preach and teach. Jesus said, “If my words are living in you and you are speaking them, I will live in them as they pass from your lips.” The Word of Christ becomes a Living thing in your lips. Speak the Word fearlessly. Let the Word live in you gloriously and richly.

New Creation Realities.

Your feelings will want to pay people back. Feelings will tell you, “Get in there and get even. Stand up for yourself.” If you let feelings rule you, you’ll get upset. You’ll end up giving away your joy. It says in Psalms, “God has given us the power to remain calm in times of adversity.” It doesn’t say God will keep all the adversity from us, keep the negative chatter, the opposition. It says, adversity will come, we’ll have opportunities to get upset, but God has given us the power to stay calm.
