III. VALID FAITH!
Hebrews 2:4 (NLT), “God verified the message by signs and wonders and various miracles and by giving GIFTS of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose to do so.”
Witnessing VARIOUS MIRACLES gives us VALID FAITH!
The MIRACLES performed by God during the time of EXODUS is our VISUAL AID!
Goshen- “LIGHT in the MIDST of DARKNESS!”
Exodus-
-----God is in CONTROL. He is SOVEREIGN!
-----God is our PROVIDER! Etc… there are many implications of the VARIOUS MIRACLES during the Exodus!
The MIRACLES during the exodus “Pictures our SALVATION!” God always REMINDED Israel about how He BROUGHT out from SLAVERY, POVERTY, BONDAGE, etc…
The SAME MANNER we should be a LIVING TESTIMONY and WITNESS of Christ! A TESTIMONY on how we OVERCAME the Devil because of the FINISHED WORK of Jesus Christ at the CROSS! On how God RESCUED us from DARKNESS! On How God BLESSED us! Amen!
What about the HEALINGS performed by Jesus?
-----The MUTE speak: They can share their TESTIMONY and PREACH God’s Word!
-----The LAME walk: They can “WALK by FAITH”
----- The DEAF hear: They can UNDERSTAND the WORD of God!
----- The BLIND see: They can SEE God’s Glory and His KINGDOM (Full of LOVE, GENEROUSITY, PEACE, UNITY, HARMONY, etc…)
----- Leprosy: They are now CONFIDENT show themselves and GIVE thanks to God!
And so much more!
Yes! We are now a LIVING TESTIMONY of God’s FAITHFULNESS and God’s GRACE through CHRIST and the TRUTH about CHRIST!
The TRUTH is, “IT IS FINISHED!” Still doubt? “IT IS WRITTEN!” “When God DECLARES, CONSIDER it DONE!” (Isaiah 46:10)
VALID FAITH is when we BELIEVE the WORD of TRUTH!
Ephesians 1:13-14, “In whom ye also TRUSTED, after that ye HEARD the WORD of TRUTH, the GOSPEL of your SALVATION: in whom also after that ye BELIEVED, ye were SEALED with that HOLY SPIRIT of PROMISE, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the PURCHASED POSSESSION, unto the PARISE OF HIS GLORY.” Amen!
And we know that, we are SEALED by the HOLY SPIRIT of PROMISE the moment we BELIEVE the GOOD NEWS! Amen!
The HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES us to DO GOOD! And learn yield the FRUITS of the HOLY SPIRIT!
The HOLY SPIRIT was given as our HELPER!
For IT IS WRITTEN, “IT IS NOT GOO FOR A MAN TO BE ALONE!”
Ephesians 1:12 “That we should be to the PRAISE OF HIS GLORY!”
The KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH shall SET US FREE!
—- FREE from the POWER of SIN!
—- FREE from BONDAGE (Old Sinful deeds)!
—- FREE to LOVE others, even our ENEMIES!
—- FREE from doubt, worry and fear for TODAY and TOMORROW!
—- FREE to WORSHIP and SERVE the Lord Jesus CHRIST!
—- FREE to declare that JESUS CHRIST is Lord!
—-FREE to TESTIFY about the GOOD NEWS of Jesus Christ!
We are NOW A CITIZEN of HEAVEN! We should LEARN to LIVE like we are in HEAVEN! What is HEAVEN like? No DARKNESS at all! FULL of LOVE, PEACE, FILLED with God’s GLORY, FULL of THANKSGIVING etc..
Back in the Scripture, vs. 14 “REDEEM us from ALL INIQUITY, and PURIFY unto himself a peculiar people, ZEALOUS for GOOD WORKS!”
