After the death and resurrection of Jesus, we are in the most exciting time of the Church's history. The Word of God tells us in Acts 3v.20-21,
...and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom
heaven must receive until the time of restoration of all things, which God has spoken
by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Jesus is coming back! However, this scripture tells us that it will not be before the restoration of all things prophesied. Or, in other words, the fulfillment of every promise of God!
Remember Galatians 6v.7,
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
So for God not to be mocked, every seed sown must return a harvest. He promised that His Word will not return to Him void, but accomplish what He pleases and the Word of will prosper in the thing for which He sent it (Isaiah 55v.11).
We are right in this season of fulfillment! Jesus is building His Church, and is doing it through you and me.
Someone may ask, "Why have I not seen it yet?"
We must remember that the "currency" of the Kingdom of Heaven is FAITH! Again, Hebrews 11v.6,
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.
God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10v.34). But, He is a respecter of FAITH! In other words, if you and I, or anyone, goes to God on the basis of His Word and believe we receive, and live the life of FAITH, He will answer the Word the same for each and every one of us. But, He will not do anything outside of FAITH.
I am sure you can see why FAITH is so important. Remember Romans 1v.17,
LIVE by FAITH! Living is something we do 24 hours a day. If we stop living, it is called death. to stay alive we have to LIVE FULLTIME! That means that FAITH is a FULLTIME commitment.
FAITH is taking that water and putting it to the mouth and drinking... FAITH is acting on what you believe.
The woman who pushed through the crowd saying, "If I touch His garment, I will be made well", was healed when she acted on her belief. Jesus said in Luke 8v.48,
..."Daughter, be of good cheer; your FAITH has made you well. Go in peace."
What was her FAITH? Acting on what she believed.
You have received promises from God. He has spoken a Rhema Word to your heart. Romans 10v.17,
So then FAITH comes by earing, and hearing by the [Rhema] Word of God.
Take time to meditate on these words, allow FAITH to rise in your heart... and then act! Move forward knowing that God is not mocked. His Word will respond to your FAITH.
When you sow your next seed, hold it in your hand and declare, "God is not mocked. I can cheerfully act on the promise of God and know that I always have all sufficiency in all things and abundance for every good work. I receive every promise that God has given me, in the Name of Jesus. Thank you, Father."

Jesus is Lord!
