“Sola fide“  is Latin for “by faith alone.” Scripture defines the word faith in Hebrew 11:1 and it is taught on Wednesdays, Sunday Schools, Bible College, in seminars, books, T.V. and radio programs. People have written a theology and created a movement. I wonder often if that was our heavenly Father’s will for us to do.

Without Faith is impossible to please God

     One morning (at 4:30 a.m.) I sat at the table and dicided to read Hebrews 11. Why 4:30a.m.? That’s just the time I wake up to have quiet time and devotions. I began to read this chapter and I as read there was a phrase that kept jumping out at me, “It was by faith.”  When I read these verses the Holy Spirit spoke to me and ministered to my life right where I was at. I ask you to read these verses and let the Spirit of God speak and minister to your heart today. Forget about what others have said concerning these Scripture, just tune your hearing to the voice of God and let Him speak directly to you. He can do that, you know!

Hebrews 11
“4 It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. God accepted Abel’s offering to show that he was a righteous man. And although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us because of his faith.

“5 It was by faith that Enoch was taken up to heaven without dying — “suddenly he disappeared because God took him.” a But before he was taken up, he was approved as pleasing to God.”

“7 It was by faith that Noah built an ark to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about something that had never happened before. By his faith he condemned the rest of the world and was made right in God’s sight.”

“8 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going”

“11 It was by faith that Sarah together with Abraham was able to have a child, even though they were too old and Sarah was barren. Abraham believed that God would keep his promise.” b

“17 It was by faith that Abraham offered Isaac as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac”

“20 It was by faith that Isaac blessed his two sons, Jacob and Esau. He had confidence in what God was going to do in the future”

“21 It was by faith that Jacob, when he was old and dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons and bowed in worship as he leaned on his staff.”

“22 And it was by faith that Joseph, when he was about to die, confidently spoke of God’s bringing the people of Israel out of Egypt. He was so sure of it that he commanded them to carry his bones with them when they left!”

“23 It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid of what the king might do”

“24 It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be treated as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter“

“27 It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt. He was not afraid of the king. Moses kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible”

“28 It was by faith that Moses commanded the people of Israel to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons“

“29 It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians followed, they were all drowned”

“30 It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho seven days, and the walls came crashing down“

“31 It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute did not die with all the others in her city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies”

Let’s believe expecting with ALL confidence that what we are desiring WILL happen, although “we cannot yet see.” As a mentioned, let the Spirit of God speak to you this day!

I bless you in the matchless and wonderful name of Jesus!
