Today I want to continue the revelation from my communion time with the Holy Spirit yesterday on building a heart of faith which is rooted in constantly hearing from the heart of God. This means our heart is always causing faith to come in and expand in our daily experience of life thus enabling us to continually please the Lord. Hebrews.11:6.

Remember Matthew.14:28-32. Which reads : And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Faith came to Peter when Jesus said the words come. Now the faith that came had nothing to do with the state of Peter’s mind or any good deed he had done that day the Holy Spirit pointed out. It came because Jesus the author and finisher of faith Hebrews.12:2 gave the word of command and from that moment Peter stepped into a spiritual force of faith that enabled him to please God as he walked on the water.

Now it is important to also note that Peter did not understand the dynamics that were at work that enabled Jesus to walk on water which was a supernatural occurrence. He was just privileged to partake of it because he asked Jesus for the opportunity which Jesus granted.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that faith is not about us understanding all the parameters of how the impossible becomes possible but stepping out on the word of the Lord trusting that He has all things covered.Hebrews.1:2-4.

We therefore need to be more sensitive to the words the Holy Spirit speaks at any given time rather than the present obstacle or barrier in the way. This is because the words the Holy Spirit will speak to you are spirit and have life in them which will come into being/ existence regardless of present opposing circumstances.John.6:63.

Faith comes therefore because we hear and hearing comes because we hear what the word of the Lord says. On an occasion when Jesus was speaking we are told that the Power of the Lord was present to heal people but no one received anything. Luke.5:20 However we see these words spoken by Jesus : When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

You see people were in the meeting hearing Jesus speaking, ( just as it happens with us when we attend church) but no faith came to them to receive the healing present to change their situation. It took outsiders who did not have tickets to attend the Jesus meeting because of the vast crowd that heard the voice of what was spoken of Jesus.

Who then came believing the word about Him performing miracles, ready to do anything to get into His Presence which they did which changed the man’s life. This is what the Holy Spirit pointed out: Jesus is looking for faith in the hearts of men.Luke.7:9.

Yes this is what the Holy Spirit wants us to live out daily in our lives as we reach out in faith to lay hold of all the exceedingly great and precious promises the Lord has stored up for us. 2 Peter.1:4.Our hearts the Holy Spirit pointed out have to be in faith seeking the voice of the Lord on all matters so we can have the right Godly miraculous outcomes after we obey His voice.

As we have noted Peter only started that journey of faith when Jesus gave him the word which propelled him forward to come walk on the water and have such a grand testimony.

So it is vitally important that we always position ourselves to ensure we are walking by faith because doubt always comes quickly after faith has been sown in our hearts. Doubt came regardless of the fact that Peter was looking at Jesus and Peter had no answer for it to resist it so he started to sink.Mark.4:15.

This is the reason the Holy Spirit is speaking to me about us building a faith by hearing the word conversation with the voice of the Lord. This will mean we are never in a place where doubt, unbelief, fear and the voices of men determine our outcomes in life.

There are things that will remain as long as we live on the earth: the negative voices which contradict the truth. However the Holy Spirit of truth is here to help us create a pathway that enables us to overcome every obstacle by our victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 1 John.5:4.

I will share this testimony as another evidence of this reality: a lady I was mentoring at the time had an issue at work and they were being terminated from their position. However the company was unwilling to pay a reasonable severance package and literally offered just a month’s pay.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me to tell her to go approach the Personnel Officer and demand a severance of £10,000.They were taken aback by the request because they had never experienced her in their employ to question them and make demands.

They flatly refused her and told her to exit the premises with threats and she came crying saying she knew she could not stand up to them because they were a big company with much human clout.

So I calmly reminded her of what the Holy Spirit had revealed to me and the amount He had spoken for her to request and that she would be paid that amount. So began the fight which she went on to win and received the £10,000 plus the month’s severance.

Faith came to her when I spoke the word of the £10,000 but doubt assailed her once she made the request and she was retreating instantly.

Thankfully she picked herself back up as Peter did with the help of Jesus and came to the conclusion of that event with the £10,000 the Lord had spoken rejoicing because she had also received a better job with better perks.

Well today is your day for such a miracle and as you have heard these words faith has been imparted to you to take a step forward and defy what has been troubling you.

You can be assured that by the power of the word of the Lord your situation will change and a miraculous event will take place that will startle you and reveal the hand of the Lord on your behalf that will become the hallmark of increasing faith victories in your life going forward in Jesus name. Amen.
