Casting Out Our Hope Having Producing Faith As Our Hook

 

I believe God Kind of Faith Produces what it says it does ----I believe God's Word is to be put into action to produce what Life God wants us to live ---Do you ??  

 

Strong's Concordance
pistis: faith, faithfulness

Original Word: πίστις, εως, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: pistis
Phonetic Spelling: (pis'-tis)
Short Definition: faith, belief, trust
Definition: faith, belief, trust, confidence; fidelity, faithfulness.

 

Faith (4102/pistis) is always a gift from God, and never something that can be produced by people. In short, 4102/pistis ("faith") for the believer is "God's divine persuasion" – and therefore distinct from human belief 

 

God kind of Faith brings our hopes from the unseen into this seen realm -----The bible says that Faith is the substance of the thing we hope for -----This word substance in Greek is hupostasis ----this is from Strong's Concordance ----

 

Strong's Concordance

hupostasis: a support, substance, steadiness, hence assurance

Original Word: ὑπόστασις, εως, ἡ

Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine

Transliteration: hupostasis

Phonetic Spelling: (hoop-os'-tas-is)

Short Definition: assurance, substance, reality

Definition: (lit: an underlying), (a) confidence, assurance, (b) a giving substance (or reality) to, or a guaranteeing, (c) substance, reality.

 

For the believer, 5287 /hypóstasis ("title of possession") is the Lord's guarantee to fulfill the faith He inbirths (cf. Heb 11:1 with Heb 11:6). Indeed we are only entitled to what God grants faith for (Ro 14:23).

 

So Faith is our guarantee that what we hope for will come to pass -----as long as it goes along with what God has promised in His word -----If we hope to win the lottery--worldly wealth or anything else that goes against God's word then the Faith you have is not from God -----and if your hope is fulfilled it will probable end up causing you grief in the end -----the fruit you bear will be of bad fruit -----God's Faith that produces will always bear good fruit and bring a peaceful happy ending -----

 

Jeremiah 29:11

GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

 

11 I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope.

 

So our Hope is not seen because it is in the future ------

 

Romans 8:24

GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

 

24 We were saved with this hope in mind. If we hope for something we already see, it’s not really hope. Who hopes for what can be seen?

 

Hope is the fishing Line that we through out and Faith is the Fish hook that brings the unseen fish into the seen where we can actually ---Taste when it is food --see --touch-- -feel and smell ----what we hoped to catch would appear -----Now you can cast out your line with your hook and not catch a fish this to me is human hope with no substance ------

 

John 21

GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

 

Jesus Appears to His Disciples Again

 

3 Simon Peter said to the others, "I’m going fishing."

They told him, "We’re going with you."

They went out in a boat but didn’t catch a thing that night. 4 As the sun was rising, Jesus stood on the shore. The disciples didn’t realize that it was Jesus.

 

5 Jesus asked them, "Friends, haven’t you caught any fish?"

They answered him, "No, we haven’t."

 

6 He told them, "Throw the net out on the right side of the boat, and you’ll catch some." So they threw the net out and were unable to pull it in because so many fish were in it.

 

The net was the hope --Jesus said this to them -------Throw the net out and He gave instructions as to what side they should through the hope out on ----they did what Jesus said they responded -The acted out their Faith ---and the Faith produced what was hoped for -----

 

The Bible is much more than just a Book --It's words are alive and active and will produce what it says if we just follow the instructions and put our Faith into action -----Faith without works is dead according to scripture -----Our Faith needs the right corresponding action to what we are hoping for ----

 

Romans 12:12

King James Version (KJV)

 

12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

 

We have to be patient when we don't see our hope right away ----and keep praying on what we hope for -----

 

It is not easy to be following Jesus and His ways --it is very trying and takes great patience and work on our part as there will be many things that will try and get our attention off of the hope we are tring to get ---Satan will work-- pull out all he knows to keep us from getting our hope produced --- he will attack our Faith --if it is not grounded and rooted in us --

 

Matthew 13:20-22

GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

 

20 The seed planted on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and accepts it at once with joy. 21 Since he doesn’t have any root, he lasts only a little while. When suffering or persecution comes along because of the word, he immediately falls from faith. 22 The seed planted among thornbushes is another person who hears the word. But the worries of life and the deceitful pleasures of riches choke the word so that it can’t produce anything.

 

I believe God's word is alive and active and will always do as it says if we follow the instructions ----Do you ?

 

Praise God for giving us His word that works in our lives today ------Peace to all

Here's your problem: If you believe this, then every time a Christian child surrounded by faithful, praying parents and supporters dies, then you have to also say the following:

Instead of wasting time  trying to figure out who is right and who is wrong ----If Jesus is God or not ---If the Bible is God's Word or not ---

 

We should spend more time doing the word and accepting the word and working  the word so we can get the results That God Himself has Promised us in this life we live now here on this earth ----working on casting out our Hopes and using producing Faith to bring peace --joy --happiness --wellness ---patients ---wholeness ---kindness ---love ---and blessings so we are strong to help others ----

Hi Chansen -- Dose this scare you healing I mean? You don't know chansen . GOD is not like man His ways are not the ways of men. You don't get to play music and say why don't you dance for me.His will be done in Heaven and on  earth.I have seen His healing in life. I like many of thousands have felt it myself. All Glory is GODS. Many in the days of Christ were sick . Yet there are many storys in GODS word that tell us He healed some  and not others . Like the man who sett by the troubled waters.  Jesus The Christ said I do only, what the Father tells me to do. airclean33

excellent point chansen.....

My daughter was in Turkey for 2 years as a missionary.

The pastor's wife had cancer and was very much like unsafe along the "faith" lines.

She would never voice her disease and she would not allow anyone to say it.

She was of the "speak your faith and it becomes real" crowd....

The short of it is that she died holding on to that very theology....

Now ..... was her faith not sufficient?

Was it something she did wrong?

Did she not believe hard enough?  Pray hard enough? Serve hard enough? Tithe enough?

Where was her lack of faith????

Like you I find threads with this sort of bent to be rather repugnant.

I leave you with this scripture which tells you my opinion on your question ----Jesus couldn't heal people in His own Home Town ----Why ----He answers that question --- ---and what He says is my opinion ----

 

 

Mark 6

New Living Translation (NLT)

Jesus Is Rejected at Nazareth

 

Jesus left that part of the country and returned with his disciples to Nazareth, his hometown. The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. They asked, “Where did he get all this wisdom and the power to perform such miracles?” Then they scoffed, “He’s just a carpenter, the son of Mary[a] and the brother of James, Joseph,[b] Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us.” They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.

 

Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” 5 And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. And he was amazed at their unbelief.

 

Jesus answers your question -----

Please Note

 

God is not a respector of persons ------He is a Respector of His Word ----Jesus ask a question and they responded ---Faith requires response ----they said ----

 

Matthew 9:27-28

New Living Translation (NLT)

Jesus Heals the Blind

 

27 After Jesus left the girl’s home, two blind men followed along behind him, shouting, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”

 

28 They went right into the house where he was staying, and Jesus asked them, Do you believe I can make you see?”

Yes, Lord,” they told him, “we do.”

Do children have parents ??

John 4:43-54

New Living Translation (NLT)

 

Jesus Heals an Official’s Son

 

43 At the end of the two days, Jesus went on to Galilee. 44 He himself had said that a prophet is not honored in his own hometown. 45 Yet the Galileans welcomed him, for they had been in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration and had seen everything he did there.

 

46 As he traveled through Galilee, he came to Cana, where he had turned the water into wine. There was a government official in nearby Capernaum whose son was very sick.47 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went and begged Jesus to come to Capernaum to heal his son, who was about to die.

 

48 Jesus asked, Will you never believe in me unless you see miraculous signs and wonders?”

 

49 The official pleaded, “Lord, please come now before my little boy dies.”

 

50 Then Jesus told him, Go back home. Your son will live!”And the man believed what Jesus said and started home.

 

 

Here is another one -----Child --has parents ---read all here http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+5:35-43&version=NLT

 

Mark 5:35-43

New Living Translation (NLT)

35 While he was still speaking to her, messengers arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. They told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”

36 But Jesus overheard[a] them and said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith.”

Again, unsafe, what is your backup plan when it doesn't work? Do you realize that children of Christians die at about the same rate as children of atheists? I'm not talking children in some book - I'm talking about real kids, in real hospitals, in real life-and-death struggles.

 

Believing doesn't save lives - people do. Hands performing chest compressions have saved way more lives than hands clasped in prayer.

From what I can decifer from your post unsafe it sounds like you are calling waterfall a fool. If that is the case then I guess the peace you offer at the end is the cherry on top of your dessert. Maybe you are saying who ever doesn't agree with you is a fool or are you suggesting that you have a tendency to get caught up in foolishness?

Here is another good one, better to remain silent and be thought the fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

But being foolish with the confidence men (people) is so much fun!

 

Except when the confidence men get too powerful they get corrupted from their effects of fishing where they shouldn't ... especially in books of alien languages that they truly don't understand as satyr-like ... why?

 

Cause King James wished people to think like him ... and really he didn't ... he was generally considered ill-iterate ... if you know how that bounces in an authorities ears ... or between eM in de void ...

Just face it the human psyche is crazy (and each of us is part of it; unless you're out of it) ... creation needed something to entertain IDselves while in lengthy containment ... that's infinite eh bis!

 

I Rae iterate: only 2 peoples in history declined belief in nothing (passionate state of soul) or the infinite (inclusive of intelligence that's out there) these were the Roman militants and the others powers that were juiced by the Romans expecially in Ju-dea ... that tranliterates into Ju-Di with the punch ... an ancient art of pup'ete-ering ...

Always strings involved and often corrupt connections ... if there are no thoughts about what you sow reflecting back atcha ...

 

In a crazy world best do as the Romans do ... look a bit stew þ'ID when in clear light ...

 

No one would notice yah speaking to unknown parts ... with underlying imp Li cations ... these being proton-IHC ... compared to pho Tuns ... and nothing is recalled without attached myth, story or tales ... tis the nature of understanding a greater psyche! The myth is larger than a mortal would think as presented in abstract ...

Hi waterfall

 

You're Welcome --The Book of Proverbs has many wise sayings -----this one is about hope which is what this post is about ----seems wisdom is very important in our lives to keep our hope from being cut off ---- 

 

Proverbs 24:14

Amplified Bible (AMP)

 

14 So shall you know skillful and godly Wisdom to be thus to your life; if you find it, then shall there be a future and a reward, and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off.

 

 

Peace and Blessings to you

I will remember not to fall for the same bait because in the end you just get reeled in.

The Bible is very clear that God's word is alive and active ----and will not return Void ---Hom many of us have actually  put the word to the test -----followed the instructions -----

Gods love is unconditional but he heals with conditions? Is that what youre saying?
So when God died on the cross for our sins, there wasnt a condition that we have to believe? He unconditionally loves everyone IYO? No repentance required? Just asking what you believe.

Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

The inbolding is mine ofcouse. The death of Christ on the cross is as you see . For those whoever that believe. This is faith in Jesus that He is The Christ. If not GOD cannot work with you, by His own rules. This I understand by what GOD Himself said. Now in all truth I cannot tell GOD who He is to heal and who not to. I know and understand only GOD Himself can do that.-- airclean33

So why do you say that God's love is unconditional, when in fact you have to believe (as a condition) in order to be saved? And you say the same thing about healing.

Jesus healed a paralytic, not because of his faith, but because of the four that carried him.

 

The demonic from Gadarene was healed before he was capable of having faith in Jesus.

 

Jesus healed Malchus ear when it was cut off, without any faith present.

 

Jairus' daughter was healed because of the father's faith.

 

In the Bible, there are more examples of Jesus performing miracles without any faith present.

 

Of the 35 miracles recorded in the Bible, only 10 required faith.

- Jesus Christ is the Healer. So He had great faith as The Christ . As you see with peter walking on the water . Peter new how water worked he had been a fisherman. So lost his faith so christ had to lift him up. In each case you show Christ did not lose His faith did he . You want to talk about the time He went to His home town and what happened?

Yes, I do thankyou, in his own town, he healed some. Not many. But he also didn't heal everytime he passed a temple with believers out front did he? Thousands of believers gathered at the pool of Bethsaida, he chose to heal one.

 

The blind man in John didn't know it was Christ that healed him until later.

Possibly.  The teaching cuts both ways.

 

It could be warning Waterfall of what might happen if she continues to try and engage unsafe.

 

In 1 Peter 3:15 Christians are exhorted to always be prepared to give an answer.

 

If no answers are forthcoming to questions asked it would be foolish to continue to ask questions wouldn't it?

This is what we need to get ----Healing is done ----it is a finished works of the Cross ---every srtipe that Jesus took was a healing stripe -----the scripture makes it very clear --We Are Healed ----not we could be healed --or we might be healed ----WE ARE -Past Tense -----We as an individual person have to believe that we are in fact healed ---Belief ---Faith is belief ----God kind of Faith comes from God not Humans ---see Strong's Def --below ----it is divine Faith ---that works ---- 

 

Strong's Concordance
pistis: faith, faithfulness

Original Word: πίστις, εως, ἡ
Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine
Transliteration: pistis
Phonetic Spelling: (pis'-tis)
Short Definition: faith, belief, trust
Definition: faith, belief, trust, confidence; fidelity, faithfulness.

 

Faith (4102/pistis) is always a gift from God, and never something that can be produced by people. In short, 4102/pistis ("faith") for the believer is "God's divine persuasion" – and therefore distinct from human belief 

 

 

As airclean33 points out in Isaiah 53:5 ---

 

Isaiah 53:5

New King James Version (NKJV)

But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

 

 

But this post is about casting out our Hopes in this life and bringing them to pass in this Physical realm ------What is it you all hope for ----you hope to get a job ----you hope to find a mate ---you hope to be going down the right path for your life -----you hope to be able to provide for your needs in this Life ---you need Faith in God and His word to bring about the right kind of hopes in your life -----that is what this post is suppose to be about -----Jesus healed the people in His day because they believed in Him ----He couldn't heal some because of unbelief ----no faith -----Period ----

 

We now Have the Holy Spirit not a physical Jesus ----belief is still needed to accomplish what we want in our own lives ----Just because we are born again and are under Grace we still have protocal to adhear to ---God's word and belief it will work in our lives ------it takes doing it ---the word needs to be acted on -----it takes ---work and practice to believe and receive  ---Here is an example -----

 

Jesus says this in scripture below  -----Have you ever tried ---speaking to your mountain and not about your mountain -----What is your mountain ---any situation that tries to take you off what you hope for -----Protocol ----don't doubt ----just believe your mountain will be removed

 

Mark 11:23

New King James Version (NKJV)

 

23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

 

I have tried this ----and I kept trying this every time my mountain came to knock me off my Faith and believe me people it works ----my mountain is removed very quickly in my life when it comes up now ---I have mastered keeping my mountain in the sea ----

 

This Post by the way is only for Born Again People as if you don't have the Holy Spirit then you are away from God ---according to scripture ----Follow the instructions get the results ----with much practice --- 

 

Peace
