I have been Tested Positive for FAITH

I have been Tested Positive for FAITH
Romans 10:17

So faith comes from hearing [what is told],
and what is heard comes by the [preaching
of the] message concerning Christ.
Jesus didn’t say “heard” the word ~
Jesus said by hearing = again and again


You need to daily hear His word because 
the Devil is here to: steal

John 10:10-29
10 The thief comes only in order to steal
and kill and destroy. I came that they
may have and enjoy life, and have it in
abundance [to the full, till it overflows].
He is here to steal God’s word immediately
right out of your mind as soon as it goes in.
When you study, spend time into reading
God’s word, creating a deeper connection,
Your foundation in Christ becomes more solid.
The enemy can’t come and steal the word
because it is Rock Solid grounded in Christ.
Anyone grafted by faith is in Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17 (AMP)
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is,
grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him
as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and
renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things
[the previous moral and spiritual condition]
have passed away. Behold, new things have
come [because spiritual awakening brings
a new life].


Restoration Promised

Deuteronomy 30:1-14 ~
“So it shall be when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you… and you have returned to the Lord your God and have listened to and obeyed His voice with all your heart and with all your soul, in accordance with everything that I am commanding you today… then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you…and He shall make you prosper and multiply…


“And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart ... [that is, He will remove the desire to sin from your heart], so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul, so that you may live [as a recipient of His blessing]. 7 The Lord your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who have persecuted you. 8 And you shall again listen to and obey the voice of the Lord, and do all His commandments which I command you today. 9 Then the Lord your God shall make you abundantly prosperous in everything that you do… for the Lord will again delight over you for good… if you listen to and obey the voice of the Lord your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul (your entire being).

“For this commandment which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach. It is not [a secret hidden] in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’ …But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.

Choose Life

Deuteronomy 30:15-20 ~

“Listen closely, I have set before you today life and prosperity (good), and death and adversity (evil); in that, I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk [ to live each and every day] in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments (precepts), so that you will live and multiply, and that the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns away and you will not hear and obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you will certainly perish….
I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, 20 by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding closely to Him; for He is your life [your good life, your abundant life, your fulfillment] and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord promised (swore) to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”


Perfect and constant peace

Isaiah 26:3

“You will keep in a perfect and constant peace
the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed
and focused on You—in both [b]inclination and
character], because he trusts and takes refuge
in You [with hope and confident expectation].

Return what was stolen

Proverbs 6:30-31

People do not despise a thief if he steals
To satisfy himself when he is hungry; But when
he is found, he must repay seven times [what
he stole]; He must give all the property of his
house [if necessary to meet his fine].
If the devil can steal your joy
he can’t steal you goods!
Perfect Peace is in Jesus

John 16:33

I have told you these things, so that in Me
you may have [perfect] peace. In the world
you have tribulation and distress and suffering,
but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted,
be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.”
[My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.]
A new believer now has something to share

Ephesians 4:28
The thief [who has become a believer] must no
longer steal, but instead he must work hard
[making an honest living], producing that which
is good with his own hands, so that he will have
something to share with those in need.
Be Strong and Courageous

Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or
tremble in dread before them, for it is the LORD
your God who goes with you. He will not fail you
or abandon you.”

Pure Joy

James 1:2-3
Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and
sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. Be
assured that the testing of your faith [through
experience] produces endurance [leading to
spiritual maturity, and inner peace].

God is good all the time,

1 Chronicles 16:34
O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
All the time God is good
Thank you, Jesus!

Galatians 5:22-23 AMPC

The fruit of the Holy Spirit, the work which His presence within accomplishes is love, joy, gladness, peace, patience, even temper, forbeara...
