Faith and Works

Brothers and Sisters both are Required to satisfy the Godhead (The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit), for the Three are in One Agreement. But, Understand this, The Father is always at the center of All Things and All Things must be according to His Will, thereby Jesus and The Holy Spirit submit to The Father’s Will.

Matthew 26:53-54 KJV

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?”

Matthew 7:21 KJV

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”

 John 5:19 KJV

“Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.”

The very Faith and Works of Jesus stood upon The Fathers Will and The very Works The Father did in the Presents of Jesus His Son. No one knows The Father like Jesus and The Holy Spirit, I would even go as far as saying even the Angles do not.

If you think that All Things that we are to Live By are according to Jesus Will, according to The Holy Spirit’s Will, you are partially right. The Will, The Works, that Jesus does and that The Holy Spirit does are All According to The Father’s Will, but, in order to do The Fathers Will, we MUST be in The Will Of Jesus, to Obey His Commandments. We cannot even approach The Father but MUST go to Jesus in All Things.

Luke 22:41-44 KJV

41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”

John 14:15 KJV

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

John 14:6 KJV

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

The first thing we need to understand is that Jesus did not want to go to the Cross, He did not want to be Beaten with Fist, Objects thrown at Him or to be Beaten with a Wipe that tore the flesh from the bone, He did not want to be Spit Upon, He did not want the Humiliation, The Mockery, Jesus did not want to go through any of this, but Jesus, most Faith Based and Work Based answer was,  “Not My Will Father, But Your Will Be Done In My Life, Even Unto Death”. Jesus had Faith in The Fathers Plan, in The Fathers Will For Him. There was one thing that The Father did not prepare Jesus for, that was the Separation between Jesus and His Father. We know this by the following Scripture…

Matthew 27:46 KJV

“And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

This was the only time that Jesus and The Father had ever been separated, The Father turned away from His Son for the First Time Ever!

Jesus knew the Works that He had to do, Jesus had Faith in The Father that if anything were to happen to Him, The Father would come to His Aid. If we search The Scriptures we find this Theme throughout all Scripture, that Faith and Works must walk hand in hand.

Sometimes, even most times, we are faced with doing The Work Of Jesus, having Faith with No Answer to proceed with what lies before us, but we Must continue doing what Scripture and The Holy Spirit tell us, believing that All Things will work to The Glory Of Jesus and to The Will of The Father.

Sometimes, even at our very lowest, we may only receive One Word and in that One Word brings forth Faith in The Works we are doing or in the situation we are in.

I will give you an example in my Life. I am in a situation that I cannot elaborate on at this time, but, it is not good. One night recently The Holy Spirit started moving within, I started speaking in Tongues within and One Word came to me, Tamar which means Palm Tree and the Palm Tree means “success and triumph”. In my situation I am broken hearted, having no answers except that The Answer was coming. This One Word came at a time of Despair, but now I must do The Works of Faith and Walk Forward, regardless of what I See or even Know, Believing Jesus has My Life in His Hands and that All Things will Work to His Praise, Honor and Glory! Jesus Our Savior and Lord had to Walk in such manor before going to The Cross.

Brothers and Sisters Life has it’s Up’s and it Down’s, things can be really, really hard and we can start to Question, even as Jesus did crying out Father why have You turned away from my suffering, not having the Understanding that Our Suffering has a purpose. So, when we Pray and there seems to be No Answer, then we MUST continue to Walk, Do The Works that we have been told to do and Have Faith in Jesus in the Out Come. It is not easy, it can be very hard, but let us Rest in The Works Of Faith that we do, knowing that Our Lord sits upon The Throne, having been given All Power and Authority in Heaven and Earth. Sometimes we MUST continue in Works when Our Faith seems to be on the brink of having none, but Jesus will Answer at just The Right Time that is needed.

Some of you may not like The Answer that Jesus may give, but Jesus did not like The Answer He had before going to the Cross either, but continued In The Work set before Him, Believing it would bring Glory To His Father!

Works of Faith MUST continue when Faith itself seems to be fleeing. Our Expectations, Our Desires, may not be according to Jesus Will for Our Lives, but we MUST continue none the less.

Luke 9:62 KJV

“And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”

 Matthew 24:13 KJV

“But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

Faith and Works MUST Walk hand in hand, that when one slips, the other continues to push us. We are Saved By Grace having done nothing to deserve it, but, Our Faith along with Our Works is Established because of Grace!

James 2:18 KJV

“Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”

Grace requires both, Faith and Works, Faith that Jesus is The Son Of God and Paid for Our Sins, Works to Live according to Scripture and The Holy Spirit.

In this final Word, Jesus made it very clear that unless we are Living according to The Fathers Will, which is Jesus Will also, we will NOT BE SAVED! Faith and Works MUST be as One, even as The Father and Jesus are One in All Things.

Brothers and Sisters, don’t give up, don’t stray, we MUST Push Forward for this Day, this Season Demands, Requires us to do so. Jesus is coming for those who Love Him and Do The Fathers Will!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

 

Be Blessed in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior!!!

Amen and Amen!!!
