TD Jakes - The Conception of Faith - Part 2 (03/17/2024)
Faith comes by hearing—and sticking—God's Word, anchoring us steady in storms. Like Sarah's womb quickened by judging God faithful despite impossibility, potent faith receives seed, endures crushing, produces harvest. Wrath/worry choke; clear heart's ground—obey God's character over voices—for breakthrough beyond circumstances.
Faith from Hearing the Message
"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word about Christ." Are you hearing what I am saying to you? The Word that sticks, the Word that sticks, the Word that sticks. I am still living off of steady in the storm. Every time a storm comes in with my life, my mind says, be steady in the storm. Keep your hand on the wheel, do not let the wind rock you, do not let your emotions break you, do not let the situation shake you. Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.
I preached that like four or five months ago, and I am still chewing off of that Word right there. You know why, storms are still coming, and as long as storms are still coming, I am gonna be steady in the storm. You cannot be faithful if you are not steady in the storm. If you are tossed to and fro by every wind, you cannot be steadfast, you gotta prove that I am gonna stand flat-footed right here, come hell or high water, I am gonna stand right there. This is where I stand, I cannot control where you stand, I cannot control where you stand, I cannot help where you stand, I cannot change how you stand, but as for me and my house, this is where I stand. I am gonna stand flat-footed on the Word of God. Are you hearing what I am saying?
