If It’s Faith It’s A Done Deal

“If ye abide in me, and my Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” John 15:7.  That’s what Jesus said, but this is not some magic formula, and there’s some catches to it.

1. You have to be in a state of obedience to God’s ways at the time of asking.

2. You must do what it takes to usher in the “miracle”:  If you don’t go out after it you aren’t believing it’s a done deal, or you are deceived by thinking God will do the foot work for you.  He will not! God may provide the means to get food, but you must put it into your mouth with your own hand.  He won’t make you become anything, or do anything, and he won’t just drop his goodies on you like hail stones.  There is always a part you must play.

3. You must believe in your heart that if you ask you SHALL receive:  Now the word shall has nothing to do with the word “maybe”.  A lot of people, however, read it maybe.  But he said shall, and that is a definite “yes you can have it”, a done deal. If you feel it is not a done deal it is not faith.  Faith is not an if, it is positive victory.

When you go out after something you know is of God, it’s a done deal, you just have to walk it out in wisdom, but not in striving, in rest. Hebrews 4:9 & 10 says,  “There remaineth there a rest to the people of God.  For he that is entered into His rest he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from His.”  Striving is not rest, victory is rest, if you don’t feel a peace and expectancy that it is yours, it is not rest and it is not faith. If you must push, push, push or it won’t happen, getting into worry, fretting fear, etc., it is striving.  If it’s a done deal you simply do the motion it takes to bring you in line to receive what you asked for.

There can be no worry when you know that it is already done, already settled, no question about it, no “well what if?”.  It is believing it is ours no matter what it looks like.  We like to count on what we can see with our eyes and touch with our hands.  Remember this, every thing we see now, once did not exist, it could not be seen.  God made everything we now see and feel out of nothing but the spoken Word, which we also can not see.  We, as well, are told to speak that creative Word of faith with our mouths for what we want to appear that is yet unseen.  Faith, the attitude of  “IT’S A DONE DEAL”,  is the title deed to receiving the, as yet, unseen.
