Be It Unto You According To Your Faith
Download MP3Faith is important. Let’s start with Matthew Chapter 9.
Matthew 9:27-30
27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, “Have mercy on us, Son of David.” 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it done to you.” 30 And their eyes were opened.
Jesus said, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
Is faith important? Yes.
In Matthew 8:13 Jesus said to the Centurion with the paralyzed servant, “Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed."
In Matthew 9:22 Jesus said to the woman who had an issue of blood for 12 years, “Your faith has made you well."
Ephesians 2:8 says, “for by grace you have been saved through faith”.
Romans 1:17 says, “The righteous shall live by faith”.
2 Corinthians 5:7 says, “for we walk by faith, not by sight”.
Hebrews 11:6 says, “But without faith it is impossible to please him”.
Faith is important.
Now let’s talk about what we can have faith for. It’s important to know that because Jesus said, “According to your faith be it done to you.”
Let’s go back to how do we get faith. Romans 10:17 says, “So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Faith comes to us by hearing. What are you doing when you are listening? You are taking in information. When we are hearing the Word of God we are taking in the anointed message of Christ, revealing the will of God for all people.
Our faith comes from knowing the will of God. Our faith for forgiveness comes from hearing and knowing the will of God concerning forgiveness. Our faith for salvation comes from hearing and knowing the will of God concerning salvation.
God’s Word reveals God’s will and once we know that, we can have faith for it.
It’s our faith that comes from God through the hearing of his Word, that takes hold of his will for our lives. This is what Jesus meant when he said, “Be it unto you according to your faith”. He’s saying you can access God’s will for your life through faith.
It’s not talking about that you can believe for anything you can think of. It’s talking about you can believe and have faith for everything that’s revealed in the Word as God’s will.
So what does that mean for us? It means we need to seek God, seek his will and find out through his Word what his will is so that we can have faith and use faith to take hold of it for ourselves.
Faith is believing what God says in his Word and acting on his Word.
It’s about live it out and being a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.
