00:03 by the friends of the "Amazing Facts" ministry. 00:08 ♪♪♪ 00:14 Doug Batchelor: "For God so loved the world that He gave His 00:16 only begotten Son, that whosoever has faith in Him," 00:21 that's what believeth means. 00:22 So, do you have faith? 00:25 Do you have enough faith? Would you like more faith? 00:27 CC by Aberdeen Captioning www.aberdeen.io 1-800-688-6621 00:31 Doug: "Seven Steps to Stronger Faith," we're going to get 00:35 right to it. 00:38 This is one of the most important things I think that we 00:40 could talk about because faith is essential in being saved. 00:49 Now, when I went to school, I love history, I didn't do so 00:54 well in spelling or English or math or just about every other 01:03 subject, but I did okay in history because I just was 01:09 fascinated with the story of history, of the stories. 01:13 And one of the stories that always fascinated me was the 01:16 story of Hannibal of Carthaginian. 01:20 I actually went to Carthage when I was 16 years old, and on 01:23 a sailboat. 01:24 And Hannibal took an army, well, let me give you the backstory 01:30 first, what made it incredible. 01:31 The Carthaginians, North Africa, were at war with the the rising 01:35 Roman power there in Italy, and Hannibal, who was a very wise 01:41 general, he knew that he could not just cross the Mediterranean 01:45 and attack the boot of Italy like everyone had done. 01:48 All their forces were amassed there. 01:50 And one of the most important elements in a battle is the 01:53 element of surprise, and he thought, "You know, they're not 01:56 going to be guarding their northern border because the 01:58 Italian Alps are up there and they're just never going to be 02:00 expecting an attack from there. 02:02 So I'm going to land my army in Spain, and we will march up 02:06 through the Pyrenees Mountains, we will march through the Alps, 02:12 and we will cross those mountains and attack from 02:17 the north." 02:19 That was a pretty outrageous plan because his army consisted 02:23 of 38,000 infantry, 8,000 calvary and 38 elephants, 02:31 African war elephants. 02:34 Now, I just think it's pretty hard to cross the Alps, but to 02:41 do it with elephants. 02:43 And I always just pictured these quiet little Alpine Italian 02:49 villages, where they're out there, you know, they're taking 02:51 care of their farms and the little herbs and their tulips or 02:54 whatever they did. 02:55 And all of a sudden they heard the trumpet of an elephant and 02:59 they saw an army of elephants come marching through the 03:01 Alpines, that must have been something. 03:05 But he managed to do it, he was able to overcome the mountains, 03:09 which made me think about that statement of Jesus. 03:12 In Matthew 17, verse 20, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you 03:18 have faith as a mustard seed, you'll say to this mountain, 03:22 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will 03:25 be impossible for you," if you have faith. 03:31 Do you have faith? 03:32 You have enough faith? 03:34 Faith is the central, most crucial element in 03:38 our salvation. 03:41 The Bible tells us, "Without faith," in Hebrews 11:6, 03:44 "Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes 03:49 to God must believe that He is, and He is a rewarder of those 03:53 who diligently seek Him." 03:54 Faith can be achieved by diligently seeking after Him, 03:58 but you must come in faith. 04:01 You think about it, and there were two people straddling Jesus 04:05 on the cross, two thieves, one on the right, one on the left. 04:08 The Bible is very clear that one called out for salvation and he 04:16 was saved, the other called out and he is not saved. 04:21 The difference between the two thieves is one thief began his 04:24 prayer with "If"; he didn't have faith. 04:29 He said, "If you are the Son of God, save Yourself and us." 04:32 Jesus had no promise of salvation for him. 04:35 The other one said, "Lord, save me when You come into Your 04:38 kingdom," it was a prayer of faith. 04:40 He will be saved. 04:41 Two kinds of people, saved and lost; two kinds of prayers, 04:45 prayer of faith and one that lacks faith. 04:48 And Jesus asked the question, "When the Son of Man comes," you 04:51 know what He says? 04:53 "Will He find faith in the world?" 04:57 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, 05:00 that whosoever has faith in Him," that's what believeth 05:04 means, "Whoever has faith in Him will not perish but have 05:08 everlasting life." 05:11 You may also want to remember Matthew 13:58. 05:15 When Jesus went to His hometown, the Bible says He did very 05:19 few miracles. 05:20 You know why? 05:22 'Cause they didn't have faith. 05:23 "Because of their unbelief, He did not do many mighty 05:26 works there." 05:27 Very simple: more faith, more mighty works; little faith, 05:33 little mighty works. 05:35 If you want to see more of the power of God in your life, we 05:38 need more faith. 05:39 So, that just introduces the seven steps, and this won't be 05:44 long, it's not going to be hard. 05:46 Well, I say that, sometimes I don't keep my promise, but 05:49 shouldn't be long. 05:51 Step number one, the Word. 05:54 Everything else we're going to read about, the other steps, is 05:56 based on the Word so I thought I'd start with the Word. 05:59 But if you want more faith, you need to spend time in the Word. 06:01 Here's the promise, Romans 10:17, "So then faith comes by 06:07 hearing, and hearing by the word of God." 06:12 Maybe you heard about this blind man named Bartimaeus, and he 06:15 heard that Jesus was coming by and so he called out, "Son of 06:19 David, have mercy on me." 06:22 And the crowd told him, "Be quiet," but he would not be 06:26 quiet, he called even more, "Son of David, have mercy on me." 06:29 Now, it's interesting that Jesus had just come away from the 06:31 religious leaders that didn't really believe Jesus was the 06:34 Messiah, but this blind man, even though he can't see, he 06:38 believes the Word that he hears and he says, "That's the Son 06:42 of David." 06:43 And so he is brought to Jesus not based on what he sees, he's 06:47 brought to Jesus based on what he hears, and Christ is able to 06:50 open his eyes. 06:52 You know how sin entered the world? 06:55 What's the first question in the Bible? 07:00 "Hath God said?" 07:03 The first question is the devil questioning the Word of God, 07:08 doubting the Word; he was trying to plant that doubt in the minds 07:12 of our first parents. 07:14 And so sin entered the world through a lack of faith in 07:19 God's Word. 07:20 The more faith we have in God's Word, God's Word will keep you 07:24 from sin or sin will keep you from God's Word, that's kind of 07:27 how it works. 07:28 You read it, you'll be convicted, you'll either change 07:30 your behavior or you'll stop reading it, kind of like the man 07:34 who really enjoyed rice and then one day he got a microscope and 07:39 he looked at his rice under a microscope and we saw that that 07:43 rice was crawling with all kinds of very small bacteria. 07:47 And so though he didn't know what to do so he broke the 07:49 microscope because he liked his rice. 07:54 People who are convicted by the Word either need to give up 07:58 their sin or they start giving up the Word. 08:00 By the way, it's also true with church, church will keep you 08:03 from sin or sin will keep you from church. 08:08 So we need to read the Word. 08:09 Jesus said in Matthew 4:4, "Man shall not live by bread alone, 08:13 but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God." 08:17 So, you want to grow your faith? 08:19 Spend time in the Word, spend time in the Word every day, have 08:23 scheduled time. 08:25 You're driving in your car, you can put it in a CD or on your 08:29 iPod or whatever. 08:30 They got so many different ways you can listen in your car to 08:34 the Bible right now, you can do it through your phone, you can 08:37 do it through a little SD card, you can do it through a USB, you 08:40 can do it through the radio or a CD if your car still has one. 08:44 Any one still have a cassette player in their car? 08:46 I see a few, yeah, I got some cassettes I'd like to share with 08:50 you, sister. 08:53 So listen to the Word, then pray, number two is pray, in 08:56 building your faith. 08:58 James 5:15, "And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and 09:04 the Lord will raise him up. 09:05 If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." 09:07 Through prayers of faith, things happen. 09:10 You pray big prayers, what will happen to your faith? 09:14 Gets bigger. 09:16 How many of you, you've prayed a prayer and then you see an 09:19 answer to your prayer, and what happens? 09:21 Your faith gets stronger. 09:23 Just this week, I lost a key to the car. 09:26 Now, you know the keys to the new cars are more expensive. 09:29 The old days you just go get a copy made, cost you $2; now it's 09:33 like $145 to replace one of these keys, and so I was 09:37 really praying. 09:38 It wasn't a little key prayer, it was a big key prayer. 09:43 And I knew I'd brought it home from the health club and I 09:47 looked all over and I went through the laundry and I was 09:51 digging around. 09:52 You ever looking for something, you check your pockets three 09:55 times, you think, "Maybe I missed it the other two times," 09:58 and you just keep going back? 09:59 And I was digging around, I was digging around, then I realized 10:01 it was garbage day. 10:03 I thought, "Maybe it fell out of my pants." 10:06 I don't know how it happened but I said, "You know, wouldn't it 10:08 be awful if it was in the garbage?" 10:10 And the garbage is out in front of the house and we'd already 10:12 thrown all the garbage in there. 10:15 And so I thought--I went out and started digging through the 10:18 garbage thinking, "Did it fall in there?" 10:19 I didn't go to the bottom, I thought, "It's just not worth 10:21 it, I'll pay $145 before I do that." 10:26 So finally, I thought, "Well, I'm searching, I'm frantic. 10:29 Pray." 10:30 So it wasn't long after I prayed, I found my key. 10:33 It was in the car, it had fallen down, it had fallen down between 10:40 the seat and the shifter thing. 10:43 So when you pray--and then what happened to my faith? 10:45 After you pray and you find it, "Prayer works, look at that, I 10:48 ought to do it more often." 10:50 So pray more, pray big prayers, don't just pray for yourself, 10:54 pray for others, and you'll see. 10:57 Keep a log. 10:59 Do you ever write down when God answers your prayer? 11:01 Make a little log of it, write it down, and then it'll refresh 11:06 your faith as you look back at how many times God has answered 11:09 your prayers over the course of your life. 11:11 I've got a prayer list in my computer. 11:14 When I do my worship in the morning, I have a little prayer 11:17 list and I write things down. 11:18 And over the years, I've checked off those answers, I delete them 11:22 and then I add new ones. 11:23 And I thought, Man, I shouldn't be deleting them, I ought to 11:25 save them, all the answered prayers that God has performed. 11:30 "Have faith in God. 11:33 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 11:37 'Be removed and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his 11:40 heart, but believes that those things that he says will be 11:43 done, he will have whatever he says. 11:46 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, 11:50 believe that you'll receive them, and you will 11:52 receive them." 11:54 Well, that just--you read that and you think, "That can't 11:56 actually mean that." 11:57 It may not mean the part about praying the mountain moves 12:00 because most of us don't need to move mountains, it's mountains 12:03 of sin. 12:05 The Bible tells us that you can say to a mountain, "Be cast into 12:08 the depths of the sea," and it will be done, it's the mountain 12:10 of sin we-- 12:11 and God says he casts our sins into the sea, that he 12:15 deals with. 12:17 "Therefore whatever you ask when you receive, believe that you 12:20 receive them, and you will have them." 12:23 Well, it's pretty clear that you pray in faith, and He says, "All 12:27 things are possible with God." 12:29 So don't ever put any doubts on what the Lord is able to do. 12:35 male announcer: Don't forget to request today's life-changing 12:37 free resource. 12:38 Not only can you receive this free gift in the mail, you can 12:41 download a digital copy straight to your computer or 12:43 mobile device. 12:44 To get your copy of today's free gift, simply call us and ask for 12:48 the offer number shown on your screen, or visit the web address 12:52 and download a digital copy and be sure to select the Digital 12:56 Download option on the Request page. 12:58 It's now easier than ever for you to study God's Word with 13:01 "Amazing Facts" wherever and whenever you want, and most 13:05 important, to share it with others. 13:09 Doug Batchelor: All right, read the Bible, pray, step out in 13:14 faith, act upon the faith that you have, don't wait until you 13:18 know that all obstacles are removed. 13:20 Real faith is taking that step of faith. 13:22 It's kind of like when Jesus came to the disciples and they 13:26 were out that night rowing against the wind on the waves of 13:29 Galilee, and Jesus was walking on the water and Peter said, 13:34 "Lord, if that's you, bid that I come to You on the water." 13:36 Jesus said, "Come." 13:40 At some point, Peter must've believed that he could come to 13:44 the Lord, and all it was was the word of Jesus that said, "Come 13:46 to Me." 13:48 Peter had to take that first step, he had to step out of the 13:51 security of the boat into the storm, and when he did that, the 13:58 water became firm under his feet and he was able to do 14:01 the impossible. 14:02 As long as he kept his eyes on Jesus, he was able to walk 14:05 on water. 14:07 But at some point along the way, Peter--I just think, I can't 14:10 prove this, but I think he was wondering, "Are my friends 14:13 getting this on their iPhone? 14:15 No one's ever going to believe this, I want to stream 14:17 this live." 14:19 And he looked around to say, "Hey guys, you getting this?" 14:21 But when he took his eyes off Jesus, then he saw the waves and 14:26 his faith began to sink. 14:27 And what happened to him? 14:29 He began to sink with it, till he turned back to Jesus and said 14:33 the shortest prayer in the Bible, "Lord--" 14:35 actually, there's a shorter prayer: Peter's prayer was, 14:37 "Lord, save me"; Jehoshaphat actually said, "Lord, help," 14:41 that was all he said. 14:42 God answered his prayer. 14:45 So you got to take a step. 14:47 James 1:22, "Be doers of the word, not hearers only." 14:51 People say, "I believe, I believe," and never do anything 14:53 about it. 14:54 It's like the pastor who called his church together and said, 14:56 "Let's have a prayer meeting for this drought." 14:58 They were having a terrible drought there in Georgia. 15:02 And folks came, and right away the pastor looked around and 15:06 said, "All right, prayer meeting's over, we'll see 15:08 you Sunday." 15:09 They say, "Wait, you told us to come and pray about 15:11 the drought." 15:13 He says, "You're not serious about praying. 15:15 If you were serious, you would've brought umbrellas." 15:19 So when you come and you pray for rain, do you bring 15:22 your umbrella? 15:25 You need to take a step of faith. 15:28 Hebrews 11, by the way, if you want to know more about faith, 15:31 read Hebrews 11. 15:33 Hebrews 11, "By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things 15:37 not yet seen, he moved with godly fear." 15:41 He didn't just say, "Yeah, Lord, I believe there's a flood," 15:44 he moved. 15:46 "With godly fear, he prepared an ark to the saving of his 15:49 household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of 15:52 righteousness which is according to faith." 15:55 This is one of the greatest acts in the Bible, one of the 15:57 greatest acts of faith is that Noah used all of his resources 16:02 to build an ark on dry land in a world where it had never rained 16:08 because he trusted God's word. 16:10 And then, you know what the incredible thing is? 16:11 After he did that, it takes a lot of faith to invite two 16:13 termites on the boat. 16:19 It had never rained before and he built a boat. 16:23 So, real faith, at some point, will put the promises of God 16:26 to test. 16:28 You read it, you pray it, then you act upon it, you got to 16:30 step out. 16:31 Someone said, "Faith sees the invisible, believes the 16:35 incredible, receives the impossible." 16:38 I think it was Augustine who said, "Faith is to believe what 16:42 you do not see; the reward of faith is to see what we 16:45 believe," and sometime you'll finally be rewarded with what 16:49 you believe. 16:51 And then, have patience and persistence. 16:55 So when you are praying about something particular, keep in 16:58 mind the eternal perspective, God lives for eternity. 17:01 You might say, "Lord, help me find my keys," and you wonder 17:03 why you don't open your eyes and there are your keys, you might 17:06 have to go search. 17:07 Doesn't Jesus say, "Seek and you'll find"? 17:09 It doesn't mean you've lost faith, you know, combine some 17:12 work with your faith, but it takes persistence. 17:17 Hebrews 6:12, says, "Do not become sluggish, but imitate 17:22 those who through faith and patience, faith and patience, 17:27 inherit the promises." 17:30 Revelation 14:12, "Here is the patience of the saints; here are 17:33 those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus." 17:37 Notice how many times you see these words together. 17:39 Did you catch it? 17:40 Faith, patience. 17:43 "I thought faith means you get what you want right away." 17:46 Faith means you hang on. 17:48 The faithful in the Bible are not just those that get their 17:50 promises answered, they're the ones who waited that extra five 17:54 minutes and they got their promises answered. 17:56 You need to hold on to the promises of God. 17:59 Victorious faith is often more than believing; sometimes, it 18:02 means believing a little longer than everyone else. 18:07 Hebrews 11, "By faith the walls of Jericho fell." 18:10 Did they fall the first time they marched around them or do 18:13 they have to go around them, how many times? 18:16 Thirteen, one time for six days, seven times on 18:21 the seventh day, right? 18:23 And probably about the sixth time on the seventh day, they 18:26 were getting tired, "How many times are we going to march 18:27 around this city?" 18:29 Joshua said, "One more time." 18:31 You've got to keep going. 18:32 So faith--it says the walls fell by faith, but that faith was 18:35 combined with a persistence and patience, as well as obedience. 18:41 Now, you know how your faith grows persistence and patience? 18:46 Through trial. 18:48 So if you say, "Lord, give me more persistent, patient faith," 18:52 you know what you're asking for? 18:54 If you pray for patience, you're asking for delay, because you do 18:58 not learn patience by getting everything right away. 19:00 You know how to ruin a kid? 19:03 Give them everything they want right away. 19:07 They turn eight years old, you give them their own cell phone; 19:09 14, new car. 19:12 You're going to ruin them, aren't you? 19:15 If you want them to appreciate something, you got to make 19:18 them wait. 19:19 So if you say, "Lord, give me tenacity, give me patience," you 19:23 know what you're asking for. 19:26 A young Christian went to an older Christian for help, he 19:28 said, "Would you please pray for me, that I might be 19:29 more patient?" 19:31 He said, "Absolutely, let's kneel together." 19:33 The old man began to pray, "Lord, send this young man 19:35 tribulation in the morning, send him adversity in the afternoon, 19:39 send him trials in the evening." 19:41 And he shook his friend and said, "No, no, no, I didn't ask 19:43 for that, I asked for patience." 19:45 Said, "Ah, it is through tribulation we develop 19:49 patience," that's what the Bible says. 19:52 So do you really want faith? 19:55 Number five, if you want to have stronger faith, associate with 20:00 faithful people. 20:03 Proverbs 13:20, "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but 20:08 the companion of fools will be destroyed." 20:11 Hang around believers and you'll do more believing, amen? 20:16 You want to have more faith and you stay away from church and 20:19 you stay away from prayer meeting, you stay away from 20:21 Christian association, home bible study group? 20:24 Spend more time with Christians. 20:26 Hebrews 6:12, "That you do not become sluggish, but imitate 20:31 those who through faith and patience inherit the promise." 20:34 Now, I've used this verse twice, I want you to notice, 20:36 "Imitate those." 20:37 In order for you to imitate those with faith, you must be 20:39 around people with faith. 20:40 Does that make sense? 20:42 Does it? 20:43 1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul says, "Imitate me, as I 20:48 imitate Christ." 20:49 So follow those who are following Jesus. 20:53 And Matthew 5:14, Christ said, "Let them alone. 20:56 They are blind leaders of the blind. 20:58 And if the blind lead the blind, they'll both fall in the ditch." 21:02 Follow those who know where they're going, that have faith. 21:05 So stay positive, there's going to be difficulties, but look at 21:09 those difficulties as opportunities to strengthen 21:12 your faith. 21:14 You know, on any given day here in Northern California, you got 21:17 a couple of different birds that are flying around. 21:21 One of them is the vulture and the other one's a hummingbird. 21:24 Their both birds, they both fly, they both live in the same 21:26 neighborhood, but they've got very different attitudes. 21:30 The vulture is flying around, it is looking for some poor bunny 21:33 that got run over by a car and they want to eat something dead. 21:39 They're looking for that which stinketh, they're looking for 21:43 that has no future. 21:46 And then you've got the hummingbird flying over the same 21:49 country but it is not looking for dead skunks, it's looking 21:53 for bright blossoms and sweet nectar that is the promise of 21:58 new fruit. 22:01 There's two kinds of people out there, you got buzzards and you 22:03 get hummingbirds; don't hang out with the buzzards. 22:08 You sit there--they're the ones that, you know, you're talking 22:10 to them and say, "It's a beautiful day," and they say, 22:12 "Yeah, but you know, it's going to flood," or, "Everything's 22:15 going to dry out now." 22:17 And it just, everything is always got to be negative, 22:19 they're just contesting anything positive. 22:20 If you want to have more faith, find out people that have faith, 22:24 hang out with them, 'cause that kind of faith can be contagious. 22:29 And finally point seven, your faith will grow as you give it 22:34 away; share your faith. 22:37 Faith does not grow because it has come to you, faith grows 22:42 because it goes through you; faith is for giving away. 22:49 Tell others what God has done for you. 22:52 1 Timothy 4:16, "Take heed to yourself into the doctrine. 22:58 Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself 23:02 and those who hear you." 23:03 You are saving yourself as you share your faith with others. 23:09 Daniel 12:3, "Those who are wise will shine Like the brightness 23:13 of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like 23:16 the stars forever and ever." 23:18 Turning others to righteousness. 23:21 You want to be able to share your faith. 23:23 Are you part of a home study group? 23:24 Get part of one, invite others to your home, some of the other 23:27 believers and then you can invite guests. 23:29 Doesn't have to have a lot of people, you know, three or four, 23:33 "Two or three gathered in my name, I'm there." 23:35 Have a small study group, get together, have deliberate times 23:38 to share your faith with others, look for opportunities wherever 23:42 you go. 23:43 Kind of neat, yesterday, I went to get a Subway sandwich. 23:45 Now, you can't always do what I do, because as soon as I walked 23:49 in the store, the guy's making sandwiches there, he says, "I 23:51 just saw you on TV." 23:54 That doesn't always happen, it's neat when it happens so it's 23:56 kind of neat, 'course I had my "Amazing Facts" hat on. 23:59 And he's serving two ladies and they're looking at me going, 24:04 "How'd that happen? 24:06 How'd you end up on TV?" 24:07 And I said, "Well, I'm a pastor in the area," and we weren't too 24:12 far away from Sierra College, I said, "You know that church 24:14 that's going up on top of the hill?" 24:15 "Yeah." 24:16 Said, "That's where we're going to be, we'd like to have you 24:18 when we open, come visit us." 24:21 And so I was encouraged when I went away. 24:24 Every time you get an opportunity to say something to 24:26 someone else about Jesus, as small as you might think it is. 24:30 I've got a friend writing a book right now, I haven't seen 24:33 the book yet but it's a great title, it's called, "60-Second 24:37 Evangelism: How to do Evangelism in a Minute." 24:41 I thought, that's great, because, you know, some of the 24:42 best evangelism can happen in a minute. 24:44 Everybody can do something, amen? 24:48 So finally, as we're talking about what you can do to grow 24:51 your faith, I don't want to make it sound like it depends on you. 24:56 Jesus said the disciples had small faith, yet He saved them. 24:59 Why? 25:01 because He is faithful, His mercies are new every day. 25:04 I'm so thankful for His faithfulness. 25:07 Now, you know where we really need the faith? 25:10 Is we need to have faith that God can save us from our sins 25:13 and that He can give us power to have victory, to be new 25:15 creatures, to be born again. 25:18 Isn't that your desire?
