Welcome to Victorious Faith. We believe you will be blessed, encouraged, and receive fresh faith to begin your day as you listen to today’s message with international missionary and Bible teacher, Cherry Campbell.
SPEAKER 02 :
Good morning. Praise the Lord. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherry Campbell. This morning I’m going to continue sharing with you the lesson I began sharing with you last week that I preached in a class called The Kingdom of God. And this is lesson 12 in that series, A Summary of the Spiritual Law of Faith. And I preached this message in the Pacific Islands of Micronesia. So join me now in our live service for the continuation of lesson 12, a summary of the spiritual law of faith. The seed of healing is in the word. The seed. You know, Jesus said that everything operates by sowing and reaping. Everything works in the kingdom by sowing and reaping. The kingdom of God operates by sowing and reaping. What does that mean? Everything is produced from a seed. Everything is produced from a seed. And everything grows the same way a seed grows. You have to water it. You have to stand and wait and be patient. And then you harvest it. So everything you need comes from a seed. Your healing comes from a seed. And the seed is the Word of God. The healing promise is the healing seed. that will produce a healing in your body. Prosperity promises are the prosperity seeds that will produce prosperity in your life. Protection promises are seeds for protection that will protect your life. A lot of people think, well, God just let me have that car accident. It was not God’s will for you to have a car accident. He gave the word. He says, He delivers us from all harm. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. Though a thousand fall at my side, ten thousand at my right hand. What’s that? Eleven thousand people. A thousand at my side, ten thousand at my right hand. There’s eleven thousand people are dead. It will not come near me. Psalm 91. You have to believe it though. You have to add your faith to it. Lord, you said even if 11,000 are fallen dead all around me, it will not come near me. And you say it’s not going to come near my house. It will not come near my family. It will not come near my vehicle, my property. It will not come near anything I own. The swine flu… it will not come near me. It will not come in our house. It will not come to our children. It will not come on our property. It will not. A thousand may fall out there with swine flu, but it will not come near us. He protects us and He delivers us from every evil. Amen. You’ve got to believe it. But where do you get it from? From the Word of God. The Word is the seed that will produce faith for your prosperity, for your healing, and also for your protection. You can be protected from every weapon. Isaiah 54, 17. No weapon formed against me shall prevail. No gun. No knife blade. No terrorist bomb. No tongue. No swine flu. No common flu. Formed against me will prevail. Those are weapons that the devil uses and the wicked use against us to bring us hurt and to steal, kill, and destroy in our lives. But we’ve got to stand up and say no. No weapon formed against me and my family shall prevail. This sickness cannot come in here. The weapons cannot come in here. I’m not afraid of a terrorist bomb. I’m not afraid of getting on an airplane and being hijacked. Why? Because I hijacked the plane. When I get on it, I hijack it. In the name of Jesus, this airplane is now under the authority of God Almighty. It is carrying me safely to my destination and nothing shall stop it in Jesus’ name. Amen. I will arrive safely on the other side. I take authority over that airplane. And no harm will come near me. I have to operate this way. You know, God’s promises are not automatic. They don’t just automatically happen because God said it. Faith is what activates it. Faith is what brings it into your life. Otherwise, why is not everybody saved? It is God’s will for all to be saved. But being saved has to be received by faith. Why would it be any different than for healing? Why would it be different for protection? Yes, I had to be saved by faith, but now I don’t need any more faith now that I’m saved. Now God will just do it all Himself. Uh-uh. The just shall what? Live. How? By faith. Do you know living is daily? That’s the thing about living. Living is just very, very daily. The problem with life is it’s daily. It’s daily. But how then shall we live by faith? Then living by faith means daily. It’s not going to automatically happen to you. Prosperity doesn’t just automatically fall on you. Healing doesn’t automatically fall on you. Protection from sickness or disease or disaster or accident doesn’t automatically fall. It is only received when you take it and you lay hold. I receive that in Jesus’ name by faith. And now I say with my mouth, it will not come near me. No harm will come near me. Or you say, in Jesus’ name, I receive my healing. How do you lay hold of something with your tongue? Your heart believes it, but your tongue lays hold. It’s like your tongue is the sickle or the bush knife that harvests. the grain in the field, the corn in the field. You have a knife out there and you’re swinging and cutting down the grains or the grasses or whatever. It’s a knife. It’s your tongue that’s the knife. I receive my healing in Jesus’ name. Amen. Let’s go back to Mark 11. We’ll just look at these couple verses here. Verse 22 said, have the faith of God. Well, now he’s going to explain how does the faith of God work. How does it work? What is it? It’s different than what you think. So now in 23 and 24, he’s telling us what it is and how it works. He says, I tell you the truth. If anyone says to this mountain, go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says… will happen it will be done for him therefore I tell you whatever you ask for in prayer believe that you have received it and it will be yours I want to start with verse 24 therefore I tell you whatever you ask for who asks who should ask me that means you don’t ask the pastor to ask A lot of Christians are going to the pastor, Pastor, please pray. Will you please pray for this? Will you please pray for that? That’s a baby Christian. A baby Christian cannot feed himself. Very much just like in the natural. That little baby cannot feed himself, he has to be fed. He cannot walk, he has to be carried. He cannot change his own diaper, he has to be changed. When he falls down, somebody has to pick him up. He can do nothing for himself, he’s powerless. That’s the characteristic of a baby. Same with the baby Christian. A baby Christian has to be fed, has to be carried on your face, has to be picked up every time he falls down. He can’t even get up himself. He has to be helped. He has to be cleaned up in every way. Just like a physical baby. A sign of growing up spiritually is when you start doing for yourself what other people used to do for you. I’ll say that again. A sign of growing up spiritually is when you begin to do for yourself what other people used to do for you. That means you begin to feed yourself on the Word. You feed your faith. You don’t wait for the pastor to feed it. You pray for your needs. You don’t wait for somebody else to pray. When you get down, you encourage yourself and you stand up yourself. You know, that’s what David said. All his fighting men were ready to kill him. And he encouraged himself in the Lord. Nobody else picked him up. He was feeling pretty low. He was saying, Oh God, everybody wants to kill me. I might as well die. But he stood up and he picked himself up and he said, I will yet believe. I will yet trust in the Lord. You know, a lot of those Psalms were written in the darkest area of his life. He was hiding in a dark, wet cave from Saul when he said, the Lord is my light. He was sitting in darkness, surrounded by darkness, hiding from Saul for his life. And as he’s hiding in a dark, wet cave, he says, The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. I will not fear. When an army besiege me, I will not be afraid. Though war break out against me, even then I will not fear. He was in hiding for his life when he said those words. He encouraged himself in the Lord. What do you do when you’re down? Stay down? Wait for somebody else to come cheer you up? Learn how to cheer yourself up. Learn how to stand up on your feet and say, I will not fear. I will not doubt. I will not be discouraged. My God will be my light. He will be my Savior. He will get me through this. I will not be defeated. The only way you can be defeated is if you quit. If you quit, if you lay down and give up, then it’s over. But if you keep standing and holding on to your faith and say, I will not give up. I will not quit. I will believe God. I will come out of this. You will walk out into the light and into the victory and you will see the victory that you’re believing for.
SPEAKER 01 :
Hallelujah. Amen.
SPEAKER 02 :
Hallelujah. Praise Him. Hallelujah. Amen. But you’ve got to believe God. Glory to God. Whatever you ask for, don’t wait for somebody else to ask, you ask. In prayer, you believe that you have received it. When do you believe that you receive? Now, when you ask, when you pray. Believe that you have. Have is past tense. Have means it’s already done. You have already received. Believe that you have already received. When? When you ask. Before you see it in your hand, before you see your body change, you believe that you have already received it. And then it will be yours. See? You’re believing it before you see it and then you see it. It produces what you are believing. So you believe it and then you will have it. But you believe that you already have it. I already have the $50. Thank you, Father. I’ve already got it. Where is it? I don’t know, but I’ve got it. You know, some people say you’re crazy. Well, where is it? I don’t know, but I’ve got it. Amen. I don’t know, but I’ve got it. It’s mine. I have it. It’s mine. Amen. Okay, let’s go back to verse 23. I tell you the truth. If anyone… Who’s anyone? Who is anyone? Us. Say, anyone means me. Say, anyone means me. That means me. That doesn’t mean the pastor. It means me. If anyone says to this mountain, what is the mountain? It’s the problem. Exactly. It’s the problem. It’s the need. What do you do to the mountain? Talk about the mountain? Tell your friends about the problem? tell God about the problem oh God I got such a problem oh God please help you know God that I need your help oh we have such a big problem God oh God we need money we need money we need money oh we need $100 Lord you know we need $100 Lord and then you go tell your friends you know Amy I really need $100 where am I going to get $100 is that what it says to do It doesn’t say talk to God about the mountain. It doesn’t say talk to your friends about the mountain. It says talk to the mountains. What you just heard was a continuation of lesson 12 that I taught in a class called The Kingdom of God. And this lesson 12 is a summary of the spiritual law of faith, which I preached in a service in the Pacific Islands of Micronesia. And we will continue this lesson again tomorrow. So join me again tomorrow. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
