We Must Act

Acting on Faith

Faith is our thing hoped for.  How does that thing come to pass if we are not doing anything to get what we hope for?  We must act on faith.  Faith is some thing you do, not something you think. First you hope for the thing then you act on God’s Word to make it come to pass.  By faith all things came to be.  Matthew 7:24 says“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”  We need to learn how to act on what God is telling us to do.  God’s word tells us to be fruitful, not that some could be fruitful, but that all of us should be fruitful.  So then, we speak it into our lives and we live that thing out.  Lets say God tells you to start a business, then you get His Word and then you act on it. Like in Psalms 1:3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.  If God has you starting a business then that is where you should be planted.  Then he tells you that in what ever you do, you will prosper.  Hoping for the business is not faith it is the beginning of faith.  Acting on it is faith.  How would you act on it?  You start the business.  This goes for everything in your life.  We must be doers of the Word.  Prayer and meditation is the beginning of hearing from God.  God will give you all the answers.  He is not the god of confusion or disorder, because that would be the devil (1 Corinthians 14:33). God gives us the wisdom we need to never fail in life (James 1:5-8). 

Here are some other scriptures that talk about acting on faith:
