Faith Has to Be Activated. Jesus delivered a spiritual force of faith that you can release through revelation in the Word of God – which will produce in your life the God-quality of living. This spiritual force of faith will not work the same for the passive as it will for the contender – the champion. It is not going to have the same measure of power nor the same expeditious or quick performance for the passive as it would for the contender. Neither is it a faith, but it is the faith; so the definition of how it works must be predominately examined in the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ and the early Church.
If He operated in a faith that worked expeditiously, accelerated and without limits, and then handed that over to men and women – then it is His intention for you to safeguard and keep that faith in your life. Why? Because you cannot live the way God wants you to live without implementing the power that God has given to you. That is why you have chosen not to listen to the pretender and to not just be an attender, but you are an earnest contender.
The Answer to the World
What kind of answer is He? Jesus is the answer for the world, for every problem in the world, for every handicap in the world, for every limitation in the world! Make up your mind to be a contender and not just an attender! We need to demonstrate that greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Who is going to make the right choices and choose to believe that He is the answer?
Whether it's a broken back, whether it's someone in a coma, whether it's a generational experience of object poverty, whether it's a mental disorder, whether it's nations gone amok, whether it's economies that are unstable; it does not matter what the problems are – Jesus is the answer to the world! But in order for that answer to work, faith has to be activated because faith is the access to the mercy of God.
Blind Bartimaeus
There was a man that didn't even own a Bible, couldn't even read, but he had enough sense to know that although he was born blind what he heard about Jesus was the truth. So blind Bartimaeus "began to cry out and say, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!' Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!'" (Mark 10:47-48).
In other words he began to say, "I will not be a pretender. I will not be an attender, but I will be a contender, Jesus Son of David have mercy on me." And he began to shout like a radical. God is not looking for a quiet people, He's not looking for a passive people, He's not looking for an inactive people; He's looking for a radical people that will contend for their miracle in God.
Bartimaeus didn't know; he hadn't even been to one intensified training session. But he had one ounce of sense in him and he knew that, "If the Word is walking by me, if there is someone here with an anointing that said the Spirit is on me, if there is somebody here preaching this message, the answer to the world..."
Be the Contender - Be the Champion
What's the world's problem? Many are either bound up, torn up or in a mess. But if somebody is here (that means you) with the anointing that will take the burden off of their shoulders and the yoke off their neck, like Bartimaeus, they can have enough sense to contend after the reward of what God has.
The day of mocking the Body of Christ is over. There are men and women rising up to raise the dead, heal the sick, cast out devils and invade the world with the most powerful Name! The Name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow of the things in Heaven and earth and under the earth. Stop saying: "Well, let's get down to reality." No! Let's get up to revelation!
How many are not going to sit on the sidelines and allow the enemy to limit you? You are not going to live in repetition; you're the end-time generation of God.
You're going to contend! That means fight for the faith that was delivered for the saint's safekeeping.
Good article however I would like to add my comments about the Messiah and the Heavenly Host the Most High.
They are not looking for a large crowd however a small crowd. The Messiah choose 12 men over a large crowd to teach the Israelites that are part of the elect to walk in the way of the commandments, statutes, and laws given to Israel. The Messiah example was to walk in the word not talk in the word.
The Most High is the creator of all things, good and bad. Therefore if your spirit is bad well it's over because salvation is for the good or the elect.
Blessed it are the "Peace Maker" because ???????????
