The Lord has been dealing with me much about the importance of living by divine faith. It is not enough to use divine faith on occasion. If you are justified before God and you want to make the Rapture, you must live by it.

No preacher, family member or friend can live by faith for you. It is your responsibility to live by your own measures of faith. If you don’t take that responsibility, you will regret it in the end.

Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me (Jeremiah 32:27)? It’s up to you to determine for yourself whether or not there is anything too hard for God. He can do a great work and a quick work, but it takes Him time to get things and people ready. When God has everything ready, nothing is too hard for Him. It is people who are the hindrance.

The only times things are too hard for God is if you make it too hard. That happens when you doubt His love and care for you. It happens when you choose to live in your feelings and not by faith because it allows fear, despair, depression and oppression to take control of your mind. Those things will come to your mind when troubling circumstances arise, but will you choose to live in your feelings and allow them to take control?

The Bible declares, For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). As a child of God, you must be careful never to leave the realm of divine faith because that will cause you to sink down into human faith, which is unstable and wavering. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth [uses his human faith] is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord (James 1:6,7). Only divine faith will please God and cause Him to go into operation for you.

Choose God

If you are a child of God, you serve a God who boldly declares, All things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). However, you must choose to believe and put your complete trust in God and His promises.

God gave each of us the power of free choice. He never forced you to go to Calvary to receive a born-again experience; you willingly went as His Spirit was drawing you, and you surrendered your sinful soul to Him. Then by His Holy Spirit, He made you a new creature through the divine blood of Jesus. Salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). You must decide daily how much trust you will put in the Lord and what you will allow Him to do for you. Will you hinder the Lord and tie His hands by choosing to lean to your own understanding, or will you put complete trust in Him knowing He loves and cares for you and will never withhold any good thing from you regardless of the circumstances you face?

Don’t Use Little Faith

Before the creation of man, God had no limitations put on Him. He had complete liberty to do great and mighty works according to His will. God divided light from darkness. He spoke the sun, the moon and the billions of stars into existence; and He named every one of them. He created the Earth and the seas and all living creatures.

When you serve the great God of the universe, He seeks to give you His divine faith; and it never falters or fails. If you choose to live in weak, human faith, you will have a hard time making it through life because God won’t be able to do very much for you. What He will be able to do will be completely by His grace.

When things seem hard, most of the time it’s because you make it hard. Not only do you make it hard on yourself; you make it hard on divinity. Jesus’ disciples had a lot of trouble with using what Jesus identified as little faith. Read the Gospels and notice the many times Jesus rebuked them for using little faith. Instead of trusting Jesus and yielding to whatever He told them, they were always asking, “How can this be? How can that be?” They could not relate to divinity.

Jesus warned the disciples again and again that the Son of Man would be betrayed into the hands of sinners, be crucified and then rise again. Jesus plainly told them He would come out of the tomb the third day, yet none of them were there to witness one of the greatest events in the history of mankind. I’m sure they must have regretted that for the rest of their days on Earth.

Know the End Is Near

I’m sure we would all have many regrets if the Lord were to take us back in our walk with Him and show us what we missed out on because of our doubt and unbelief and because of living in the realm of human faith. Those things prevent divinity from reasoning with us.

Divine faith and human faith speak different languages. They cannot reason with one another. That is why there may be times when you are facing difficult circumstances or trying situations, and the Heavens seem like brass—God is nowhere to be found. Many times, it’s because you’re living in the realm of human faith and trying to reason with the God of divine faith. That never works.

Would you have been in the garden where Christ’s tomb was on the morning of His resurrection? If you were living by divine faith, you would have; but there’s another great event about to take place in the near future called the Rapture. Just as Jesus warned His disciples of His death and resurrection, He is warning His disciples of today through the Word and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus told of the end-time signs we are to look for in Matthew 24, and all of those signs are being fulfilled today. The Spirit is urging us ever onward to bring in the harvest. Jesus said, Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh (Matthew 24:42,44). Jesus is coming for those who are watching for Him and expecting Him.

Can you see those warning signs all around you, or are you living by weak, human faith just as the disciples were in Jesus’ day? If your mind is continually divided and you are engrossed in the cares of this life, you are not comprehending just how close to the end we are or what the Word of God is telling you. You must take heed, or you will miss the one flight out; and that will be a regret you will have to live with for eternity.

Take Your Burdens to the Lord

Jesus brought everything we need to be victorious in life, and He made things simple for us. Even His Gospel is so simple that the Bible declares a child would not err in it. There was a time when God winked at ignorance, but not anymore. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent (Acts 17:30).

Jesus took on the fashion of a man and came to Earth to show us how to live and use all He brought. He took on a human mind, yet divinity operated in perfection through Him by the power of the Holy Ghost. Because Jesus walked on this Earth as a man, He knows all about your troubles and trials. He understands your heartaches and disappointments. That’s why He gives the great invitation, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).

That invitation is open all the time to whosoever will with no limitations or parameters placed on it, but you must accept it. You must willingly give your burdens to the Lord and trust Him to take care of them, but many people still don’t trust Him after all He has done. Jesus sacrificed everything and even gave His life, yet some children of God will not trust the Lord with all of their burdens. Why do you want to make life more difficult than it already is?

Come to Jesus and find rest. Learn to sit and live at His feet. There you will find answers to your questions, solutions to your problems, healing for your heartache and rest for your body, mind and soul.

Divine Faith Brings Miracles

The Bible tells of a man who took his epileptic son to the disciples for help, but they could not help him. The man then took the boy to Jesus and said, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit₀I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not (Mark 9:17,18). When Jesus saw the boy, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming (Mark 9:20). Then the father said, If thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us (Mark 9:22).

That man was ready to settle for just some sympathy from the Lord, but Jesus was not willing for him to do that; and Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief (Mark 9:23,24).

When Jesus got that man to yield to his measure of divine faith, the boy was instantly healed. And the child was cured from that very hour (Matthew 17:18). Jesus is no longer on Earth to communicate verbally with us and compel us to come out of our doubt and yield to divine faith, so how many times have you been robbed of miracles and blessings? How many times have you settled for less than what the Lord was offering you?

Your Measure of Divine Faith

The Word of God tells us, God hath dealt to every man [woman, boy and girl] the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). But God will not give you a second measure, a third measure or more if you’re not using your first measure. If you don’t value that measure of faith enough to yield to it and live by it, why should He give you any more just to have them go to waste?

The Word of God instructs us to go from faith to faith, yet some Christians declare they have no faith when trying circumstances arise; but Romans 12:3 contradicts that. That measure of divine faith is in you, so never let self or the devil make you think it’s not there.

You never could have made your way to Calvary if you didn’t have that measure of divine faith. It had to go into operation for you to believe that the Son of God came to Earth 2000 years ago, died and rose again. You had to use it to believe that, through the blood, you could receive the greatest miracle of all—the miracle of salvation—and be made new. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (II Corinthians 5:17). Human faith cannot transform a person. Only divine faith in the blood of Jesus can do that.

Make sure you stay full of the Holy Ghost and live in the realm of divine faith so when troubles come your way or sickness strikes, the Holy Spirit will be able to lead you from faith to faith. That is not faith to fear, faith to feelings or faith to doubt and mind battles. When you are under the leadership and control of the Holy Spirit, you will never step outside of the realm of divine faith.

Live in Divine Faith

Divine faith must be in operation in your life for you to please God and receive from Him. How often have children of God not been prepared to face the storms of life and walk the waters with Jesus because they were not full of the Holy Ghost and living in the realm of divine faith? Many Christians deceive themselves. You can’t go from faith to faith if you are not living in the realm of divine faith to begin with.

When problems surface in your life, that is not the time to check and see if you are living in divine faith. You have to know you are living there before trouble comes. Then you can face them and be victorious over anything that comes your way.

Divine faith is your victory over this world. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (I John 5:4). So you had better make sure you are living in divine faith all the time. Then no matter how long it takes for the victory to come, it will happen because God cannot lie or fail.

How consistent is your divine faith? Do you get answers on occasion and other times you don’t? Maybe that is because you are up and down between human faith and divine faith, and that hinders God from answering your prayers. Many Christians make things so hard because they have the bad habit of going from divine faith to human faith. They are not yielded to the Spirit, so their human faith is in operation much more than their divine faith is.

Through difficult circumstances, some people will reach that climax of being full of the Holy Ghost and living in divine faith. God moves for them and answers their prayer, but then they settle back and begin to take on the weights Paul talked about in Hebrews 12:1. They may not be sinful, but they are of the world. They could include things like playing video games, sports, television, texting and on it goes. Weights are things that take your mind away from the Lord and keep your vessel from being full of the Holy Ghost.

Expect to Receive

When you put other things and people ahead of the Holy Spirit, that brings trouble. It may seem innocent at the time, but it shows up later when trouble comes or you have a great need. You have to put God first all the time to be able to please Him and to get God moving for you. Now the just shall live by faith (Hebrews 10:38).

Things become difficult when people think they are using divine faith when they are not. That ties God’s hands. They don’t understand why God is not moving, and they become confused. Many times, people receive prayer looking for just a touch from the Lord rather than expecting a miracle. They are just going through the motions, so what are they really receiving? Why limit God? Why not be made whole?

In the Gospels, we read of what Jesus did when He ministered to people. And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole (Mark 6:56).

In the Early Church, when Peter, Paul and John prayed for people, they were made whole; and that was it. The process of receiving from the Lord shouldn’t be drawn out on and on, prayer after prayer. You must set your time to receive.

It’s time to be like the woman with the issue of blood who said, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole (Matthew 9:21). She set her time, and she was determined. She knew the Word of God in the flesh, and she acted on it. That’s what divine faith is—believing what God said and acting on it.

Some people will get prayer and receive a miracle, but they won’t hold on to it through divine faith. But without faith it is impossible to please him (Hebrews 11:6). When faith is not in operation, you’re not pleasing God; and when you don’t please God, you’re subject to lose whatever He gave you.

Just One Measure Moves Mountains

Jesus said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20). I am sure everybody’s measure is greater than the size of a mustard seed, so why aren’t more mountains being moved?

You must examine these things within yourself and understand the potential God seeks for His Bride and the work she is to do for Him. When you come up short in anything, don’t ask people, don’t ask yourself and certainly don’t ask the devil. Go to the Word and examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith (II Corinthians 13:5). If you have even just one measure of divine faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains of sickness, trouble and despair; and you can defeat all demonic armies by the power of the Holy Ghost.

You don’t operate your measure of faith; the Holy Ghost does. You couldn’t even explain to me how to release your faith or how to operate divine faith because you don’t do it. Even the Bible doesn’t explain it because it’s the person of the Holy Spirit’s duty to operate divine faith through you and to release that faith. Your duty is to be a yielded vessel 24 hours a day. The Holy Spirit must have complete liberty and freedom to work and operate.

The Soil of Your Soul

Children of God, you have your measure of faith. That seed is there, so don’t neglect it. That seed of faith must be planted deep within your soul so the Holy Ghost can bring it forth from your innermost being to be used. The Bible tells us there are nine fruits of the Holy Spirit. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law (Galatians 5:22,23). Is the fruit of divine faith being produced in your life? It depends on the type of soil you have in your soul.

A farmer will tell you that the soil determines the kind of fruit that will come forth from that ground. Child of God, have you prepared an Eden for the Lord within you? Is your mind yielded to the Holy Spirit? Do you continually nurture your mind with the six things mentioned in Philippians 4:8? Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; [That’s the fertilizer for the soil.] if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8).

Is the Eden in your soul a place where the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit can commune with you daily just as they did with the first Adam? How often do you go a day without prayer or without even thinking about the Lord? Paul said, Pray without ceasing (I Thessalonians 5:17). That means you are to have your mind stayed upon the Lord so you can dart a prayer at any time.

Stay Connected to God

You must always be connected to divinity. You can’t be caught up with this, that and the other and have your mind totally blocked from the Lord. Are there weeds in your Eden that are choking out what little spiritual fruit may be there? Is your mind littered with the cares of life, the things of this world, imaginations and mind battles? The Holy Spirit must be able to flow divine faith from your soul into your mind, but He can’t do that unless your mind is yielded to divinity. That’s when the Holy Spirit can go into operation for you at a moment’s notice.

The Holy Spirit is a patient worker, and He will keep trying to deal with you; but He cannot unclog the channel from your soul to your mind. It’s your responsibility to keep that direct line to divinity open, to keep your mind stayed upon divinity. You are responsible for the Eden in your mind.

The only way to keep your soil rich and filled with divine fruit and to keep your mind a place where divinity can fellowship and reason with you is through prayer, fasting, studying God’s Word and taking on the ingredients that made up the mind of Christ. Then you must keep those ingredients active on a daily basis, not just while you are in church.

God Rewards Diligent Seekers

For he that cometh to God [for salvation, miracles, problems, needs to be supplied, troubles and trials or anything else] must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6). Again, you don’t diligently seek the Lord when trouble hits. You must seek Him as a way of life so when trouble does come, He will reward you with answers; and deliverance will take place.

Are you diligent concerning the things of God all the time or just when troubles come? How diligent are you in prayer, fasting and study of the Word? How diligent are you in taking on every ingredient that makes up the mind of Christ? How diligent are you in preparing to receive the miracles of supply that are needed in your life? If you are continually diligent concerning the things of God, then you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that no matter what comes your way, nothing is too hard for God.

Many Christians act like they are so secure in the promises of God until testing time comes. Suddenly, they realize they are not so secure after all. They realize they’re weak because they have been slack concerning the promises of God and have not been diligently seeking God as they should. Then unfortunately, God cannot reward them.

Divinity Is Not Complicated

The Lord made prayer such a simple thing, but many people make it tedious and difficult. Jesus said, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7). Those instructions are so simple that a child can understand them. If the Lord had made prayer more complicated, maybe more prayers would get answered. Maybe people would take God more seriously if He made things more complicated.

God works in simplicity. Never take the promises of God for granted because they are simple. God instructs us to do something little; then He will do something big. God tells us to do something that’s possible, and He will do the impossible. You do something that seems foolish, and God will do something wise to bring about a miracle. See how easy it becomes if you put your complete trust in Him?

Heaven is to be close to every child of God; but for some of you, it depends on what measuring stick you are using. If divine blood is your measuring stick, you are just one simple step away from the throne room of God; and the name of Jesus will open that door and usher you right in before God. If you live in your feelings, Heaven can seem like a fairy tale; and God’s throne can seem a million miles away.

When you come to the end of life’s journey, you do not want to be living in human faith. Jesus brought abundant life through divine faith; and He brought victory over death, hell and the grave. The sting of death is not eternal when you have divine faith.

Divine faith makes crossing from Earth to Heaven just as simple as taking a step—one step and you are there. With a shout of victory, the gates of Glory will swing wide open. You will enter in to look upon the face of your God, worship at His feet and hear Him say, Well done, thou good and faithful servant₀enter thou into the joy of thy lord (Matthew 25:21).

Let Faith Take You to Calvary

Sinner, after reading this message today, I want you to give your heart to the Lord. The Bible says you have a measure of faith regardless of the sins you have committed and regardless of how long you have been a sinner. That measure of faith is there. If you believe upon the Lord and act upon His Word, the Holy Spirit will use that measure of faith and the divine blood to deliver you and give you the miracle of salvation that leads to eternal life. If we confess our sins, he [God] is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9).

Say this prayer with me now and make your confession before the Lord: Oh, God, I confess all of my sins before you. Forgive me, Lord, and I will serve you for the rest of my life. And I believe there is power in the blood of Jesus that washes away all of my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus. Come into my heart, Jesus. Amen. Friend, if you meant that prayer, Jesus is yours.

Now, the Jesus who gives eternal life lives within you, and He will give you life for your body. If you are sick or in great pain, God can heal you. No matter what the bondage or burden in your life is, He can deliver you. Raise your hand to the Lord as a point of contact and believe.

Lord, in the name of Jesus, I bring those who are sick, those with a great need in their life. God, lay a healing hand on each one. In the holy, blood name of Jesus, heal, heal! Let your blood flow to every person reading this message. Break every bondage for them. Deliver them and set them free. Raise them up for your honor and glory, in the blood name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Friend, watch every improvement and give God all the honor, the praise and the glory for what He is doing for you. Then let us know about it. We’d love to hear your testimony. You can contact us through social media or send it by email to testimonies@ErnestAngley.org. God bless you today.
