"Faith Is Specific, Part 1" by Nancy Dufresne

Proverbs 4:5-8 instructs us, “Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.”

     This passage tells us what wisdom will do: preserve, keep, (AMPC – defend, protect), promote you, and bring you to honor.

     To walk in God’s wisdom is one way God protects and defends us. Sometimes people do things that aren’t wise, get into difficulty, then wonder why God didn’t warn them. Wisdom warns us!

"Properly Define Faith" by Nancy Dufresne

Receiving and manifestation are 2 different things. “Receiving” is dealing with your spirit – “manifestation” is dealing with the natural realm. “Receiving” is something you do with your spirit, your heart. Before something from God manifests in the natural realm, it must FIRST be received with your spirit.

     God is a Spirit, and He deals with us through our spirit. When we receive something from God, we receive it with our spirit first – then it will manifest in the natural realm. That’s why we can know on the inside of us that we have something before there’s evidence of it in the natural realm.

"It Is Given – I Receive It” by Nancy Dufresne

Hebrews 4:3 tells us, “…[His] works had been COMPLETED and PREPARED [and WAITING for all who would BELIEVE] from the foundation of the world” (AMPC).

     Everything we need to fulfill God’s will and to live the life He authored for us has already been completed and prepared – it’s just waiting for our faith to show up! He completed and prepared our answer long before our need ever showed up – it’s been waiting from the foundation of the world!

     How does our faith show up? Through our words and actions. When we declare what He said is ours and act on His Word, that’s our faith giving God permission to perform what He has already provided and said about our lives.
