In our Sunday second service, Pastor Ice the significance of “Points of Contact” in our faith journey.
Here are the key takeaways:
- Launching Out in Faith: Faith uses specific points to launch out, helping believers connect with God’s power.
- Degrees of Revelation: Not all revelations in God’s Word are at the same degree. James 5:13 emphasizes that understanding this variation is crucial.
- Mediums of Faith: Various objects or actions can serve as mediums for our faith, but it’s vital to remember that our faith should be in God, not in the medium itself.
- The Woman with the Issue of Blood: Mark 5:26-28 and Mark 6:56 illustrate the woman who touched Jesus’ garment in faith and was healed. The garment was merely a medium; her faith was the key, as seen in Mark 5:34.
- Faith and Actions: Faith without corresponding actions is dead. We must actively push for our faith to yield results.
- Cost of Faith: Be prepared to pay the price for your faith to work. True faith often requires perseverance and dedication.
- Tarry in God’s Presence: Spending time in God’s presence is essential for strengthening our faith.
- Faith Over Mediums: Our relationship with God is based on faith, not the mediums we use. While mediums can aid our faith, they should never replace our trust in God.
- Miracles Through God: Acts 19:11-12 reminds us that God performs miracles, not the mediums. Many people fall into deception by placing their trust entirely in mediums rather than God.
- Grounding in God’s Word: To avoid deception, we must be well-grounded in God’s Word, ensuring our faith remains steadfast in Him.
In conclusion, mediums serve as points of contact to release our faith, but our ultimate trust must always be in God, the true worker of miracles.
