#429 - Putting Action Behind Your Faith
Joel Osteen
Author: Joel Osteen
Thu, Jun 25, 2009
We all have dreams that we're hoping, praying and believing will come to pass. But there's another step in faith that is so often left out, and it's one of the keys to seeing God do great things.
Scripture says, "Faith without actions backing it up is dead." We can pray 24 hours a day and believe for a life time, but when we take our faith a step further and back it up with actions, that's when God causes extraordinary things to happen. God is moved by our faith.
Putting actions behind your faith doesn't have to be something big. When you go to work every day and give it 100%, you're demonstrating your faith. When you put a smile on your face when you feel like being discouraged, when God sees you bite your tongue to keep the peace in your house, when He sees you help others when you really need more help than them, that's putting action behind your faith.
God is looking for people that have faith that He can see. Not just faith He can hear, not just faith that believes, but faith that is visible and is demonstrated.
When you put actions to your faith, God will show up in amazing ways and help you accomplish the things that you couldn't do in your own strength. Faith with actions allows God to do the extraordinary in our lives.

#406 - Speaking Faith Into Your Future

Our words have creative power. With our words, we can either bless or curse our future. If you want to know what you're going to be like 5 years from now, listen to what you're saying about yourself; even the small things you say over your life from "I'll never get that promotion" to "I'm just so tired all the time." The moment we verbalize a thought, whether positive or negative, we give that thought the right to come to pass.
To see God's best in your life, you have to stay on the offensive and speak victory over your life. The Bible says, "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so." It's not enough just to "not speak anything negative." You have to take it a step further and speak victory over your life. You can't speak defeat and expect to have victory.
There is a correlation between what we say and what God does, but nothing happens until we speak our faith out. When we speak God's Word, the moment His promises come out of our mouth, something happens in the unseen realm. We may not see it for a week, a year or even ten years, but God is working behind the scenes.
If you will keep saying the right thing, speaking victory, speaking favor, speaking health and wholeness; the seeds you're sowing, you will reap. In due season, you will eat the fruit of your words, and God is going to make all your crooked places straight.
