Speaker 1In the mighty name of Jesus Christ , we are diving straight into the beautiful book of 2 Corinthians , chapter 5 , verse 7 , and the scripture is powerful and the scripture is
life . What are you looking at at this moment in time ? How are you viewing your world around you ? I want to encourage you at this moment in time never give up , because the word of God very clearly today in 2 Corinthians , chapter 5 , verse 7 , and 7 alone , says this we live by faith , not by sight . What a scripture to start the hour . What a scripture to start school . What a scripture to start work , just to start breathing early hours of the morning . The Bible tells us that we live by faith and we want to encourage you right now to walk by faith . Never give up , never allow the circumstances of the world of life to dictate to you how you should be , and never allow fear to overtake faith .
Speaker 1The bible says the just shall live by faith . And we walk by faith , not by sight . Everything that we have in this world , everything around us , is tangible and touchable , but it is of material value . It has no salvation value . It has no heavenly value . The Bible says do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth , where moth and rust destroy , but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven . I understand that we've got to go to work , we've got to pay the bills , we've got to put food and water on the table . I clearly understand that . But as soon as I start putting a value on the pound or the dollar or the euro or whatever currency I live by , in whatever nation , I start to limit not my God but myself . I cannot put the weight on the finances , I cannot put my life onto the job , I cannot rely on my skill set .
Speaker 1The Bible says the just shall live by faith , and we do not live by sight . We trust in the word of God . The Bible is clear and I want to encourage you right now , just before we go into prayer in just a few moments , that the spirit of the living God is with you today . Wherever you are across this beautiful world , I want to encourage you to live by faith , and that doesn't mean to give everything up and to hand everything over and to sit in the front room and go . Pastor Ben has told me to live by faith , not by sight . So I'm going to sit and I'm going to wait for God to move . No , the Bible says faith and actions go together . So my faith and my action and my moving forward goes together . So I want to tell you this morning God is calling you to trust him . That's what faith is about . So , wherever you are across the corners of the world , whatever your culture is , whatever your lifestyle might look like , I want to encourage you tonight , this morning or this afternoon , whatever your time zone is , just before we go into prayer , to say Father , I ask you right now that I will not look at the value of the currency in my hand or in my bank . I will trust you . My God shall supply all my needs according to thy riches in glory . He will supply , he will make a way .
Speaker 1The Bible says we live by faith , not by sight . Let's walk by faith , but shall we get into prayer
? Wherever you are at this moment in time , I want to encourage you right now as we start this prayer time in the mighty name of Jesus Christ . Father , we come to you on this beautiful day , this wonderful evening , this beautiful afternoon . This beautiful day , this wonderful evening , this beautiful afternoon and right now , according to your word , lord , according to 2 Corinthians , chapter 5 , verse 7 , lord , we are going to live by faith and we are not going to trust our eyesight . Lord , our eyesight will determine that we will never be able to go no further than what we see in front of our eyes . But today , lord , today , this is the day that the Lord has made . I shall rejoice and be glad and , father , we are going to stand on the rock of all ages and we are going to trust in the word of God , because today , lord , we're living by faith . Today , lord , we're trusting you in faith through our healing . Today , we're trusting you in our faith , lord , that bills are being met . Today , we are trusting in our faith in you that mental health disappears at the name of Jesus and the fire of God is burning in our spirit . Come , holy God , come Father , come Jesus , come and set the captives free through this prayer time , through this time of devotional time together as we are gathered across the world .
Speaker 1Lord , god , I ask you today , in the rawness of this recording , in the rawness of this studio within the UK , spirit of the Living God , touch my brothers and sisters around the world today . Help us , lord , not to look what we have in our hands , but what the King has created around us , and my God shall supply all thy needs according to thy riches in glory . Lord , I'm not going to look at the value of the dollar . I'm not going to look at the value of the currency , of the pound , of the sterling , of the euro or whatever currency I live my life by . I'm not going to look at the value of the money . I'm going to look how big my God is . And all things , lord , I declare all things are possible to those who believe , and I believe in miracles .
Speaker 1I believe in miracles today , because this is the day that the Lord has made , I shall rejoice and be glad , and your fire and your glory is leading me to live by faith , because today , lord , I'm not going to live by sight , father , I'm not going to live by sight , I'm not going to trust in my own understanding . Lord , I am going to lean into the word of God and I'm going to step out of this boat . Lord , I'm going to step out and I'm going to walk on this water today because , lord , I hear you calling me and , lord , you're calling me out of the boat of the humdrum of life . And I am going to live by faith . I'm going to dream , I'm going to have a vision , lord , that he's going to carry me across this lake today and , lord , I'm going to walk , lord , on this ocean . And , lord , I'm going to walk , lord , on this ocean and , lord , I'm going to soar on wings as of eagles . Lord , I will not sink , I will rise out of the ashes , because it is by faith we live . I do not live by sight . I do not trust this materialistic world . I do not trust this plastic , fake social media world that we are in . I do not trust this plastic world .
Speaker 1Lord , I trust in the word of God , spirit of the living God , send your fire to my brothers today , send your fire to the sisters today . Send your glory to the Bible believing believers , lord . I pray that their hearts will brim over with faith , lord , that their minds , lord , will just show them what is capable through the word of God , and it is in the kingdom of God . Today , through this prayer time , this devotional podcast , today , this is the day of victory and I come to you , lord , as a brother standing Lord . I come to you , sister , as a brother standing Lord . I come to you , sister , as a brother . I come to you , god , and my God shall supply all my needs according to thy riches in glory . Lord , I worship you and through my prayer time , through my prayer time with my brothers and sisters across the world , I believe in miracles and I believe that you are healing us . I believe that we are financially free , because who the Son sets free is free . Indeed , lord , through this moment of prayer , will you strengthen us , will you lead us , will you guard us and protect us ? We need wisdom , we need godly wisdom . So today , lord , fire us up in our spirit as we face work , as we face school , as we face life , as we commute , as we face life . As we commute , as we're at home , as we're studying , as we're looking for a new job , as we're in hospital or hospice , wherever we are in this world , we live by faith in the mighty name of Jesus
Christ . You know , I love this scripture . I love 2 Corinthians 5 , verse 7 . We live by faith , not by sight .
Speaker 1Everything that I have in front of me in this studio , I believe it is here because my eyes tell me obviously so . As I look at the microphones , I see four microphones . I see a cup of tea . I see Bibles , I see scripts . I see the computer . I see the books . I see everything . I see the microphones . I see four microphones . I see a cup of tea . I see Bibles , I see scripts . I see the computer . I see the books . I see everything . I see the cross . We've got a beautiful cross , we've got sound curtains and we are in a beautiful studio here in the UK . I know it's here because I can see it .
Speaker 1But the Bible says , ben , I want you to go further , I want you to dream and I want you to see things that you never thought that you'd ever see . Now , if you have a Bible , let's quickly turn to Hebrews 11 , verse one Now faith is the substance of things . Now , faith is . Now faith is the substance of things . It is the evidence , it is the way forward . Now faith is . Faith is the evidence of things not seen . Now faith is .
Speaker 1Come on , brother and sister , wherever you are across the world , I want you to step out today and trust God like you've never trusted him before . I'm going to do the same thing . I need miracles in my life . Trust me , as I sit here and I record this on this early hours of the morning . I need miracles in my life right now , in the name of Jesus , as we record these daily devotional prayers , daily devotional podcasts and things that we record in this studio right now , off the bat and off the barrel of truth , I need miracles . I need miracles . Just like you , my life requires miracles and I'm going to trust my God Now .
Speaker 1Hebrews 11 , verse 1 , says Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see . So let's just take a moment . Now faith is . Now faith is is three words in to Hebrews 11 , verse 1 . Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see . That is a powerful scripture . When I bring that and I bring that in line with 2 Corinthians , chapter 5 , verse 7 , we live by faith , not by sight .
Speaker 1Lord , I'm trusting you today that my bills are paid . I'm trusting you today , lord , that relationships are healed . I'm trusting you today , lord , that I'm not going to live by my mind and my skillset , but I'm going to live by the power of the Holy Spirit . I'm going to live in faith in the name of Jesus . I'm going to trust you that I'm healed . I'm trusting you , lord , that my line manager is going to be good today , lord , I'm going to trust you , lord , that all things are well in my workspace , in my school , in my house , in my home , in my life , lord , in my mind .
Speaker 1You know our minds . You know that the power of the mind , the power of the brain you know we got to be so , so careful the mind can take us to a place , and where will the mind take us ? The mind will take us to a fearful situation . So when we jump out of the boat , the boat of life , just as the disciple did , and started to walk on water , we cannot look at the storm . Sister and brother , wherever you are , don't look at the storm , look at the King , look at the Son , look at the Son , look at the greatness of God , look at the power of God , look at his strength , look at the power of the Holy Spirit .
Speaker 1I want to encourage you , as we have just over one minute left of this daily Christian devotional podcast . You , my friend , my brother
, my sister , my born again brother , sister , you are going to rise today and you are going to live by the power of the word of God . Wherever you are working , whether you're looking for work , whether you're out of work , whether you're married , unmarried , whether you're a boy , girl , whether you're a child , whether you're a young adult , wherever you are , whatever color , whatever culture , it is irrelevant . Money , skill set is irrelevant . Come on , let's live by faith . Let's trust that God will get us to a place .
Speaker 1So we've come from the scripture today to Corinthians , chapter 5 , verse 7 . We live by faith , not by sight . I want to encourage you again and again and again . I want to tell you right now you're going to make it . I want to tell you right now , today is a good day , this hour is a good hour , and you hold on to the gospel of truth and never give up and never give in .
