Message Title:
*Engaging the Turnaround Power of Faith (Pt. 3A)*
Ministering: *Bishop David Oyedepo*
*Two Levels of Access to the Truth
1. The communication level.
- It only changes your vocabulary but does not change you.
2. Transmission level.
- It connects you to virtue that changes your level. Access to the transmission level requires that you are in the Spirit. - Rev. 1:10
You cannot see God in the flesh; you must set your heart to find Him.
*What is Faith?*
1. Faith is being fully persuaded of the truth, the prevailing circumstances notwithstanding. - Rom. 4:17-21
- Access to the voice of God strengthens faith.
2. Faith is a display of confidence in God until your desired result is obtained. - Heb. 10: 35
- It infuses confidence in the believer amid conflict.
3. Faith is the answer to all the impossible challenges of life. - Mark 10:27
- Whatever is not impossible with God is not impossible with faith.
Faith is not mere talk; faith is real work. No lazy believer can go far in the School of faith.
You must get on your feet to gain access to your inheritances in Christ.
Sit down to build your faith in God and subscribe to His commands.
Faith is not a discovery of the truth but an adventure into the truth.
If you stop at discovery, you’ll be stagnated. Move on to the adventure!
You cannot understand how powerful faith is without undertaking adventures in the Word.
It is the adventure of faith that validates how powerful faith is.
*How to Keep Your Faith Growing
1. Maintain the joy of the Lord as a lifestyle. - Isa. 12:3, Phil 4:4
2. Connect with the ministry of anointed ministers of faith with proofs. - Isa. 30:20-22
It takes faith to obtain results and it also takes faith to retain it.
Beware of ‘communiKILLERS’ that kill people's faith with false teachings. They have no proofs, only argument after argument.
Take heed to what you read and hear; don’t let any devil carry you away!

Understanding the Faith that Works
Faith is the substance or life of redemption. Its what gives life to Christianity Acts 6:7. When faith is off, redemption has no effect. Faith is the very heart of redemption.
By faith we are saved, stand, healed and live Ephesians 2:8 Galatians 3:11 Luke 8:48 1 John 5:4 --- faith is a lifestyle, not a cash and carry kind of system. Psalms 125:1-3 -- faith is our defence, preservation and protection. Its the mustery behind exploits in all spheres of life Hebrews 11:33-34
Faith is the baseline, its fundamental to fulfilling God's purpose for our lives 2 Peter 1:5-11
Faith is imperfect without corresponding action to back up what one claims to believe James 2:18-24
1. The faith that works is a Revelation fired faith --- faith that anchors on the word of God on the subject matter
What is Revelation ?
Revelation is being able to see what God is saying Isaiah:1 -- what you can see with the eye of your spirit, unto you will i give it John 20:24-29 Ephesians 1:17-18 Psalms 119:105 John 1:12.
The quality of a man's life is according to what the man see in the scripture John 1:12 Matthew 4:4 -- he naturally believes and supernaturally becomes it. Revelation is the spiritual understanding of the truth on any subject Acts 4:20 -- nothing emboldens a believer like being able to see the reality of his future from the pages of the scriptures --- Colossians 1:9 Deuteronomy 29:29 36:9 -- what He did not reveals, we can not receive. Its not the rigour of our study bit what we are qualify to access by lining up with His terms. Nobody life in the kingdom can be worth anymore than he sees.
Path for Revelation
1. Be born again and remain so Mark 4:11 -- we must ensure that our salvation is authentic Matthew 7:20
2. Have a heart for God , stay in love with God John 15:15 -- you gain access to revelation when you are genuinely in love with God 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. A heart for God gives you access to know what are beyond your generations Amon 3:7
3. Live in the fear of God Psalms 25:14 Genesis 42:18/41:31-34 --- the fear of God leads us into things bigger and greater than our natural capability.
4. Engage in topical study of the word 1 Timothy 2:13/15 --- topical study is the wisest way to get answer to what you are lookong for.
5. Be committed to the ministry of Philips sent your way -- there are light bearers sent your way Acts 8:28-30 (Isaiah 53), identify them and engage with the ways of God they knows. Daniel 9:2/10:1-12 -- revelation grows by quest to know Hebrews 13:7
6. Be committed to meditating on the word. Meditation helps us understand Psalms 119:97-100 1 Timothy 2:15
7. Engage the ministry of the Holy Spirit for continuous access John 14:26 -- He does not only teach us, He also brungs to our remembrance when required John 16:12-14 1 Corinthians 2:10
8. Engage the prayer of enquiry for access Jeremiah 33:3 Psalms 119:18
9. Engage in prayers ans fasting for access Matthew 17:21 2 Corinthians 4:4 -- we engage in prayers and fasting to blast the blindfolding steel of the devil Isaiah 58:6/8/10
10. Be committed in walking i the Spirit Revelation 1:10 -- it takes man of the spirit to hear what the Spirit of God is saying.
11. Rejoice always 12:3 Philippians 4:4 -- depression is the strategy of the devil to rob us Psalms 42:5 -- being cast down is a devise of the devil to keep the believer down Jeremiah 15:16
