Exceeding Faith Quotes
Chapter 10
#901 “Pursue love, and
desire spiritual gifts” (1 Corinthians 14:1, NKJV). According to the
Bible, a more excellent way to walk in the power of God is to pursue love.
Walking in love is the best way for the world to see Jesus through us. Kenneth
Copeland
#902 Acts 10:38 (KJV) tells
us, “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who
went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil.” If
we’re going to do the works Jesus did, we need to do the same thing, right?
Then, we’ll bring healing and deliverance to those who are oppressed. Kenneth
Copeland
#903 Love destroys the
devil’s hold. It undermines his whole operation! Not only that, but love also
connects us to the oppression-destroying power of God. That power operates by
faith, and faith works by love (Galatians 5:6). God is Love (1 John 4:8). So,
stir up the gift of love within you! Kenneth Copeland
#904 Have you ever looked
at what you have in light of your need and felt discouraged? Here’s good news:
You may not have all you need, but you have something…and that’s not
nothing. It’s a great place to start. Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#905 In John 6, a
multitude of 5,000 were being taught by Jesus. They got hungry and wanted something—anything—to
eat. Jesus’ disciples tried to help but came up short. They only found a young
boy who had five measly loaves and two fish. Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#906 That food wasn’t
nearly enough for 5,000 people. The disciples became desperate. They could only
see what they had—five loaves and two fish—in light of what they needed: to
feed 5,000 hungry people! Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#907 But Jesus wasn’t
deterred. He took the food and gave thanks for it. After Jesus gave thanks for
the little He had, the miracle came. Not only were all 5,000 people fed, but
there were 12 baskets of food left over! Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#908 Instead of focusing
on your need, focus on what you have in hand. It may seem small to you, but
it’s a gift from God. Be thankful for it. You serve a big God who’s more than
able to bless it, break it and multiply it for you! Jeremy and Sarah Pearsons
#909 When you release your
faith to God, He can then respond with a miracle. Richard Roberts
#910 So many people don’t
want to go the distance with God. They want to stay within their own limited
belief system. They say, “God, I can believe You this far, but that’s as far as
I can go.” Richard Roberts
#911 That’s where Peter
was in Luke 5. When Jesus told him to sail out into the Sea of Galilee and let
down his nets, Peter thought, I’ll take out only one net to humor him. He
was in for a surprise! Richard Roberts
#912 He sailed out and
threw one net overboard. Suddenly, he felt a tug on his shoulders. Fish had hit
his net. Peter experienced a net-breaking, boat-sinking miracle! What would
have happened if he would have had faith to put down more than one net like
Jesus said? Richard Roberts
#913 When you pray for
your own miracle, release your faith. If you pray for others’ miracles, then
first teach them how to release their faith and believe God for themselves. You
are the vessel, the conduit, through which God can move. You don’t have healing
power, but you’re hooked up to the One who does. Richard Roberts
#914 God can use you to
bring about a miracle. Never be intimidated to release your faith for a
miracle! Richard Roberts
#915 Third John 2 (KJV)
says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
health, even as thy soul prospereth.” That single verse speaks to prosperity
for our spirit, soul and body. But what is prosperity? George Pearsons
#916 Kenneth Copeland
says, “True prosperity is the ability to use the power of God to meet the needs
of mankind in every realm of life—spirit, soul, body, financially and
socially.” Meeting the needs of mankind—that’s what it’s all about. George
Pearsons
#917 Sure, it’s wonderful
to be blessed, to drive a nice car and have a good home, but the fullness of
prosperity is when it comes through us and goes into other people’s lives.
George Pearsons
#918 Not long ago, I ate
lunch with a large group of people, and the bill came to $130. I added a $100
tip. When the waitress saw it, she returned to give thanks. It meant so much to
her, and her thankfulness brought tears to my eyes. George Pearsons
#919 Our motivation for
accumulation is distribution. We are distributors not only of the Word of God,
but also of what it has produced in our lives. God isn’t prospering us so we
can get deeper into debt. He’s prospering us so we can bless others. That’s
prosperity in action. George Pearsons
#920 As Brother Copeland
says, “A man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things he possesses,
but in the abundance of the things that he sows.” That’s the heart of
prosperity. George Pearsons
#921 First Corinthians
14:1 (AMPC) says, “Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire [this] love [make
it your aim, your great quest].” Walking in love should be our quest. A quest
is a lifelong dream. It’s anything that dominates your life and holds your
attention. We should make the decision to walk in love continually—whether
anybody else does or not. Mark Hankins
#922 Here’s how to walk in
God’s love. First, forgive. When you see how much God loves you, you can
forgive yourself and others. When you do, you release past hurts, sins and
disappointments. Be quick to repent, quick to forgive and quick to believe!
Mark Hankins
#923 Next, meditate on
God’s love. Affirm it aloud. Use your imagination to see yourself, others
and situations you’re facing in the light of God’s love. James 1:25 (NLT) says,
“But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you
do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for
doing it.” Mark Hankins
#924 Finally, pray in the
Spirit. “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy
faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God” (Jude
20-21, KJV). The tongue must be continually yielded to the power of the
Holy Spirit who gives us power to overcome. Mark Hankins
#925 Faith works by love
and when you walk in love, you’ll see the worst people and situations turn
around. Make love your quest this year and find favor, promotion and heaven on
earth! Mark Hankins
#926 Every moment of your
life is infallible proof of God’s love and work. Now is the time to receive His
full power and start walking in all He has for you. Don’t be ashamed. Now is
the time to live supernaturally. It’s time to live what you believe! Mark
Hankins
#927 Do you see yourself
as God sees you? That’s a question I ask teenagers every time I speak in
a school. I ask it for one simple reason: Years ago, the Holy Spirit led me to
do so. Dean Sikes
#928 The Holy Spirit took
me to the book of Judges and instructed me to read about the life of Gideon.
God saw Gideon’s potential as a great leader long before Gideon recognized it.
“The Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, ‘The Lord is with you,
you mighty man of valor!’” (Judges 6:12, NKJV). Dean Sikes
#929 The situation is no
different for you or anyone in this generation of young leaders I meet every
week on the road. The potential you have is already deposited in your heart. You
are wired for greatness. Dean Sikes
#930 Here’s the deal
though: The charge to you is the same one that Gideon received. When you look
in the mirror, you’re going to have to see and believe what God sees and
what God believes. When you do, that’s when you’ll be able to do all
you’re called to do for Him. Dean Sikes
#931 Here’s something I’m
learning after decades of working for God: 1) He knows exactly who He
wants to carry out His plan, 2) He knows exactly what He wants
accomplished, and 3) He knows when He wants to accomplish it. Our
responsibility? To trust and obey. Dean Sikes
#932 Get to know who you
are in Him because you’re wired for greatness. That’s why you matter. Dean
Sikes
#933 Using the simile that
faith is like a mustard seed, I would first like to say that it must be used.
Faith that is not used is faith that dies and becomes unfruitful. So if we want
a vibrant faith that will grow, we must use it. And like a mustard seed, it
will produce a variety of products. And when we use it, it grows! Author
Unknown
#934 Faith must always
start with the Word of God. Faith begins where the will of God is known. Well,
that happens by getting into God’s Word and gaining insight to His will. As you
study and meditate on what the Word says about finances, healing, or anything
else, faith will begin to arise in your spirit and then you can put it to work
for you! Author Unknown
#935 Everyone wants
results—the kind of results you can see in your own life. But your eyes must be
open to see those results BEFORE they show up—that is having faith in both God
and in yourself. Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#936 Without love, your
faith won’t work right. You will sow much but reap little because the weeds of
offense are crowding out the good seed.
#937 Love is the master
key that unlocks all other doors. 1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now abide faith,
hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
#938 Hope is the blueprint
of faith. Kenneth Copeland
#939 “Most people don’t
lose their blessing because of a lack of faith. They lose their blessing
because of a lack of patience.” Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#940 I love how Paul
starts out with God is able in Ephesians 3:20-21. And then he adds, “God is
able to do.” Then he continues to add more! “God is able to do exceeding.” “God
is able to do exceeding abundantly.” “God is able to do exceeding abundantly above.”
“God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all.” “God is able to do
exceeding abundantly above all that we ask.” “God is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think.” And then he gives the requirement:
“God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according
to the power that worketh in us!” Dr. Jesse Duplantis
#941 Throughout the Bible,
Jesus said, “Only Believe!” The sky is not the limit, our belief system is.
Joel Osteen said, “Faith and fear have something in common: they both ask us to
believe in something we cannot see.” Why not believe that God is working behind
the scenes to produce in your life the dreams you see in your heart?! Terri
Savelle Foy

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged –

Faith is the substance of hope – of things hoped for and the evidence of things

hoping and seeing yourself driving a new car, or seeing yourself getting that
job, or seeing yourself excel, seeing yourself help that person – that is
faith. Duane Chapman
