In chapter 3 of “Intensive Faith Therapy”, we look at the Testimonies of Trust. The Bible provides an array of testimonies of mighty men and women of God. Within this vast list, we are told of the effects of trusting God. Science teaches us that for every action there is a reaction. Life teaches us that everything we do has a consequence, whether good or bad. What are the expected results when we believe in God?

The expected results are given to us in the Word of God. God will help us, defend us, save us, deliver us, prosper us, reward us and bless us if we trust in Him. God will be a shield and a place of safety for us if we trust Him. What a mighty God we serve!

Why Intensive Faith Therapy?

Many times we now find ourselves feeling that God has not delivered on His promises. We have believed God to the best of our abilities, yet we have not received what we have expected. As a result, our faith has been hurt and injured.

Intensive Faith Therapy – Volume 1 is a series of Bible studies designed to strengthen and build your faith, especially during times of trials, tribulations and afflictions. In this study, we will do an intense examination of our trust, hope, faith, praise and thoughts toward God. This will help our faith to grow and for us to finally see the manifestation of God in our lives like never before.

In chapter 6 of Intensive Faith Therapy, we look at how the prophet Jeremiah handled such death, disaster and destruction. He felt that God was allowing too much to happen to Jerusalem and that all was hopeless. However, in the middle of his pity party he remembered one thing. God is faithful and His faithfulness is great.

When we face similar situations, we would do good to remember the unfailing love that God has for us. We may feel that all hope is gone. However, if we remember that God is faithful then we will be able to place our hope and faith in Him. Jerusalem did not remain in desolation. Neither will we.

It is clear from scripture that Jesus expects us, those that are the closest to Him, to operate in “great faith”. Sure, it was wonderful that the Gentile woman and the Centurion soldier had faith that Jesus could solve their problems. However, it looks like He expected even more from his disciples. He expected His disciples to have enough faith to do something about the raging storm and the lack of food. He really expected Peter to walk on that water.
How would Jesus rate your faith today?

We looked at the scripture as recorded in Romans 12:2. We saw that we are not to be conformed to this world but we are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We cannot do things like the world does. We cannot focus on depressing thoughts and hopeless ideas. We must transform or change our way of thinking. Our thinking must be so that we are able to prove that good, acceptable and perfect will of God.

The book of Job has comforted many Christian people throughout the centuries. We often look at Jobs situation to justify why bad things sometimes happen to good people. However, as we looked at Job in our lesson, we discovered something. The book of Job is not so much about Job as it is about God.
Think about it. The reason we read about Job is not because of Job but because of a wager between God and Satan. What a remarkable story. Satan wasn’t thinking about Job. God is the one that suggested Job. Furthermore, as the conversation progressed, Satan predicted that Job would curse God if God would remove his protection from him. Satan basically said that God’s people are materialistic and that our praise is predicated on what we get from God.

What an accusation! Unfortunately, it is true sometimes. We discovered in our lesson that we often allow circumstances to dictate our praise and adoration for God. We must realize that God is in control and that He knows what is best for us. When we accuse God of being unfair, unjust, slow, uncaring or unresponsive to our needs, we are not praising God. Let us not let Satan be right about us. We are to demonstrate that we can go through tough trials and tribulations and give God awesome praise.

Hallelujah!

Fortunately, there are times where God will reveal to us “why” something is happening. However, more often than not, we generally do not know all of the details. We may not know why a particular relationship going sour will benefit us. We may not know why losing our job at this moment is in God’s plan.

Our assignment for this lesson is simple. We will not deal with what we don’t know. Let’s deal with what we do know. We know that the thoughts that God has towards us are good. They are thoughts of peace and not evil. We also know that all things work together for good to them that love God and are the called according to His purpose. What a wonderful thought to dwell on!

We concluded that the best evidence that we have is the Word of God. What does the Bible say concerning your situation? Do you see it as credible?

We also looked at other types of evidence that is used in the judicial system, particularly the testimony of witnesses. Witnesses that can testify that they saw the incident happen are the most credible. Those that only think they know or was told by someone else that something took place are usually considered circumstantial or hearsay.

What is your faith made of? Remember, your faith is the evidence. What evidence are you working with? Do you have scripture that apply to your situation? Are you building your faith with the testimonies of people that are telling you that God can indeed make a way?

Court is now in session. We know that our faith must be tried and the evidence must weigh out. We know that we have solid, truthfully evidence of God’s goodness and faithfulness to his people in the Word of God. We are going to search out the scriptures and find our evidence. We believe that God is a faithful judge and that He is no respecter of person. We have no time for doubters and unbelief. We believe God’s Word and we are building strong faith in Him. God is faithful and He faithfully takes care of his children.

Has your hope been destroyed? Are you at the point where you don’t expect anything from God? Get up from that place!!! That is not a good place to be. If we do not have hope, there is nothing for our faith to be the substance of. When that happens, we become depressed and hopeless. Hopelessness leads to faithlessness.

Well, that is changing today. We are going to recommit our “hope” to the Lord. We are going to have GREAT EXPECTATION of all that God has for us. We are going to line up our thoughts and our speech with our new found hope. When we say, “I hope it works out for you”, we are expecting to here some praise reports. We are not going to entertain doubt and unbelief and we will not act like those that have no hope. Each day we are eagerly looking and receiving the wonderful changes in our lives and circumstances.
