Do God's Work and all Your Needs will be Met | Fri May 23, 2014 12:22 am by Camille | God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.
Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

| Faith vs. Works
"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks" (Luke 6:45).
Your heart must be established in faith in order to move in the area of your need. Faith is believing in your heart that God's Word is true and that belief is so established, that out of the abundance of your heart your mouth speaks God's promises as though they were already in existence. The only way to have faith coming out of your mouth is to have your heart established in His Word.
Legalism says, "If I can be good enough, God will see my good works and answer my prayer." Faith says, "I believe God's promise without wavering, in spite of what I see or hear." Once I heard a man say if everything was established on works, then at least he would be able to see what's happening. Unfortunately, if everything were based on works, he would have never seen anything happen. Why? Because our works can never be good enough to accomplish anything remotely close to what God can accomplish through us by faith.
If your destiny was depending upon your works and how good you are, then what would your destiny be? The truth is, if our destiny depended on our works, we would have legalism once again. Grace is much better.
Paul worked hard in the books of Galatians and Colossians to get legalism out of the church. Our best works developed from the mind and imagination of man will pale by comparison to what one can do who is led by the Spirit of God and walking in faith.
The Word says that out of the abundance of the heart that our mouth speaks. I propose that it's much better to have faith on our lips than to have works. Faith is a rest and that's where God wants us. (Heb. 4:11.) When we rely on works above faith, we are subtly saying that our works will accomplish more than what God can accomplish through faith in His Word.
So take a rest from your work and walk in faith.
