Real Faith Will Produce Acts of Obedience

Heb.  11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him.  For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists  and that He is the Rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him  [out].”

Without faith it's impossible to please God, so the first step of is to believe that He is, then the next step is to draw near to Him knowing therein is your greatest reward and life. Taking the first step isn't enough, just believing He is God and that He exist isn't enough.  James 2:17-26 show this and says even the demons believe God is and they shudder  in fear of Him. They have taken the first step but they refused to “obey” and draw near to Him.  They chose the path of disobedience and  rejected what they knew of God. Verse 17 says faith without acts of obedience is  dead, so the first step is faith and the next step is obedience otherwise your  faith is dead.  Verses 21-23 talks about Abraham, his faith in God that moved  him to offer up his only son as an act of obedience.  Abraham had been taking  many steps of obedience towards God before this was required of him.  In fact  verse 23 says he was the friend of God.  Each step of obedience he took established more and more faith in him, assurance that this was a God he could trust.  Trust to keep His word to him and trust Him to do him only good whether or not he could see it at the time.  We too are justified like Abraham was  justified through faith and acts (works) of obedience.  Works means to work as  in Phi. 2:2 where it says to work out your own salvation with fear and  trembling.  It also means toil as an effort or occupation, an act or deed, labor  or
doing.  Verse 24 Ampl. says “You see that a man is justified (pronounced  righteous before God) through what he does and not alone through faith (through  works of obedience as well as by what he believes).”                                                                                                                                                                             Rom. 10:9-10 shows it requires believing and action, in this case the action is speaking or calling out for salvation to be established.   The act of confession is just as necessary as the faith that believes, they work  together.  One without the other produces nothing.  We can confess all day long  but if we don’t believe what we’re saying its just lies with no foundation of  truth.  And we can believe God is and that Jesus is the Son of God but without the act of confession and calling out to Him that too is  fruitless.  As fruitless as the demons who also believe yet are reserved for the  lake of fire.  The sin of God’s people Israel was disobedience.  They confessed  Him as their God but it was only mouth confession, not heart belief.  Their  actions belied their words.  God said they are near Me with their mouths but far  from Me with their hearts [Is. 29:13; Eze 33:31; Ps 78:37-37].  Is this not  where our nation is?


Yes child, America has confessed many things, one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.   Yet they speak lies, have spoken these lies for a long time. 
And I have been  patient and longsuffering calling forth unto her, as I have Israel, to return  unto her roots wherein is her life.  Yet she has refused My voice of compassion  and longsuffering.  Shall I not now in My love and compassion for her stretch  out My hand of correction, correcting and adjusting back into My order of  righteousness her wayward ways?  Truth child, I seek truth in the inward heart  of man.  I long to hear words of truth backed up by hearts that speak the same  truth, I hear both.  These child, receive My blessing for these I can bless and  come into agreement with.  I move heaven and earth, rearrange times and ways for  those who will seek Me in such truth, whose hearts and mouths are in agreement  with My truth.  My people have yet to understand and perceive the power of My truth spoken back to Me, calling Me to record to fulfill it unto themselves.   Shall I not keep My Word, maintain and sustain it unto all those who ask Me to  do so, who require it of Me?  I seek those who will call it forth from Me,
remind Me of its truth and require it of Me.  I know it already for it’s who I  am but I must know they know it also and want it.  When they want My truth they  want Me and I shall come revealing Myself to them in all the beauty of truth,  exposing Myself before them.  But I must trust and know they truly value My  truth, My person above all else even themselves and their self interest.  Yes  child, I have hidden you in the Rock also and through Him you have access to Me,  as much of Me as your heart desires.  Trust Me I shall not let you be harmed for  I see the blood.  And as the blood cleanses you from every spot and blemish you  shall see more clearly My love for you.  The brightness of it shall not blind  you but cause you to see more clearly as the scales continue to drop away one by  one.  Watch for more revelation appearing on the horizon even as the sun arises  in the east and proclaims each new day with its brightness.  Trust Me child, for  I am your Trustworthy God.
