Jesus Gave six steps to Kenneth to instruct us how to operate and walk in faith and receive from Him:

1. I Believe

2. I Will

3. I Take It

4. I Have It

5. I Thank You and Praise You For It

6. I Forgive

Judith’s Note: If you are not use to using your faith in Christ Jesus and Father God, then these steps of faith are especially useful to equip you and get your faith working so you can receive from the Lord better.

In John 15 (open John 15:1-12) Jesus tells them and us now that without Him we can do nothing. This is very important to remember. As we grow in Christ Jesus and begin to mature, the teenage years can give a false sense of independence from the Lord, because We Have His Power and Authority… (*Note: as you mature you become more aware that you are More Dependent on Him, and More Humble hearted toward Him. One reason is because we are held more responsible for other’s souls.) … But you want to take heed to Jesus’ instructions to understand that without Him you can do nothing, but WITH HIM you can do all things and do it well (Phil 4:13). Abide In Him and He In You, and let His Word (that is Spirit and Life) abide in You, and that Word Flow Through Your Mouth as The Holy Spirit leads you.

Once your faith is working, and you have matured in your walk of faith through experiences of exercising your faith in Christ Jesus in situations (your own and/or others), then I find these 6 steps given by Jesus, seem to just flow quickly as one thought unified together as our faith works and takes action with Holy Spirit in Hope as we step In Faith and have an expectation of HOPE until the manifestation of what we asked for is come. Always leaning in and asking Holy Spirit to guide and direct our faith steps so to bring in and produce Our Righteous Father’s good will.

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood,

25 Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them

Philippians 4:19-20 But my God shall provide all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 107:20  He sent  His word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Exodus 34:5-7 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.

6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,…

Romans 10:17  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Hebrews 11:1

Now Faith is the substance of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

1 Corinthians 3:16-18 *v17 The Lord is that Spirit, and wherever the Lord is, there is liberty.

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

1 Peter2:24

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Prov 16:24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Prov 17:22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
