Real Faith (Audio)

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (Matthew 7:24-25)

Being built on the rock in this passage is being a doer of what He said. Real faith is evidenced through word and deed.

In good weather, a house on the sand seems fine and every bit as good as the house on the rock. Both of the builders heard the same things, and they both built the same house. If you had seen the two before the storm, they would’ve looked just alike to you. You wouldn’t have known the difference… until the storm hit.

There is a phony faith that looks and sounds like the real thing. But only real faith emerges victorious through the storms of life. As you hear this word, let the Holy Spirit work in you, removing everything that’s not real and building you up in real faith that overcomes the world.
