That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.(Philemon verse 6) How does your faith becomes effective? By the acknowledging of everything good thing which is in Christ Jesus. If you want your faith to become effective so that you can win in life you need to find what you have in Christ Jesus. Lets verify this reasoning by taking another scripture that says the same thing. That scripture is found in 2 Peter 1:2-4 .
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. First of all we have just read that grace and peace is multiplied not added to us, through the knowledge of God. Next we read that all things that pertain unto life and godliness (that means material, emotional, financial, physical, mental, ) (which is life) has been given unto us and godliness (spiritual) has already been given us. Notice that it did not say that it is going to be given to us but it has already been given unto us! How is it be given unto us? Through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. These are the things that you have in Christ Jesus but you have to acknowledge this and to acknowledge you have to have the knowledge that you have those things already.
Let’s acknowledge some of the things that you have in Christ Jesus:
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Jesus said if you can believe that all things are possible to him that believeth. Now that we have knowledge of that we need to acknowledge that so that it will become effective in our lives. This is what the bible told us to do. Let’s acknowledge some other things that we have in Christ Jesus: Mark 11:23-24
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. First all Jesus said to have faith in God and that you can say unto a mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe in his heart that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall whatsoever he saith. Let me put a disclaimer in there. This mountain moving faith was an example of how that faith can be developed to the point that it can move a mountain. But no one is Jesus time had developed their faith to that degree, but Jesus said that it was possible. Jesus is actually telling us that we have a no limit kind of faith if we would only acknowledge it. Let’s acknowledge some other things that you have in Christ Jesus:
(Isaiah 26:3) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. If you keep your mind stayed on God believing that he will help you to overcome your problem, God will keep your mind in perfect peace because you trust in him, but you have to acknowledge this. Let’s acknowledge some other things that you have in Christ Jesus:
1 Peter 2:24 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.
James 514 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. According to these two scriptures we need to acknowledge that we already are healed in Christ Jesus. There are plenty of more scriptures that I could give but I am only going to give you one more. Let’s acknowledge this last one:
2 Corinthians 89 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. If you read chapters eight and nine of second Corinthians you will find out that the scripture is saying that Jesus became materialistically and financially poor that you might become materialistically and financially rich! That means that you will have a full supply in everything that you need! Again how does this happen? By having the knowledge of this and acknowledge that you have those things in Christ Jesus on earth so that the communication of your faith will become effective in your life by the acknowledging of every good thing that you have in Christ Jesus!
