When Faith Speaks
from The River Audio Podcast with Pastor Jack Holt · host The River
In today's message, Pastor Jack shares that our faith operates through the "rhema" word, which is the spoken and personally revealed word of God that brings light into our situations and equips us to move mountains, heal the sick, and break through life's barriers. He emphasizes that we must actively use and feed on our faith throughout our lives, holding fast to our confessions, because if our faith stops working, we risk backsliding or even falling into apostasy. Looking at biblical figures like Esther, Joseph, Cain, Balaam, and Corein, Pastor Jack warns us of the severe spiritual consequences of ignoring God's revelations or practicing lawlessness, explaining that an outward appearance of churchgoing cannot replace an intimate, obedient relationship with God. Ultimately, he highlights that the gifts and callings God places on our lives are irrevocable, and by continually placing our faith in Him to supernaturally guide our careers, marriages, and families, we will remain secure, produce fruit, and never draw back from following Christ.
