Le Renouvellement De Notre Foi Renewing Our Faith — Miki Hardy

Hi. Welcome to you all. We'd like to greet a group of Christians who are coming to visit us from Chamarel. Where are you? Please stand up. May the Lord bless you. Welcome among us. We'd like to welcome all of you who are listening to us on the radio or following the meeting live on the internet.

We welcome you and we are very happy to have you with us. And it's a joy for us for you to be here. So many countries involve Singapore, Sweden, France, Mauritius, England, Ukraine, USA, UK, Singapore.

So many countries. We want to welcome all of you from everywhere in the world that are watching us today. We welcome you. May the Lord bless you. I've got a special announcement from all the elders. There will be a special program next year.

Mainly for the young people. There was a special program of workers in training that the young people benefited from. Bible courses and many things. And other things.

Spending time with elders, etc. This has been a great success.

About 90 of the young people who took part in that program are serving the Lord today. Somewhere in the world. 90%. So it's very clear that it was not in vain.

We want to do that again. But on six months.

From February 2013 we will give you the exact dates. In 2007 many young people made a sacrifice with their time.

Even those who were working. They came.

It was a great sacrifice for them. They paid a great price. But they had grasped the plan of God for their lives. And they didn't hesitate to put everything aside. And come. To spend that year 2007. To build strength in the vision of the Lord for their lives.

Therefore for young people here. Make that a real priority. You are young. You have a desire to serve the Lord. It might be a great sacrifice for you. And yet if you know in your heart that this is the place the Lord wants for you.

Even if that means to stop working for a time. Nobody will force you to do that. But if this is the desire you have in your heart. Really do not hesitate. We want to encourage you to put the plan of God first in your life.

Amen. We will give you every detail in the weeks to come.

But we ask all young people. To please take note of that. To prepare yourself. To organize yourself. For February 2013.

For about six months continually. I can promise you that you will not regret it. If you feel the call of God in your life. It will be the most important thing for you. Get in touch with the elders. Share your heart.

And be open to the Lord for what will follow.

This is a very important time. We were in Zimbabwe.

When I asked some of the young people to stand up. All those who were involved in that program. And they were still serving the Lord. 25 of them stood up. Who are really busy serving the Lord. They are involved in the program of the church.

Their heart is fully in the program of the church. They are available. And they are a great help and a great blessing. And support for the church. This is a special program for you next year. For six months of the year.

Renewing Faith Through the Word of God

If I were you, I would just dive in it. If you have a desire to serve the Lord. I leave it to you. Let's open our Bible to the book of Luke chapter 1. We will read from verse 26. I really believe that the Lord wants to build our faith.

For many of us it will be a rebuilding. To bring back our faith. The way it was. In the past. For some of you. It will be a revival of your faith. I really believe that God. Wants to build again something in our hearts.

To build a platform for all that is ahead of us. Often we can get into a system.

Into a mold.

Accept things the way they come. Without realizing. That we can lose some precious things. That God has given us. The worst part is that at one point. It becomes natural and normal. The only thing I pray that the Lord will revive in us.

Is our faith. Not something manufactured. Not something that has been made up. Not something we want to impose on ourselves. For us to become. But that the Spirit of God will seize our heart and give us a desire.

To walk in a new living faith every day of our lives. That there will be an expectation in our hearts. For God to be able to do what he wants. And that his will might be done in our lives. And that somewhere.

And we stop accepting like being molded by something. But that something alive will be awakened in us. That there will be a resurrection of a living faith in our hearts. A rebuilding. And that somewhere we will become men and women of faith.

It doesn't mean that we do not have faith at all for the time being. But I hope that you understand what I am trying to pass to you. A renewing of our faith. A simple faith. A dependency on God. A dependency and an expectation.

A dependency and at the same time a true faith. Do we agree?

Ok, we are going to read some verses in Luke chapter 1 verse 26. Does it seem to encourage you or not? I don't know. I really don't know. It tells you something about becoming men and women of faith.

Does it mean something to you to become men and women of faith? To be expecting something from God every day? To want to see God at work every day? To come out of the natural realm and come in the things of the spirit in the everyday life?

Does that mean something to you guys? Or you just want to carry on living and being driven by the wind? No, the wind blows in different ways. It mustn't become that way for us. Monday we live by unbelief.

Tuesday a little bit of faith comes back. On Wednesday we are totally discouraged. Thursday is total doubt. On Friday we have been to a meeting and there is a little faith that is starting again in our hearts.

Saturday is gone. And Sunday morning we just awaken. Do we want to carry on living that way? No. Isn't it a bit like this? Looking at it, it seems to me that it is a bit like this. I might be wrong. Looking at it, it appears to me that it might be the case.

How do you want to live your life? How do you want to live? Let me tell you, with the things that are ahead of us, if we don't walk by faith, we are cooked. We will be crushed by all kinds of things. Maybe we will get to that verse one day.

Now in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth. To a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, rejoice, highly-feathered one.

The Lord is with you. But she was troubled at this saying and was wondering what kind of greeting that was. Then the angel said to her, do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor before God. You will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son and shall call his name Jesus.

He will be great and will be called the son of the highest. And the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there will be no end.

Then Mary said to the angel, how can this be, since I do not know a man? The angel answered, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you. Therefore also that the only one who is to be born will be called the son of God.

Now indeed Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age. And this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God nothing is impossible. For with God nothing is impossible.

Then Mary said, beyond the maidservant of the Lord, let it be to me according to your word. And the angel departed from her. We see two important things in that scripture. Apart from the normal reaction of a woman who is not married and who has no contact with men.

She is only engaged to a man. And when the angel came to her to tell her what was going to happen. At the beginning she did not understand. But when the angel told her, the Holy Spirit will come upon you.

And the power of the highest will overshadow you.

This is why the only one who is to be born will be called the son of God.

The one who will be born from you will be called the son of God. The angel is telling her that birth will not come out from a result from a human contact. But it will come from God. And the very proof that it is coming from God.

And the one who will be born will be the holiest man of God. And the holy child that will be born will be the son of the most high. And the last thing the angel tells her. Nothing is impossible to God.

Tell your neighbor, nothing is impossible to God. Nothing is impossible to God. Let it be to me according to your word. Brothers and sisters, many of us today were there in the years 70 and 80 where there were so many miraculous interventions of God in many aspects of our lives.

All kinds of divine manifestations. Miracles in lives unbelievable. Healings that you would hardly believe would be possible. Miracles that the man's intelligence cannot even understand. Organs that were recreated in the bodies of men and women.

Rebuilding of members or of bodies. Hundreds of men and women who were lame were walking.

There was no limit.

As a result there was a great faith in the people of God who were seeing and experiencing the power of God. And that sentence, nothing is impossible to God was something real for those who were living in those days.

There was no limit. God not only was capable but was doing extraordinary things. Change of hearts. Incredible miracles in the bodies. There was no limit. And the church was living the reality of what the angel told Mary.

It was not a big deal for a woman who was barren to believe it was possible to conceive. And that sentence that nothing is impossible to God was a reality in the church. Doubt and belief negativism was not to be found.

There was an expectation. There was an expectation. Where we gathered there was expectation. There were so many people who got born again. But true conversions not, I'm not sure, maybe, I believe but radical conversions where that decision, that was it.

It was a time where God was moving in a special way. And there are many of us who are here today who lived, who experienced, who were there at those incredible times. We had a faith in our hearts that would go anywhere to know what is God going to do this time.

It was a reaction, it was a thought that was alive, that was good in our hearts. There was boldness. Can you understand if God's people had that same expectation today? That very same faith today? Not just that unbelief, that doubt and that casual attitude.

Where in our hearts we believe that maybe God will do if I don't know. These kind of sentences were not part of our vocabulary. We would go to see. It was like getting out of your house and going to a movie to see a film.

It was not to go and sit in a chair and see a black screen for one hour and a half and then go home. When you go to the movies you see a film. And when we go to a meeting we are expecting to see something.

That was the case that was animating the heart of the church. It's true that it's a move of God. But what I desire in my heart is somewhere for God to build in us that attitude of faith. Let me say it again, that God would build in us.

Not a manufacture, not a language but something alive in us and true and real. And that this very sentence that nothing is impossible.

And that this sentence that nothing is impossible to God might become part of our lives, part of our belief, part of our everyday life for what God will be doing ahead of us, for what he wants to do in the midst of us each time we meet, a building up of our faith, a resurrection in something that is asleep, that is slumbering.

Nothing is impossible to God. We were in a meeting lately and a brother was telling us how he was in a meeting.

And there was someone who was totally, let's say all his limbs, his fingers, his limbs were completely blocked by their arthritis, their trachea, I don't know. Completely picked up, blocked. And in this meeting a miracle happened.

And as he was present there not only he saw what was happening he heard the members of his own body.

Coming back together and moving back into place. He said as he got home.

He was so much full of fear he couldn't even sleep. Can you understand? Do you understand? Have we got people here today?

Not only see something happening but even hear.

The bones the bones moving into place. Miracle, instantaneous healing. Miracle, instantaneous healing. Blocked all his members of his body just like you heard. Nothing is impossible to God. I think we should say to our neighbour Nothing is impossible with God.

Nothing is impossible with God. And that God would build us and quicken in us in our hearts a faith simple that we carry wherever we go in our everyday life. Faith for everything for our spiritual life.

Before entering into the heart of the subject.

Let's see firstly what are those elements that God would like to see in us.

Let me tell you something that the grace of God is above every unbelief every doubt and anything that is negative. In other words somebody can believe nothing and yet by his grace God does a miracle for him.

He doesn't need anything. This is something we must catch.

That the grace of God is above everything.

Somebody might be here today and believe in absolutely nothing and yet wherever he is the Lord can touch him and make him taste of his love and his grace and right where he is.

Maybe God might be doing that only thing in his life for him to get to a place where he will believe and serve the Lord. And even if a Christian who believes in Jesus and resists him even though it's not the state in which we want to see the Christian.

But just for you to understand the greatness of God's grace God can still can still heal a Christian who rebelled to grab him and get all of his heart and bring him to serve him the next day. Do we agree with that?

We might think somebody rebellious here who has got his life not in order who is living in sin but God is calling him and God is calling him. And if God decides today to make him do a miracle in his life he might have an organ missing if he needs a miracle in his body and that the Lord might do that miracle for him today and grab his heart.

And set him free from his sin and set him free and bring him to serve him. God can or cannot? God can or cannot? God can!

God is not limited by law by techniques by principle and by nothing.

Oh if I could speak to you about the law this morning again. Wherever I go. I want to speak about law but I can't this morning. But I would love to speak to you about law again. Law that defines us.

A Pure Heart as the Platform for Faith

I hate it! Second thing us Christians God is looking for a pure heart. God is looking for a pure heart. This is the platform that we are setting to open the door for a miracle from God. Do we agree on that one?

A pure heart is a right platform. Now if you add faith to that dynamite dynamite Platform is to have a pure heart all the time.

Add faith to it it explodes.

Whatever that means I've seen.

I know Christians who live with unforgiveness.

Bitterness against someone.

And the minute.

They forgive and they release it from their hearts. They get their healing. They receive their healing. This is why the platform is a pure heart. And now if you are a Christian and you are still bound.

Pornography immorality robbing. You know what I'm talking about. You are still bound in your heart. You desire to be free in your heart. You desire to be free. You are sincere. You want to be free. Nothing is impossible to God.

Nothing is impossible to God. For true freedom. In your sincerity you are still bound. That screen you can't do without it. You press buttons to see what you are not supposed to see.

Nothing is impossible to God If in your heart you are sincere and you desire to be free.

Nothing is impossible to God. Nothing is impossible to God. Nothing is impossible to God to do a miracle in your life. We can look at three aspects of our life today. Three aspects of our lives with which we live every day.

Faith for Spiritual Renewal and Family Salvation

The spiritual aspect of our life. To begin with. Who has started to work in our lives and who can complete that work in our lives. And often it stops somewhere. It blocks in our life. We doubt what God can do in our own life.

In the life of my husband, my wife, my kids, the brothers and sisters. Your children who are not serving the Lord today. What is the faith we've got for them? Looking at them. Not much hope. But nothing is impossible to God.

When we struggle.

At looking at the state of our husband or our wife how far our kids are scattered everywhere wasting their lives. Nothing is impossible to God. Nothing. We can struggle in our thoughts. We can struggle with our hands with all the things we hear and we see.

But my brothers and sisters a little bit of faith a little bit of faith brings us to understand and believe that nothing is impossible to God. That child that's living not right.

And for whom I pray. And that I know something.

God wants to do in his life. Nothing is impossible to God. It's in that revival of our faith that I pray that God will bring us.

We can lose the vision. We can lose our faith.

We can lose our peace. We can be slowed down for the work of God. For somewhere there are some things that are impossible to God. Somewhere in our heads we believe that some things are not possible to God.

With God. And yet nothing is impossible with God. That conversion of Paul for me is incredible. From darkness to light. It's a hard heart. It's a heart that is full of bitterness of hatred. To a heart that's tender, soft and who loves God.

In a moment of a time God works in the secret of hearts. God made a way for Paul to be there when Stephen. When Stephen was stoned God was preparing. He was busy preparing. Until the day he saw that bright light on the road to Damascus.

When he heard the voice He had already understood that it was Jesus. There is a whole work that God is busy doing in the hearts. Where is our faith? Who would have believed that Paul would have been saved?

A cross on his life. And yet nothing is impossible with God. We can struggle in the spiritual aspect of our lives. We can see somebody struggling. We can see a brother and a sister struggling. Nothing is impossible with God.

And let me say to you, brother and sister. Faith works much better and much more efficient than us when we try to do something. Faith is much more efficient when we get out of the way and we allow God to do.

And in our hearts it's written. Nothing is impossible to God. Nothing is impossible to God. For my brother, for my sister for my wife, for my husband for my child, for anyone. Nothing is impossible to God.

It's our unbelief mixed with our law. You know that law kills faith? Law kills faith?

It kills it. It removes that dependency on God. And when law replaces faith it's a disaster.

A disaster. It's better to have.

A faith like a mustard seed than have faith rather to have a little seed of faith a little bit. It's better than everything we are all the law we bring with us and everything else. Nothing is impossible to God Nothing.

Faith for Work, Provision, and Physical Healing

Can God find a job for us? You have lost your job?

Times are going to become hard. Times are going to become harder and harder. It's not a prophecy. But unemployment will increase. Somewhere Times will become hard. Can we come at the same level as everybody else?

It's not luck that will cause us to keep our job.

It's not luck that will cause us to find our job again in hard times. No. It's not our friendship with a brother. It's not God for our needs.

It's our faith. That simple faith where we expect from God. Where we come because we know something is going to happen. Knowing I'm going to sleep knowing that God will know and give me what I need. We will need it.

Tomorrow we will need that.

It will be no longer.

By luck or by coincidence It will be a walk of faith an expectancy a conviction that something.

Will happen. I come the way it is. My heart is open.

I'm going to receive something. Do you agree? What is too hard for God? What are the sickness.

That we suffer from that are too big for God? Let me say something to you this morning brothers and sisters. Very simple things but true. Many of us. Many of us.

We hardly believe anymore. We have given up and we don't believe in miracles anymore. We have given up on believing in God's intervention in our life. I pray that God will awaken us and build a faith again in us.

You have drunk too much and your liver is in a bad shape. What's the big deal for God to give you a new liver? You've got an ear that doesn't hear anymore. Is that too much for God to open that ear and cause you to hear again?

You've got a lump in something. Is it too big for God to remove that lump? Is that too much for God? Is that hard for God? You've got a chronic disease in you.

Is it too hard for God and too big for God to touch you and set you free?

You've got organs that are damaged. Is it too big for the Lord to restore it? To cure it? To heal it? To do a miracle in that area of your life? It's too silent here. You suffer from. You're suffering from your back troubles for years and you need to have surgery.

Is that too big for God to heal you? You're suffering from diabetes. Is it too big, too hard for God to heal you? I'm speaking to hundreds of people right now. What is too big for God? What is too hard for the Lord?

Is it too hard for God to spare you from that?

To do a miracle for you?

Do you have situations in your body that are renewing each time and you can't be freed from that?

Do you suffer from things that happen currently in your body and you don't get money to get healed from that? It comes, it goes.

It comes, it goes. Is it too hard for the Lord to set us free from that? Is that too hard for God to set us free from that?

Too big? Gabriel said to Mary Nothing is impossible with God Let it be done to me according to your word. I believe that God wants to awaken something in us.

I think that God wants to awaken our faith.

Wants to quicken our faith that in our hearts we expect. We have an expectation of a miracle natural or divine. Why do we want to choose? It's good to have a natural. We are not against it. No. But what's the best?

What's better? When the natural doesn't work anymore it's only the divine and the miraculous that can. Do we agree? Is cancer too big for God? Is AIDS too big for God? What is too big for God? What is impossible to God?

Nothing. My brothers and sisters nothing. If only our hearts could be awakened a little bit in faith it would change our lives. If there's one part of our lives that needs to change to cause us to stand firm in the future as from now it's our faith.

Our faith. Each of us are going to live in different situations. We are going to face different situations of our life. And a miracle is within our reach. A healing is within our reach. We are children of God.

We are children of God. And nothing is too big for our God. We must be stopped by nothing.

We should not allow ourselves.

To be moved by any situation. And God wants to prepare our hearts for everything that we are going to face ahead of us down the road. Nothing is impossible to God.

Brothers and sisters Nothing Nothing is impossible with God With the God that we serve This is the God we serve.

And I pray that God will awaken our faith somewhere which would be always expected. I'm going for that.

I'm awaking for a miracle.

I'm waking up for an intervention of God in my life.

I'm waking up for a provision of God in my life. My work doesn't work. It's not going well.

I'm waking up for a new day. With Jesus. For His intervention. It's too easy to let ourselves go.

God is able. My God is able. Your God is able. We have the same God. He is able. He is able to heal us To give us love To provide our needs To cause us to grow To touch the heart of someone To touch the heart of my husband.

He is rebellious.

For the Lord to touch him. To stay in that state of faith. Do you agree with us? With me? Something needs to happen. Something needs to happen in us.

Let's stand. The power of God. To touch us. Change our hearts. What is it for God? To provide for our needs. To touch the heart of an individual. To bless us.

To meet our needs You know We want to bring about lots of principles of theories of techniques. Conditions. It's true we cannot take our life lightly. But faith in our hearts triggers many things triggers many things.

And I pray that we may each of us not to be sleeping but to be awakened in our faith. We can choose to live in the natural or to live with God who knows how to take care of us. He has not changed. The same God of the year 70s.

Is the same God today. The same God who opened the Red Sea is the same God today. The same God who did miracles. The same Jesus who did miracles is the same today. The same Jesus who opened the eyes.

Of a blind man is the same Jesus today He is the same. Nothing is impossible to God. Nothing is too great or too wonderful for the Lord. Is there something which is too hard for God.

Biblical Examples of Impossible Faith

The disciples were amazed.

That Jesus would rise up in the middle of the night and threaten the wind and the sea. And immediately it became calm. They were amazed. The same God that we serve today. The same faith that there was in the heart of that man.

That woman who for years.

Had a flow of blood. The same faith that was in the heart of that woman and to know in her heart.

That she only needed to touch the hem of his garment to be healed. The same faith must be in our hearts today and tomorrow and for what is coming. The same faith. The same faith of Bartimaeus. You can.

You can. You can. There was not a chance that the disciples could bring back the fish where they threw the nets. No chance. You don't even have to ask where the fish will come from. There was no chance.

There was no chance.

They just threw the nets. How come the fish got there. We don't know God only knows how the fish just happened there to be there then. And yet there was nothing. One minute before there was nothing. And the next minute they were there Nothing was possible with God.

Nothing was possible with God. There's nothing and suddenly there is. Everything is gone. And in the next minute everything is back. Your organ must be finished, destroyed. And suddenly in the next second It's back there.

It's a new one. It's new.

It's new. It's in the next second. It's new. Just a matter of a second. You have thought so much the contrary. So much.

Spoken the contrary. So much accepted the contrary. It doesn't become chronic. It then becomes chronic. Our attitude becomes chronic. It's part of us.

Nothing is impossible to God. You don't have a work. You are unemployed. In what you do your trade there is no work. God can find a job like this for you. He creates a job for you. There is no work.

There is none But God He creates a job just for you. Just for you. Nothing is impossible to God.

With God Last thing In 79.

We had just built a home. As soon as the house was finished God saved us. And we become a child of God. In 79 There was no market to sell a house. Nobody was buying houses. I went to see a brother who was an estate agent.

Came to the house. There is no clients for such a house. He says it's not about your price being too high but there is no clients. We wanted to sell the house to serve the Lord and to go in South Africa.

One week was too much. That same agent a Christian brought a guy to our house who bought our house within a week. Nothing is impossible with God. No clients. There was no clients. I've got nobody to bring to visit your house.

But God finds a client. He finds a fish. He creates him and brings him there. He sends him in the net. Too much fish. Help, help, help, please. Nothing is impossible with God. You might be suffering for 20 years.

12. For 12 years she was suffering. For how long have you been suffering? What is degenerating in you? In me. In us. Nothing is impossible with God. Nothing. What is falling apart? Turns the other way up.

Nothing. Your child. His heart is so hard He's insolent. He's rebellious. He's in the world. Nothing is impossible with God. Nothing. As from today We rise up in the morning. We wake up in faith. Do we wake up?

Do we agree we wake up in faith? In faith. Today. Now We can rise up in faith and declare that with God nothing is impossible. Nothing is impossible to my God.

Nothing is impossible with our God. Nothing. Tell your neighbor nothing. Do you all agree? Who agrees?

Who agrees to receive something from the Lord now?

And whatever God puts in our hearts today. Whatever it is.

We are no longer ready to lose that.

We are no longer ready to let the devil steal from us from the reality.

That nothing is impossible with our God. Nothing is impossible with our God. Nothing is impossible. In other words, everything is possible to God. What is missing in our lives? In our spiritual state?

We're discouraged. I'm a slave to that. I love Jesus. I'm a slave, I can't get rid of that. I can't. Do you think today you can? Do you think God can do this for you today?

Do you think God can do that for you today?

You've been a slave for five years. Five years. That you're a slave. Five years. I come to church. I'm here. I love Jesus. But nothing is happening. Where is your faith today? Do you have a little bit of faith?

You don't need a lot.

You just need a seed. A just mustard seed. A mustard seed.
