Spirit Food January-February 2022

Hello Church,

The Holy Spirit has directed us at Mark Krom Ministries to provide a series;

we'll call it "Spirit Food. “Our purpose in doing this is to assist you in your

spiritual growth within the body of Jesus Christ (the anointed one and His

anointing).

The physical body requires food for nourishment; the spirit also requires

feeding for spiritual growth. Hosea 4:6 says – "My people are destroyed for

lack of knowledge …". Brothers and sisters in Christ, we truly desire you to

live blessed lives in accordance with Deuteronomy 28:1-14. To live this

type of life, however, if you have not already done so, make the quality

decision to make God's Word the final authority in your life. These sessions

will aid in your spiritual growth process. Once you are presented with what

the Word of God has to say about an issue, you are responsible for

receiving His love, grace, mercy & favor, and the gift of His righteousness.

Remember, you are incredibly blessed, highly favored, and deeply loved by

your Heavenly Father.

Today, let's focus on:

Matthew 8:10 & 13 (NKJV) – "When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said

to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such

great faith, not even in Israel! Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your

way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you. “And his servant

was healed that same hour."

There are two places in the Bible where Jesus said they had "great faith.

“The first was the Roman centurion whose servant was healed by Jesus'

Word (Matthew 8:5-13), and the other was the Syro-Phoenician woman,

whose demon-possessed daughter was also healed by Jesus (Matthew

15:21-28). Perhaps you can take a few minutes and read both accounts

from your Bible.

As we look at these two accounts, they had in common that they were

both non-Jews (Gentiles), so they weren't raised being taught as Jews.

Neither of them was under the law of Moses, and therefore they did not

know the law, so they did not disqualify themselves. Church, we as born again believers need to realize that we are not under condemnation by law (the Ten Commandments),

so we can receive and believe our Heavenly Father's grace and mercy towards us! 

We can develop great faith by receiving and accepting His Word for us! Remember, the law was given to

the Israelites to identify the sin in their lives. As even before the law was

passed, they had such an egotistical view of themselves that they said, "All

that the Lord has spoken we will do." (Exodus 19:8)! And the Ten

Commandments hadn't even been given yet; they weren't given until

Exodus 20.

The Bible itself plainly says that "the law is not of faith" (Galatians 3:12),

and in another place, it says, "For if those who are of the law are heirs,

faith is made void and the promise made of no effect (Romans 4:14). Faith

(right believing) in His grace qualifies God's people and stirs up great faith

unconsciously to receive what they need from the Lord. Right believing

leads to Right Decision making, and Right Decision-making leads to Right

Actions, and Right Actions lead to Right Living. Your will is involved.

I encourage you – the more you see Jesus – His beauty and His finished

work of grace – the more faith arises in your heart. You will have

unconscious faith to believe what God's Word says about you and to ask

boldly of Him. It's truly all about Jesus, seeing His love, and allowing Him

to love you and be gracious to you!

Heavenly Father, your Word says in Romans 10:9-10- "that if I confess

with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that You raised Him

from the dead, that I would be saved. For with the heart, one believes

unto salvation." I believe your Word, Heavenly Father, and confess Jesus

Christ (the anointed one and His anointing) as Lord of my life now. I

believe that You raised Him from the dead. I acknowledge that I was a

sinner, but now I've been saved by Your grace, and in Your thoughts, I am

currently in right standing with You. I denounce Satan and all he stands

for. In Jesus Name. Amen (so be it).

Congratulations! If this is your first time praying this prayer, please write

and let us know. Should you decide to give and financially support this

ministry with gifts given in faith, I join my faith with yours to see the

devour rebuked (Malachi 3:11) and for you to receive a harvest; pressed

down, shaken together, and running over (Luke 6:38). Please remember to

name your seed! 

Your Brother In Christ,
