The U.S.A. Weekend Seminar Series

“Faith”

1. All seminars are held by invitation from your church or ministry.

2. Because of the amount of materials that must be covered six weekend sessions are required. We travel by auto as a family, with our four children, when asked to minister in the Southwest. This includes New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona and the western Texas areas.

3. Outside of this geographical area, I, Jose, will come alone by airplane.

4. In most seminars, the Lord leads us to have times of ministry, which include words of knowledge, prophetical words, and healings. If your church desires for this type of ministry within the teaching times we can accommodate this. If however you would only desire to have a straight teaching seminar, we will honor this as well. Our vision and calling is to assist your ministry in receiving the greatest benefits during this time.

5. We do not request honorariums or love offerings, but trust the Lord to speak to the hosting church as to what His will is.

6. Our ministerial requirements from you the hosting church are room and board either in a motel or at one of the brethren’s home during our stay, and a roundtrip airplane ticket for Jose if he comes alone by airplane.

7. Thank you and God bless you!

Principles of Faith

We Must Live Through The Faith of God

Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in (Have the “God kind” of faith, or the faith OF GOD!) God.

· (God is in the genitive Greek case signifying possession; therefore it is “God possessing something”; in this case, “God’s possession of faith”)

Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live (every last affair of life must be lived in the realm of faith) in the flesh I live by the faith, of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

· Greek: The life which I now live in the flesh, I live in faith, this being the faith which dwells in the Son of God. (Genitive Greek case signifying possession)

· The faith flowing through Christ; even the faith that comes out of Christ living continuously in me.

Romans 10:17 So then faith (subjective) cometh by hearing, and hearing by the rhema word of God/subjective

· (Greek: So then faith gets its life from hearing, but the type of hearing, which describes faith, must be exclusively one which comes through the rhema word of God.

· Faith possesses something that is called the rhema word of God.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The rhema word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the rhema word(subjective) of faith (objective), (Grammar case of relationship, location, and instrumentality, between the rhema word and us)

which we preach;

· Every rhema word represents an itemized description of God’s measure of faith, as He has tailored it for every situation in which He speaks the rhema word into. It is therefore an account of what the Lord can accomplish within a particular circumstance.

· With my heart faith is exercised resulting in righteousness and with my mouth confession (homologia) is made resulting salvation.

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing (rhema word) shall be impossible.

q (The English is a poor translation: Greek: For with God every rhema word has the (indwelling) dunamis power to come to pass.

q Secondly, the rhema word not only carries with it God’s measure of faith, but also God’s dunamis power.

John 17:8 For I have given unto them the rhema words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

q Thirdly, every rhema word reveals the Person of Christ. As Christ is revealed, the faith and power that He possesses, is manifested alongside with Him.

Saturday/ Session # 2

The Faith of Abraham

Romans 4:12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk (march as a soldier ) in the steps ( footprints) of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

Romans 4:17 ¶ (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth(substantive/ subjective) the dead (direct object/corpses) and calleth(substantive/ subjective) those things which be (direct object)e not as though they were.

q Greek translation and also my own paraphrase; Abraham once and for all, (aorist tense) believed God. Who is the God whom he believed in?

q Abraham believed in the God whose nature is to continuously give life to the dead i.e. (Greek; Circumstances which are so dead that they are corpse like).

q He is also the God who continuously calls the things which are not, as if they are. (The word “as” is a very interesting word. It means in the same manner as, or having the same content).

Romans 4:18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he (accusative) might become the father (subjective) of many nations, according to that which was spoken(substantive), So shall thy seed be.

· Greek: Abraham, with all hope having being aside, believed upon a foundation of hope, that he might become the father of many nations, in relation to the rhema word which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

· Doctrine of works “if you do” Doctrine of faith “Do you believe”

Romans 4:19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body(direct object)

now dead (now in a permanent state of a corpse/substantive) , when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness (the corpse-likeness) of Sara’s womb:

· He considered his own body now in a state of a corpse and the corpse of the womb of Sarah.

· God’s nature is to deal with things and affairs that have become corpses

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong (Receiving God’s power) in faith, giving glory(direct object) to God;

· In the view of the promises of God he did not vacillate between two diametrically opposed outcomes but was strengthened with God’s dunamis power as to regards to faith, in that he maintained himself close to God at all times.

21 And being fully persuaded that, what(subject) he had promised, he was able also to perform.

· What God promised He was able and capable to complete in its totality.

Saturday/ Session # 3 (CONTINUED)

Faith out of the Book of Hebrews

Hebrews 4:2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

• As the mixing of alloys in equal proportions to produce a metal

Hebrews 6:5 And have tasted the good rhema word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

q Greek: The rhema word of God brings the dunamis power of the coming ages into this present one.

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful(sluggard) , but followers (mimics) of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 10:38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

· Now my righteous person shall live by faith as the root source of his very life. If he draws back in fear my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Heb 11:1 ¶ Now faith (subject) is the substance (subjective) of things hoped for (substantive), the evidence(subjective) of things not(absolutely not) seen(substantive).

• Substance from two Greek words defined as a “standing under something” The substructure or hidden foundation, the substance and essence, of what is asked for is immediately changed from that of what was, into the one which was asked for. (The timelessness and immediate consequence of the aorist tense.)
• The proving to the eyes of our heart, what our physical eyes cannot see.
• I.E.; when the Lord tells us that a person’s cancer has been healed, immediately and at once, the substance and the essence are altered.

2 For by it (location/ instrumentality of faith) the elders obtained a good report.

· The ancient men of God through faith so lived that they obtained a good witness

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) we understand (only through faith can we continually grasp and understand) that the worlds (accusative) were framed (equipped) by the rhema word/(instrumentality, location) of God, so that things which are seen (substantive) were not made of things which do appear (substantive).

q Greek: The worlds were framed by the rhema word of God, so that the things that we presently see with our eyes were made out of things that cannot be seen by the eye. In other words, God always creates what is physically evident to us, out of things which are physically invisible, through the rhema word. This is the title deed of the rhema word.

The word “framed” is the same word used for the mending of the fishing nets by the apostle Peter. It is also defined as the full equipping towards the successful carrying out of a mission. The “framing” of the United States armed forces in the Persian Gulf Crisis tells us that they were furnished with the quality and quantity of armaments, food, gear, and clothing that were needed to furnish them a total victory.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying (genitive absolute) of his gifts: and by it he being dead (died off or perished) yet speaketh. (Yet speaks prophetically)

Hebrews 11:5 By faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) Enoch was translated that he should not see death (Direct object); and was not found, because God (Subject) had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

· Being located in the world of faith, and by the instrumentality of faith, Enoch was physically moved so that he would not see, or intuitively know death in any of its aspects. He was absolutely not found in any of the realms that represented death.

Saturday/ Session # 4

Faith From Hebrews (CONTINUED)

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith (Genitive-what belongs to faith) it is impossible to please him: for he (Substantive) that cometh to God (direct object)must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

· Without faith there is a vacuum of dunamis power to please God.

· For those who investigate, research, and seek out God, and his things, He becomes a proportional reward giver.

Hebrews 11:7 By faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) Noah, being warned of God of things not seen(substantive) as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark (Direct object) to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir (Subjective) of the righteousness which is by faith.

· Being divinely instructed and admonished concerning the things that he could not see with human the human eyes

· “The things yet not seen” what was what well known to Noah, or what had a three dimensional substance to him. The physical world acquired no reality or became simply two-dimensional.

8 By faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place (Retained object) which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

· He was called was in the present tense.

· He obeyed- Greek: “a military submission to hearing”

· He went out; As we go out with the word of God.

· Not knowing ‘Having nothing in the physical realm which was set and standing before him so that he could grasp and follow. He had no acquaintance with what God had called him to do.

9) By faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) he sojourned (dwelled besides but not in the neighborhood) in the land of promise, as in a strange country( belonging to another), dwelling in tabernacles (having his earthly inhabitance in temporary housing) with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked (was expecting) for a city (direct object) which hath foundations (substantive), whose builder (technician or craftsman) and maker (“the worker for the people,” as technician and craftsman of the new foundations which only faith builds) is God.

11 Through faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) also Sara herself received strength (received dunamis power/ direct object) to conceive (to lay down a foundation of)seed (spermatos/ a posterity as the number of the stars and the sand by the seashore/subjective), and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. (Substantive)

12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

• My Greek paraphrase Therefore also from one were born (many) though that specific one was in a perfect state of a corpse; and these many, in relationship to the stars of heaven, equal to the number of the fullness of their multitude; and just as the sand by the side of the shore of the sea is so much in number that arithmetic cannot calculate it.

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received (to the one who had taken up and welcomed all of God’s promises) the promises offered up his only begotten son,

19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

• Reckoning that out of the root system that had become corpse like, God was capable and able to raise up….

20 By faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) Isaac blessed (a completed execution of blessings) Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

21 By faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed (a completed execution of blessings) both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

22 By faith (location/ instrumentality of faith) Joseph, when he died (when he was dying off), made mention
