In this brief sermon, the speaker urges listeners to recognize that they are more capable than they imagine and to cultivate a personal, internalized faith in Jesus rather than relying on "borrowed" faith handed down from family, pastors, or teachers. He cites Matthew 16:25, explaining the Greek word "psyche" as both "life" and "soul," and interprets the verse to mean that seeking to preserve one's own soul leads to its loss. The speaker suggests that this paradox arises because inherited faith is merely a temporary loan that can bring one into the kingdom, but cannot sustain a lasting relationship with God. He calls the audience to develop a faith that originates from within, allowing them to truly live out the kingdom.

Chapters

You are so much more than you can imagine. Have faith in the Jesus inside of you. Into this body that Jesus is looking for, to grow into a body that can carry his head. And it has to do with whose faith you're standing on. Jesus said, whoever desires to save his life will lose it. Matthew chapter 16, verse 25. And the word for life in the Greek is the word Psyche, psyche. You spell it P-S-Y-C-H-E, and it is the same word for soul. So the verse can be read this way: whoever desires to save his soul will lose it. And I asked the Lord one day, why would I want to lose my soul? And here's what I sensed him say back to me: because the faith that is delivered to you is often a faith that has been given to you by someone else. It is your grandfather's faith. It is your mother's faith. It is your uncle's faith. It is your daddy's faith. It is your pastor's faith. It is your Sunday school teacher's faith. It is the faith of a person who led you to Christ. And God will let you come into the kingdom on borrowed faith. He'll let you come into the kingdom on borrowed faith, but he will not let you stay in the kingdom on borrowed faith.
