How to Have God’s Faith
“Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done.” (Mark 11:22-23 TPT)
In the passage above, Jesus said the “faith of God” and not “faith in God”. If we want to perform mighty miracles like casting a mountain into the sea, we will need to receive God’s own faith.
“For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3 WEB)
You see, there is the measure of faith that God already gave to us in the past, and also God’s own faith that He gives to believers at appointed timings.
The former is the one that we keep free from unbelief through daily renewing of the mind, while the latter is more powerful because it is pure and guaranteed to mightily prosper in its intended purpose.
“But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit; and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages. But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.” (1 Corinthians 12:7-11 WEB)
Faith is one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. He distributes this “faith of God” at times. Every believer can receive this.
To understand when this God-faith comes, we have to know the delivery system:
“Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One.” (Romans 10:17 TPT)
Many English Bible translations do a poor job of translating the verse above. They stray from the original Greek meaning. However, I like the translation I quoted above.
The words translated as “anointed utterance” in Greek is “rhematos” which means “a spoken word”. “The Anointed One” is Christou, which is Christ.
“Rhematos Christou” is not referring to God’s written Scriptures in general. That one would be the logos word, or “what God has said before”. The rhema word is talking about what Christ is currently actively saying to you through His Spirit inside you.
When Jesus speaks a rhema word to you, it carries God’s authority. When you hear and act upon that word, the “faith of God” is imparted to you for mighty power to be released. This is when miracles and breakthroughs flow.
Let us see this in action:
“Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.” He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.” (Matthew 14:28-29 WEB)
Jesus said “Come,” and this rhema word carried the authority for Peter to transcend the natural laws of nature. When Peter heard the command and acted upon it, the “faith of God” was imparted to him, empowering him to walk on the waters.
You may be surprised by this, but even Jesus depended on the rhema word from His Father during His earthly ministry.
“Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” (John 5:19-20 WEB)
Before doing any miracle, Jesus first received the rhema word from the Father, and He simply obeyed, acting upon what the Father showed Him.
When Jesus acted upon the rhema word, God’s power flows because the authority, faith, and will of God are working in perfect synergy.
It is therefore most crucial that we ask the Lord to give us the rhema word for our situation. To receive it, you can calm your emotions and pray about your situation, listening in silence to see what the Holy Spirit brings to your attention.
Other than that, sometimes He uses your pastor or Christian friend to speak divinely inspired words to you. The Holy Spirit is the source of the rhema word. The way He delivers it isn’t the most important thing, so be open to however He chooses to convey the rhema word to you.
When it comes, grab hold of it in your heart, and act upon it, for it is the key to unlock God’s supernatural provision in your situation!
The 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in the four gospels show us God’s heart of love and Grace towards us. As you explore them in “Messiah’s Miracles”, faith will arise in your heart to receive miraculous breakthroughs in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

#葉郎每日讀報 #娛樂產業國際要聞揀3條
│本週開除 Paramount 片廠主席之後,ViacomCBS 要把旗下這家百年電影片廠變成一個什麼樣的部門?│
• 本週好萊塢唯一比 Christopher Nolan 改投 Universal 更稱得上是震撼彈的消息是:華爾街日報披露擁有 ViacomCBS 的 Redstone 家族無預警地請旗下的電影製片廠 Paramount 的主席兼執行長 Jim Gianopulos 打包走人。 Jim Gianopulos 在2017年空降 Paramount 之前,原本在 Fox 主管 20th Century Fox、Fox Searchlight、Fox 2000、Fox Animation/Blue Sky Studios 等等多個製片廠,並且擁有《Titanic 鐵達尼號》和《Avatar 阿凡達》兩部打破一切記錄的電影資歷。
• 突然換將的理由是繼承父親 Sumner Redstone 事業的 Shri Redstone 準備大幅改組整個 ViacomCBS 集團。 Sumner Redstone 過世前原本堅持 Viacom 和 CBS 應該拆分成兩個集團,並且從未將正在崛起的串流當成集團最優先的業務。直到女兒好不容易接班,才費盡力氣說服兩個公司股東合併的利大於弊,尤其是整合起來的片庫才有機會加入串流大戰。經歷這些波折之後, ViacomCBS 姍姍來遲地在今年3月推出串流服務 Paramount+。
• 有鑑於競爭對手 Disney 和 WarnerMedia 都在去年就經歷深度組織改造,以打造完全以串流為第一優先的團隊(Warner 明年還要面臨與 Discovery 整併的另一波改組), Shri Redstone 因此將進一步改組 Paramount 這家百年老片廠。未來 Paramount 旗下的電影製作業務和電視製作業務將被拆分開來,其中電影製作將改由目前監管兒童頻道 Nickelodeon的 Brian Robbins 接手,電視製作將由 ViacomCBS 電視事業主管 David Nevins 兼管。過去一年好萊塢的改組多半與淘汰傳統電影思維有關,希望讓大腦更貼近串流業務的人可以掌握更大的決策權。被突然撤換的 Paramount 主席兼執行長 Jim Gianopulos 顯然不是老闆心目中的那個串流大腦。
• 去年疫情剛剛在全球擴散的時候,我曾寫過一篇文章回顧 Paramount 如何利用1918年橫掃全球的西班牙流感疫情,併購下游電影院,打造好萊塢第一個橫跨製作、發行和映演的超級托拉斯。100年後 Paramount 為何成為遠遠落後對手的下場?
• Forbes 的分析認為一切都跟 COVID-19 疫情完全無關, Paramount 已經在下坡路上好一陣子了。不過才幾年前 Paramount 原本還是不可一世的那家,不僅有 Tom Cruise 的《Mission Impossible 不可能的任務》系列、Hasbro 合作《Transformers 變形金剛》系列、DreamWorks Animation 的《Kung Fu Panda 功夫熊貓》系列,許多人可能早就忘記如今歸在米老鼠帝國旗下的 LucasFilm 的 Indiana Jones 系列電影以及 Marvel 的《Iron Man 鋼鐵人》系列電影原本都是以 Paramount 電影的名義發行。Paramount 一系列致命的錯誤決策包括把 Indiana Jones 讓渡給 Disney 以便跟 Disney 交換當時的超級製作人 Jerry Bruckheimer 的合作合約,另外一個更令他們後悔莫及的決策就是在 Disney 出價之前回絕了收購 Marvel 的提議。Paramount 隨後一系列搞砸的製作包含《Star Trek Beyond 星際爭霸戰:浩瀚無垠》《Downsizing 縮小人生》、《Annihilation 滅絕》和《Gemini Man 雙子殺手》,等於早在疫情襲來之前就已陷入和 Fox 有七十八分像的死亡螺旋。
• Hollywood Reporter 則認為 Paramount 的主席兼執行長 Jim Gianopulos 在過去這段期間深深陷入了無解的兩難。他的左手是大老闆 Shari Redstone 不斷施壓希望他盡可能餵更多內容給現在集團的一切希望所在—— 串流服務 Paramout+。他的右手則還要應付當家小生 Tom Cruise 的《Mission: Impossible 不可能的任務》和《Top Gun 捍衛戰士》 兩個系列電影必須一延再延的財務壓力,以滿足這些明星和創作者對於電影院專屬發行的不可能的堅持。
• Nickelodeon 的執行長 Brian Robbins 來做難道就有解?來自內部消息人士的說法指出 Paramount 仍會守住電影院這個通路,不過目前為止該公司其實從來沒有白紙黑字公開說過類似的話。ViacomCBS 的財務長 Naveen Chopra 則試圖安撫大家的焦慮,認為 Nickelodeon 的執行長 Brian Robbins 同時熟悉傳統發行通路和串流這個未來商業模式,自然可以掌握平衡點。值得注意的是 Brian Robbins 在專心當專業經理人之前其實做過製片和導演,還執導過運動電影《Varsity Blues 主力難當》和喜劇電影《Norbit 糯米正傳》。另外一個內部消息來源認為 Brian Robbins 至少比 WarnerMedia 執行長 Jason Kilar 更懂電影,因為 Kilar 完全是串流技術背景,才會把 Warner 的串流轉型搞得天怒人怨。
• 但另外一個不太妙的角度來自一個不具名的同業告訴 Hollywood Reporter 說「在我記憶範圍內 Brian Robbins 此生從未監管過任何一部讓人喊 WOW 的電影」。報導也認為Nickelodeon 的執行長 Brian Robbins 之所以雀屏中選是因為他早先在疫情中發行的動畫電影《PAW Patrol: The Movie 汪汪隊立大功電影版》。該片的三大特色 A) 預算節制 B) 和串流同步發行 C) 大量置入行銷很可能就是大老闆 Sumner Redstone 對於整個 Paramount 的未來期待。如果這個猜測成真,Paramount 恐怕會永遠跟那些昂貴的大片(以及昂貴的 Tom Cruise、他的昂貴分紅以及他對於電影院專屬發行的昂貴堅持)以及所有電影觀眾的 WOW 說再見。

│主導開發 Disney+ 的 Kevin Mayer 正在用黑石集團的20億美元打造一個專注在內容、商務和社群的未來商業模式上的新娛樂集團│
•兩位來自 Disney 集團的畢業生 Kevin Mayer 和 Thomas Staggs 不久前組了一個 SPAC 特殊目的收購公司,並獲得 Blackstone Group 黑石集團大手筆的20億美元資金,開始到處收購影視製作相關的公司。Kevin Mayer 在拿下估值高達8、9億美元之多的 《The Morning Show 晨間直播秀》製片公司 Hello Sunshine 並讓該公司創辦人 Reese Witherspoon 成為好萊塢身價最高的女明星之後,今天首度在一場英國皇家電視學會的活動中談及他創辦的這家連沒有名字都還沒取就已經在影視產業投下震撼彈的新公司發展方向。
• 人物背景複習:被黑石指定為新公司共同執行長的兩位好萊塢資深高管,包含 Disney 前營運長 Thomas Staggs 以及原本在 Disney 主管 DTC 和國際業務的 Kevin Mayer。 Kevin Mayer 原本會是 Disney 執行長 Bob Iger 呼聲最高的接班人選。從 Miramax、Lucasfilm、Pixar、Marvel 到 Fox 的併購都有 Mayer 的身影,更別提如今整個 Disney 未來命脈所在的 Disney+ 正是他一手主導開發。然而去年初 Bob Iger 在一片錯愕聲中將 Disney 執行長的位置交給了主管主題樂園業務的 Bob Chapek,逼使 Kevin Mayer 黯然離開 Disney(後來曾短暫擔任 TikTok 執行長3個月)。
• 黑石和 Kevin Mayer 看準了串流大戰對於內容製作的史無前例強烈需求,將投資主力放在有串流經驗的製作公司之上。除了 Reese Witherspoon 的製片公司 Hello Sunshine 之外,根據先前 Variety 的報導他們也在評估購買 NBA 球星 LeBron James 的製片公司 SpringHill 和導演 Ron Howard 的 Imagine Entertainment。加上早先讀報中注意到的新聞說黑石集團與房地產投資商 Hudson Pacific 合作買下倫敦北邊大約 36.8萬平方公尺的土地用以興建新的 Sunset Studios 攝影棚的倫敦新棚,讓這家連名字都還來不及取的新公司在還沒開張營業時就已經讓許多好萊塢公司另眼相看。
• 黑石和 Kevin Mayer 並不是市場上唯一到處在買公司的金主。事實上他們原本看上的 LeBron James 的製片公司 SpringHill 這兩天就被另一個投資公司劫標成功。買下 SpringHill 的 RedBird Capital Partners 同時也投資了運動頻道 YES network,並且和前運動明星、現任好萊塢片酬最高明星 Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson 集資1500萬美元買下美式足球聯盟 XFL。
• 回到 Kevin Mayer 身上,他今天的演講重點:
1. Kevin Mayer 先承認了這兩天媒體報得沸沸揚揚的傳聞說他已經洽談準備收購 Will Smith 和 Jada Pinkett Smith 夫妻創辦的製片公司 Westbrook Inc。該公司除了製作 Will Smith 夫妻參與演出的相關節目之外,也是最早在 YouTube 播出、後來成為 Netflix 熱門節目的電視劇《Cobra Kai 眼鏡蛇道館》的製作公司。
2. Hello Sunshine 和 Westbrook 只是該公司整個大計畫中的一小部分。他們將繼續尋找各種類型的傑出企業和品牌,以滿足整個消費光譜中的所有觀眾。他沒有透露後續還會併購什麼樣類型的公司,但明白表示確實還有好幾家公司正在評估中。
3. Mayer 說這家新公司將專注在內容、商務和社群的未來商業模式之上,並將以全世界的消費者為目標。他特別強調「社群」將是他們業務的重要一部分。雖然 Mayer 只當了 TikTok 抖音的執行長沒幾天,顯然很有自己的社群心得。
4. 因為是在英國電視學會的場合,因此 Mayer 說他和創業夥伴 Thomas Staggs 搜尋併購目標的範圍涵蓋全世界各國,當然也不排除併購英國本地的公司。然而被問到正準備私有化的英國公共頻道 Channel 4,他有點失禮地斬釘截鐵說「我們不買廣播電視台」。畢竟串流才是未來,誰要買天知道還能撐多久的日落產業。
5. Mayer 也提及了跟新公司無關的議題。他自己擔任董事長的運動串流服務 DAZN 最近被排除在英格蘭足球聯賽的轉播權競標的資格之外,Mayer 表示遺憾之外並希望未來 DAZN 仍有機會在談判桌上和其他對手一起競爭出價。另一方面值得注意的是他特別強調 DAZN 短期內應該不會參與美國職棒大聯盟的轉播權競標,理由是美國市場並非他們的策略重心,因此不打算投注太多資源在美國賽事上。這一點其實也符合他在黑石投資的新公司的市場策略——優先打造一個滿足全球觀眾的服務,而不是打造一個美國服務然後再推銷給全世界其他人。
