Faith Part 2

Hello all. I hope you are doing well today. Let's discuss this thing called faith.Faith is a substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The focus of your faith should be on the things that are spiritual[the unseen]. The realm of the seen is just temporary, yet most christians focus on the seen realm. Faith is now, it is not tomorrow, it is not yesterday,
it is now. This is a benefit for us because now we are not limited to time. As an eternal being, my thinking must be in the eternal realm, when I am facing a problem. I'm not going to ask God to move the mountain for me{mat 21:21]. I am the one who has the authority to speak to the mountain and it be removed. There are things that you are praying to God to fix for you, when really all you need to do is speak to it yourself, and use your faith to change the circumstance.

Faith only comes by the Word of God. Many preachers are not preaching the word, they are preaching their denomination or their church bylaws, and faith is not coming out of that. Many christians have little faith because the pastors have little faith. You can tell it in their speech.
God is not the author of sickness, yet many christians believe that Jesus makes a person sick in order to teach them a lesson. He uses the apostle,prophet,evangelist,pastor and teacher. He doesn't need them and sickness and poverty and disease[dis-ease] to teach you anything. We must rightly divide the word of truth from a word that lies. If we are sons of God, then we must function like God. This means I can speak to a situation that is thousands of miles away, and from that distance, my word mixed with faith will change that issue.

I am not limited to anything, If God Is unlimited, so am I. In matthew 14:2 Jesus said that in my fathers house are many mansions, but the scripture doesn't tell how many is "many"? This is why, when He made you his house[1cor3:9] He put no limit inside you ,cause He can't live in a house that has walls.

Let's get into scripture. Hewbrews 11:2 says " for by it [faith] the "ELDERS" obtain a good report. Now this scripture doesn't say "babes", it says" elders". Faith, just like a man, has to grow up and be developed. It is similar to a baby being born. Babies are handed everything they need to survive: watch the illustration
1. crib: twin, double, queen, king; the more you grow, the more room u need to rest

2. milk: small bites, solid food; the more you grow, the more you can eat

3.diapers: pull ups: underwear : the more you grow, the more you have the ability to clean up yourself
4. clothes: the more you grow, the larger the covering must be, so that you are not exposed to the elements
So somewhere in your faith, you should graduate into being an elders. woman included

Lets keep going:hewbrews 11:3,11,28 says through faith, however Hebrews 11:4,5,7,8,9,17,21,22,23,27,29,30,31, says by faith.

The key word is in verse 3; Through faith we "understand". In Mat 13:11-17 Jesus said that the reason he spoke to the people in parables is so thatif they should believe in their hearts and be converted and He would heal them. Mis understanding is a sickness and therefore must be healed. You can't live by faith, unless you understand through faith. By faith has to do with actions as a result of understanding. This is where most people miss it; if they don't understand faith, they cannot please God, why? Understanding is in their head, but not in the heart. If Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, it means that those that don't understand faith, have no clue what the word is saying. They can read scripture, but can't understand WORD.

Quoting scripture is head knowledge, it is not word until it gets into your heart. The Word must be planted in your heart according to the situation at hand. This means that you do not choose the word for your deliverance. The Holy spirit directs you to the seed[word] and then you speak what HE says, That Word enters your heart. You speak and meditate on the word that was given to you. The Word grows in your heart and soon comes into manifestation. As long as you pick the scripture, it remains scripture, and there is no faith in it. I want to encourage
all you that read these blogs to study the word for yourself and grab hold to faith. In the body of Christ, the serpent[devil][satan] is not your biggest enemy, your biggest enemy is unbelief. I look forward to your response!
