FAITH, AN INEVITABLE AND VITAL ATTRIBUTE OF THE SPIRIT..
The Christian race is not a playfare but warfare. One must be armed appropriately with faith to please God. The foundation of your faith must therefore be consistent and rigid.(Hebrews 11:6)
But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
FAITH FOUNDATION.
Faith is a significant factor to lay hold on what christ died for. Faith is a fight and life is a battle ground. Faith gives substance of reality to hope.(Matthew 11:12).
And from the days of John the Baptist, until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
LOCATION OF FAITH.
The location of faith is in the heart of man, the heart is the ground of faith. Faith is made of three things;
1)Knowledge.
2)Believe.
3)Trust.
The source of faith is the word of God. God's faith comes from his word.(Romans 10:17)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
The word of God carries light but the womb is needed. The womb is a good heart. Having heard the word, and backing up with faith, it brings forth fruit with patience.(Luke 8:15)
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
KINDS OF FAITH.
1)Sense knowledge faith: Made up of human senses. (I.e sight, touch, taste, hearing, feeling). John 20:26-29.
2)Revelational knowledge faith: This is the real faith. It is based on the word of God.
PROCESS OF FAITH APPLICATION.
Faith is a shield, as well as a weapon. The more skilled we are in neutralizing it, the better and glorious our results will be.Faith is powerless without love.
Faith can believe, and resolve. The power that makes faith work is in love. Love is a fruit of the spirit which is an ingredient that will work and operate in the supernatural. Faith also is a spiritual force that backs spiritual efforts. The lack of love work will definitely hinder the works of faith.(Galatians 5:6)
For in Jesus christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision, but faith which worketh by love.
HINDRANCES OF FAITH.
1)Doubt.
2)Fear.
3)Sin(Romans 6:12).
Let no sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
CALL TO ACTION.
Spoken words out from the mouth becomes a spiritual force which releases ability of God within you. Be careful of the words you say, as they carry great force, which when said with faith becomes a reality.
