Faith is an impartation from YHVH to our spirit, it is a spiritual substance, that comes from God by hearing God’s voice, it is His faith imparted to us.
Believing is bring our soul (will-actions), (mind-thoughts), (emotions-feeling what God feels), (imagination- how we perceive or see ourselves, according to the unseen realm and not the physical realm), conscience (keeping a clear conscious by dealing with the things wrong in our lives through the gift of repentance), (reason-asking questions, to receive confirmation that we have received a word from God).
We must keep our soul in unity with the faith that has been imparted to our spirit.
This requires practice because our soul has been trained by what our physical senses perceive.
We walk by faith and not physical sight, if our soul does not come into unity with our spirit, our soul will block the manifestation in the physical realm.
Think of having faith in God’ faith! Think of the thrill of having your own prayers answered!
When you realize that the great majority of Christians never have a prayer answered, you can understand what I mean by having your faith in God’s faith. When YHVH spoke to you, you have to rest in His faith bringing your soul into submission and action.
Most Christians are depending upon other people’s faith. They can do the praying, but they want someone else to do the believing.
They are not praying. They are just repeating words, for prayer in the New Testament sense is born of faith and is always answered.
The Father planned that all should have faith in his faith.
Mark 16: 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Of whom is He speaking? Of the man or the woman who has just accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and confessed Him as Lord of their lives.
They have just received eternal life. And within that life is the faith of God.
Our God is a faith God, he spoke and the universe came into existence. We are to have that same kind of faith, faith has a voice, it is your confession.
When we receive the eternal life of God, through the new birth, at once, we begin combat with the unseen forces of darkness.
The enemy will do everything he can to stop that faith to come into manifestation on the earth.
He could care less if faith remains in the unseen realm. He does not want that faith to come into manifestation in the earth, the realm he is still trying to maintain control of even though Jesus disarmed him of authority, if he can get us to agree with him, he wins the battle. That is why our fight is the good fight of faith. Because love always wins.
This is why we must focus on how much God loves us, because faith works when we are filled with the divine love of God for us and others.
Jesus was always motivated by the love of God, and he would get angry at the religious leaders of the day, anything that would hinder the love of God from coming into manifestation on the earth.
We have taken Jesus’ place on the earth being his body now on the earth.
Someone is sick or in bondage. They exercise their rights. In Jesus’s name, they command the power of Satan to be broken.
The Word must have first place in the life of the believer.
Acts 20: 32 “So now, brethren, I entrust you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified ( a spiritual state brought about by legal redemption).
To build you up means to build you up in faith, in love, and in ability to help humanity.
Your faith may be developed until it becomes a mighty force. That was the dream of the Father for you.
The Word will build up your sense of righteousness. I know of nothing that is needed more than this. When we become conscious that we are righteous, we will not think of our weaknesses and failings.
Isaiah 32: 17 The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
This verse does not belong to Israel. It is a prophecy of the church.
The work of righteousness that God wrought in you has brought peace to your heart.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. —Romans 8:1
You live in perfect quietness and rest. The effect of righteousness in your heart is a new quietness and a new type of faith.
You enjoy the effect of your confidence in the finished work of Christ. You know that you are a master of circumstances. You know that you are a master of demons. You know that if you lay hands on a sick person, they will be healed.
The realization of this truth gives you a sense of quietness, a fullness of joy that you have never enjoyed before.
The phrase confidence forever is spectacular. You have moved out of the restless atmosphere of fear and doubt, into the quiet waters of victory.
You have become a master where you served as a slave. You are a conqueror where you suffered defeat.
You walk in the light where you once walked in darkness. You enjoy your privileges in Christ.
At last, you have a faith that works. At last, you have arrived.
You know what these words of Jesus mean:
John 15: 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
As you walk with God you begin to enjoy the consciousness of the life of the vine abiding in you. You are the fruit-bearing part of Christ.
You have been grafted into Him by the new birth. That graft has given you a new nature. You bear the Jesus kind of fruit, which is love fruit, faith fruit.
The world benefits from it. Christians become lifted up everywhere you go into a new consciousness of their rights and privileges in Christ.
You know what John 15:7 means: “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
You know how to abide in Him. You bear the fruit of His indwelling Word. His Word on your mouth produces real results.
The Father’s Word on Jesus lips healed the sick. His Word on your lips does the same.
You know what it means to have legal rights and whatever you demand, He gives to you. The word demand is used in its truest sense.
Jesus said, “And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name” (John 16:23).
Ask(aitéō) To ask or call for, require, demand.
The word ask here means demand. It is not used in the sense that you command YHVH to give, but in the sense that you go into the bank and demand payment on your check.
In the same sense, your faith takes its rights, its portion.
At last you know what James means.
James 1: 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.
You have become a doer of the Word. You are not just a hearer. You do not delude yourself with false hopes. You are in Christ. You are an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ.
You know that His Word abides in you and produces results. You are a producer. You are not just passing time any longer. You know now what manner of man or woman you are. You know that you are a new creation, empowered by God.
The Word has become a part of God to you, a part of the living Christ in you.
Day by day the great, mighty Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead builds that Word into your spirit consciousness. Christ is being formed in you.
One of these days, Christ, in all of His fullness, will dominate you until you can say, “ I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving-Colossians 2:6–7
The Scripture’s become real to you.
Ephesians 4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
Now we are moving into the vital aspect of redemption.
We are coming into the manifestation of the male and female sons of God. They have God dwelling in them. The Word of Christ is richly in their mouth.
The love that drove Jesus to the cross has gained possession of them.
They no longer walk as natural men and women- a mere man.
They belong to the divine love class, the miracle class. They are in the Jesus class. They have graduated from the lower levels of Christianity.
They have attained “unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God,” having become full-grown men and women “unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13).
The faith of God works in them by divine love. They are established in the truth. The Word has become real to them.
