Faith to Please God - #1
It takes faith to please God. We all have a measure of faith if we have been born again into the kingdom of God. Each one of us received a measure. It is impossible to live a victorious life in Christ Jesus without faith, he spent almost all of his earthly ministry teaching the disciples, and us for the word of God is his recorded lessons for his followers. It will take tenacious faith to bring those promises from the spiritual world to this world. Jesus said if we believe in Him and even greater works we would do.
Romans 12:3 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
What is faith?
Exact refrence of what faith is found in God's Word.
A closer look of a key verse on faith found in Hebrews 11:1-Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
There are many kinds of faith the unsaved and saved alike, have operable faith called human faith. The fact an example, as simple as people everywhere have faith when they sit on a chair it will support their weight and they will not fall down. On the other hand, boarding a jet plane going 25,000 feet in a direct pop and still believe they will not fall.Nevertheless, what if the plane had damaged wings or there were no gravity.
Or another example of riding a Ferris wheel getting inside a tin bucket and being elevated in a complete circle over a hundred feet and anticipate you will not fall or the bucket will hold you. The faith we find in the verse Hebrews 11:1 is not speaking of natural faith but of scriptural faith. That is faith that will believe with the heart no matter what the physical or circumstances say otherwise to the human eye.
Why is the Church lacking global faith and powerful Christians? The main reasons are the devil has served us a counterfeit faith that is hard to distinguish. The name of this faith look alike is "mental fake" Looks and sounds good to the Church crowd they accept it as true faith. For instance, many people will agree that the bible is true but they are just agreeing with their minds not their heart. True faith is in the heart of a person. It takes real faith to please and receive from God.
We can know whether we have "heart faith" or "mental fake" by our agreement with God's word. Mental fake says, "I know God's word to be true. I know it and understand it." I know he has provided healing, prosperity, or some other blessings for me. Nevertheless, for some reason it just will not manifest for me I cannot receive the manifestation of the blessing. I have no understanding why it wont work.
On the other hand, real faith says," If God's Word, says it is true, so be it. It is mine and I have it now. I have it now even though the manifestation is in the spirit realm. God cannot lie therefore it is not in seeing, or feeling the blessings manifestation it is his word promised I have it.
Good place for AMEN! So be it that is heart faith!
God spoke the world into existence in the book of Genesis by this heart faith. God is a Man of Faith. His son came here to earth made flesh and blood. Moreover, he walked among us. Jesus practiced and operated the faith that God had and it pleased God.
We can increase the measure of faith we received when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior. By praying and meditating on the word of God and putting into action those promises by faith into our own lives.
John 14:12 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
The word believes in the above scripture means {have faith or has faith} in Jesus. The same God Faith God used to create the heavens and earth. To please God you have to develop your faith and receive from him his promises and word. The opposite of faith is fear, which is the enemy's number one big GUN. Fear is of the devil when fear arrives and is allowed to linger it stops the flow of faith.
Nevertheless, if our heart faith is strong and trained in God's Word with a heart loaded with God's word as ammunition, fear becomes a coward and heads to the hills out of sight.
Every single time no room for both in our lives. If we are to please God and believe in Jesus, we got to have God's kind of faith..
