Faith is evident when you hope against hope.

Faith is evident when you consider not the circumstances 

Faith is evident when you stagger not at the promise of God Through unbelief

Faith is evident when you give glory to God when it appears that failure is inevitable 

Faith is evident when you continually brag on how faithful God is to you.

Faith is evident when what you see on the inside, (those things that you had need of ), turns to sight. Oh now wait,

That’s how you move from Faith to sight.

 

By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death. He could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. Hebrews 11:5

What an outstanding very rare example of an individual that we know little about. An individual that lived before the flood in times of the darkest hours of mankind. If someone could have that type of testimony, before the Lord in the thick darkness, then in the days in which we live, what will be possible ?

In the day in which Paul exhorted the Christians, we read this admonition:

“Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.” Acts 11:23

 

If something was sown and there was an immediate harvest, whew! That would be marvelous! But when you begin to walk and talk your faith, you see very little to know manifestations immediately. Why is that? Is it because God wants to teach you a lesson. No. It’s because faith is like a seed. And depending upon your patience and staying with the growth process, you reap a harvest through your faith. 

Don’t become discouraged. If you realize that faith is like a seed that you actively take part in its growth and harvest, then you would be glad. 

Hebrews 6: 12b Through faith and patience we inherit the promises

Luke 5:26

17. And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them 18. And , behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 19. And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. 20. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 21. And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? 22. But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts? 23. What is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? 24. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. 25. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. 26. And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.

 

 

Looking up and redirecting your focus, that’s the law of change. Rise in your hearts and minds to his thought and ways. They are lofty, they are grand. They are thoughts to make one great. They are thoughts that rise above the storms. They are thoughts that alleviate tensions and there power. You know he’s so affectionately considerate of your plight. Lift up your countenance unto him, and by faith strengthen your life.

Colossians 3:2 

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

 

Determine your strengths and weaknesses, (the areas you haven’t gain mastery as of yet). 

Set yourself to tip the scale so that your faith balances  equally across the board. Being proactive is the key. Target and execute a plan in each area. Set goals and set dates by which to reach those goal. Rely on God’s Holy Spirit to guide you through to increase. See he’s called along side as your helper John 14:26. He works with you as you take steps to sure up the areas necessary for growth. No greater helper can you have for he was instrumental in helping Jesus complete his Journey Luke 3:22 🌸Your measure of faith in those areas can be increased. Romans 12:3

Luke 17:5-8 

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

 

Sowing a seed into the ground, is not too tedious and won’t be a loss. ( not spiritually). Don’t worry about the expenditure you put forth in the process, for if cared for properly; that seed will develop into a healthy plant that will produce a harvest, that will in turn produce more seeds in which to plant.  Faith is like a seed. Take the seed of the word of God that covers your area of need; plant it in into the garden of your heart. Watch over the ground of your heart like a farmer would do his soil. Then you shall receive a harvest of what you’ve sown. Look at the verse that describes reaping a harvest in a negative way and turn it around.

Galatians 6:7

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

 

Grace is God’s ability coming on your ability to get the job done.

His strength on your strength.

His peace on your peace.

His Joy on your joy.

His super on your natural.

His anointing to destroy every yoke and remove every burden.

 Roman 5:1,2

1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

 

Faith gives you the upper hand on the devices of the wicked one.

For though he would holler long and loud, “look at what you almost did.You just barely got by this time but next time I’ll win.” When you understand the operation of faith, you look only to what God says you are. Last time I checked, my roots went deep. ( that is in being more than a conqueror.) And when those thoughts are racing through your head, you clamp down on them, suddenly restricting their ability to remain by abruptly declaring, your position in Christ as an overcomer that can’t be defeated in life. 

Romans 8:37

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Faith is A Life Style

Learn your lesson well, then and only then you’ll see

That the just we’re called to live by Faith 

But go deeper in your acquisition of knowledge. 

Look under every stone, become a scholar.

Don’t settle for the mundane way of service to our Father.

But forge ahead, yes gain ground. If you don’t understand, something, refuse to surmise. Because there is hard fast evidence, to substantiate the validity Of God’s requirement for us to live by faith. 

Habakkuk 2:4b

…the just shall live by his faith.
