Title: WHAT IS FAITH
Post by: teddybear on July 28, 2003, 07:22:38 AM
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen.For by it the elders obtained a good report (Hebrew 11;1-2).God has moved me tonight to speak on the marvelous,glorious reality of God's Word.How great should be our faith,for we cannot be saved except by Faith;we cannot be kept but by faith,we can be baptized only by Faith;and we will be caught up by faith.Therefore,what a blessed reality is faith in the living God.

What is faith?Faith is the very nature of God.It is the Word of God.It is the personal,inward flow of divine favor which moves in every fiber of our being until our whole nature is so quickened that we live by faith,we move by faith,and we are going to be caught up to glory by faith,for faith is the victory!Faith is the glorious knowledge of a personal presence within you,changing you from strength to strength,from glory to glory,until you get to the place where you walk with God,and where God thinks and speaks through you by the power of the Holy Ghost.Oh,it is grand,it is glorious!

God wants us to have far more than that which we can handle and see,and so he speaks of the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen.But,with the eye of faith,we may see it in all its beauty and grandeur.God's Word is from everlasting to everylasting,and faith is the substance.

Therefore,with the audacity of faith we should throw oueselves into the omnipotence of God's divine plan,for God has said,All things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9;23).It is possible for the power of God to be so manifest in your human life that you will never be as you were before;for you will be ever going forward,from victory to victory,for faith knows no defeat.

God Bless.

Faith is wonderful stuff.  Getting me out of the way, letting Him "make His move"...
