Building And Acting on Your Faith
Faith is in your heart
The spiritual, powerful force of faith can be operated by you once you understand what the spiritual laws are.
- Jesus taught the rudiments of faith which is to believe and speak the Word (Mark 11:23).
- The spirit of faith is to believe, then speak (2 Corinthians 4:13).
- Jesus believed and spoke to the fig tree. Words carrying the spiritual force of faith resulted in the tree drying up (Mark 11:14, 20).
- The heart of man believes, and with his mouth he makes his confession of faith (Romans 10:10).
- You must trust the Lord with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5)
Another rudiment of faith is putting your faith to work. You do this by believing the Word, speaking the Word and then acting on the Word. To believe God’s Word, you need to study and find the answer in the Bible and then pray the answer. Read, study, hear, and meditate on the Word, letting it be firmly implanted in your heart and mind until you are able to act on it. Everything must be based on the Word of God.
Be doers of the Word
The written Word is the will of God and is spiritual law. You need to know and understand that the Bible is the will of God. You are then able to operate in the spiritual laws by faith once you understand what they are and how they operate. You must be in submission to God and not in rebellion against God.
- James said we should be doers of the Word (putting it into action) and not hearers only. (James 1:22).
- James also said if you have faith without works (action), your faith has no power (James 2:14).
The Bible is God’s Word and His will. He never makes promises in His Word for you to have that is not His will. This is a basic rudiment of faith. The Word of God is truth. It never changes. It is good for everyone, for eternity.
The most powerful miracle
We have been taught and our brains programmed to only go by what we can see. And even though it’s exciting to see a miracle on the physical body, there is a much greater miracle.
To be born again is a much greater miracle, as it took the much more powerful spiritual, creative force of faith. Faith is invisible to the natural man, but it is very real, and this faith is a spiritual, creative force (Hebrews 11:3).
The most powerful miracle happened when you heard the Word, received Jesus, and your human spirit was completely re-created (2 Corinthians 5:17).
We were born again of incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23). The faith of God, your healing, the mind of Christ and so much more are in that incorruptible seed. They were implanted into your spirit when Jesus came to live inside you through His Holy Spirit.
Everyone who received Jesus into their life also received the same measure of faith at the time they were born again (Romans 12:3). It was by hearing the Word of God that faith became known to us (Romans 10:17).
Now the time for decision making is at hand. It’s time to learn what feeds faith and what releases it. Once you know, you must take action. Learn more by following these posts and pages.
