Living the Life of Faith in God

Living the Life of  Faith in God

If we must engage the supernatural, the mode of communication must of necessity be changed from when engaging the natural. When we got born again and our spirits got reactivated by the supernatural life of God, we were introduced into a new life, a new world and we became part of a spiritual and supernatural community.

Of course the supernatural realm isn't reachable by physical or natural means. Our physical senses can't go through the supernatural boundaries. We can't see, feel, taste or ear the realm of the spirit with our physical senses. Physical researches and physical experiments can't detect spirit realm directly except they leave a message behind through their activities.
So, if we have to deal in the supernatural it'll have to be through some other means.

[My Offline Bible] Hebrews 11
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

In all our efforts to be approved of God and to please Him faith becomes the platter or platform upon which we serve whatever we offer. It is the channel of communication between the realm of the spirit and the physical.

We must believe and live by what we believe to have access. Faith is an access. We can't reach God without faith. We can't please Him without faith.

[My Offline Bible] Isaiah 53
1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

To be able to exercise our capacity to believe as required of faith, we need a report. If we can't access the supernatural by our five physical senses, then we need to be informed somehow of what's going on behind that veil at the other side of the border.

The realm of the spirit therefore reaches out to us through our spirits in form of revelations since experimentation isn't possible. The revelation knowledge of God's word released through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit feeds our senses with reports from the super realm for us to believe and live by.

Now, the spirit realm isn't just filled with God and His angels, every spirit being dead and alive, good and bad, godly and ungodly all live beyond the realm of the senses. So we have two sides or levels of the super realm. One of God, the other of Satan. One of light the other of darkness. Both sides have their focuses on the earth looking forward and planning towards future eternity. They both need a harvest from the earth and have to exercise their influence, authority and will on earth to gain mankind in preparation for the future. The physical became a temporary arrangement after the fall of man, the eternal future is at stake and the super realm wants the spirit of men.

The word of God, revealed through holy men who were moved by the Holy Spirit to speak on earth reveal the operations of the realm of God. This report is made available to us so that we can believe and be part of activities in that realm even here in the physical.

[My Offline Bible] Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

God reached to us through the fathers in time past, He has reached to us in this last days by His own Son, the very word of God, who was in the bosom of God, who became man to reveal God to us. No other arrangements can be of any greater authenticity than this. Before He came, every revelation pointed towards Him and now that He has come we need to take heed to what He has to say and do in God's quest to make us like Himself in preparation for the eternal future with Him.

What report did He bring?

Jesus Christ came to speak grace to us.
[My Offline Bible] John 1
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. That's the revelation of God that Jesus Christ came to give us: Grace!

He taught it and demonstrated same. He gave us Himself as example of the grace available to us through faith. Living the life of faith is living by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The report we must believe to see the revelation of God's hand is the word of His grace. Grace provided by the love of God for us, seeking a place for us with Him in eternity.

So faith cracks the nut of God's grace to suck the power and wisdom of God hidden within for mankind to become what the will of God for him says.

[My Offline Bible] Ephesians 2
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

[My Offline Bible] Romans 4
16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

[My Offline Bible] Romans 5
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.

We can't be that man God has in mind without what He has made available for us in grace. The word of His grace reveals to us in Christ the things freely given to us of God. The works has been finished from the foundation of the earth, now we live in a realm where we are crucified but Christ lives in us through faith in His grace.

Our faith is daily fed as we see Christ teach and demonstrate His Word in the gospel. We feed on what He has done that gave us the right and authority to live like Him supported by the power of God as we read the epistles and we thus live by faith daily seeing beyond what eyes can see, being connected to the super realms to bring to bear the supernatural in the physical so we become what God wants us to be.

[My Offline Bible] Galatians 2
20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

The faith life is the total lifestyle of the child of God. It comes through the understanding of the operation of the spirit realm of God. We live by those things reported which we are convinced and are persuaded of concerning God, His plans and principles. And when we do, His power and wisdom are released through us and we live the supernatural life here beyond the vanities, sinfulness and the limitations of the world and of Satan as we live the victorious life in Christ by the grace of God.

[My Offline Bible] 1 John 5
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

We make the most of our being born of God by discovering what the will of God and what He wants for us are and living towards that by  the grace freely given to us through faith.

We relate with the natural and the supernatural as necessitated by God's word placing each where it should be.

[My Offline Bible] 2 Corinthians 4
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Living the life of faith is using the eyeglasses of faith to walk through all the physical or even the spiritual presents to us daily with eternity with God in view.

Let's do it! Live the faith life and reveal the potential of divinity laid up within.

Good morning!
