Faith and Beliefs?

Text: Matthew 17:20,John 12:42-50,8:12, Romans 8:14

God in His Word tells us What He hath given us already through His Son, Jesus Christ through the finished work on the Cross(Acts 20:32)and a set of instructions on what we are to do to access these blessings, despite the natural circumstances prevailing. These revelation knowledge and set of instructions as we personalize or accept them makes up our beliefs.

When we act on these instructions or knowledge despite the prevailing natural circumstances, faith IS GENERATED. What we say and think and do in AGREEMENT with the Word of God despite the natural circumstances is our FAITH.

The Bible says Abraham believed God, that is; received and accepted the information or the Word of God or His Will and instructions from God.Acting on the instructions of God was his strong or living faith(Romans 4:19-20).Living faith is faith that has works coupled with it(James 2:17).

For example to have faith in the blood of Jesus(Romans 3:25) , I have to know God's provision and instructions on what to do as it pertains to the blood of Jesus which is my belief. My level of knowledge is my level of belief.Doing the instructions of the Holy Spirit as given in the Word of God concerning the blood of Jesus is my faith.

Therefore the proof of your faith is the obedience to instructions from the Holy Spirit and the Word of God or my beliefs.The Lord said in Luke 6:46, how can you say you have faith in me by confessing with your mouth; Lord , Lord and do not the things which I say?My heart and mouth and action must agree for faith to be in place.

Unbelief means we act independently or outside the instructions of the Holy Ghost and the Word of God.When we do this,the Bible says in Galatians 4:1-3, that we remain as children under the rulership of our flesh, the world and give place to the enemy to oppress and devour our blessings, God forbid.

Every believer therefore should wait on the Holy Spirit's instructions and guidelines daily by studying and meditating the Word of God, praying the Word of God and praying in tongues and be ready to obey the instructions and our lives will be heaven on earth as abundance, abundant and victorious life will be our portion in Jesus Name.

Any act of disobedience is the property of the devil.It is like giving him a foothold or handing over to him the hard won dominion Jesus procured for us on the Cross. Therefore we should repent quickly of it and win back our dominion by getting back to Our Leader(Holy Spirit) quickly for right direction and instructions.
The purpose of salvation is to make us Commanders of the things God hath made and not beggars or negotiators.(Isaiah 45:11).So the ball is in our court.

God bless you as you diligently obey the instructions and follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God and take our position as commanders with the word of God as our instrument of victory.

God bless
