Faith in God.
There are so many lecture and preacher and seminar on faith, yet still so many people miss the mark.Why? because they are fighting spiritual forces in a natural bodies. First we all know that faith comes by hearing and reading the word, second by spending quality time with God, (through prayer and Fasting). We've been told that the opposite of faith is fear. I personally believe fear is a symptom of a greater disease called negative emotions. But the point I want to establish today is, that God is the author and finisher of our faith. Just like you believed in your salvation, you can believe in his faith. There have been so many time when I just didn't have the capacity to believe for something and I knew it, (I am referring to knowing that you know kind of faith). So I would confess my inability to God and ask the spirit to under-gird me, "2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." He always does and his faith takes me over the top, thus my need is met. He wants to help you. Why? because it brings you joy and in your joy, you praise and glorify Him. This in turn, inspires you to testifies to others about His goodness. One problem I've have learnt over the years is that faith work directly with hope, . what is hope
webster 1828 edition: HOPE, noun [Latin cupio.]
1. A desire of some good, accompanied
with at least a slight expectation of obtaining it, or a belief that it is
obtainable. hope differs
from wish and desire in this, that it implies some expectation of obtaining the
good desired, or the possibility of possessing it. hope therefore
always gives pleasure or joy; whereas wish and desire may produce or be
accompanied with pain and anxiety.
I know I misted at time believing with desire or confessing with desire and not with hope. hope has that expectation. Your faith targets that expectation, provided it in his will.
