Faith?

• The practical application of faith is, our response, responsibility, to what Jesus has done, and gave for us, in God! ONLY place to find out what Jesus has done for you is the word of God! Faith is your 6 sense, designed to perceive things of God; It's real, before it's real;Our faith is IN God!
• MOST IMPORTANT thing about faith- faith finds out what God has said in his word, then your faith, that he has given you of Jesus, is in him that it's true, and doesn't quit, until it reaches it's destination, faith is NOT a one time thing ( Mk 11:22; Gal 2:20; 1 Pet 5:9; Rom 10:17; 1 Pet 1:21; Rom 5:1-2; Heb 6:12 )
• ( Heb 11:1;6 )- make faith our responsibility to respond to evidence of what Jesus has done; Only way we have evidence of something we HAVEN'T done, it has to be what someone else has done, Jesus, God's gift ( Jn 1:17; Eph 2:8-9; Rom 5:1-2 );
• BEST APPLICATION of faith, is speaking, walking with, in authority ( Matt 8:5-10 )
• Faith statement- faith it til you make it!
• Faith statement- faith sets destination, doesn't quit until answer!
• Faith statement- stretch myself so if God don't come through, I'm done for!
• Faith statement - What you are doing, can it happen in your own ability?
• Faith statement - faith is taking a risk!
• Faith statement - faith is being sure, not trying!
• Faith statement - If you can physically see it, it doesn't take faith to get it, maybe to obtain it!
• Faith statement - If you were 100 percent sure in the natural, you wouldn't need faith!
• Faith statement - Your faith can ONLY go as far as your knowledge of the word of God ( Philemon 1:6; 2 Pet 1:3-4 )!
• Faith statement- faith stands!
• Faith statement- faith is a 6 sense!
• Faith statement- faith is trust in God!

The starting 5 of faith! There are many variables, facets, aspects, applications, of faith; believers born of God, overcome ANYTHING in this world by faith ( 1 Jn 5:4 ), 34 alone in ( Heb 11 ), we should ask in faith ( James 1:6 ), faith is dead, not profitable, when it's alone, or only, or not complete ( James 2:14-26 ); faith speaks ( 2 Cor 4:13 ); faith acknowledges ( Philemon 1:6 ); faith is a fruit of the Spirit ( Gal 5:22 ); A prayer of faith ( James 5:15 ); There is a shield of faith ( Eph 6:16 ); , we have access to the grace of Jesus by faith ( Rom 5:1-2 ); through faith, and patience you inherit promises of God ( Heb 6:12 ); every man has THE measure of faith ( Rom 12:3 ) explained, see below page ; Word has to be mixed with faith to profit ( Heb 4:2 ); faith stands in the power of God ( 1 Cor 2:5 ); faith resist the devil, steadfastly ( 1 Pet 5:8-9 ); Have faith in God ( Mk 11:22 ); You are rooted, and built up in faith by abounding in thanksgiving ( Col 2:7 ); faith grows ( 2 Thess 1:3 ); There are works of faith ( 1 Thess 1:3 ); Strong application of faith, gives glory to God ( Rom 4:20 ); Weak application of faith, considers NOT what God has said ( Rom 4:19 ); There are words of faith ( Rom 10:8 ); what is not of faith is sin ( Rom 14:23 ); faith is a fight ( 1 Tim 6:12 ); Jesus is the author, finisher of our faith ( Heb 12:2 ); You build yourself up in your MOST holy faith, praying in Holy Ghost ( Jude 20 ), and more, all important, so for the sake of simplicity, I have come up with the starting 5 of faith!

These five are important, because without the explanations of these, the others variables will not be profitable to you!

• 1. ( Heb 11:6 )- Its impossible to please God without it
• 2. ( Heb 11:1 )- The definition of faith
• 3. ( Gal 5:6 )- How faith works 
• 4. ( Rom 10:17 )- Where, and only place faith comes from
• 5. (  Hab 2:4; Rom 1:17; Gal 3:11; Heb 10:38 )- The just, believers, should live by it;

Now I'll explain all 5

• ( Heb 11:6 )- Application - Out of all the things there are to please, be in the will of , God for, FAITH pleases God; Others characteristics will follow through Faith!; Faith diligently seeks, drill it in you, over, and over, digs, searches; This is a bold statement, but others will, and should teach things that please, which means in the will of, God, but the simplicity of pleasing God, is FAITH! People are so concerned with right living, and not living in sin, and treating people right, etc, that they TRY, so hard live right for God, when living for God is a by-product of a relationship with God by FAITH; It takes faith to have a relationship with God, and a relationship with God, living like Jesus is a by-product; ( 1 Jn 1:3 )- Our fellowship is with the Father, and the Son, and who you hang around, you will become like; If you hang around athletes all, day, everyday, you will start to talk, act, sports; Same with Dentists, mechanics, etc, when these people get around each other, they begin to speak dentist, mechanic, talk, behavior daily; Same with ( 1 Jn 2:3-6 )  you know, you KNOW Him, when you keep commandments as by-product of relationship by FAITH! God is a rewarder for those, who diligently seek Him, or other words like keep, stand, steadfast, abide, holdfast; what's the difference between these words, why not use the same word every time describing these things? ( 2 Pet 1:10 ) Diligence - is consistent, attentive, persevering attention effort to accomplish something; so to be diligent, you have to be after an accomplishment of some sort; ( Jn 15:5 ) Abide-  is to reside, or dwell; so to abide is to make your home with, in something; ( Lk 8:15 ) Keep- is to retain in your possession; so to keep something is take ownership, make it personal, and retain it; ( 1 Cor 15:58 ) Steadfast- is to be firm in faith; so to be steadfast is to not be unsure one day, sure another, etc; ( Heb 10:23 ) Holdfast- something that is used TO hold, example like a net; so to holdfast, you are using faith, believing, to hold in place what you believe; ( Rom 5:1-2 ) Stand- is to be firm, and take up a attitude towards a person; so to stand is to take up an attitude towards God, about what He has done;
• ( Heb 11:1 )- Application - Faith is present tense, NOW, it's evidence of a real spiritual world ( Heb 11:3 ), and real evidence of a spirit that lives in you ( Rom 8:11,16; Eph 1:3 ); Definition of faith is, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen; NOW, faith IS, faith is now, present, not future, so you are sure, evidence, of things, healing, prosperity, etc, now; This is true, because of your spirit in you ( Rom 8:11; Col 1:27; 2 Cor 5:17 ); You're blessed with ALL spiritual blessings ( Eph 1:3 ); BE what you are in the Spirit (  2 Cor 5: 17-21 ); God is a Spirit ( Jn 4:24 );; The Spirit which is joined together with your spirit ( 1 Cor 6:17 ), is one, and that's where the life is in you ( Rom 8:10 );; We wrestle spiritual, not flesh, forces ( Eph 6:12 );; Paul said he serves God with his spirit ( Rom 1:9; 2:29; 7:6; Phillip 3:3; ); The spirit is where the life in you is ( 2 Cor 3:6; Gal 3:21; 1 Pet 4:6; Rom 8:9-13; Lk 17:20 ); God's word's are spirit ( Jn 6:63 ), and they speak to, and of your spirit ( Gal 6:7-9 ); In a spirit world ( Dan 9:3-21; 10:13; 2 Kings 6:16-17; Ps 103:20; Matt 18:10; 26:53; Heb 1:4-7; 13-14; Eph 6:12; Ps 78:25; Lk 12:8-9 );
• ( Gal 5:6 )- Application - God's love for needed people, your faith, availability, is what is needed for a person of need to get helped;  This has to do with God, love, and person, you, faith, being available; If this meant your faith works by you loving, then ( 1 Cor 13:2 ), wouldn't be true; God cares more about the the SITUATION, and the person needed to be set free, then the vessel that needs character issues fixed AT THE TIME ( Lk 4:18-19 ); God will deal with those later, but I say that to say, some people God uses, He doesn't know, like Judas ( Matt 10:1-4 ), gave authority, even though he was a devil ( Jn 6:70-71 ); Some have faith to move mountains, without love ( 1 Cor 13:2 ), both mean nothing eternally ( 1 Cor 3:15-17 ), unbelievers will not be saved, believers will be saved, but work means nothing eternally; What's my point, its GOD'S LOVE, and your FAITH, AVAILABILITY, that faith works by love, then when you see God does that, that goodness leads to repentance ( Rom 2:4 ); This saves people from thinking they must be perfect first to be used with God;
• ( Rom 10:17 )- Application - Only source where you can get faith is the word of God; Faith ONLY, ONLY, ONLY, comes from the word of God; The promises of God are not hard to come to past, the hard part is, the other things people get unbelief from, which is belief in something else besides God, from, secular t.v., secular music, carnal family, carnal church, the world's system, etc; You will find all applications, lifestyles of faith from others in word of God; Jesus name IS the word of God ( Rev 19:13 ); God magnifies His word, MORE than His name ( Ps 138:2 ); Jesus spoke the word to the devil when tempted ( Lk 4:1-13 ); The word is MORE SURE than an audible voice from God ( 2 Pet 1:17-19 ); Sword of the Spirit, the Holy Spirit wrote the word, that's the only thing He encourages to attack Satan with ( Eph 6:17 ); Scripture can't be broken ( Jn 10:35 ); The word should be valued, MORE than anything necessary in your life ( Job 23:12 ); Things are unto YOU, according to the word ( Lk 1:37-38 ); You seek God, through His word ( Isa 34:16 ); The word is a seed ( Lk 8:11 ); The sower, You, sows the word, to get a God harvest ( Mk 4:13-28 ); All ( Ps 119 ), has to do with the word of God; The word en grafts your soul to grow, continue in it, it's a perfect law of liberty ( James 1:21-25 ); God's word is forever settled in heaven ( Ps 119:89 ); The word is quick, live, and discerns, spirit, soul, and is the intent of the heart, and discernment of the thoughts ( Heb 4:12 ); Blessed are they that hear the word, and keep it ( Lk 11:28 );
• ( Hab 2:4; Rom 1:17; Gal 3:11; Heb 10:38 )- Application - Live, think, speak, act , walk, lifestyle, NOT turn off, and on by faith ( Act 17:28 ), then manifestations are a by-product ( Matt 6:33 ); how? By word of God, and prayer ( Lk 4:4; Rev 4:11; Eph 6:18 ); The just shall live by faith; NOT BY MANIFESTATION, by faith, evidence of things NOT SEEN; How do you do that, by living by what God says only, no matter, diagnoses, credit report, family tradition, etc; SEEK the source, Jesus in His word for healing, prosperity, business, etc, and the manifestation is a by-product, things that are added ( Matt 6:33 ); We must live in spirit world, what your spirit IS, and not 5 sense physical world; ( 2 Cor 3:18; James 1:21-25 ); Your ONLY NEED to live by faith, not sight ( 2 Cor 5:7 ), is to KNOW what God has said about you!;; Acknowledging ( Philemon 1:6 ), speaking ( 2 Cor 4:13 ); acting ( James 2:14-26 ); living, all agree with each other, and compliment each other; ( Hab 2:4 )- just live by faith, read ( Hab 1 ), when seems like hit a brick wall, and things just don't look good in natural, God's encouragement is, just shall live by his faith, then read ( Hab 3:17-18 ), and find out, to live by faith is to rejoice in hard times, because you KNOW, ARE SURE, you will come out on top; ( Rom 1:17 )- just live by faith, means the righteousness of God is revealed, by Spirit ( 1 Cor 2 ), from faith of God, the Bible ( Rom 3:1-2 ), to you by faith ( Heb 4:2 ), to live by it; ( Gal 3:11 )- just live by faith by realizing that you are justified by God, by what Jesus did, and nothing you did ( 2 Cor 5:21 ), that's why you should meditate on who you are in Christ, see grace ( Christ in you ) page; ( Heb 10:38 )- just shall live by faith, means, believers find out what God has said in His word, make a commitment, and do it, and don't draw back, or don't quit ( Matt 13:19-23; Mk 4:13-20;26-28; Lk 8:11-15; Jn 15 ) Like on my divine health, healing, deliverance page, Plant God's word as a seed, and water it, by meditating, abiding, speaking, LIVING, and it will produce fruit after its own kind ( Gens 1:11 ); It's seed, timeeeeeeeee, harvest ( Gens 9:22 ), but you KNOW that your seed will harvest, so you live by faith on that; Timeeeeeeeee is for YOUR growth, not God holding back; ( 2 Cor 5:7 )- just shall walk by faith, not sight, means- live in spirit, not 5 senses ( 2 Cor 5:17-21; Col 1:27; 1 Cor 1:30; Rom 1:9; 7:6 ), by the word, and prayer; see prayer page!

( Rom 12:3 )- explained!

• Believers are the only ones that spread the good news of the gospel ( Rom 1:8 ), but Romans is written to ALL of Rome, those TO BE saints, and the CALLED ( Rome 1:7 ); All are called ( 2 Pet 3:9 ); Paul said in this letter, he is a debtor, he owes, to the wise, and unwise, Greek, and barbarians ( Col 3:11 ), in other words this gospel is for EVERYONE, where his others letters are written TO BELIEVERS ONLY ( 1 Cor 1:2; Gal 1:2; Eph 1:1; Phillip 1:1; Col 1:2; 1 Thess 1:1; 1 Tim 1:2; Titus 1:4; Philemon 1:1; ); point, this letter is explaining the gospel, and is MIXED in with believers, unbelievers; so my point, when Paul says in ( Rom 12:3 ), God has dealt to EVERY man, the measure of faith, the context in ( Rom 12:1-2 ), is yes, the first two verses are for believers, but then Paul explains in verse 3, to EVERY man among you, to not be boastful as a believer, because unbelievers, God has dealt the measure of faith as well, to at the least, accept the gospel with! Us as believers can't boast to unbelievers that we came into the kingdom of nothing we've done, but accepted God's free gift, but you need faith to be drawn to God, by God ( 1 Cor 12:3 ); which is also why Jesus made unbelievers act on their faith to receive healing ( Jn 5;9 ); point, unbelievers have the measure of faith, we as believers can't boast even to them about having something they don't; IMPORTANT- because 1. Shows God's love for EVERYONE, believers, unbelievers; 2. Shows no one can come, or receive anything from God, with at least THE measure of faith, believers, unbelievers ( Jn 5;9; Heb 4:2 ); 3. Shows us as believers can't boast even to unbelievers, that WE were the ones that did something to become believers; Then once we become believers, We are given by God the faith, righteousness, Jesus like abilities ( 2 Pet 1:1; Eph 4:24; Gal 2:20 ); What about people that are healed with no faith? Answer- when people say this person was healed with no faith, they don't know everything what's going on in that person, just because they say I have no faith, well why are you around a person, or talking to a person that believes in healing, if don't believe, go about your way; Don't attend healing conferences, approach people known for healing with questions etc, point no matter what people say, ALL have a measure ( Jn 5;9 );
