HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DID YOU SAY YOU HAVE FAITH – ACT UPON IT NOW!
“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . .” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.
FAITH is acting correspondingly on the BELIEVE on the WORD of God – that is – acting on whom and what you believe. Why BELIEVE is PASSIVE, FAITH is ACTIVE. Did you say then you have FAITH? Act on it NOW, for FAITH is now – in order to LIVE, THRIVE and SOAR in EXCELLENCE, SUCCESS and FULFILMENT.
FAITH is NOW: It’s a FORESIGHT with an INSIGHT – Not a new YEAR RESOLUTION, nor an act of PROCRASTINATION, ASSUMPTION, PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS; and it requires no special conference or seminar or fasting to activate; it’s not a denominational DOCTRINE or CREED or BY-LAW to activate. Simply BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT on that BELIEVE accordingly, unreservedly and uncompromisingly.
FAITH is TIMELESS: I Believe, therefore I Speak Forth Correspondingly – Acting on it, until my dawn day is dawn.
“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.
FAITH is a MYSTERY but not mystical: Faith is spiritual, as such, a mystery not subject to natural laws, instead natural laws as well as the heavenly laws submit to faith when held in PURE CONSCIENCE.
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.
And as a mystery, it REWARDS without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation for any self gratifications. And whatever is done outside the mystery of FAITH is a sin in that context.
“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for WHATSOEVER is NOT of FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:23.
FAITH pleases God. FAITH is the DE FACTO to do business with the heavenly. FAITH is of the WORD of God, hence a NO WORD means a NO FAITH. FAITH rewards. FAITH gives Victory. FAITH brings about triumph. FAITH sustains. FAITH overcomes. FAITH is tangible. FAITH is reachable. FAITH is touchable. FAITH is living. FAITH delivers. FAITH works only by love. FAITH is not transferable. FAITH is obtainable. FAITH is much more than words and description.
Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD in all you do, in order to receive the enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
