Get An Under­stand of Two Kinds of Faith

There is the nat­ural faith. But the super­nat­ural faith is the gift of God. In Acts 26:19Acts 26:19
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
19 Where­upon, O king Agrippa, I was not dis­obe­di­ent unto the heav­enly vision:  

WP-Bible plu­gin Paul is telling Agrippa of what the Lord said to him in com­mis­sion­ing him.

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from dark­ness to light, from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive for­give­ness of sins, and inher­i­tance among them which are sanc­ti­fied by faith that is in Me.”

Enoch walked with God. Enoch laid hold of God and he began to move toward heaven. At last it was not pos­si­ble for him to stop any longer.

How do you get faith? By read­ing the Word of God as much as you can receive food for your soul, for the strength­en­ing of your faith, and the build­ing up of your char­ac­ter in God, so that all the time you are changed and made meet to walk with God.

Sec­ond, is pray­ing and inter­ced­ing and putting on the mind of Christ daily in your walk.  It is com­mu­nion with the Lord most high like Enoch did as well as Paul and others.

“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.”

It is impos­si­ble to please Him on any line but faith, for every­thing that is not of faith is sin. God wants us to see that the plan of faith is the ideal and prin­ci­ple of God.

“Look­ing unto Jesus, the author and fin­isher of our faith.” He is the author of faith. God worked through Him for the form­ing of the world. “All things were made by Him, and with­out Him was not any­thing made that was made.” And because of the exceed­ingly abun­dant joy of pro­vid­ing for us so great sal­va­tion, He became the author of a liv­ing faith. And through this prin­ci­ple of liv­ing faith, look­ing unto Him who is the author and fin­isher of our faith, we are going through change into the same image from glory to glory, even by the Spirit of the Lord.

It is always those peo­ple who are full of faith that have a good report, that never mur­mur, that are in the place of vic­tory, that are not in the place of human order but of divine order, since God has come to dwell in them.

How shall we reach this plane of faith? Let go your own thoughts, and take the thoughts of God, the Word of God.  If you build your­self on imag­i­na­tions you will go wrong. You have the Word of God and it is enough.

Take the Word of God seri­ously and real­ize it is just the Word of God but it is the Word of God. The Word of God is inex­press­ible in value, infi­nite in scope, regen­er­a­tive in power, infal­li­ble in author­ity, uni­ver­sal in inter­est, inspired in totality.

” Read it through. Write it down. Pray it in. Work it out. And then pass it on.” Quoted by Smith Wigglesworth

The Word of God changes a man when he/she takes it to heart and applies the Word of God into their heart and mind.  In real­ity, when we med­i­tate on His Word, it changes a man until he becomes an epis­tle of God. It trans­forms his mind, changes his char­ac­ter, moves him on from grace to grace, makes him an inher­i­tor of the very nature of God.

In fact it devel­ops a hunger.  How else are you going to know the char­ac­ter and heart beat of the Father if you don’t read and study and med­i­tate on his word.

God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through, and sums with him who opens his being to the Word of God and receives the Spirit who inspired it.  You are going to know His will, desire right­eous­ness, hate sin and walk in the fruit of the spirit and with power.

That is the ben­e­fit if spend­ing time with the Father through His word and through prayer and med­i­ta­tion to the Lord.  You are going through change to release the power in Him for the fur­ther­ance of the King­dom of God.

Do you want the mun­dane type of faith or the real faith in God for mir­a­cles, his work, etc.?

All lack of faith is due to not feed­ing on God’s Word. You need it every day. How can you a life of faith? Feed on the liv­ing Christ of whom this Word is full. As you get taken up with the glo­ri­ous fact and the won­drous pres­ence of the liv­ing Christ, the faith of

God will spring up within you. “Faith cometh by hear­ing, and hear­ing by the Word of God” (Romans 10:17Romans 10:17
Eng­lish: King James Ver­sion (1611) — KJV
17 So then faith cometh by hear­ing, and hear­ing by the word of God.  

WP-Bible plu­gin).

Faith puts us in pos­ses­sion of all that the death of Christ and His res­ur­rec­tion have pro­cured for us, and it is not only in our spirit and our soul that the life of the risen Jesus man­i­fests its pres­ence here below; it is in the body also that it would act accord­ing to the mea­sure of our faith.
