Growth It’s All About Faith

[netchaplain]

The Lord Jesus is always more concerned with what He can do for us, rather than what we can do for Him (Luke 10:40-42). The desire of worship and service to Him and the Father is sought and returned (John 4:23, 24), and if the intention is out of debt (which there is none), the full work and understanding of grace is incomplete where the conscience is concerned, producing an inferior liberation from guilt, which results in the “weighty” reasoning that you will always owe the Father for His grace in Christ. This will spawn a works-based concept by attempting repayment, which never truly satisfies, ending with an inevitable disappointment.

Nowhere is it said in “the word of truth” that the gift of grace, which is “the free gift” (Eph 2:8; Rom 5:15, 16, 18) incurs repayment. Though this gift was at cost, wherein we were “bought with a price,” our desire to “glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's” (1 Cor 6:20) must find its sole basis in gratitude and love for Them, not out of an owed unpayable debt. This would be a miscomprehension of the proper construct concerning the definition of “gift,”—and “free” at that, not to mention a frustration to the overall entailment of God’s love.

I believe one of the primary goals of the Spirit of God is to teach us to focus our faith solely on Scriptural facts within the cannon of the Bible, and minimizing, as much as lies within us from being moved by sense and intemperate emotion. A simple truth to mind is that faith is maintained only through that from which it is formed (Rom 10:17).

Being on this site, I at times can get moved by "Sense and intemperate emotion" And your posts always bring me back to center.( at least for a while!)

Thanks NC

I too thank God for believers like you too. Only truth liberates! The ups and downs are just part of the faith-strengthening processes for the believer.

Faith is the master key! It will open every door. It will access every promises. Faith is what's needed to get you to the other side. Bible belief is only dependent on the word of God. I believe it first - then I will speak it - and I believe whatever I speak is going to come to pass. To get faith to work for you, you must bring your conversation, your thinking, and your believing in line with your faith. And your faith saying it's already done. Because nothing can stand against the word of God!

Levels of faith: (many other examples in the bible)
Great faith - Matthew 8:5-10
Unfeigned faith - II Timothy 1:5
Wavering faith - James 1:5-7
Perfect faith - James 2:22
Rich faith - James 2:5
Full of faith - Acts 6:1-5
Little Faith - Matthew 6:25-34, Matthew 14:25-31
No faith - Mark 4:35-40

Things may not be a fact at the time, but call things that be not as though they were! To get heaven to come to earth you must agree with it. Your faith must say it is already done. Truth will change facts! Faith only says what God says. Say what you want to see instead of what you currently see.
