Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).
Faith is a very simple Kingdom principle to understand and apply. The reason some Christians struggle with their faith is that they try to reason out the Word of God with their minds. Faith is the response of the human spirit, not the mind, to the Word of God. Faith is of the spirit, not the senses. The Bible says, āWith the heart, man believeth…ā (Romans 10:10). You donāt believe with your mind, you believe with your heartāyour spirit. You can reason with your mind, but faith isnāt in the realm of reason.
For example, if youāve been educated in Biology or Medicine, you know that itās absolutely impossible for a woman to conceive a child without a male sperm. How then can you reason out and explain the birth of Jesus Christ? Itās beyond human or natural comprehension. How can you explain the death, burial, resurrection, and glorious ascension of Jesus with the knowledge of science? Youāve got to accept what God said in His Word, and thatās faith. You take God at His Word, whether it makes sense to you or not.
Ephesians 1:3 says, āBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.ā Donāt try to reason out how it happened or if this is really so; believe it and act accordingly. Acknowledge, and affirm that youāve been blessed, not just with material things such as houses, cars, money, etc., but with all spiritual blessings, because God said so.
The blessings and realities of our transcendent life in Christ are beyond sense knowledge and canāt be subjected to empirical verification. Now, these blessings, though already spiritual realities, arenāt in physical shapes or forms that the mind can easily relate with or comprehend through reasoning. Therefore, to those whoāre controlled by their minds, who live in the realm of the senses, these blessings arenāt āreal,ā until they can āseeā or ātouchā them. To them, āseeing is believingā; but thatās not Christianity.
In Christianity, ābelieving is seeing.ā We believe and see the blessings as real because of what the Word says. Ours is the life of faith in the Word, through the Word, and by the Word.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for revealing your Word to my spirit and making me see clearly the blessed life youāve given me in Christ, a life of faith beyond this world. I live in glory, victory and prosperity above this world and its systems, in Jesusā Name. Amen.
