The faith of God
The faith of God is a spiritual force in your heart, (your heart is your spirit, your body cannot live without the spirit, but your spirit can live without the body.) “That he would give you, according to the riches of His glory, power to be strengthened by His spirit in the inner man (your spirit).” (Ephesians 3:16) MEV. And it is set into action according to God’s spiritual laws. God created the heavens and earth with the same spiritual force. Your faith in God grows stronger as you learn to use spiritual laws.
You can do spiritual things using the spiritual laws of God because you are a spirit being like God. When you connect into spiritual laws, they work for you. There is a spiritual law of faith, “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith.” (Romans 3:27) MEV.
The law of the Spirit of life
There is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, and the law of sin and death, “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free for the law of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2) MEV. The law of sin and death which include all sickness, disease, sin, and death are all aspects of the function of the curse. The law of sin and death includes fear—fear in the ability of things to hurt you, fear of animals, fear of people and fear of the weather, amongst others.
Even before the world was created, Spiritual laws were set in motion by God. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus makes you free, because it’s more
powerful than the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). The fear of death will begin to shrink when you set your mind on Jesus, believe and speak God’s word.
Knowing how to operate by spiritual laws will help you to be successful in daily life. Jesus said that anybody who believes in his heart speaks what he wants, and doesn’t doubt, can have what he says. When you pray, believe you receive, and you shall have what you are praying for.
Jesus answered them “Have faith in God. For truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘be removed and thrown into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says. Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive them, and you will have them.” (Mark 11:22-25) MEV. Understanding God’s law of faith will produce results.
However, what you are praying and believing for must be in accordance with the word of God. Anything desired outside the word of God will not be answered. “You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your passions.” (James 4:3) MEV.
Unforgiving spirit
If you have an unforgiving spirit the spiritual force of faith will not work. “And when you stand praying, forgive if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your sins. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your sins.” (Mark 11:25-26) MEV. If you are praying, believing and speaking but nothing is working, check to see if you have unforgiveness toward someone. Unforgiveness is sin.
When you don’t forgive, you open yourself up to believing lies from the devil, he’ll attack the weakness of your flesh, and other wrong things will begin to go wrong. You forgive, not by your feelings, but by faith in obedience to God. You need to be repentant if you are to be completely cleansed of unforgiveness. You can only do it by faith in God who loves you.
If you don’t have any faith, it’s impossible to live and walk in the commandment of love. Without the love of God and without faith, nothing works. Without love, you are nothing. “…and if I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:2).
Understanding God’s law of faith
Understanding God’s law of faith will produce results. Whatever you say and believe without doubting, you can have! To produce results, faith must be spoken. What you believe in your heart is what you’ll speak, so speak faith. The classic teaching on faith is from Jesus Himself (Mark 11:22-25).
Whosoever means this spiritual law of faith will work for anyone who uses it (Mark 11:23). You can cause your faith to grow and get stronger by studying and believing God’s Word. Every time you hear the Word, faith comes. “So then, faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” (Romans 10:17) MEV.
To get God’s answer to any question, you must have faith in God. God’s faith comes to you when you hear His word (Romans 10:17). If you’re not connected to God, you can’t have the faith of God. And your love and forgiveness to others will be hindered!
God’s invitation
God is inviting you to be part of His family by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord. When you accept God’s invitation to be born again, you are given the measure of His faith. Being born again, prayer, faith, love, and the fruit of the spirit all operate using the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus.
You heard about Jesus, if you decide to accept His love, faith will come, and you will be born again—you become a new creation. “Therefore, if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things have passed away. Look, all things have become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
You are then born again by grace through faith; it is a gift of God (Ephesians 3:8). You are born again by the incorruptible seed, that is the word of God, that will exist forever (1 Peter 1:23).
God’s invitation can become a reality in your life if you will only open your heart to His Word and all of the above and more will be yours.
Do you want to feel worthy and useful again?
If you have never asked Jesus to come into your life now is the time to make your life right with God and accept Jesus into your life.
Romans 10:9-10 states, “If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord”, and believe in your heart that God raised His from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved”.
If you are ready to accept Jesus into your life speak the following prayer out loud from your heart.
“Dear God, I know I am a sinner. I repent and want to turn from my sins, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I declare that today, I will forgive everyone that comes into my life. I choose to forgive as an act of my will, not based on my emotions. I forgive like God forgives, and I refuse to let offense about any person or situation come back into my heart or mind, in Jesus’ Name! I am forgiven, and I freely forgive! I believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe He died for my sins and that You raised Him to life. I want Him to come into my heart and to take control of my life. I want to trust Jesus as my Savior and follow Him as my Lord from this day forward. In Jesus’ Name amen.”
If you have spoken this prayer with your heart, you are now an adopted child of God and heir with Jesus Christ and entitled to eternal life with Him. His Holy Spirit has come to live inside you. The Holy Spirit will comfort, guide, lead and convict you of sins so you may ask forgiveness.
Congratulations, your name has now been written in the Lords’ book of life which means you will have eternal life with Him. Now go and find yourself a bible believing loving Baptist Church so you may grow in your new life.
