Good Morning Precious and Dearly Loved Saint and Child Of
Our Abba Father!
“Who through Faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice,
and gained (manifested) what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions,
quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose
weakness was turned strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed
foreign armies. Women received back
their dead, raised to life again.” Hebrews 11: 33-34.
Faith is one of the Fruits of the Spirit. Faith is a gift from God. It is His divine persuasion upon our heart. Faith is from God and is something that we
cannot produce on our own; again, it is a Fruit of the Spirit. There is a human faith, trust or confidence
that is not from God, but this faith, pistis, in the Greek, that conquers kingdoms
is only produced by God! This Pistis,
this Faith, comes by revelation of the Holy Spirit and cannot be conjured up or
generated by the human will or decision.
Pistis comes from God and is His movement, His divine persuasion on the
will of man! The Holy Spirit births this
persuasion within the heart a receptive believer.
“For it is by Grace you have been saved, through faith
(pistis)—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works (a
person’s own initiative), so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9. Faith is received by hearing the voice of
God by the Holy Spirit. “Consequently,
faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word
(rhema; the spoken word of Christ to the heart of man by the Holy Spirit) of Christ.”
Romans 10:17. Faith is always a
response to divine revelation. Faith,
Pistis, is not trying to persuade yourself by your own will, it is receiving
the gift of Pistis from the Holy Spirit!
It always involves receiving from the Holy Spirit by hearing His
voice!
“Faith works by Love.” Galatians 5:6. Do you want more divine Faith, Pistis? Well, then abide in the Father’s Love and
listen to His voice more and more. Do
want more supernatural power to conquer the difficulties in your life? Abide in the Father’s Love more; listen to
His voice through the Holy Spirit. The reason for the weakness in our lives is the lack of deep revelation by the Holy Spirit in that area! To
manifest being “More than a Conqueror”, abide with the Holy Spirit and listen
to His voice and get His revelation about your weakness! This comes in relationship
with Holy Spirit, not through the reading and studying of book after book!
On a personal note, I
have read boxes and boxes of books on Christianity, but I had very little
Pistis. I was depending on other authors
for my revelation rather than going directly to the source, Holy Spirit! I am getting more Pistis now as I fellowship
with Holy Spirit much more!
As we set our heart
on the heavenly realities, as we behold the Lord’s glory with an unveiled face,
apart from the flesh, we are being transformed into the likeness of Christ with
ever-increasing glory from the Lord who is Spirit. As we stop looking at ourselves in the flesh
and see ourselves in the Spirit, the Spirit transforms our heart. Whatever is your greatest weakness, just see
that area of your life as you are In Christ, in His glory. Just receive that inner picture of yourself
as Truth of who you are! The more you
behold yourself and even others in the glory of the Lord, the extremely deep
places of bondage and weakness will fall off and the transformation into Christ
just happens!
Our job is to simply
behold the Lord’s glory apart from any weakness of the flesh! See your marriage partner in the glory, as
they are now in heaven, in the Spirit, In Christ! See your finances in the glory; see all of
your ungodly habits in the glory and you will be transformed into the likeness
of Christ on the earth with ever-increasing glory! Transformation
is a gift and we receive it by setting our hearts on the present Truth and the realities
of the heavenly, glory realm of the Spirit! SHALOM!!!!!
