FAITH CAPSULE: Faith is a spiritual force that produce living proofs.
Hebrews 11
What is faith and why is faith important?
Faith is a spiritual force that is alive. Faith is not a religious force but it is rooted in the living Word of God. Faith is a spiritual force that produce living proofs because Jesus is the living Word of God. John 6:63 stated, “…The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” Faith is a spiritual force that is rooted in the living word of God as it is written in Romans 10:17, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Faith is not philosophy nor ideology but a spiritual force. Man, that is truly faithful shall be in possession of key for dominion on the face of earth. Having faith is to believe as Jesus said, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” (Mark 9:23)
Faith is spiritual living force that will provoke God to respond. It was faith with spiritual force that made God to respond for the three friend of Daniel’s deliverance in burning fiery furnace of King Nebuchadnezzar. (Daniel 3)
Hebrews 11:1 described faith, “…the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11:2-3 identified the importance of faith asserting that, “…the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God…”
WHY FAITH IS IMPORTANT
As spiritual force faith, it gives victory over great multitude for any man with faith. By hearing and hearing faith becomes important not as talk-faith but for tapping into power of God. Evidently, faith drew power from Jesus when a woman made a choice not engage talkative faith but tapped power from Jesus. Bible recorded, “Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.” Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.” (Mark 5:25-29)
Great multitude, thronging after Jesus was not enough to stop the woman’s faith to touch and tapped power from Jesus which healed the woman from affliction. Jesus responded to the woman’s touch, “And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”” (Mark 5:30)
Faith is important to deliver power for one that makes the Word of God a responsible way of life.
Prayer for today: As for the grace for faith to become your garment.
