FAITH: THE DOORWAY TO DIVINE INTELLIGENCE
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is always an act.
Faith is giving substance to the things hoped for.
Ecclesiastes 5:3 (KJV) For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
Fools or slothful people only talk about their dreams, but doing nothing about it.
Men of faith on the hand take steps in the direction of their dreams.
Faith manifests itself through the things you are doing.
Faith is obeying instructions. The instructions you take is what gives meaning to your faith.
There are sets of instructions that needs to be received and obeyed for faith to come alive.
Irrespective of the resources or conducive environment, all that is needed is obedience to sets of instructions.
John 6:5-7 (KJV) When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
Faith is simply triggered when instructions are adhered to.
Faith is not just a bail out system, rather it is actually a life style.
Faith is giving substance to the things you are expecting.
A man of faith is someone who obeys diving instructions towards actuallizing supernatural delivery...
1 Corinthians 13:13 (KJV) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Hope is not just a desire but hope always originates from a desire or vision moving in your that stems from God.
Hebrews 6:11-19 (KJV) And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Hope is actually God's promises.
Hope on God is actually the anchor to our soul.
Hope is beyond our personal desire.
Romans 4:17-22 (KJV) (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Luke 1:45 (KJV) And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Psalms 119:49-50 (KJV) Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.
God paints pictures of expectations on the canvas of your soul.
Your desire is often a minute fraction of the hope God fires into your soul.
Hope comes via the written word of God.
Romans 15:4 (KJV) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Make sure you dive into God's word immediately after you have prayed in the holy ghost.
It is obedience to divine instructions that provokes the release of the supernatural.
Hebrews 6:17-19
2 Corinthians 3:15-17
2 Corinthians 3:15-16 (KJV) But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2 Corinthians 4:4 (KJV) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 3:13-14 (KJV) And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
John 5:39-40 (KJV) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Daniel 11:32 (KJV) And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Keeping instructions of scriptures is what give life ... And not just going to Jesus....
Faith is a very intelligent thing....
