Those who have the ability to visualize the invisible understand what it means to walk by faith. Faith is ability to see what transpires in the realm of the invisible. It is declaring what you can see in the invisible realm in a bid to make them appear in the visible realm.
It may not exist yet in the material world but actual exist in the spiritual realms, and men of faith simply declare them into material existence.
So when we say it takes faith, what we really mean is that we can see that it exists already in the spiritual or invisible realms. So we are not just saying something, but "prophesying" , speaking into existence what already exist in the realm of the Spirit.
All this is because when God created man, he gave him a body and give him dominion over the material world. So man in the body has dominion over earth and all within it. So "God in flesh" (the word became flesh, and God is the word, John 1:1-5) rules tbe material world while "God as a Spirit" John 4:24, rules the eternal realms.
Anything provided by the God as a Spirit can only be made available to the "God in the flesh" by faith. So when we give our lives to Jesus, we become "God in the flesh". As many as received him, to them gave he, power to be the sons of God.
"But as many as received him, to those who believed in his name, to them he gave the right to become the sons of God, "
John 1:12
Faith is so critical because it is operating with spiritual understanding - knowing what transpires in the realm of the invisible.
See how Jesus interpreted faith, so phenomenal.
The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy for you to come under my roof, but just speak the word and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this man, ‘Go’, and he goes; and to another, ‘Come’, and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this’, and he does it”.
When Jesus heard this, he marvelled and said to those who were following, “Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel. ” Matthew 8:8-10
Jesus called the actions of the Centurion as great faith. He was able to liken what goes on the spiritual with what transpires in the material world.
But he answered and said, “I was not sent to anyone except the lost sheep of the house of Israel”. Then she came and worshipped him, saying, “Lord, help me”. But he answered and said, “It is not right to take the children's bread, and throw it to the dogs”. And she said, “True, Lord! Yet the dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table”. Then Jesus answered and said to her, “Woman, your faith is great! It will be to you just as you wish”. And from that hour her daughter was healed. Matthew 15:24-28
Here again, Jesus affirms great faith. Ability to liken what goes on in the realm of the Spirit with what goes on in the material realm.
No wonder God so loved the world... They seem to be the only ones that exercised great faith. Religious people tend to downplay faith due to their partial knowledge of God really is.
Religious people are those who have minds that are not yet renewed. To renew you mind is to possess understanding of what happens in the invisible realms.
Kingdom people have imaginations that is powered by the spirit of understanding , memory that is powered by the spirit of knowledge, intellect that is powered by the spirit of wisdom, emotions that is powered by the fear of God and a will powered by the spirit of counsel.
To renew is to move from faith to faith, moving from faith to faith is transiting from understanding what you see in the physical to interpret what you can see in the Spiritual. It is from understanding to the spirit of understanding!
But there is a spirit in man, and the inspiration of the Almighty gives him understanding.
Job 32:8
When inspiration comes alive, the Spirit of understanding is activated and your eyes begin to see things that are in heavens repository awaiting your download by faith and installation via a renewed mindset.
To therefore walk in accordance to the will of God, a deliberate need for the renewal of our faith is a must!
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. As it is written,
“The righteous will live by faith”.
Romans 1:17
Faith is not pretending to be who you think you are, rather it is revelation of who God has made you in Christ Jesus. It is more of a discovery of your real identity.
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born I sanctified you, and I ordained you a prophet to the nations”. Jeremiah 1:5
It is one thing to know what God has made you, it is another thing for you believe it and make it a reality in the material world - this makes it "super - natural"
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree”. Jeremiah 1:11
I pray that faith comes alive in you to receive the revelation of your true identity, as you get your faith renewed!
