The Faith That Dominates
Faith is a dominant force that operates in the present tense. It is now faith that is needed for now issues (Hebrews 11:1). Nothing dominates like faith that is current and active. Faith grants access to a world of unlimited possibilities! As Jesus said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible” (Mark 10:27). He also declared, “If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” (Mark 9:23).
Faith Brings You Into the Realm of God
Faith positions you in the same operational realm as God. At the tomb of Lazarus, Jesus said, “If thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God” (John 11:39-40). With faith, nothing is irreversible! Whatever has no stand in heaven is changeable on the earth (Matthew 6:10). Faith enforces heaven’s realities in the affairs of men.
God’s Word declares:
“God cannot lie” (Titus 1:2, Hebrews 6:18).
“Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord” (Luke 1:45).
“The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand” (Isaiah 14:24).
Wisdom: The Substance of Faith
Faith is not blind; wisdom is the "substance" that gives credibility to faith. Just as data powers technology, divine wisdom powers faith. When our belief is founded on wisdom, it transforms into an unshakable, undeniable, and irresistible faith.
Faith That Works Requires a Good Conscience
For faith to produce results, it must be upheld in a good conscience (James 1:7, 1 Timothy 1:19, 3:9). The eyes of the Lord run to and fro, seeking those whose hearts are perfect toward Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). The state of your heart matters in your walk of faith (2 Chronicles 25:2, Acts 24:16).
Faith in Christ: The Key to Victory
Jesus alone must be the absolute focus of your faith, for He alone is the terminator of sorrow (Psalm 16:4). Godliness remains profitable unto all things (1 Timothy 4:8). Faith that is void of wisdom is blind faith, but faith that is founded on wisdom is ever-winning faith!
Let your faith be active, current, and rooted in divine wisdom. This is the faith that dominates!
