Faith as our Father Intended

There are hundreds of perspectives on faith that is described to us in the Holy Bible, and yet it still seems to lack. What is it the bible is teaching us when it speaks to us of Faith and how is it possible to acquire such a faith that one may literally live by it according to Romans 1:17.

As with all the teachings here at Trueview in order to have the true perspective that God intended us to live in we must go to him and see where faith begins (For all that is in Christ begin with our Father). And according to the word we are told that Faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God). Now the dictionary tells us that faith is strict obedience to duty so we can at this point say that faith comes when we hear God and we are to obey that voice. Well this makes sense even in the natural, look at the centurion soldier who came to Christ and caused Jesus to marvel at so great a Faith. He told Jesus that he too was a man under authority, and because he understood authority, he was able to see the power in Jesus' authority. Therefore he did not need for him to come and demonstrate a miracle, yet only to give to him a word of promise and the soldier would know. So faith comes when we hear from God directly. It produces results when we obey. Remember not the hearers of the word are justified but those who hear and obey! We are able to please God by the fact that he speaks his will into our hearts that we may receive the Faith to please him remember this faith comes when we hear Him. And without faith it is impossible to please Him or without hearing from Him it is impossible to please Him. Praise God we do not have a Father is who is unable to be pleased. But we who are His sons and are led by His spirit are able To Please Him!

Still not convinced okay Jesus when he walked the earth as a man told us in scripture that man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the Father mouth. See how that ties in with the faith coming from god's mouth giving to us the body of Christ faith that we can live by. If you are in a situation and you need some encouragement and you come to me. I can tell you how God has done great things in my life in similar situations and yet even though you leave refreshed you have not received substance from my lips. However in the same situation now as you are praying and studying now the Holy spirit begins to speak to you in the midst of your trial and he reveals a promise and his nature to you. Now you have received substance like that which Heb 11:1 describes where Faith (which just came by hearing God speak to you!) is, the substance of things Hope for ...It is the evidence of things not seen. Scenario... you have only days to live and you have nothing but evil reports and all of them are negative and no one is able to bring hope let alone life! And God speaks into your being and says Son/Daughter I have not left you!!!! I will never ever forsake you no matter what the reports say this is what I say !!!!!! And now you have the faith to go beyond the facts and lies that are here in the natural realm because our father does not lie! Faith is knowing the outcome, before ...it comes out. Write that on the walls of your Heart! Faith is knowing (not believing) the outcome before it comes out!

Look at Noah He is one of our greatest leaders in Faith. There he was living in a world of unbelief that manifested itself in sin of all nature to the point that it tired God. And so God decided to begin again with Noah. Then he began to speak to Noah and he told him all that would occur and what it was he needed Noah to do, if he was to escape and save his family as well. Now Noah knew God and when he heard this word he knew it was God speaking but look at what God said to him at this time. He said I am going to produce rain Noah (it had never rained before this day to come) and enough to flood the whole earth for a period of forty days. Now Noah had to obey this word or he too would have been lost. Now Noah's wife did not hear it his children did not hear it Noah heard from God. It took Noah 100 years to build the ark and yet he never dropped the word and the faith that came along with it. I can see this now Noah building a boat so large it would take up three football fields and took 100 years to build. For every day that he gathered wood prepared it and continued in the pattern of this salvation for his home he would have to hear from those who had not heard the word. Some of those would be his family too yet the Faith he rcvd in the word he heard carried him to the result of the promise and he saw what he never seen before (that being rain) by the obedience to God's. Proving How by Faith and patience we inherit the Promises!

The word is full of these types of manifestations of God speaking and creating Faith in His children. Take some time and discover this true Faith in God's word that comes to you when you receive a word from Him who has sent us. Your life will never be the same you will no longer look for the way of escape you will learn to listen for it. And if you are in a trial at this time I know it was created for you by our father and that it is intended to draw you to Him. Take the time to ask Him to speak to you the word that is needed to carry you through this time in your life.

We are coming to the time in the Church when we are to be moving as one unit in this earth and not as many divisions of a belief system but one corporate body moving harmoniously. This can only occur as we hear the true voice of our Father and we literally put it above all other things in our day. No more can we walk and use our opinion of Faith to satisfy our lustful desires for material gain. But we must realize that all that we have and all that we receive is to further enhance the move of the Gospel Here in the earth and to cause much Glory to come to our Father. We can not live in the shadow of the world we are the light in this earth and it is time as in Isaiah to arise and shine for our light has come

I pray that you grow in Faith as a result of heating God speak not just hearing yourself repeat the written word but by an experience with the living word. May your Faith then cause you to inherit the promises of God and make you pleasing in His sight and may you receive the faith that you need to live by. And may your faith be expressed in a manifestation of the author and finisher of our Faith so bright it expels darkness in you and those around you
