GOD'S KIND OF FAITH

If you can even get just a glimpse of the beauty of this realm of faith, your whole life will change. If you see it, you will see the Christ-life, and you will give all so that you may have it. To live in this realm of faith is God's will and great desire for all of us He who is for you is a million times more than all than can be against you.....What an advantage it would be if we could just come to a place where we know that everything is within reach of us.

Faith was build in the fact that he "knew that he knew that he knew" that God was a million times greater than any difficulty or trial he cames across. He lived in this reality of faith, which was such a great joy. This faith and the pursuit of this faith caused you, me to count all trials as joy. All of life became sweet with this outlook.

This is the "like precious faith" (2 Peter 1:1) "which was once for all delivered to the Saints" (Jude 3). This "faith that prevails," "the ever increasing faith," cannot be generated by anything else but seeing God through every situation and circumstance. It is the "pearl of great price" that the merchant found (Matthew 13:46).

No real joy is found in the faith built by man's Precept and programs. (God will develop in us a joyful faith as we allow Him to do so). But there is exhilaration, "joy inexpressible and full of glory" (1 Peter 1:8), in the faith that God builds. The Lord Jesus is "the author and finisher of our faith" (Hebrew 12:2), and He will develop in us a joyful faith as we allow Him to do so.

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says to the churches" 

(Revelation 2:29). We must not settle for anything less than this reality of faith that is available to all of us not just a mental assent or hope, but the faith that only ask once, believes, and sees its object come to pass. You will not get it from any book. You will not get it from any seminar. You will not get it from any course or college or teacher. You will not get it, no matter how good it is. Although these things can instruct you, guide you, and help your faith to grow, youth ultimately can get this kind of faith only from God Himself. From walking in close relationship with Him, living in His Word, hungering and thirsting for Him, and continuously yielding to His Spirit, you will obtain God's kind of faith as you learn to "count it all joy" (James1:2)
