Pierre Teilhard de Chardin – We are Spiritual beings having a human experience
For we walk not in the flesh, but in Spirit – to walk in something means it needs to be a lifestyle. Faith is a commitment. Faith is alignment with your desires. You have to give more faith to the vision of what you want than the current physical circumstance. Faith defies logic. To walk by faith means it’s not by sight, nor by feelings nor by reasoning. Faith is a trust level that has to do with eternal things. Every time the Bible talks about someone believing, when they believed the Bible says they did something. There is an inner action. This inner action is what moves the wheel. There is a belief that something is going to happen in your life.
2Corinthians 5 vs7 : For our life is a matter of faith not sight
The basic foundation truth of the whole Christian life is faith. For it is impossible to please God without faith. Mans’ faith in God is measured by his confidence in himself. Your confidence in yourself is determined by overcoming a challenge and producing the desired results; and the challenge after that, and the one after that…. Faith is the ability to produce intentional results. All our prayers are answered, but they’re answered in proportion to our faith in him. The blessings you receive from God will always be in proportion to your faith in him. Faith is like a muscle that needs to be exercised for it to grow, so that you can learn to operate from the Spiritual and not just the natural. To expand your experience with God, so that God can make himself more evident to you. Your blessings will always increase in proportion to your faith. And that, is what produces results and elevation in your life.
The very word of belief is a word of action, that something is going to happen in your life. Faith goes beyond believing. If things are to change in your life, it will be based on you truly understanding Gods’ system of faith and sustaining the Grace to engage it accordingly. The Grace to produce intentional results, faith is journeying to God to produce the very results that you want. To be able to predict the effects that you create from the causes that you set in motion.
Hebrews 11:1 – Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For we fix our attention not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts for ever. Changing the unseen is how you change the seen; by aligning your mindset with your desires. Everything that happens in this world, happens twice. First in your imagination and then it shows up in the physical world. It takes faith to be able to produce things to show up in the physical world. It takes time for things to shift and show up in the present world, this stage is where a lot of people give up. Be persistent, faith goes beyond believing that something you can not see is real
A lot of people walk around having dead faith or little faith – that is doubting faith. You’re low vibrational. You have struggling faith. You’re focused on reasons why this may not happen. You’re focused on obstacles and influenced by internal feelings and external situations. When you have little faith you start your projects well but rarely see them through. And some people have Great Faith – With Great Faith you have learned to endure obstacles. You trust Gods’ promises, you know he can and you know he will. Great faith meditates upon the word of God. It is God focused and not obstacle or object focused. We should all aspire to have Perfect Faith – You know that it is done! You’re able to see the finished work before it becomes a reality.
Neville Goddard: calls it standing in the feeling of the wish fulfilled
Every man automatically expresses that which he is conscious of being. We all have certain beliefs about things that you know you can easily get, and some things do not come so easily. It is those very things that we desire that do not come easily for us that require perfect faith. Consciously claim yourself to be that which you seek ,and appropriate the consciousness of that which you seek. To rise in consciousness to the level of the thing desired and to remain there until such a level becomes your natural way. The reason for lack of faith is that man looks at the desired state through the consciousness of his present limitation. Until your present level of consciousness is dropped, you will not be able to rise to another level. Your awareness of being, your self perception is what needs to change in order for you to be able to attain your desires.
Everyone comes on this earth but you decide how much of yourself is manifested. Every human being came with a Divine Nature, a deity deposited within each and everyone of us but it is in seed form. Like any seed it has to grow in order for there to be a full a manifestation of the life that is in the seed. We came with the end in the beginning; it is where you see the destination before the journey. And it is on the journey where you experience God through faith – as life unfolds.
