Increased Faith . . .
Based on what I’ve seen and/or have heard spoken by those reconciled unto the Family of God through the blood of Jesus, it appears that a significant number of my brothers and sisters “in Christ” either lack awareness and/or confidence in regard to the authority restored unto them by the Blood. For example, during a relatively recent conversation, instead of entering into agreement (Matthew 18:19) as to what God had to say about their particular situation, they adamantly emphasized what the world had to say about it. This lack of awareness and/or confidence points to lack of daily time spent in or with the Living Word (i.e., reading, meditating, muttering, confessing). For revelation of the information in God’s Word by the Teaching of Holy Spirit develops the measure of faith gifted when a spirit is re-created/regenerated/reborn, and the Holy Spirit pours the God-kind of love into our heart by which faith operates or is powered (Romans 12:3 & 5:5; Galatians 5:6).
Assuredly, that which God has said about the situation of anyone reconciled unto the Family of God by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus never changes because God never changes (Malachi 3:6; Hebrews 13:8; James 1:17). Emphasis on what God has said exercises faith (belief) that “nothing is impossible with God” Mark 10:27 (AMP). Whatsoever sons & daughters of God allow out of their own mouth requires attention because training in the way that the world speaks begins at an early age and is systemically reinforced; of which (perhaps needless to state herein) a significant amount includes the trickery of the devil. However, ongoing or continual transformation of the soul (i.e., intellect, will, emotions) by the Word of God increasingly strengthens to a level that tolerates no compromise, that it’s true unto us by the Blood according to Philippians 4:13 and any Scripture held fast. For such engages the shield of faith (Ephesians 6:16) against the devil’s trickery and fiery darts. All to the praise and glory of God the Father, with thanksgiving in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
