Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,

After the fall of humankind, YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD) entered covenant after covenant with humankind, but none could hold to their end. Then the LORD God entered covenant with Abram and swore by Himself. The Omniscient One chose Abram to enter covenant with because He knew that Abraham would adhere to the way of the LORD God and teach his household likewise. At that time, Abram and his wife Sarai had no children but the LORD God changed his name to Abraham which meant the father of many. Imagine the scoffing from others when he began to “call things that be not as though they were” in the way of the LORD God; To speak the promise, not the problem. Abraham believed in God as well as believed what God said, and such was accounted to him as righteousness.

Revelation knowledge unveils that righteousness is given unto those who believe, and that thereafter a believer receives through faith. For God’s Word specifies that “The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17). Abraham is referred to as the “father of faith”; appointed by the LORD God as the father of all believers.

  • “He is not our racial father — that’s reading the story backward. He is our faith ” Romans 4:16 (MSG)

Abraham never looked at what was seen in the natural realm; he never wavered regarding God’s promise. Rather, Abraham remained steadfastly assured that “God is able” to keep His Word. Therefore, when Abraham learned that his nephew Lot was taken captive by the armies of four kings (which were victorious over the armies of five kings), he took all 318 men born and raised in his household into war to recover his nephew Lot. The full expectation (faith) of Abraham had to be in a supernatural victory. That is, God’s super on the natural of Abraham and his household of 318 men. Glory to God!

Faith walkers believe in the LORD God and what the LORD God says about those redeemed and reborn and reconciled unto Him by the blood of Jesus as heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ Jesus.

  • “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 (KJV) 
  • “Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One.” Romans 10:17 (TPT)  

The Message (MSG) version of Romans 10:17 goes further in stating that “Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ’s Word is preached, there’s nothing to listen to.” For Christ Jesus is the Word of God made flesh.

A person who acts by faith, especially in the public eye, may appear foolish to a non-believer. Yet, faith operated by love stands firm-footed in the things of the LORD God and in the way of the way of the LORD God; just as YESHUA/JESUS exemplified by only doing and speaking as He heard of His Father. The Lord Jesus had to have faith that the LORD God would raise Him up from death and out of the pit of Hell as evidenced when He agonized in the Garden; and the manifest power of the LORD God through the Holy Spirit resurrected the Lord Jesus for His Ascension and seating at the right hand of God the Father.  

In one of the Letters From Heaven the Apostle Paul wrote:

  • “I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you by faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm!” Ephesians 1:19-20 (TPT)
