Faith moves God, the power of the Holy Spirit . Without faith, not one soul can be healed, including demons cast out. Without faith, no soul can be delivered from sin, from eternal death; no soul can have true victory over sin over Satan—no soul can be made free. Without faith, no soul can have true love, true joy, true happiness, and true peace—the true only comes from God.
“Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.”
James 2:18 KJV
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
James 2:26 KJV
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6 KJV
“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”
Romans 1:17 KJV
“Now the just shall live by faith: But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.”
Hebrews 10:38 KJV
To know and to not do, is sin. If we have not the faith of Jesus, we truly have no power to move forward. If we are preaching and teaching the Word, Truth yet have no faith—We have no Power. That’s why the masses are leaving the church (the body of Christ—the people of God).
Many are of no faith, they are being entertained by they who truly have not the faith of Jesus—and the entertainment they receive, they being deceived call it “power” “a good message” “a powerful sermon”. There is no change in the life. They move from living by emotions. The Holy Spirit is not there, is not dwelling within the soul, is not present in their meeting places. They remain faithless, going through a form of godliness on Sabbath, but all six days live unto self, are men pleasers, are full of pride, and full of Satan’s narcissistic character—yet saying “I have a relationship with God”, but being deceived, they are blind and are in the night, fallen in the ditch and don’t even know the god they serve and say they have a relationship with is the devil, are devils, is Satan.
“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”
James 1:6 KJV
If we are not becoming changed by beholding God in His Word, if a soul has one foot in the Lord and one foot outside of Him; if a soul is on the fence, if a soul is all the time giving in to temptations—giving Satan more and more power over their mind—it is one’s own choice having no faith that brings defeat instead of victory. Just giving in and giving up is not struggling. Fighting the good fight is not giving in. It is, “above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” Ephesians 6:16. By grace, and through faith we are saved. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Without faith, there is no grace.
The Holy Spirit works mightily by our faith choice to believe on Jesus—this is action, the daily walk with God, obeying Him, His law is written in our heart (mind). We live His righteousness because by faith we abide in Him, and it is that we do because Jesus is abiding in us. How? Through the Holy Spirit.
“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”
Philippians 2:1-2, 5 KJV
Faith, simply take YHW at His word, know the Word is true—His Word is done. Period. Believe Him. Behold Him in His Word and become changed. Repent and be converted. Wait upon the Lord. Watch and pray. Be not deceived.
