What is Faith?
…God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Romans 12:3, ESV
It is actually believing in something we cannot see, feel, taste, touch or hear. Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain what we do not see in the natural. Our five senses do not work when we have faith. My body and flesh do not have faith. Faith resides in my spirit.
We are a spirit, we live in a body and we have a soul which is our mind, will and emotions. Over time we have learned to operate out of our body which includes our five senses. We have come to rely on our senses so much that it can become difficult to operate in our gift of faith. I’d like to challenge you with something. Take a moment and and listen to your spirit. Literally pause right now and just listen to your spirit. Did you notice that your spirit did not need to feel, taste, touch, hear or see any thing from your physical body? Our spirit works independent of our body. Our spirit only needs the body to operate here in the earth. When our assignment is finished here on earth our spirit goes back to God. The only thing left of us on earth is our body. We have all seen a dead body and we know that their spirit is gone.
We cannot see our spirit, we cannot touch our spirit, we cannot hear with our natural ears our spirit, nor can we taste our spirit. However, we know that our spirit is there. Welcome to faith! Our God is a spirit. We cannot physically see, feel, taste, touch or hear him, yet we experience all those senses with Him in the spiritual supernatural realm.
When we walk in faith, it is our spirit talking to God’s Spirit and we believe He heard us. We believe He has answered our request because He said that if we ask it would be given unto us. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8, KJV
At times it can seem like we don’t have any faith at all, simply because we are living in a situation that is not our desire or things are very difficult. I want to encourage you that you have all the faith you need. Our five senses in the physical can be our enemies of our faith in God. But be encouraged because scripture says …God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. Romans 12:3, ESV
Remember this, the first human failed the test of faith so don’t be hard on yourself. God has given us the faith we need to believe in whatever He has put in our spirit. He has also given us His word the Bible to increase our faith in anything that we face. Scripture says So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing the word of God. Romans 10:17, KJV
Father, thank you for your love and the generosity of faith you have given us. We believe in you and we know that you are real. We pray that you will help the part of us where there is unbelief that it will be transformed into great faith. We surrender ourselves to you this we pray in Jesus’ name Amen!
