God measures your spiritual maturity by your faith in His promises.
You were born without the ability to live by faith.
Faith is an inherited gift from Jesus to all believers. It is the only way of interacting with God. Without faith you cannot please God.
Faith is an intrinsic quality. The faith lived out by Jesus while on the earth is sealed inside you in the essence of the Holy Spirit. It is your responsibility to walk by faith in all real life situations. Faith is a lifestyle of living and believing the promises of God.
The journey with God will take you through many different seasons. When life is good faith tends to becomes moot or illusive to most believers. Faith loses its importance in the scheme of life.
The storms of life are orchestrated by God. They cause you to either walk in unyielding faith or panic and seek worldly solutions. Your response to the crises of life will determine your standing with God.
Daniel walked by faith with God. He was willing to enter a lion’s den and face a painful death.
This courage is what God is looking for in your life. When on the brink of disaster or facing death you choose to stand firm in trusting God.
How can you reach this kind of risk taking faith with God?
This begins with meeting the Living Christ and making a genuine decision to live for Him above all else. At this time, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit who is the life of Christ. He teaches you how to walk by faith and gives you glimpses of the transfigured Christ.
As you walk by faith, God will demonstrate His power and greatness in real life situations. This will give you the confidence to believe God in the most dire of circumstances.
Nothing is impossible for God! Your faith will motivate God to move mountains and deliver you from adversity.
He is Christ the Lord. And, there is no one like Him!
