FAITH: “…you can not generate it; you can not work it up; you can not manufacture it. It is imparted and infused by God Himself. You can not sit in your homes and struggle to have faith, and affirm that something is; nor can you turn your hope and desire into faith by your own power. The only place you can get it is from the Lord,” Charles S. Price, The Real Faith

Dr. Price goes on to talk about “unscriptural mental and intellectual gyrations in our attempt to find a faith we do not possess.” Then He says this:

“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by a Word of God. Let Jesus speak to this heart of mine and doubts will take the wings of the morning and fly away. Let Jesus breathe a little Word to this poor mind of mine … That is how faith comes! Not through the channels of human concepts. Not along the paths of human understandings. Not by the abilities of minds to comprehend, or the power of the intellect to affirm. … One little Word from Jesus is worth all the words in a dictionary of human language.” Charles S. Price, The Real Faith

FAITH NOT FLESH

“…we shall come to the realization that we can receive faith only as He gives it. No longer will we foolishly attempt to struggle to believe.” Charles S. Price, The Real Faith

No effort of our own will create faith in us. If we work hard to make ourselves believe, we’ll have a make-believe faith. Real faith comes one way. It comes by hearing God speak.

What can we do?

We can spend time in God’s presence. We can invite His presence. We can turn our thoughts and attention toward Christ. We can praise and thank Him and give Him glory for anything and everything good or useful. We can realize we are new creatures in Him and identify with the Christ within rather than the carnal mind or the body of flesh. We can listen and respond immediately to the promptings of the Holy Spirit while we ignore the promptings of the fallen nature.

“For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me” (Romans 7:15-20 KJV).

You may wonder about some evil thoughts that come to you. They may not be coming from your carnal mind or fleshly nature. Demonic entities also get into the fight. Those thoughts don’t come from you. You are the Christ in you. Christ in you can’t sin. Christ in you has full authority over any demons.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12 KJV).

Flesh is flesh. It can’t be reformed. Christ in you is Christ. He can’t sin. As a man thinks, so is he.

“Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. Little children, let no man deceive you: He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His seed remaineth in Him: and He cannot sin, because He is born of God” (1 John 3:6-9).

The flesh is flesh and can’t be reformed. Christ in you is Christ and can’t sin. Paul identified with Christ in Him. He was not his flesh. Neither are you your flesh. The old fleshly nature has passed away.

“For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.

YOUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST

One stronghold in our minds says we ARE the sinful fleshly nature. It’s a lie that Satan has repeated so often it’s become a stronghold. It seems real. It’s a lie. Our true identity is Christ in us the hope of glory. The Holy Spirit will tear down this stronghold. Christ in you is your ministry. That’s who you are. You aren’t the flesh. If you identify with the flesh, you’ll manifest the fruit of the flesh. Your flesh will tell you, “THAT’S HOW GOD MADE YOU.” “YOU CAN’T HELP IT.” “YOUR TENDENCY TO SIN IS WHO YOU ARE.” If you listen to your fleshly mind, you’ll fulfill what it says. You must listen to the Spirit, and the Spirit says, “Christ lives in you, and Christ in you is who you are.” “Christ in you cannot sin, and that’s who you are.” “Christ in you has full authority and power over your flesh and exercises this authority and power when you turn your attention to Christ.” Your flesh isn’t born again and can’t do righteousness. When you were born again, a brand new Person was born in you. Christ in you is born again, not the flesh. How much sin can Christ, He Who is born of God, do? None. How much righteousness can the flesh do? None.

TAKE AWAY THE FLESHLY VEIL AND BE TRANSFIGURED

“but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.”

“And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed (transfigured) into His image from one degree of glory to even more glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 2 Corinthians 3:16-18

“But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18 KJV).

When they read Scripture, they only see the theology they’ve been taught. The fleshly veil makes it impossible for them to hear God’s voice. We need to turn our attention to Jesus and listen closely to His voice.

“Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18 KJV).

“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus” (Colossians 3:17 KJV).

Many try to understand Scripture by the fleshly power of the human intellect. If they lean on preconceived ideas, doctrines, theological training, Bible commentaries, or marginal notes rather than Christ, those act as “old wineskins” that burst under the pressure of the “new wine” flowing from God’s throne. The fleshly nature acts as a veil to blind them and dull their hearing.

“But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart” (2 Corinthians 3:16-18 KJV).

“And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13 KJV).

Keep your eyes on Jesus, and He’ll complete His work in you. He identifies and tears down the deceptive strongholds in our minds. If we try to accomplish this work or help Him, our fleshly minds are trying to deceive us by saying they can help us get rid of themselves. We must turn to Jesus, listen to His voice, and see His vision of reality. Even then, our flesh will promise to improve and obey God, but it can’t. We need to yield to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to work through us. Then we’re doing everything in Jesus’ name.

“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus” (Colossians 3:17 KJV).
