Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ~ Hebrews 11:1

The Greek word translated as “substance” is “hupóstasis.” Hupóstasis means the foundation or base, the assurance or support, the subject-matter, the sediment, the real nature, a mental realizing, a substructure, the essence. Faith is solid. Faith is reality as opposed to concept. It’s the reality of things you hope for.

Hope isn’t “I hope so.” Hope is the God-given vision of what God is going to do. Hope is absolute and dependable. If God says it, it’s real. God can’t lie.

What about the word “evidence?” The Greek word is “elegchos.” Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance defines “elegchos” as “proof, conviction:—evidence, reproof.” The 1650 Strong’s defines it like this: “a proof, that by which a thing is proved or tested.” Faith is the absolutely certain proof of things you can’t see with the limitations of your natural eyes. Faith is absolute because it comes from your absolute God.

You don’t manufacture this faith. You can’t. Jesus Christ begins and completes your faith.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter [completer] of our faith ~ Hebrews 12:2a

All who love truth find Jesus. Jesus is real and knowable. He’s a living Person, not a religion or idea. All who sincerely and persistently seek Him find Him. He is the Light that gives light (His wisdom, knowledge, love, and all the fruits of the Spirit) to every person. All wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. Thank Him and give Him the glory. Don’t grab the glory for yourself.

Those who listen to His voice and yield to His Spirit to the point that He speaks His words and does His acts through them go from glory to greater glory as the fleshly carnal nature becomes less and Christ is more completely formed in them. This is the meaning of salvation by grace through faith. If you don’t understand that, pray for wisdom on it, and God will speak to you about it.

Christ leads, teaches, and corrects all who follow Him. Do not add to His words or diminish any of them. Don’t second-guess Him or try to analyze what He gives. Thank Him for the wisdom and knowledge He gives, and don’t take the glory for yourself. Those who refuse to thank Him walk into ever-greater darkness with each step. Those who thank Him, give Him the glory, and allow Him to work through them walk into ever-greater light with each step.

You can’t produce love

You can’t produce righteousness. It comes from God. You can’t produce love. It’s a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It comes from the Holy Spirit. It comes by listening to His voice and receiving His faith. His faith gives you access to His grace. His grace does the works of love and says the words of love through you. You yield yourself to His love. You play an important part. You yield. You stop fighting God. God does everything else.

The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~ Romans 13:9

For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~ Galatians 5:13-14

And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him. In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him. ~ 1 John 4:16-17

If you listen to God in all the ways He speaks to you, God’s faith comes. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word (rhema) of God.

Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word (rhema or utterance) of Christ. ~ Romans 10:17

The Greek term, “rhema,” translated “word,” means “utterance.” Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the utterance of God. Jesus Christ is the Logos, the Utterance of God. That’s why Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of your faith. When God speaks, He’s speaking the essence of Christ into you if you will receive it from Him. He’s planting a seed. That means when God leads, if you have ears to hear, faith comes. This faith isn’t an internal human effort of making yourself believe, that is, make-believe. It’s not pretending. Faith is substance: reality as opposed to concept. And it’s evidence: absolutely certain proof.

Righteousness

Righteousness is Jesus Christ manifesting Himself in you, and righteousness springs forth by grace through faith. It’s a gift. That’s the process where God speaks, you hear, faith comes and gives access to grace, and grace does God’s works through you.

You aren’t saved by righteousness, but you are saved to righteousness. You aren’t saved from righteousness, but you are saved from sin. Righteousness is a gift, and it’s part of your salvation.

the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! ~ Romans 5:7b

For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. ~ Isaiah 61:11

Someone may say, “Aren’t you just supposed to love one another, and doesn’t that make righteousness something that belongs to the Law of Moses?” A question like that shows a lack of understanding.

Love is righteousness. God is love. God’s Law is love. God working through you is righteousness. God working through you is the love of God flowing through you.

God made Jesus Christ your wisdom, which is righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. ~ 1 Corinthians 1:30

This Scripture indicates that wisdom includes righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

You need to live, move, and have your being in the utterances of Christ as He leads you. If you do that, you’ll eventually know where to fellowship. You’ll know where God has set authority on earth. God is restoring the church. The church is now immature, but God is moving. The church is in disarray, but God will bring order. Organized religion is most often human-organized rather than God-ordained. Much of the church operates in non-Biblical forms and rituals. The church is dragging along artifacts of apostasies and abominations that crept into the church during the first several centuries of the church’s existence. You will find it easier to spot these disorders in other churches. You’ll have trouble seeing them in your own church. You get used to disorder, and disorder gives the illusion of order if you’re accustomed to it.

Many refer to themselves as “called and ordained.” Some of them, God didn’t call or ordain. God didn’t send them. They sent themselves. And yet, God did call some, and they are walking in that calling.

God doesn’t overwhelm you. As God leads, teaches, and corrects you, He’ll continually give you little flashes of a vision of this holy body of Christ. He’ll show you what it will be when He finishes it. He’ll form it without spot or wrinkle or any such thing. It’s an unfolding revelation. As you discern this body and submit to the authority of this body, the Holy Spirit will continue to transfigure you from glory to glory.

You need a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in which He leads, teaches, and corrects you moment by moment in every situation. Then, He speaks to you through the Bible and all the various methods of divine revelation mentioned in the Bible. He speaks visions of hope to you personally in your innermost being. Often, these visions come as momentary flashes of light, and you say, “Wow! I never saw that before.”

God is restoring the church to its original order and pattern. However, you can’t see the Biblical pattern and order in the church today. It’s not there yet. Some theologians even try to explain away the differences by making up an extra-Biblical “apostolic age.” When God shows you something isn’t according to the pattern of Scripture, you shouldn’t argue with Him. You need to acknowledge His voice and seek His face about what you must do.

When you read the Bible, God is speaking.

The [physical human] body is a unit, though it is composed of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one [physical human] body. So it is with Christ. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:12

When you read the Bible, God is speaking. I hope you’re listening to Him and thanking Him. In 1 Corinthians 12:12, God says the human body is a unit composed of many parts. Then, He says, “So it is with Christ.”  He DOESN’T say, “So it is with THE BODY OF Christ.” He says “So it is with Christ.”  Christ is the Head in heaven joined to the many-membered body here on earth.

When you discern the body of Christ, you see Christ in all the members of the body of Christ. You see gifts of the Spirit, ministries, offices, and orders. When you recognize and submit to the authority of gifts, ministries, offices, and orders, you recognize and submit to Christ. You carry the authority of the body of Christ everywhere as a member of this body. If I could, I would go into detail on the ways the nine gifts of the Spirit, ministries, offices, orders, and government of the Church work. Suffice it to say God has a pattern for His Church. It’s all in the Bible. We can’t deny those parts of Scripture that tell us about the pattern. The pattern of Scripture is different from what most churches follow. Change is hard, but changes will come. God has already revealed much, and the church has much that it must walk into.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord. ~ 2 Corinthians 3:18

If you see it right, you see the body of Christ as God sees it. Only one Scripture identifies the veil, and the veil is a symbol of the flesh. It refers to the fleshly nature that blinds you so you can’t see reality as it really is. You can’t hear God’s voice, not even when you’re reading Scripture because of the veil of the flesh. Christ removes the veil from your face and you can see.  All you did was to focus on Him. You look as if looking into a mirror. You see the glory of the Lord in that image. And then, you’re transformed. The word translated as “transformed” is the Greek word “metamorphoo,” which means transfigured. It’s the same word used to describe the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain. However, your transfiguration isn’t sudden. Rather, it goes from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.

What’s happening? What’s this transfiguration? The fleshly veil is disappearing. Every stronghold of the fleshly veil is toppling. God is removing this veil like pealing back the layers of an onion. God removes a layer of lies. You feel like you’re finally seeing things right, but then God starts working on the next layer of the onion. At the same time, the Holy Spirit is sowing Christ into your heart. God speaks and the Holy Spirit sows Christ into your heart.

God is leading you by His Spirit. When He speaks, He speaks a vision touching all your spiritual senses. You hear Him, you feel Him, you smell Him, you taste Him, and you see Him. You aren’t mature yet, so your spiritual senses aren’t fully developed, but you’re learning to hear His voice, see His vision, and yield in submission.

You say you’re walking in the Spirit. If you’re walking, you’re going somewhere. You’re on the Way, and this Way is Jesus Christ. He is the Way, Truth, and Life. You could compare your moment-by-moment progress as you travel on this Way to taking a physical step on a path. A single step seems like nothing. However, each step is important since each step brings you closer to your goal of God’s Kingdom.

Your walk always begins with God leading. Since Christ guides you, trains you, and corrects you moment by moment in every part of your life, you can choose to listen or you can choose to ignore Him.

How does He lead you? He speaks to you through Scripture. He also speaks to you through all the means of divine revelation God shows you through Scripture. He speaks to you directly through a still small voice. He speaks through a word of knowledge or a word of wisdom. He speaks through dreams and visions. He leads through those members He sets in offices of authority in the Church. And He leads through every member as you build each other up in love.

Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:2-3
