Jesus authors your faith. That’s why faith has such authority.

Faith is Substance and Evidence

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

Faith is a substance. And yet, it’s not a material substance. The substance of faith is real. It’s much more real than the material world of creation. Faith is a spiritual substance that will never be destroyed. Any material substance will pass away. Faith is reality as opposed to an idea or concept. God is working to put this spiritual substance into you permanently. You can’t separate the substance of faith from Christ Himself.

Faith is the reality of things hoped for. This hope isn’t “I-hope-so” hope. God’s hope is eternal. God’s hope is solid. God’s hope is a vision from God of what He’s going to do. It shows you who you are in Christ. This vision from God shows how you fit into the body of Christ. It shows you what is and isn’t part of the body of Christ. It shows you what God is calling you to do right now.

You have to know what God is telling you to do so you can do His will. You need to know how you fit into the body of Christ. You need to know what is and is not part of the body of Christ. God is building His house according to His pattern, and He’s revealing His pattern to you.

And faith is the evidence of things you have never seen. Faith doesn’t need circumstantial evidence to prove it. Circumstantial evidence never proves anything. It can’t. God can speak to you through circumstantial evidence, but circumstantial evidence isn’t sure without God revealing the meaning of the circumstantial evidence. People often use circumstantial evidence to tell lies.

Faith is proof because God gives you supernatural faith when He speaks to you. What God says to you is true. All physical and natural evidence is circumstantial, so it can’t show you the truth. Circumstantial evidence uses rationalizations. Rationalizations use assumptions. Assumptions are beliefs based on nothing but inner concepts and worldviews. You created your inner concepts and worldviews with circular reasoning and confirmation bias. You can’t trust them. That means you can’t trust circumstantial evidence.

You can trust God. God is absolute.

Faith Can Be a Fruit

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith ~ Galatians 5:22 King James Version

Faith is also a fruit of the Spirit. That fruit sprouted up in you by grace, which was through faith, which came when God spoke to you. And yet, the fruit that springs up in you includes faith. God is giving you a second round of faith when the fruit of faith comes by grace through faith. You might have to ask the Holy Spirit to show you how that works before you can understand it.

Faith Can Be a Gift

Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different ministries, but the same Lord. And there are different activities, but the same God works all of them in each person. A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good: to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit, to another, a message of knowledge by the same Spirit, to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another, the performing of miracles, to another, prophecy, to another, distinguishing between spirits, to another, different kinds of tongues, to another, interpretation of tongues. One and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as he wills. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Christian Standard Bible

God also gives a special gift of faith to some. This gift of faith operates in them only at the command of God. These people with the gift of faith aren’t free to direct this faith as they want. God always moves first for any faith, including the gift of faith. Never forget. God speaks. You hear. Faith comes. That’s why faith has power.

Faith by Hearing

If faith comes as a fruit of the Spirit, it comes by hearing. If faith comes as a gift of the Spirit, it comes by hearing. The faith to be born again comes by hearing. Any faith you have comes by hearing God leading, teaching, or correcting you. God can speak to you through the Bible. As God speaks through the Bible, He tells you about many of the other ways He speaks to you. No matter how God speaks to you, God’s faith will come if you listen.

Satan’s Tricks

Satan will try to convince you that faith is something faith is not. Satan will say faith is belief WITHOUT evidence when faith IS the evidence. Satan will say faith is belief BASED ON evidence when faith IS the evidence.

Satan will try to convince you that you can get faith some other way. Satan doesn’t want you listening to God’s voice in willing submission and deep respect. Satan will say you have to do works of piety to get faith. Satan will try to get you to use your intellect, emotion, knowledge, observation, common sense, or something else to get faith. None of that works.

Satan will say faith is belief, but you have to presuppose God exists, and you have to presuppose the Bible is God’s word without error. You don’t have to presuppose anything. God reveals He exists. He makes it so plain to you that you know by divine revelation. The same for the Bible. God shows you the Bible is His word without error. You don’t have to presuppose God’s revelation or figure it out.

Don’t fall for Satan’s tricks. Don’t be deceived.

Pressing Toward God’s Goal

God intends to transform you and make you like Jesus. You can’t even imagine what that is right now, but your transfiguration will make human ideas about power and authority look foolish. It will make human ideas about love, justice, and peace look pathetic. This is transformation beyond your wildest hopes. You’ve always sensed an inner longing for something more. God put that longing in your heart, and He intends to fulfill it in you. You now know how to seek God and find Him. You know how to let the Holy Spirit lead you. You know how to receive the powerful and effective faith of God. Those are the first two keys you need to open God’s mysterious and ingenious lock. Those two keys alone won’t open the door to your total transfiguration into the image and likeness of Christ. Three more keys remain. I’ve hinted at them, but you need the detail to see how they work. And you have much to learn about the pitfalls and traps Satan has set for you. You need to know how to avoid all those pitfalls and traps.  You need to know how to apply the remaining three keys in God’s way and order.

In the parable of the sower, God sows the Seed. The Seed is the Word, which is God’s spoken Word. Jesus is the Logos, the spoken Word of God by Whom God created the universe.

Key #3: Faith Gives Access to Grace

How do you get God’s grace? What are the means of grace?

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. ~ Romans 5:1b-2 Berean Study Bible

What does Romans 5:1b-2 tell you? It says you gained access into this grace. And you gained access into this grace by faith. Faith gave you that access. Faith allowed grace to take hold of you. Faith is the key that opened your door to grace. You stand in this grace. You couldn’t stand without this grace. Grace causes you to stand in Christ and to walk in His righteousness. Only by grace are you able to stand. Only by grace are you able to walk in God’s will.

You need God’s grace, but you can only receive God’s grace one way. Through Jesus Christ, you have gained access, by faith, into this grace. (Romans 5:2) Once you receive God’s faith by hearing His Word (The Father’s Utterance is Jesus Christ), God gives you His grace through faith. (Ephesians 2:8) Then, you advance to the works grace does since “faith without works is dead.” (James 2:17) God’s grace says God’s words and does God’s acts through you. (1 Corinthians 15:10) That means Christ, by grace, saves you from sin. (1 John 1:7) Now, you can have the real Sabbath Day rest as you stop doing your own works. (Hebrews 3:7-4:8) When Jesus does His works through you, that’s what righteousness is. Jesus authors your faith, and then He finishes your faith by doing His works through you. (Hebrews 12:2) You have a part in this. You surrender your entire being to God’s gift of righteousness. (Romans 6:13)

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith ~ Hebrews 12:2a Berean Study Bible

Fix your spiritual eyes on Jesus. Direct your will to follow His will.

Key #3: Faith Gives Access to Grace

How do you get God’s grace? What are the means of grace?

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we stand. ~ Romans 5:1b-2 Berean Study Bible

What does Romans 5:1b-2 tell you? It says you gained access into this grace. And you gained access into this grace by faith. Faith gave you that access. Faith allowed grace to take hold of you. Faith is the key that opened your door to grace. You stand in this grace. You couldn’t stand without this grace. Grace causes you to stand in Christ and to walk in His righteousness. Only by grace are you able to stand. Only by grace are you able to walk in God’s will.

What is the nature of authority? What about power? How is power different from authority? How do we receive these? God promises us authority and power. We find this in Scripture, but the promise isn’t without conditions.

Authority comes as God speaks, and faith is that God-given authority to accomplish whatever God has spoken to us. And yet, faith, in itself, lacks the power to do anything. Grace is the power of God to accomplish His will through us. Satan has power but no authority. Notice the ramifications if we try to exercise spiritual power without authority.

What is understanding, and how can we get it? How is it different from knowledge and wisdom? I went to God with this question for decades, but He waited until now to give me the answer.

Previously, God had shown me that all wisdom, knowledge, and understanding come from Christ. God showed me that 1 Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Jesus is our wisdom and that wisdom consists of righteousness, holiness, and redemption (the freeing of a slave from sin). And He also showed me that all knowledge that is knowledge is knowledge of the truth. It does little good to have knowledge of that which isn’t truth. And Jesus is the Truth. That means that knowledge is knowledge of Jesus. And knowledge is more than just knowing about Jesus. Rather, it is the intimate planting of the Seed of Christ as we yield to His grace, which is through faith, which comes by hearing the Word (Christ) of God. But what about understanding? What is understanding? Then, we have these two verses:

Lean not on your own understanding. (see Proverbs 3:5-6)

Though it cost all you have, get understanding. (see Proverbs 4:7)

During a Sunday service, I got a picture of a giant jigsaw puzzle, and members of the body of Christ trying to put it together. We keep trying to get all the pieces and fit them in their places. As I thought about that, a thought came that many of the pieces seem to fit in one place, but there’s something a little off. You can force them into place, but they don’t quite work. That’s when God showed me that it’s not just the problem of getting all the pieces in the right place. It’s the problem that we have two different puzzles, so I said so. That’s when one sister started laughing and said, “I was just about to say the same thing.” One puzzle is of our own understanding and the other comes from God.

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. (1 John 5:20)

We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives. Colossians 1:9

Well, it didn’t end there. Not only are there two different puzzles, but those puzzles are totally different in their nature. The spiritual puzzle isn’t a puzzle at all, but it is the essence and glory of Christ in us. If I try to put the wisdom and truth of God into a cistern, I’ll find that cistern to be broken and unable to hold the flowing stream of Christ that comes from the throne of God. What about understanding? Understanding is the Christ in us that has been built up through God’s by-grace-through-faith process. This Christ in us never disconnects from the Father but is always immersed in that flowing stream of life from heaven. This has to do with acknowledging who we are in Christ both individually and as a body.

Understanding doesn’t come by careful analysis, theology, and hermeneutics. Understanding comes by being led by the Spirit of God and being transformed from glory to glory into the image of Christ.

A lot of people aren’t aware of this history. In 1948, three things happened, and they all have to do with the coming together of the body of Christ. “I pray that they all may be one that the world may believe that You have sent Me.” God moved. Satan counterfeited. There was a natural fulfillment. Following many previous moves of God, a new move of the Spirit of God began in 1948, and that move is still ongoing. The Charismatic Movement came out of this move and disrupted many of the walls of division in the Church. Some people called it “The Latter Rain, although God never called it that. Because this is a move of the Spirit of God for the Church coming into unity, it is often called Global Missions. However, this move has nothing to do with names or organizations. Satan counterfeited this move with the World Council of Churches. The natural fulfillment of this move came with natural Israel becoming a state in that year, and that work is also still ongoing to the fulfillment of what God has for Israel. So, God did something, but there was also a movement of men afoot that was trying to cause confusion. As with every move of God, there were many who fought against God directly or tried to create diversions. Egos became involved as always happens because of the weakness of human flesh. Emotions, disorders, theologies, and baggage from various denominations disrupted but were not able to stop God from moving. God began to establish authority through prophecy and the laying on of hands of the presbytery. Authority comes with faith, and faith comes by the rhema of God as He speaks through His saints. Power comes with grace, and grace is always through faith. You are saved from sin (and to righteousness) by grace, which is through faith. It is the gift of God, not of yourself, lest anyone should boast.

And faith is the evidence of things you have never seen. Faith doesn’t need circumstantial evidence to prove it. Circumstantial evidence never proves anything. It can’t. God can speak to you through circumstantial evidence, but circumstantial evidence isn’t sure without God revealing the meaning of the circumstantial evidence. People often use circumstantial evidence to tell lies.

Faith is proof because God gives you supernatural faith when He speaks to you. What God says to you is true. All physical and natural evidence is circumstantial, so it can’t show you the truth. Circumstantial evidence uses rationalizations. Rationalizations use assumptions. Assumptions are beliefs based on nothing but inner concepts and worldviews. You created your inner concepts and worldviews with circular reasoning and confirmation bias. You can’t trust them. That means you can’t trust circumstantial evidence.

You can trust God. God is absolute.

As you exercise your spiritual senses, they grow more sensitive.

As you exercise your spiritual senses, they grow more sensitive. Your spiritual senses grow to know God’s voice better as you continue to spend time with God.

Jesus Authors Faith

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith ~ Hebrews 12:2a Berean Study Bible

Fix your spiritual eyes on Jesus. Direct your will to follow His will.

In the parable of the sower, God sows the Seed. The Seed is the Word, which is God’s spoken Word. Jesus is the Logos, the spoken Word of God by Whom God created the universe. Jesus authors your faith. That’s why faith has such authority.

Faith is Substance and Evidence

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

Faith is a substance. And yet, it’s not a material substance. The substance of faith is real. It’s much more real than the material world of creation. Faith is a spiritual substance that will never be destroyed. Any material substance will pass away. Faith is reality as opposed to an idea or concept. God is working to put this spiritual substance into you permanently. You can’t separate the substance of faith from Christ Himself.

Faith is the reality of things hoped for. This hope isn’t “I-hope-so” hope. God’s hope is eternal. God’s hope is solid. God’s hope is a vision from God of what He’s going to do. It shows you who you are in Christ. This vision from God shows how you fit into the body of Christ. It shows you what is and isn’t part of the body of Christ. It shows you what God is calling you to do right now.

Faith Can Be a Fruit

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith ~ Galatians 5:22 King James Version

Faith is also a fruit of the Spirit. That fruit sprouted up in you by grace, which was through faith, which came when God spoke to you. And yet, the fruit that springs up in you includes faith. God is giving you a second round of faith when the fruit of faith comes by grace through faith. You might have to ask the Holy Spirit to show you how that works before you can understand it.

Faith Can Be a Gift

Now there are different gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different ministries, but the same Lord. And there are different activities, but the same God works all of them in each person. A manifestation of the Spirit is given to each person for the common good: to one is given a message of wisdom through the Spirit, to another, a message of knowledge by the same Spirit, to another, faith by the same Spirit, to another, gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another, the performing of miracles, to another, prophecy, to another, distinguishing between spirits, to another, different kinds of tongues, to another, interpretation of tongues. One and the same Spirit is active in all these, distributing to each person as he wills. ~ 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 Christian Standard Bible

God also gives a special gift of faith to some. This gift of faith operates in them only at the command of God. These people with the gift of faith aren’t free to direct this faith as they want. God always moves first for any faith, including the gift of faith. Never forget. God speaks. You hear. Faith comes. That’s why faith has power.

Faith by Hearing

If faith comes as a fruit of the Spirit, it comes by hearing. If faith comes as a gift of the Spirit, it comes by hearing. The faith to be born again comes by hearing. Any faith you have comes by hearing God leading, teaching, or correcting you. God can speak to you through the Bible. As God speaks through the Bible, He tells you about many of the other ways He speaks to you. No matter how God speaks to you, God’s faith will come if you listen.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by God speaking. … If you call to Him, He’ll answer you. If you yield yourself to His will, you’ll find He’s been there all along.
