We have all been born that way: in sin. God’s plan is to set us free from all disorders, lies, and rebellion.

Now, as you receive the Seed (the Word, Jesus) from the Sower, two things happen. Christ is built up within you, and your rebellious fleshly nature has less power over you. (see Galatians 4:19)

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by God speaking. … Human emotion will bring you into illusion and confusion but won’t bring you the faith of God.

Human emotion will bring you into illusion and confusion but won’t bring you the faith of God. Physical evidence and logical arguments won’t create the faith of God in you. A rationalized, make-believe “faith” has no power, but the faith of God has power and authority. No amount of human effort will bring you the faith of God.

You must stand in the presence of God if you want the faith of God. By intuition, you know how to turn your will and mind toward God. 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. As you do this, you exercise your spiritual senses. 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.

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.

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.

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)

God leads you. He can speak to you through His creation. He leads you through the Bible. He leads you through a Christian brother or sister who speaks by the Holy Spirit. He may speak through a dream, vision, or intuition. Faith comes when He leads and you hear. Faith allows you to move in the power of God’s grace. It allows God to move through you by His grace.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God ~ Ephesians 2:8 Berean Study Bible

You are saved from sin and to righteousness. Ephesians 2:8 says you’re saved by grace and grace is through faith. You know where faith comes from. I’ll repeat it since so many have come up with a different definition of faith. Your faith comes when you hear God leading, teaching, and correcting you. It’s not really your faith then. It’s God’s faith in you. That’s why it can do God’s work through you.

It is possible to lift a person to the level on which we stand but no higher. ~ Herrick Holt

It is possible to be caught with ceremony today and lose Jesus.
Many remember former days of outpouring and glory, but today they seek another Jesus.
All you can produce by the flesh is flesh. Though you live a thousand years, you can never produce anything but flesh.
Thousands have given their hearts to Jesus and shared in the glory of another age, but their minds are their own. This is one realm they keep.
Once you have shared in this new life of the blood of Christ, God will make available His Spirit to empower you.
Imparted wisdom is not the product of your mind but God’s.
The surrender of your mind will make you available for the Spirit to impart to you the wisdom of God.

Let those words burn in our hearts! “Created in Christ Jesus unto good works.” Not ours! But His! Charles S. Price

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.

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.

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)

God leads you. He can speak to you through His creation. He leads you through the Bible. He leads you through a Christian brother or sister who speaks by the Holy Spirit. He may speak through a dream, vision, or intuition. Faith comes when He leads and you hear. Faith allows you to move in the power of God’s grace. It allows God to move through you by His grace.

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God ~ Ephesians 2:8 Berean Study Bible

You are saved from sin and to righteousness. Ephesians 2:8 says you’re saved by grace and grace is through faith. You know where faith comes from. I’ll repeat it since so many have come up with a different definition of faith. Your faith comes when you hear God leading, teaching, and correcting you. It’s not really your faith then. It’s God’s faith in you. That’s why it can do God’s work through you.

Means of Grace

Different groups believe different teachings about the means of grace, and they aren’t all wrong. When you look at it from another angle, you find faith is the means of grace

Works Spring From Grace—Not the Other Way Around

There’s no conflict. Works don’t conflict with grace. Works spring from grace. I’ll repeat it once more. God speaks. God gives you faith. Faith accesses grace. Grace does the works. Your part is to stop fighting against God as He does all of this in and through you.

The means is the cause. It’s easy to confuse the cause and effect, but the elements are there. Everything starts with God leading. You acknowledge God in deep respect. You honor Him and thank Him. Then God gives you faith, and faith brings you to God’s grace. That’s true of every case you just looked at. It’s true of the Gospel, the Law, communion, baptism, prayer, fasting, seeking the face of God, and any work God does through you as a result of His leading, faith, and grace.

Satan’s Tricks

Satan will tell you grace is something grace is not. Satan will say grace is just God pardoning your sins. Satan will say God’s grace means you can do whatever you want and it makes no difference.

Satan will try to convince you that you can get grace some other way than through faith. Satan will say you have to do works of piety to get grace. Satan will try to make grace into less than it is. Satan will try to get you to believe grace doesn’t give you divine power and authority for righteousness and warfare against powers of darkness. Satan has a lot of lies to tell you about grace.

Another Jesus by H. Holt

God waits for your willing submission.

All God asks of you is to receive Him, to yield to Him. He speaks to you, and you listen. God gives you His faith, and you receive it. He gives you a vision of hope, and you accept it. In God’s vision of hope, He shows you who you are in Christ, who your brothers and sisters are in Christ, how we all fit together into one body, and what you are to do or say right now. Then, the grace of God comes to you through the faith God gave you and does God’s works through you if you will yield your mouth, hands, and feet to His righteousness. That’s how God plants the Good Seed of His Word, His Christ, into your heart from moment to moment, and God’s Spirit causes you to grow in Christ. The Holy Spirit causes you to live to Christ and die to your old fleshly nature.

When we see the Lord, the fleshly veil is taken away from our faces so we can see reality as it really is. As we all behold the glory of the Lord as if looking into a mirror with the fleshly veil taken away from our faces, we’re transfigured into the same image from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by God speaking. … If it’s your faith, you worked it up yourself.

You need God’s faith.

If it’s your faith, you worked it up yourself. You need God’s faith.

If you think you can have the faith of God by human willpower, you are mistaken. You must seek God and stay in His presence. Shouting affirmations won’t bring you the faith of God. Intellectual gymnastics will bring you into error and self-righteousness, but it won’t give you the faith of God. Human emotion will bring you into illusion and confusion but won’t bring you the faith of God. Physical evidence and logical arguments won’t create the faith of God in you. A rationalized, make-believe “faith” has no power, but the faith of God has power and authority. No amount of human effort will bring you the faith of God.

You must stand in the presence of God if you want the faith of God. By intuition, you know how to turn your will and mind toward God. 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. As you do this, you exercise your spiritual senses. 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.

The surrender of your mind will make you available for the Spirit to impart to you the wisdom of God.

Another Jesus by H. Holt

When God speaks, He is planting the Seed of His Word in you, but He won’t force Himself on you.
