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.

The Church is a body yielded to Christ in unity

The Church is a body yielded to Christ in unity

The Church is a yielded body to a Headship centered in the Originator of the whole redemptive structure; not a people with as many plans as physical members. ~ Herrick Holt

For context, here are some quotes from the same article:
Not likely men will be ready for the coming together of the Body of Christ, a happening of staggering import.
The incarnation is to bring into being a new seed, an entire change, a transformation of the human race.
You can’t have grace and truth without Jesus being present.
It is impossible to develop what God is through with, namely, your old man.
What God started in 1948 isn’t the end but the beginning of the end.
The coming together has been taught at length, but someday the Body of Christ will appear in a glory well described.
One could be bogged down on any teaching when he has lost sight of the Teacher.
Everything to do with redemption is totally outside of human ability. It is the administration of the power of God by the power of God.
Once you become protective of your snug position, endeavoring to cradle the light you have, death sets in.
Whatever ground our spiritual fathers gained in ages past were but stepping stones for us to ever walk upward and onward.
There comes an end to going around the mountain.
Today, we stand on the edge of resurrection life.
Anything you can rationalize concerning divine experience, it is not likely to be divine.
By the Grace and Truth of God, we all can have the indwelling Christ of the resurrection.
Christ in you in not the same as you in Christ.
The earthly man wants to be someone and will kill himself to be first.
Jesus abased Himself to demonstrate where greatness lies.
Jesus teaches not self-assertiveness but self-negation.
The demagogic, self-assertive, dominating, dogmatic, egotistic, and arrogant belong to the kingdom of power that constantly demonstrates the big “I.”
The virtuous Kingdom of God demonstrates the gospel of love in abasing themselves.
The highest gift is humility that can out-power any force of Satan.
You can walk the life of Christ indwelling you, the life of the resurrection that is beyond the power of the natural, or resort to living after your former life.
Separation [from the world] is not human effort but God’s finger changing the clay by His powerful hands.
Being led by the Holy Spirit is the norm for those whom Christ has indwelt.
Humility in the ministry God has given you in the place in His body, the Church, becomes the coveted holding.
You minister in all humility by the gift of the Spirit.

Now, the indwelling Christ wants total surrender and total submission to set in motion all He has purchased for you.
An indwelling Lord is the most real experience in human experience.

To enjoy the life in the Indwelling Son requires submission completely to the Spirit of God who has come to make you His house.

Assumptions are not premises

God is logical and the originator of all rational thought. Perhaps the most important thing to know about logic is this: Observation + assumption = assumption. Ye shall not add unto the word (a sentence, statement, or word spoken) which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. (Deuteronomy 4:2) God leads. God gives the interpretation of Scripture. Do not depend on your own assumptions or the assumptions of intellectuals and personalities of the present or the future.

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 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.

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.

THE GREAT MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION IS CHRIST IN YOU.

THE GREAT MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION IS CHRIST IN YOU.

THE GREAT MYSTERY OF REDEMPTION IS CHRIST IN YOU. ~ Herrick Holt

INSUBORDINATION BRINGS POVERY: Insubordination simply means not subordinate, not obedient, not submitting to authority. Any act that challenges God’s authority on any level is insubordination. Today, egoism is the in thing. The media has blown up the image of man and made superstars of human trash. The unchangeable God has established unchangeable authority. Because men follow the way of Satan, violence fills this present day. It will grow worse as we approach the end of this age.

There can be no profaning the unchangeable authority of God wherever it is established in ministries. A man walking under God’s direction, saying and doing God’s commands, becomes God’s responsibility. To know one after the human is entirely different than knowing after the Spirit. The structure of ministry in the church is somewhat like the anatomy, an infinity of member of interrelated parts.

The Church, as God designed it, should carry absolute authority. When God speaks, you will hear absolute authority. When God speaks, His words are in the absolute. Authority in the absolute comes from God through the Son and is ministered by the Holy Spirit. God’s earthly plan never goes awry. The voice of authority, if it is of God, cannot fail. God may use a man, but a man must have God’s ability. No one can live a spiritual life without Christ indwelling and His life becoming theirs. The more yielded man becomes, the more he will hear the voice of the absolute. The Church is the only place this absolute authority is functioning.
The corporate design of the Body of Christ has God-defined gifts and ministries to receive this [absolute] authority.

The authority of God that comes by the gift places a limitation by the ministry. Every ministry has its limitation because it is dependent, not independent. In the body of Christ, there is no such ministry as an independent one.

LESSONS ALL MUST LEARN: God’s authority must be obeyed unreservedly. When there is a “thus saith the Lord,” it must come to pass. When He speaks, worlds shake.

When there is a “thus saith the Lord,” it must come to pass. When He speaks, worlds shake. You must accept, in the church, delegated authority; authority of your earthly husband and father as the family head; elders, or fathers, of the church are given authority to rule over the flock of God.
God always gives a gift and then a ministry before an office appointment.
Humility must dominate any man in divine position.
The church will carry unchanging authority so its government must be according to the pattern of God.
It is absolutely necessary to know how to be under authority. Sons of God are those who know the power of obeying.
Parental authority molds a child’s thinking and stabilizes its character.
There are no options for parents whether they correct a child. Failure here will produce a bewildered human being.
The sons of God have learned the secret of obeying.
Delegated authority is often rejected because the individual is seen and not the delegated authority.
Husbands are part of the delegated system of authority. They are not easily seen in this position.
The demands upon a husband relative to headship are exhausting until he learns to obey the authority of God.
Some husbands never yield to God, so they develop a carnal authority. This is devastating and keeps a union in turmoil.
True authority comes from God and is hindered by carnal mixture.
Carnal authority is ever changing, unstable with a limited foresight. Not so with divine authority.
A husband can appreciate the position of his wife submitting when he submits to his local elders.
Authority in isolation is powerless. The corporate design of the Body of Christ has divine muscle to rule with dignity and righteousness so that equity can cover the earth in judgment.

Some theologians have assumed that this refers to the Bible, and they go further to say the Bible wasn’t complete, but now it is complete. They take this out of context. We will know even as we are known. Known by Whom? By God? Yes. Who else? Satan? Your Aunt Millie? Of course, Paul is referring to God. So we will know as God knows us. That is the completeness that’s mentioned when it says “that which is perfect is come.” We certainly don’t have complete knowledge from reading the Bible. If we did, no one would disagree on the interpretation of the Bible. Theologians often stretch the Bible to fit their theologies, and they deceive many.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Key #3: Faith Gives Access to Grace

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

(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)

Faith is the evidence of things you haven’t ever seen.

Faith is the evidence of things you haven't ever seen.

Faith is the evidence of things you have never seen.

(Quote from https://realreality.org/downloads/how-god-will-transform-you/)

 

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 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 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.

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.

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.
