True FAITH is an intentional decision to lose REASONable CONTROL of your own preferred CHOICES to God’s authentic supernatural demand. Truly faithful servants of Christ lose CONTROL of personal preferences to DIVINE demands, to serve purposes higher than them self-centered selves.
Nobody is living by FAITH without having to practice stuff that makes him/her feel like he/she lost own mind.
Abram was asked to travel away from own close relatives and culture to an unknown destination. Abram was asked to kill/sacrifice a much-loved son. Noah accepted to be antisocial, demanding for fellow citizens to build an ark that made no sense to the sensible. Elijah allowed himself to be a one-man opposition party to redirect dictatorial kings and demonic worshipers and priests of his queen. Paul the Apostle abandoned the prestigious life of iconic achievements to endure unbefitting, ridiculous, situations and circumstances.
There is no way true faith is about how much you can COMMAND JESUS or God to fulfill your personal physical biddings. True faith has zero to do with your commitment to physical gathering where ridiculous “prayer points” are issued to seek evil against your “enemies.”
True FAITH is in how you SUBMIT to the supernatural need of converting physical impossibilities into spiritually required and God-demanded REALITIES.
In case you have been fooled, learn this, true faith is extremely rare to find today. You may be an ardent believer of spiritual RULES and REGULATIONS and yet have ZERO faith.
Having strong spiritual beliefs IS NOT faith. You are NOT in faith until you put your beliefs into physical existence so other people can ENJOY fruits of your spiritual principles.
True faith would seek to create JUSTICE in places where it no longer exists. True FAITH would teach and practice ORDER in the faces of a disorderly society. True FAITH would take steps to restore ungodly people back to Godliness, WITHOUT condemning them, nor sentencing them to eternal damnation.
True Faith tries to reawaken spiritual consciousness in those whose hearts have been seared by corrupt upbringing. True faith does NOT stay aloof and away from worldly rottenness, it rather dirties itself by putting all hands on deck to SAVE as many souls out of waywardness, as much as is possible.
True FAITH is NOT a fight to impose personal doctrinal orientation, or mundane cultural indoctrination, on others who have been misdirected. True faith is how you RE-DIRECT your misdirected city, nation, community, or culture, through a DECENT sense of LOVE and humility.
JESUS did NOT come to save you so you can live a physically convenient and comfortable life. He came to show us an example of how we could live by FAITH and become examples of spiritual order, decency, beauty, organization, care, and concern towards next human beings around us, in each of our societies.
Well, you cannot say you did NOT know better NOW! Following doggedly in the locked footsteps of your celebrity “church” leader and idol IS NOT true faith.
Your willing DECISION to practice your Godly beliefs, come rain or sunshine, is the real-deal-FAITH that JESUS requires from YOU. True FAITH is how you, YOU, you, bring heaven culture down to bear in your sphere of influence.
True FAITH is exhibited by your practice of JESUS PRINCIPLES, JESUS NATURE and JESUS VALUES.
SELAH!
My life is hidden in Christ JESUS and in HIS mercies. Without Him I can do nothing. He is my fortress and my securing haven! Amen & amen!
