Faith Understands                       February 4, 2018

 

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

2 Corinthians 5:7  (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

You’ve heard of ‘blind faith’, so not true because nothing compares to faith’s vision. Faith sees with God’s eyes. Your life lives by the faith of the Son of God. Faith sees beyond the temporal moment into eternity. You walk in the boldness of the love of God, His desire, His passion. We are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us. Christ in you, the hope of glory. Faith is more than seeing, its beyond knowing. By grace through the power of the Holy Ghost. Surrender your mind and believe the word of God for everything – walk in full understanding. Have the mind of the all knowing, understanding mind of Christ. Enlightened eyes of understanding. You don’t just see glory, you get glory. Understanding the deep things of God. How many times have we said, “I don’t understand”? We don’t have to. Faith gives me understanding in all things. What does Jesus not understand? Job in the trial he faced used the word understanding 17 times. 17 = victory. The man with understanding hearkens to the word of God. The number one user of the word understanding is Solomon (the wisest man). Don’t be foolish, go in the way of understanding. Those that have understanding are happy.

Proverbs 16:22  Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it:

Wellspring of life = fountain of joy. To know the love of Christ. The Spirit will guide you into all truth – knowing the ways of God. Understanding God’s calling on your life. To win Him.

Ephesians 1:18  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling,

The high calling of God in Christ Jesus. It takes time. True love waits – patience. God sent His word and He will perform it. He chose the weak and despised. He will magnify His grace. Know your calling, understand the exceeding greatness of His power, that He will do it. Faith changes everything. From complete defeat to total victory. This flesh is weak but the spirit is willing. Give our time and attention to understand all the word of God.

Psalms 119:99  I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

See all your life through the word of God; triumphs and failures. It didn’t have to be, but it had to be. I would never know my need if I didn’t have failures. Faith knows yea, the deep things. Faith sees God’s plan. Faith sees the trials working together for my good. Faith sees the perfection in all my imperfections. He made me for Him. He is faithful in every moment of my life. My faith, that He has given me, sees me meeting Him in the air. Glorified together with Him!
