From a Carnal Mind to Spiritual Mind Part Two

My last post described some evidences of humanism disguised as faith doctrine. In this post, I would like to offer some evidences of someone who is truly walking with the Lord. I pray that these virtues draw you to dig deeper into your relationship with God. His benefits are manifold, His ways are higher than anything you can face, I pray you are blessed as you read and do what the Word of God prompts you to do.

Faith is not only a declaration of dependence; it is also a vow of allegiance.

Faith is not only a declaration of dependence.

Believers can find themselves void of a divinely healed life if they are limiting their faith to trusting God who is The Great Physician. In fact, God requires that we obey Him (John 14:15; Deut 11:1)By doing what The Doctor has prescribed, we prove the trust that we say that we have in God. For no physician will long care for a patient who refuses to obey his orders, some were healed and went their own way.

Faith is the self-surrender to the Great Physician and leaving or case in His hands. But it is also the taking of prescriptions and the active following of His directions that allows for manifestations of His promises. This applies in every area of life. Faith is the dedication in your walk with God that you can’t allow anyone, any doctrine or bad thing in your life to weaken.

Faith is more than a belief and trust. It is the action of the soul going out toward the object of apprehension. (Heb 11:1) The Holy Spirit gives you direction on how to be lead. It is the exercised of a spiritual faculty akin to that of sight. It establishes a personal relationship between the one who exercises faith and one who exercises faith and the object of faith.

When the intellectual feature predominates, we call it belief. When the emotional element predominates, we call it trust. When we say that we will trust in the Lord, we are really saying is, “When I feel Him moving I know He’s there.”

Faith  is an affirmation and an act which binds the eternal Christ in the believer to the truth.  It eliminates the need for so many opinions and pros and cons in order to make critical decisions. The glory of Christ is in us. Hope is accomplished by the predetermined will of God. Christ would become the author and developer of our faith.

There is a prescription that I want to share in my next post about the process that is needed in order to really walk by faith with God results.

Talk to you soon,
