Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1, NLT
My pastor preached an awesome message on last night entitled, “Living in the Unseen.” Some messages that we hear are truly transformational and cause us to experience spiritual growth and abound to new levels in God.
Faith is a topic that I talk about often and one that is very familiar to the child of God. The word of God tells us in Romans 1:17:
This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.
It is by faith that we are declared righteous in the eyesight of God. Faith is so detrimental to our relationship with God that the Word of God warns the believer:
And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.
There is no way for the child of God to access all that God has without faith. It is impossible for the believer to experience God’s abundance if he does not learn how to live by faith!
God has given each and every one of us a measure of faith (Romans 12:3). With this knowledge, we understand that it then becomes our responsibility to exercise the faith that God has freely given us.
God has given all of us the ability to live an abundant life. The difference between those of us who do and those who don’t is faith. Do you believe God enough to live in the unseen? Do you have to first see in order to believe? The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:7:
For we live by believing and not by seeing.
Are you living today by what you believe or by what you see? If you are not living your life by faith, I am here to tell you that there are many things that God has for you that you will never access!
Consider this scripture:
That is what the Scriptures mean when they say,
“No eye has seen, no ear has heard,
and no mind has imagined
what God has prepared
for those who love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9, NLT
The only way to access these unseen, unheard of and unimaginable things is by tapping into them through your faith!
I encourage you to seek God and ask Him to teach you how to access the faith that He has made readily available to you and me. God wants us to live in His overflow, but we can only do that by living a life full of faith!
