Pst Chris says

There’s something profound about faith that needs to be clearly understood. Faith can be “seen,” howbeit, not with the optical eyes; it’s seen in the spirit. The definition of faith as read in Hebrews 11:1 is an explanation as God, by the Spirit,presents it to man. In the spirit, it’s not put in those words because faith is of the spirit and can be “seen” in the spirit.

Take for example in Mark chapter two when Jesus was in a house teaching and the Bible says the place became packed with people that there was no space left, not even near the door.Attempting to press through that crowd were four men, carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. But due to the large crowd,they couldn’t get through the door to where Jesus was and so decided to go up to the roof, dug through it, and lowered the paralyzed man down on his mat, right in front of Jesus. The Bible says, “When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son,thy sins be forgiven thee” (Mark 2:5).

Jesus “saw” their faith; how? In their action! Paul had a similar experience in Lystra with a certain man who was crippled from birth and had never walked. The Bible says, “The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked” (Acts 14:9-10).

Notice the Word “perceiving”; it actually means “seeing”;Paul “saw” the man’s faith in the way he listened and received the Word.The Complete Jewish Bible actually says, Paul, “…looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet!” He jumped up and began to walk” (Acts 14:9-10 CJB).

Faith is seen in your words, actions, and even your disposition. Faith is not passive or docile; you prove your faith by your actions. That’s why the Bible says, “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” (James 2:17). Faith isn’t a response of the brain or of the mind; it’s the response of your spirit to God’s Word. Hallelujah!

Heavenly Father,

I come to You in humility and repentance, acknowledging my sins and my need for Your grace. Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I confess You as my Savior and Lord.

Forgive me, cleanse me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I turn away from my sinful ways and open my heart to You. Take control of my life and guide me in Your truth.
