Inspirations of Life in Faith

Knowledge of the truth that is solely found in God’s Word gives and yields faith. Faith is, however, believing something based on promptings by the Spirit of God, thus requiring something to believe. The New-Age movement believes that we can believe things into existence, which is not the same kind of faith that we believers should have or dwell on. Our faith is based upon the truth in God’s Word. Thus, knowing what God’s Word has to say about something gives us the ability to believe it. Putting Christ as the basis of our faith that will eventually yield results. Our faith should be based upon God’s Word. Inspirations of Life in Faith is a compilation of models that build a strong base for a Christian life. As that will be happening, there is evidence of fruits and personal growth in Christ’s hope of glory. For example, how can you have faith to pray for healing, believing that God will heal you, if you didn’t know it was God’s will for you to heal? Isaiah 53: 5, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”This is why Satan works so hard to tell the church today that it may not be God’s will for them to be healed. Why? Because it casts doubt, the opposite of faith, upon the hearts of God’s children. (Where there is no doubt, it is hard for the devil to function.) Furthermore, how can we receive the promises of God if we don’t know what they are? We must first know the truth (God operates in truth always) and then believe it. That is biblical faith. Mark 9: 23: “Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” We have to believe and trust the Word of God. Jesus told his disciples that all things (referring to the promises of God) are possible for them who trust God. You cannot have a successful Christian life without fully trusting in Jesus. How can you believe something that nobody told you? You cannot. It is important to know what the Word of God has to say, has said, and is saying so that we can believe it. Faith comes by hearing God’s Word.Romans 10: 17: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” I do pray that this publication will not only minister to you but also inspire you to new heights in your walk with the Lord. Amen.With love, Nomusa Buleni
