In the gospel of Mark Jesus says, "Have the faith of God". This is the Greek rendering of the sentence. It literally is saying that we should, "Have God's Faith". God has dealt to every man a measure of faith. Wow! In our spirit we can grasp this "reality" but the natural or carnal nature of man cannot understand this. Through Christ and the Holy Spirit dwelling within our hearts we have access to the very "faith" of God.
I was thinking of the Bible phase "Your life is hid with Christ in God." What an amazing statement. It is not about us or our failures and inadequacies. Rather, it is about the Grace of God at work with in us through faith in the word of God. You are "in Christ" and "Christ is in you". The word Christ means "anointed one".
So we could read it this way. You are in the Anointed One and the Anointed One is in you. Christ is the Anointed One and He was given the Holy Spirit without measure. This means the fullest measure of the Holy Spirit was given to Jesus and that in Him we have access to this fullest measure of the Holy Spirit as well. This is why Jesus said, "He who believes in Me the works that I do shall he do also and greater works than these shall he do." This would include all kinds of miracles, signs, wonders, healings and deliverances. I really believe that I am in Christ and He is in me.
I am hungry for more of God's fullness in my life. I am exercising "faith" in the Word of Truth. He is taking me into His Glory and instructing me in His Ways. He is showing me that He is going to visit the earth in great glory through His church. There will be signs, wonders and miracles, healings and deliverances such as we have never seen in our life times. This He will do through His people who are hungry for His Righteousness and passionate to Honor Him by their obedience to the Holy Spirit.
