The Word of God puts so much focus on the subject of faith that we need to realize "faith" is the solution to overcoming sin, Satan, the carnal world system and the sin nature that haunts all of us.
Faith is the "victory" that overcomes the world. Without faith it is impossible to please God.
So what is the bottom line? How do I exercise this faith?
Faith is a choice. We need to choose to mix faith with the Word of God. When we discover a wonderful promise in God's word we need to mix faith with that word so that we can experience the "essense or reality" of that word.
Here is a great example. One night I was lying in bed and the Word of the Lord came into my heart and mind. "You are in Christ. Christ is in you." When this Word entered my heart and mind the "reality" of its truth hit me. I really am in Christ. He really is in me. The power and presence of the Lord came upon me in such a way that it saturated the whole of my being in the Glory of God.
Now, the Holy Spirit is teaching me that "exercising faith" in the Word of God is the only way in which I will be able to maintain constant spiritual victory in Christ.
As we exercise faith in the Truth of God's Words we enter into the "reality" of His words. I am telling you this is the solution to overcoming our own carnal nature. Enter into God's Righteousness by faith. Enter into God Realm by faith. Be filled with the Holy Spirit by faith. Then, the faith of God will begin to fill your heart and you will begin in earnest the transformation process. God will do the work. He will fill you with the Mind of Christ. He will fill you with His Holy Spirit.
Now His faith will begin to operate in you and His gifts will begin to flow through you.
