Walking in victory and living in the promises of faith

God has created and given us a key and a guide to walking in victory and living in the promises of His awesome pleasure as His children.  The key is “Faith” while the guide is His “Bible”.  What does it mean to walk in “Faith”? It is radically different than walking by sight, reason, emotions, or intellect.  As Christians we are called to live above these things.  Walking in “Faith” enables us to enter the realm of Gods supernatural possibilities because Jesus said in Mark 9:23, “All things are possible to him who believes.”  The very aspect of “Faith” is almost impossible to wrap our heads around.  The simple fact that God would allow us to dwell and work in His supernatural is hard for our minds to grasp.  What are the principles of “Faith” that are outlined in the Bible?  First, it is not rooted in the human fleshly element.  Second, it is rooted in God’s unlimited power and unchanging Word.  Third, walking by “Faith” requires personal action.  What should your first step of “Faith” be if you really want to take action?  Allow the Lord to talk to you through His Word, and then be obedient to His call, and follow His divine direction.  The moment you truly act, your “Faith” will spring to life inviting the Lord to move within you.  Even if you don’t feel like inviting the Lord in, do it.  There are God given rewards waiting for you.  Hebrews 11:16, But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.  God’s word and “Faith” are woven together.  The more you study and learn His word, the more your spirit is locked up with your flesh in the belief that God will always have your best interests in mind. The Lord wants you to walk in victory and in His unchanging goodness.  God is the same today as He was in the beginning.  God never changes, we do.  Walk in victory and His unchanging goodness and love.
