God Kind Of Faith

For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment......Luke 1:37 (Amplified Bible)

God is not limited like man. We cannot even  fully understand the fact that He is God because we're limited in faith.God is not a man, that He should lie,Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?You only have faith for what you have heard, because faith comes by hearing and by hearing the word of God only. You cannot have faith for what you havent heard.Thats why its necessary to hear the word of God everyday.Its for the growth of your faith espercially in these last days when the word of God says faith will grow cold for many believers.

God's Faith: The Faith that the Holy Spirit imparts as a result of His pure and perfect Word is the Faith of God, or the God kind of Faith. This kind of faith comes from (Prov 3:8)  trusting in the Lord with all your heart, and leaning not on your own understanding.God has complete confidence in Himself. He is certain concerning His Word and His ability. Unlike man, God does not even remotely consider that He could fail or that He may not be able to accomplish that which He has said He would do. He wants His children to have that same confidence in Him that He has in Himself. Yet, even if we don't, God will continue on with His plan. We see that God cannot deny Himself from  2 Timothy 2:11-13: This is a faithful saying:

For if we died with Him,We shall also live with Him.If we endure, We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,He also will deny us.  If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.

The ability of God not to deny Himself is Power in Himself because he is God, and He expects us the believers to have that kind of confidence in Him because He is in our Spirit ( John 20:22) .When God says something  into being He considers it Done, nothing less.  The God kind of faith operates in the realm of the spirit. It takes hold of the Word of God in the unseen realm and brings that Word to pass in the natural world. That is the kind of faith God used to bring this earth into existence. It's a powerful force. And when it flows from the hearts and mouths of believers, real spiritual faith changes natural things. Sense-knowledge faith, on the other hand, has no real power. It doesn't change things. On the contrary, natural things change it! Everyone in the world has sense-knowledge faith. They believe certain things just because they can see them, or because they've experienced them. People believe, for example, that when they flip a light switch, the light will come on. They have faith in that process because they've seen it work time and again. But the light switch kind of faith comes strictly from the mind. When you exercise it, your spirit is dormant. Believing only what you can see and feel does not activate your spirit.

God Swears By Himself

When making an oath to Abraham, there was no one else He could swear to. So who did He swear and make His vow  to? Himself. Why did He make this oath confirmation to Himself to keep His promise to Abraham? Because He is the greatest in the universe. He is the creator of the universe. He cannot lie or break a promise. His immutability will not even allow Him to change His mind concerning any promise that He has made. So He could swear to Himself simply because He has complete confidence in His own ability and character.  We see this from Heb 6:13-18 :

For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,  saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute. Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

As Christians we must live our lives by faith. (II Corinthians 5:7) For we walk by faith, not by sight: That means the man of God walks by faith. He doesn't walk by what he sees. He bases his action on the word of God. That is why it is so important to know what the word of God says. God's word says, "While we look not at the things that are seen, but at things that are not seen." Don't look at the cancer or heart disease in the natural. Look at them through God's words. "Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sickness" (Matthew 8:17). Why did He bare them if He wants us to bare them?(I Peter 2:24 ) "by whose stripes you were healed" YOU WERE HEALED, not going to be, you are! You might say, well how come I'm sick? Because you are saying you are sick. The word of God says you are well. But as long as you take sides against the word of God, the word of God can not work on your behalf. When you get in line with the word, by his stripes I was healed, sickness and disease will flee. It will not be able to stay there because the word of God says so.

Acting on God's word will bring the evidence of things hoped for, (our healing, or whatever blessing you are in need of) into the natural world. As Jesus said over and over again to the people He healed, "Your faith has made you whole." Jesus took spiritual gifts from the spirit world into the natural world. Jesus blessed us with all spiritual blessings.
 
How do we know we have God kind of faith?

Would you like to have the God kind of faith, the kind of faith that Jesus had? If you are a believer, if you have been born again, You already have the God kind of faith. "Yes but I don't feel like I have it." It has nothing to do with how you feel. It's so because God said it is so, not because you feel like it.

(Romans 12:3) ... according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

God dealt it to us. We must clarify that Paul didn't mean every man in the world. As he was talking to the church in Rome He meant only the believers in Christ.

(Ephesians 2:8-9) For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.  Not of works, lest any man should boast.You can not work to get this ... it is by His grace.How did you get faith to begin with and if you want more how do you get it? (Romans 10:17) So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. That's how it comes and the only way you'll get it.

Just Remember these points:

1.God speaks things into Existence
2.When He Declares something,He believes it will come to pass because He is God.
3.We have been created in his image/likeness and have His Spirit as believers.
4.We first need to submit to him and seek to do his Will.
5.He authorises us to speak on his behalf and with his authority and decree things into being.

Job 22:28--Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
