WHAT CAN THE SPIRIT OF INDWELLING FAITH EMPOWER YOU TO DO?

“… [One of]…the fruit of the [indwelling] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “… [HE that] dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…The righteous will live by his faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…I will show you MY [INDWELLING SPIRIT OF] FAITH by my deeds (fruit, actions, signs, wonders, miracles, etc.)...” (JAMES 2:18 NIV).

 “… BY FAITH we understand that THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.

It was BY FAITH that Abel brought A MORE ACCEPTABLE OFFERING than Cain did. Abel’s offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by HIS EXAMPLE OF FAITH.

It was BY FAITH that Enoch was TAKEN UP TO HEAVEN WITHOUT DYING—“he disappeared, because God took him.” For before he was taken up, he was known as a person who pleased God.

And it is impossible to please God without [indwelling] faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

 It was BY FAITH that Noah BUILT A LARGE BOAT to save his family from the flood. He obeyed God, who warned him about things that had never happened before. BY HIS FAITH Noah CONDEMNED THE REST OF THE WORLD, and he received the righteousness that comes by faith.

It was BY FAITH that Abraham obeyed when God called him to LEAVE HOME AND GO TO ANOTHER LAND that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there BY FAITH—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise. Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God. 

It was BY FAITH that even SARAH WAS ABLE TO HAVE A CHILD, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise.  And so a whole nation came from this one man who was as good as dead—a nation with so many people that, like the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore, there is no way to count them.

It was BY FAITH that ABRAHAM OFFERED UP ISAAC as a sacrifice when God was testing him. Abraham, who had received God’s promises, was ready to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, even though God had told him, “Isaac is the son through whom your descendants will be counted.”  Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was able to bring him back to life again. And in a sense, Abraham did receive his son back from the dead.  

It was BY FAITH that Isaac PROMISED BLESSINGS FOR THE FUTURE TO HIS SONS, Jacob and Esau. 

It was BY FAITH that Jacob, when he was old and dying, BLESSED EACH OF JOSEPH’S SONS AND BOWED IN WORSHIP AS HE LEANED ON HIS STAFF.

It was BY FAITH that Joseph, when he was about to die, said confidently that THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL WOULD LEAVE EGYPT. He even commanded them to take his bones with them when they left.

It was BY FAITH that Moses’ parents HID HIM FOR THREE MONTHS when he was born. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command.  

It was BY FAITH that Moses, when he grew up, REFUSED TO BE CALLED THE SON OF PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER. He chose to share the oppression of God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin. He thought it was better to suffer for the sake of Christ than to own the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his great reward.  

It was BY FAITH that Moses LEFT THE LAND OF EGYPT, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible.

It was BY FAITH that Moses COMMANDED THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL TO KEEP THE PASSOVER and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons. 

It was BY FAITH that the people of Israel WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE RED SEA as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were all drowned.

It was BY FAITH that the people of Israel MARCHED AROUND JERICHO FOR SEVEN DAYS, and the walls came crashing down.

It was BY FAITH that Rahab the prostitute WAS NOT DESTROYED with the people in her city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.

HOW MUCH MORE DO I NEED TO SAY? It would take too long to recount THE STORIES OF FAITH of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and all the prophets.

BY FAITH these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight. Women received their loved ones back again from death….” (Hebrews 11:1-35 NLT).

Do you have this kind of faith? YES. Where did you get that faith? “…God … dealt (gave) to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). “….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “… [One of]…the fruit of the [new] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…God has given [you] HIS Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT).  “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…The righteous will live by his faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…Christ liveth in [you SO]…live by the faith of the Son of God.   …” (Galatians 2:20 KJV).  “…The righteous will live by his faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB).

God gave you ONE particular instruction on how to exercise that “measure of faith.” What was it?  “…FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD…” (Roman 10:17 KJV). “…The sower SOWETH THE WORD …The seed is the WORD OF GOD ….. THE WORD …was sown in THEIR HEARTS…” (Mark 4:14-15 & Luke 8:11 KJV). “…God … sent forth the Spirit of His Son (the WORD) “INTO” OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT). “…It is the SPIRIT who “GIVES” LIFE; the flesh profits nothing…” (John 6:63 NASB).  “…THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT, and they ARE LIFE…” (John 6:63 KJV). “…FAITH COMETH BY HEARING …THE WORD OF GOD…” (Roman 10:17 KJV).

God demonstrates CONFIDENCE in the POWER of his OWN Word. “…Then God SAID, “Let there be light”; AND THERE WAS LIGHT…” (Genesis 1:3 NASB). “…Then God SAID (God commanded with confidence in his OWN word), “Let there be light” (Jesus, the Word spoke his command); AND THERE WAS LIGHT (The Holy Spirit did what was spoken and commanded)…” (Genesis 1:3 NASB).

“…MY WORD be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it SHALL NOT return unto me void, but it SHALL ACCOMPLISH that which I please, and it SHALL PROSPER in the thing whereto I sent it…” (Isaiah 55:11 KJV). God says, I “…am WATCHING over my word to PERFORM it…” (Jeremiah 1:12 NASB).

God would NOT command and Jesus would NOT speak WITHOUT complete assurance and absolute confidence that the Holy Spirit would do the WORK. “…God is not human “…God is Spirit …Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill…” (Numbers 23:19 NIV & John 4:24 KJV)? “…Not one of all the LORD's good promises … failed; every one was fulfilled” (Joshua 21:45 NIV). “…My counsel (WORD)… SHALL stand, and I will do all my pleasure…” (Isaiah 46:10 KJV).

In Genesis 1:13 the Father’s WORD is witnessed in the POWERFUL work of the Holy Spirit. “…Then God SAID, “Let there be light”; AND THERE WAS LIGHT…” (Genesis 1:3 NASB).

1. “…Then God SAID (God commands with complete assurance and absolute, unwavering confidence in his OWN word). 2. “Let there be light” (Jesus, the Word speaks with complete assurance and absolute, unwavering confidence in God’s word). 3. AND THERE WAS LIGHT (The Holy Spirit does the WORK with complete assurance and absolute unwavering confidence in what was commanded and spoken)…” (Genesis 1:3 NASB).

God has complete, immutable assurance and absolute, unwavering confidence in his OWN WORD. “…MY WORD be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it SHALL NOT return unto me void, but it SHALL ACCOMPLISH that which I please, and it SHALL PROSPER in the thing whereto I sent it…” (Isaiah 55:11 KJV). God says, I “…am WATCHING over my word to PERFORM it…” (Jeremiah 1:12 NASB).

“…FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING … THE WORD OF GOD…” (Roman 10:17 KJV). “…Now FAITH “IS” the substance (assurance, confidence) of things hoped for…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). “…Now FAITH “IS” … the evidence (proof) of things not seen…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).

 Jesus, the Word speaks with complete assurance and absolute, unwavering confidence in God’s word. “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3 KJV). “… AND THERE WAS LIGHT…” Genesis 1:3 KJV). “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…God has given [you] HIS Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT). “… [One of]…the fruit of the [HIS] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).

Therefore, “…The righteous will live by his faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…Christ liveth in [you SO]…live by the faith of the Son of God.   …” (Galatians 2:20 KJV).  

 “…The invisible [Spirit]…from the creation of the world …is CLEARLY SEEN, being understood by the things that are MADE …” (Romans 1:20 KJV).

“…AND GOD SAID, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters…” (Genesis 1:6 KJV).

“…AND GOD SAID, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so…” (Genesis 1:9 KJV).

“…AND GOD SAID, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so…” (Genesis 1:11 KJV).

“…AND GOD SAID, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years…” (Genesis 1:14 KJV).

 “… BY FAITH we understand that THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.” (Hebrews 11 NLT). “…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ….And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good…” (Genesis 1:1, 31 KJV).

The indwelling Spirit of faith works in you (indwelling presence), through you (empowering actions), and for you (signs, wonders, and miracles). “…God has given [you] HIS Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT). “… [One of]…the fruit of the [HIS] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).

The Spirit of indwelling faith is a GIFT. “…You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit….” (Acts 2:38 NASB). “… It is … Holy Spirit who gives all these gifts and POWERS… (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).  “….every good gift and every perfect gift … cometh down from the Father of lights…..” (James 1:17 KJV).“…The LORD SHALL GIVE that which is good…” (Psalms 85:12 KJV). “…A man can receive nothing, except it BE GIVEN him from heaven…” (John 3:27 KJV). “…What do you have that God hasn’t given you?” (1 Corinthians 4:7 NLT). “… [One of]…the fruit of the [HIS] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “… [The GIFT is]… NOT OF YOURSELVES, … not of works, that no man should glory…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).

“…The righteous will live by his [gift of] faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…Christ liveth in [you SO]…live by the [indwelling gift of] faith of the Son of God.   …” (Galatians 2:20 KJV).  

“…It was BY FAITH that Abel BROUGHT(empowered actions) A MORE ACCEPTABLE OFFERING than Cain did. Abel’s offering gave EVIDENCE that he was a righteous man (signs, wonders and miracles), and God SHOWED his approval of his gifts (proof of God’s presence). Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by HIS EXAMPLE OF FAITH…” (Hebrews 11 NLT).

The Spirit of indwelling faith empowers you to do something that you CANNOT do on your own. “…It was BY FAITH that Abel BROUGHT(empowered actions) …” (Hebrews 11 NLT).

And what you do is EVIDENCE that the Spirit of faith is working through you. “…It was BY FAITH that …Abel’s offering gave EVIDENCE that he was a righteous man (signs, wonders and miracles)…” (Hebrews 11 NLT).

Manifested PROOF of God’s presence is “always” the WITNESSED.“…It was BY FAITH that Abel brought … [and] God SHOWED his approval of his gifts (proof of God’s presence)…” (Hebrews 11 NLT).

 “… [One of]…the fruit of the [HIS] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…[God GAVE you] the measure of faith…” is a gift (Romans 12:3). “For by grace are ye SAVED THROUGH FAITH; and that NOT of yourselves: IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD...” (EPHESIANS 2:8-9 KJV).

Let’s look at how the Spirit of indwelling faith works “IN”, “THROUGH, and “FOR” salvation.

First, the Spirit of faith empowers salvation. “….The gospel of Christ (the WORD) …. is THE [invisible[… POWER of God unto SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH (accepts)…” (Romans 1:16 KJV).

The Spirit of faith is witnessed through salvation. Spiritual fruit is the witness of that salvation. “… [One of]…the fruit of [HIS] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…Ye shall know them by their fruits…” (Matthew 7:16 KJV). “…But the fruit of the [invisible]… Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, FAITH, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "…My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so PROVE to be My disciples” (John 15:8 NIV). “…the Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT).

The Spirit of faith works for salvation. Manifested PROOF of God’s presence is “always” WITNESSED. “…To the saints …who are faithful “in” Christ Jesus: …Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, WHO HAS BLESSED US with “EVERY” SPIRITUAL BLESSING in the heavenly …In Him also we have OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, …” (Ephesians 1 NLT).

Eternal life will be the culmination of the Spirit of faith that worked IN, THROUGH, and FOR the saved. “…The GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ ….” (Romans 6:23 KJV). "… the righteous [will inherit] eternal life…" (Matthew 25:46 NIV).  “….And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life…” (Daniel 12:2 KJV).

Is the “measure of faith” or “spirit of faith” depended upon how you FEEL, your EMOTIONS, or God’s truth? “…God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). “…FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD…” (Roman 10:17 KJV).

If the Spirit of indwelling faith HEARS the Word of God, it doesn’t matter HOW you FEEL. Faith COMES when it hears the WORD of GOD. “…FAITH COMETH BY HEARING …” (Roman 10:17 KJV).

Whether you feel it or not; use it or not; you ALWAYS have your “measure of faith”  or “spirit of faith.”  “…God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). “… [One of]…the fruit of the Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). ^“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).

The Spirit of indwelling faith is a dependable, GIFTED provision from God “…I will supply ALL your NEED…” (John 12:32 & Philippians 4:19 KJV). “…God hath dealt to every man the measure of FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV).  “…FAITH is the substance (reality, assurance, certainty) of things hoped for, the evidence (Proof) of things not seen…” (Hebrew 11:1 KJV). “…FAITH COMETH by hearing …the word of God” (Romans 10:17 KJV). “…The sower SOWETH THE WORD …The seed is the WORD OF GOD ….. THE WORD …was sown in THEIR HEARTS…” (Mark 4:14-15 & Luke 8:11 KJV). “…THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT, and they ARE LIFE…” (John 6:63 KJV). “…It is the SPIRIT who “GIVES” LIFE; the flesh profits nothing…” (John 6:63 NASB).  “…the Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT). “…FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD…” (Romans 10:17 KJV).

The Christian journey is a walk of faith. “…walk BY [HIS] FAITH...” (2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV). “…The righteous will live by his faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…Christ liveth in [you SO]…live by the faith of the Son of God.   …” (Galatians 2:20 KJV).  

What can you personally do, as a believer, “by the Spirit of indwelling faith?” “…Jesus said unto him, If THOU CANST BELIEVE (accept, rely on God), ALL THINGS are possible to him that believeth (accepts, relies on God)…” (Mark 9:23 KJV).  “…God … sent forth the Spirit of His Son (the WORD) “INTO” [Y]OUR HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…[You] can do ALL THINGS through Christ which strengtheneth [you]…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV).

“…The measure of faith” or the “spirit of faith” is gifted by God to empower BELIEF JESUS. “… Jesus answered, and said…This is the work of God: that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” (John 6:29 KJV). “…Therefore, “… God hath dealt to every man the measure of FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

God gives you the measure of faith” or the “spirit of faith” and the “HE” works IN, THROUGH, and FOR you in order to fulfill his good purposes (Romans 12:3). “…It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “… [God]… equip[s] … you with everything good (measure of faith) for doing his will…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV).“… [God]…work[s] … in [you]… what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “the work of God [is] that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” (John 6:29 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

God gives and equips you with the measure of faith” or the “spirit of faith” to fulfill his purposes (Romans 12:3). Therefore, “…It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).

Another purpose God gives and equips you with “the measure of faith” or the “spirit of faith” is to express his love for you. “…What is important is faith expressing itself IN LOVE…” (Galatians 5:6 NLT). Faith is meant to “…direct your hearts TO the love of God…” (2 Thessalonians 3:5 NASB & Romans 12:3). “…May the Lord lead your hearts INTO a full understanding and EXPRESSION of the love of God …” (2 Thessalonians 3:5 NLT). “…Faith which worketh by love…” (Galatians 5:6 KJV).

God sustains “the measure of faith” or the “spirit of faith” through Jesus (Romans 12:3). “…The Son is … sustaining ALL THINGS by his powerful word…” (Hebrews 1:3 NIV). “…In him (Jesus) ALL THINGS hold together…” (Colossians 1:7 NIV). “…Being confident of this very thing, that HE WHICH HATH “BEGUN” A GOOD “WORK” IN YOU WILL “PERFORM” IT until the day of Jesus Christ…” (Philippians 1:6 KJV).

 Jesus is the author of your “measure of faith” or “spirit of faith” and lovingly works in, through, and for you from the beginning of your faith walk to the end. “…Looking unto Jesus the AUTHOR (originator) and FINISHER (sustainer) OF [Y[OUR…[indwelling Spirit of]… FAITH…” (Hebrews 12:2a KJV). “…The LORD WILL PERFECT (grow, mature) that which concerneth me…” (Psalms 138:8 KJV). “…HE “WILL” KEEP YOU STRONG to the end…” (1 Corinthians 1:8 NLT).

The indwelling Spirit (Jesus) is the one who “gives” you faith and then works “that” faith in, through, and for you. “… Jesus the AUTHOR and FINISHER OF OUR FAITH…” (Hebrews 12:2a KJV). “…God … sent forth the Spirit of His Son (the WORD) “INTO” [YOUR HEART]…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT).

You can TOTALLY depend on the indwelling Spirit (Jesus) to be both the originator and sustainer of your “measure of faith” or “spirit of faith.” (Romans 12:3). “… I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith “of” the Son of God…” (Galatians 2:20 KJV). “…I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). “…God hath dealt to every man the measure of FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). “… Jesus the AUTHOR and FINISHER OF OUR FAITH…” (Hebrews 12:2a KJV). “…HE WHICH HATH “BEGUN” A GOOD “WORK” IN YOU WILL “PERFORM” IT until the day of Jesus Christ…” (Philippians 1:6 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

Jesus “originates” your “measure of faith” and becomes the “finisher” of it (Romans 12:3 & Hebrews 12:2a). In other words, as author and finisher of your “measure of faith” Jesus creates it, empowers it, and sustains it. “…It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).

The WORK of indwelling faith is a labor of LOVE. “…Love … the perfect BOND of UNITY...” (Colossians 3:14 NASB). “…God is love…” (1 John 4:4-8 KJV).“the work of God (love) [is] that ye believe on him…” (John 6:29 KJV). “…Faith … worketh by love…” (Galatians 5:6 KJV). “…the Father [of love] that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

The “measure of faith” can NEVER be lost, taken away, reduced, become powerless, weakened, or given away (Romans 12:3). “…God hath dealt to every man the measure of FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). “…No one can undo what I have done..." (Isaiah 43:13 NLT). “…When I act, who can reverse it?" (Isaiah 43:13 NIV). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).  ^“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NIV).

Christ originates your faith, empowers faith, showcases faith, and brings about the results of faith. “…The Holy Spirit gives birth to SPIRITUAL LIFE…” (John 3:6 NLT). “…For it is God who works in you…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).

Dependence on Jesus’ indwelling spirit of faith involves acceptance and choice. “…Choose LIFE…” (Deuteronomy 30:19 KJV). “…Jesus said… I am the LIFE…..” (John 11:25 KJV). “…Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…The LORD will accomplish (take care of)…that which concerns [you]…” (John 14:31 NASB). “…The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: …” (Psalms 37:23 KJV). “….Apart from [Jesus]… you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “… [You] can do all things through Christ (the originator of your faith) which strengtheneth [you]…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV).

“…God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV). AND “…Jesus [is]… the AUTHOR and FINISHER OF [THAT]… FAITH…” (Hebrews 12:2a KJV). “…HE WHICH HATH “BEGUN” A GOOD “WORK” IN YOU WILL “PERFORM” IT until the day of Jesus Christ…” (Philippians 1:6 KJV). ^“…God …works in you TO WILL and TO ACT in order to fulfill his good purpose…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “…Faith … worketh by love…” (Galatians 5:6 KJV). “….Apart from Me (JESUS), you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).  “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

Every day you can “…walk BY FAITH...” (2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV).“…the Father  … he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…It is God who works IN YOU TO WILL and TO ACT in order to fulfill his good purpose…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).

The indwelling Spirit of faith is a spiritual gift and it is spiritual fruit. God “…dealt (GAVE, GIFTED) to every man the measure of faith...” (Romans 12:3 KJV).“… [One of]...the fruit of the Spirit “is”… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).

Faith is a FRUIT “of” (part of) the empowering, indwelling HOLY SPIRIT. “…The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, FAITH, Meekness, temperance…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).  “…The Spirit of God dwell[s]… in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…JESUS SAID, "I and my Father are…ONE…" (John 10:30 KJV). THEREFORE, “…the Lord is that Spirit [too]…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV “…Jesus Christ is IN YOU…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…Christ be “IN” YOU… (Romans 8:10 KJV).

Therefore, “…I CAN DO (walk in divine faith) all things through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). I CAN “…walk BY FAITH...” (2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV). “…It shall be done to [me] ACCORDING TO [MY] FAITH…" (Matthew 9:29 NASB).

“…ALL THINGS for which you pray and ask, BELIEVE (accept, rely on, choose, etc.) THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED THEM, and they will be granted you…” (Mark 11:24 NASB).

Your capacity for living by the indwelling spirit of faith is unlimited and the more you exercise “the measure of faith” the more you will experience supernatural happenings (Romans 12:3). “…Jesus said unto him, If THOU CANST BELIEVE (accept, rely on, or choose to exercise faith by HEARING the WORD), all things are possible to him that believeth (accepts, depends, HEARS)…” (Mark 9:23 KJV). “…the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak…" (Matthew 26:41 NASB). “…The Lord is that Spirit…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). “…I CAN DO all things through Christ (through HIS indwelling spirit of faith)…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV).

Do you have the indwelling Spirit of faith? YES. “…God hath dealt to every man the measure of FAITH…” (Romans 12:3 NIV).  One of “…the fruit of the Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…GOD IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).  “…The Spirit of God dwell[s]… in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…The Lord is that Spirit [too]…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV “…Jesus Christ is IN YOU…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). . "I and my Father are one." (John 10:30 KJV)

You can WALK by the empowering, indwelling Spirit of FAITH. “… [You]… CAN DO all things through Christ which strengtheneth [you]…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV).
