WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE INDWELLING FRUIT OF FAITH HEARS THE
WORD.
“…Faith
cometh (is activated. influenced, PRODUCED, etc.) by HEARING… the WORD of God…”
(Roman 10:17 KJV).
*
Which faith COMES when
it HEARS the WORD of God? It can't be your "human" faith, because APART from Jesus, the WORD OF GOD, "YOU" can do "NOTHING;" not EVEN have the RIGHT kind of FAITH. “…Apart from [JESUS], you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).
GOD SUPPLIES "ALL" YOUR NEEDS, INCLUDING YOUR NEED FOR SPIRITUAL FAITH?“…God shall supply ALL YOUR NEED … BY (through) Christ Jesus (the indwelling Holy Spirit)…” (Philippians 4:19 KJV).
GOD SUPPLIES YOU WITH SPIRITUAL FAITH THROUGH HIS INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT. “…God … SENT forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO” [Y]OUR… HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6 NASB).“…I will put a NEW SPIRIT in you…” (Ezekiel 36:26 NLT). “…through Jesus Christ …WE …receive the promise of the [HOLY] … Spirit …” (Galatians 3:13-14 KJV).“…God is [the HOLY] Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “…the [HOLY] … Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).
THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT PRODUCES SPIRITUAL FAITH, CALLED THE "FRUIT OF FAITH" WHEN IT "HEARS" THE WORD OF GOD. “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [y]our lives … FAITH….(GALATIONS 5:22-23 NLT). “… [This kind of] Faith (which is one of the fruit of the indwelling Holy Spirit) cometh (is activated or produced) by HEARING… the (empowering) WORD of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV).
WHEN THE WORD OF GOD IS HEARD, THE INDWELLING SPIRITUAL FRUIT OF FAITH, WILL EMPOWER YOU.
THE "SPIRITUAL FRUIT OF FAITH," PRODUCED BY THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT, IS A "GIFT." “…You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit….” (Acts 2:38 NASB). “… It is the … Holy Spirit who gives all these ... gifts and POWERS… (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). THEREFORE, “….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 (THE SPIRITUAL FRUIT OF FAITH)…” (Psalms 85:12 KJV). “…A man (woman) can receive nothing, except it BE GIVEN him (her) 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 INDWELLING HOLY] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “… [The GIFT OF SPIRITUAL FAITH is]… NOT OF YOURSELVES, … not of works, that no man (woman) should glory…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
THEREFORE, “…The righteous "WILL" live by "HIS" [gift of THE INDWELLING FRUIT OF] faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…Christ liveth in [you SO]…live by the [gift of THE INDWELLING FRUIT OF] faith of the Son of God. …” (Galatians 2:20 KJV). “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [y]our lives … " (Galations 5:22-23 NLT).“… It is … Holy Spirit who GIVES all these gifts and POWERS… (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). "…Apart from [THE HOLY SPIRIT], you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “… that no man (woman) should glory…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).
The FRUIT of faith. within you, is produced by the Holy Spirit, and COMES (grows & develops) when it hears the WORD of God. When the Word of God is heard, the spiritual fruit of faith, produced by the indwelling Holy Spirit, empowers and strengthens the soul to RISE UP & to do the things that are PLEASING in God's sight. “…Human effort accomplishes nothing….” (John 6:63 NLT). "…It is God who works in you…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).“…the Father that dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…It is IMPOSSIBLE to "PLEASE GOD" without FAITH…” (Hebrews 11:6 NLT). So God MADE CERTAIN you had FAITH! The bible says, “…That great Shepherd of the sheep, EQUIP YOU with everything good (including FAITH) for doing his will, and may he work “IN US” (by producing THE spiritual "FRUIT OF FAITH) what is PLEASING to him, through Jesus Christ (the INDWELLING Holy Spirit)..." (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). "...KEEPING our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates (begins, produces, etc.) and perfects (develops & matures) our faith…” (Hebrews 12:2 NASB). “…It is God which worketh IN YOU both to will and to do of his good PLEASURE…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV).
GOD SUPPLIES "ALL" YOUR NEEDS, INCLUDING YOUR NEED FOR SPIRITUAL FAITH?“…God shall supply ALL YOUR NEED … BY (through) Christ Jesus (the indwelling Holy Spirit)…” (Philippians 4:19 KJV).

When the WORD OF GOD is "HEARD," the indwelling Fruit of FAITH is produced and begins to empower you TO DO, to HOPE IN, and to RECEIVE EXACTLY
what the WORD SAYS or PROMISES!!!
JESUS, “is” also the LIVING WORD of God. “…the
Word (Jesus) was made
FLESH, dwelt
among us, and we saw
His glory (GOD'S PRESENCE)...”
(JOHN 1:14 KJV). “…No
one has ever seen God. But [Jesus, the WORD of GOD) ... He
has revealed God to us…” (John 1:18 NLT). “…Jesus saith … he that hath seen me hath SEEN THE FATHER…” (John 14:9 KJV).
Let’s look at a section
of John 1:14. It says, “….The WORD
was made flesh….” (John 1:14 KJV). Jesus "IS" and represents “The WORD.” “… He (Jesus) had a
name written, that no man knew … his name is called The Word of God…”
(Revelation 19:12-13 NASB). “…In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God …
(John 1:1-4 NASB).…Jesus saith … he that hath seen me hath SEEN THE FATHER…” (John 14:9 KJV).
The WORD
is also understood by the term logos,
which means communication from God, which the bible says comes straight from his heart. “…The
only begotten (special and supernaturally created) Son (the WORD), which
is in the bosom (secret, intimate place of his heart) of the
Father, he hath declared (explained, revealed, or communicated
for) him…” (John 1:18 KJV).
The WORD communicated a MESSAGE of LOVE
directly from GOD’S HEART in regard to SALVATION and REPENTANCE. “….God …now commandeth all men every where to REPENT…”
(Acts 17:30 KJV). "…REPENT AND RETURN, “SO”
that your sins may be wiped away…” (Acts 3:19 NASB). “… [I, the WORD,]…kept declaring
….that they
should REPENT and TURN TO God…”
(Acts 26: 20 NASB). "…REPENT AND RETURN, “SO”
that your sins may be wiped away…” (Acts 3:19 NASB).
The WORD was DECLARED, but NOT everyone
actually LISTENED. The WORD was clearly DEMONSTRATED, but NOT actually PAY
ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY SAW. The WORD was GOD and HE was in their midst, just like he is today, but
they didn’t even know it. “… Jacob awoke
from his sleep and said, "Surely the
LORD is in this place, and I did not know it…"
(Genesis 28:16 NASB). “… The
heavens declare His righteousness, And ALL THE PEOPLES have seen His glory (his presence)…”
(Psalms 97:6 NASB).
The WORD was clothed in FLESH and since
mankind MOSTLY look on the outside, the WORD was EASILY
missed. Thus mankind continues in their trespasses, sins, and rebellions, against God, to
this VERY day. “….The WORD was made flesh….”
(John 1:14 KJV).“… the
LORD is in this place (the WHOLE world), and I did not know it…"
(Genesis 28:16 NASB). “…the whole earth is full of his GLORY (presence)…”
(Isaiah 6:3). “…the earth is filled
with the LORD's GLORY (presence)…”
(Number 14:21 NLT).“…God is Spirit…” (John 4:24 KJV). “...God sees not as man sees,
for man looks at the outward
appearance, …”(1
Samuel 16:7 NASB).
It wasn’t JESUS’ FLESH that
made him the POWERFUL Word of God; it was the INDWELLING POWER of
the HOLY SPIRIT that SPOKE through Jesus & "ANOINTED" him to demonstrate & REVEAL his WORKING POWER! “…God (the Father) anointed Jesus of Nazareth (his Word) (HOW?) with the Holy Ghost (his Presence)
and WITH (miraculous working) POWER (WHAT DID JESUS, THE WORD, DO?) … [he] … went about doing good, and healing
all that were oppressed of the devil; (HOW WAS HE ABLE TO DO THOSE THINGS?) ….GOD WAS WITH HIM. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the
Jews, and in Jerusalem…”
(Acts 10:38-39 KJV).
It was the Father & his working POWER, WITHIN JESUS, that became ACTIVATED when the WORD was "HEARD!" “…God is Spirit …” (John
4:24 KJV). Jesus SAID: “…I do
nothing of myself…”
(John 8:28 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he
doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…the Word was God …All things came (or comes) into being through Him (THE WORD)…
(John 1:1-4 NASB). “…the Father ... he
doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
JESUS, the WORD, wrapped in human FLESH,
served as a MOUTHPIECE for God’s communication to mankind. “….The WORD was made
flesh….” (John 1:14 KJV). HOWEVER, “…THE WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto
you, they ARE SPIRIT…” (John 6:63 KJV) “…God is Spirit …” (John
4:24 KJV).
Listening to God’s words through Jesus is
similar to listening to a person’s words or voice through a radio.
God’s words came through human flesh just like a disc jockey's words come through a radio.
If the radio suddenly became animated, but continued to deliver the disc jockeys words it would be similar to
the way JESUS, became flesh, but delivered God’s words to humanity.
The WORDS you hear through the radio is
“that” disc jockey’s actual words.
The WORDS you hear through Jesus is God’s
actual words. Words also mean message, speech, or communication. “….The
WORD was made flesh….”
(John 1:14 KJV).
What was the importance
of SENDING the WORD? The bible SAYS: “…THERE ARE THREE that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and THESE THREE
ARE ONE “…THERE IS NO GOD, BUT ONE…” (1
Corinthians 8:4 KJV).
For example: “…Then God
SAID, “Let there be
light”; AND THERE WAS LIGHT…”
(Genesis 1:3 NASB).
1.
“…Then God
SAID (God. the Father said);
2.
“Let there be light”
(through Jesus, his Word);
3.
AND THERE WAS LIGHT (through his POWER, The
Holy Spirit)…”
(Genesis 1:3 NASB).
4.
There is ONE God. These three REVELATIONS of God are working rapidly and simultaneously together. We are looking
at in VERY slow motion. The Holy Spirit DOES
what Jesus, the Word
SPEAKS and
God, the Father sayS
God, the Father says something.
Jesus speaks what he says. The Holy Spirit, does
the work.
“….The WORD was made
flesh….” (John 1:14 KJV). Jesus, the WORD, made flesh, SPEAKS what God, that Father says, and the HOLY SPIRIT “DOES” the WORK whether "that" work is IN your heart or WHEREVER!!
God
is the FATHER. Jesus
is the WORD of
the father. The Holy
Spirit is the POWER of the father. “…THESE THREE ARE ONE (and they are ALL God, the father, who is Spirit & clearly seen ).…” (1 JOHN 5:6-8 KJV).
“…The
invisible [God, the Father, who is Spirit]…from the creation of the world …clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made …” (Romans
1:20 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John
14:10 KJV). “…What we now SEE did
not come from anything that can be SEEN…” (Hebrews 11 NLT).
“…the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost…” (1
Corinthians 8:4 KJV). Jesus, the WORD is at the CENTER, between God, the Father, and God, the Holy Spirit, his Power.
The
CENTER is the most important position because it is the SOURCE from which ALL
else originates. Jesus, the WORD, speaks for Father God. Jesus, the WORD, activates the Holy Spirit to do the WILL of Father God. “…In
the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God,
and the Word was God. He was in the beginning
with God. All things came into being through Him (THE WORD OF GOD, THE FATHER), and apart from Him nothing came into
being that has come into being …
(John 1:1-4 NASB).
The CENTER, which is
the WORD, is the SOURCE of POWER, THAT INFLUENCES "ALL" of GOD'S ACTION. “… All things came into being through Him (the WORD), and apart from Him (the WORD) nothing
came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB).
The CENTER, which is
the WORD of God, is the pivotal place where everything else revolves. For instance, we say the SUN is the center of the solar system and
everything else revolves around it. “…apart
from Him (the WORD) nothing
came into being that has come into being … (John 1:1-4 NASB). “… [Jesus, the WORD is] …sustaining ALL THINGS by his … [power]…” (Hebrews 1:3 NIV).
Thus, the FATHER’s (who is Spirit) WORD (Jesus)
“is” POWER (Holy Spirit) and they are ONE. “…THERE ARE THREE that bear record (REVEAL God) in heaven, the Father (who is Spirit), the Word (JESUS), and the Holy Ghost (POWER):
and THESE THREE
ARE ONE.…” (1
JOHN 5:6-8 KJV).
“… THESE THREE ARE ONE.…” (1 JOHN 5:6-8 KJV). Breaking the Father, the Word and the
Holy Spirit down into pieces is like looking at them in very, very slow motion,
but they are working together as ONE; fast, quick, immediate, and
simultaneously. “…Then God SAID,
“Let there be light”; AND THERE WAS LIGHT…” (Genesis 1:3 NASB).
The WORD is the Father’s communication, he speaks it through
Jesus, and does the
WORK through the Holy Spirit. “…the Father that
dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
An IMPORTANT "KEY" to this is that the HOLY SPIRIT does EXACTLY what the WORD "SAYS." That SAME HOLY Spirit "DWELLS" in YOU!! THIS IS POWERFUL; DON'T MISS IT!! “…I do nothing of myself…” (John 8:28 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [Jesus], HE DOETH the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…God is [the HOLY] Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “…the [HOLY] … Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).
An IMPORTANT "KEY" to this is that the HOLY SPIRIT does EXACTLY what the WORD "SAYS." That SAME HOLY Spirit "DWELLS" in YOU!! THIS IS POWERFUL; DON'T MISS IT!! “…I do nothing of myself…” (John 8:28 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [Jesus], HE DOETH the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…God is [the HOLY] Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “…the [HOLY] … Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).
The
HOLY SPIRIT “DOES” - what God says to do and Jesus, the
WORD SPEAKS - “EVERY” single time!! “…I
change NOT…”
(Malachi 3:6 KJV).
“ … MY WORD … SHALL ACCOMPLISH
(through the WORK of the Holy Spirit) that which I please, and it SHALL PROSPER (through the WORK of the Holy
Spirit) in the thing whereto I sent it…” (Isaiah 55:11 KJV). God
says, I “…am WATCHING over my word to PERFORM it (through
the WORK of the Holy Spirit)…” (Jeremiah 1:12 NASB).
IN Ezekiel 37 you can CLEARLY
“SEE” how GOD says something through his WORD AND
THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES what God says and speaks. “…Prophesy
(or SPEAK, God says to Ezekiel)… and say to them. This is what the Sovereign Lord says…”
(Ezekiel 37 NIV).
This is what God told Ezekiel to SPEAK: “ …‘My people …I will PUT my SPIRIT in you and you will LIVE …Then you will know that I the Lord have
spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord...’”
(Ezekiel 37 NIV).
“…As [Ezekiel]… was
prophesying (SPEAKING GOD’S
WORD as he was told to), there was a noise (The Holy Spirit started DOING the WORK ), a rattling sound, and THE BONES CAME TOGETHER, BONE TO BONE. [Ezekiel, with his OWN natural eyes]… LOOKED, and tendons
and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them … [then]… BREATH ENTERED THEM; they came to
LIFE (AS THE WORD SAID) and STOOD UP on their feet—a vast army… I HAVE DONE IT (BY THE POWER OF MY HOLY SPIRIT), declares (REVEALS) the Lord…’”
(Ezekiel 37 NIV).
“... (WHO DID IT?)…I HAVE DONE IT,
declares the Lord…’”
(Ezekiel 37 NIV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, HE DOETH the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV). The FATHER’s
WORD “is” POWER and they are ONE. “…THERE ARE THREE that bear record (REVEAL) in heaven, the Father (GOD), the Word (JESUS), and the Holy Ghost (POWER):
and THESE THREE
ARE ONE.…” (1
JOHN 5:6-8 KJV).
The POWER of GOD’s WORD
… is CLEARLY SEEN in EZEKIEL. “…Since
the creation of the world God’s INVISIBLE QUALITIES—have been CLEARLY SEEN, being UNDERSTOOD FROM WHAT HAS BEEN MADE …”
(Romans 1:20 NIV). “… [THE BONES] …came to LIFE…’”
(Ezekiel 37 NIV). “ … BREATH ENTERED THEM; they … STOOD UP on
their feet—a vast army... I HAVE DONE IT, declares the Lord…’”
(Ezekiel 37 NIV).
“… THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at God’s command … what we now SEE (the
whole world) did not come from anything that
can be SEEN (the WORK of the Holy Spirit)…” (Hebrews 11:3 NLT). “…BY THE WORD of the Lord (the SPOKEN word OF GOD) the heavens were made (THROUGH the
WORK of the Holy Spirit), And by the breath of His mouth all their host…”
(Psalms 33:6 NASB).
JESUS,
the WORD, WHILE ON EARTH AND IN HUMAN FLESH DEPENDED UPON WHAT GOD SAID and HE DEPENDED UPON THE HOLY SPIRIT TO DO THE WORK. “…God anointed (empowered) Jesus of Nazareth (HOW?) with the Holy Spirit and POWER (WHAT WAS JESUS ABLE TO DO?) …he
went around doing good and healing all (HOW WAS HE ABLE TO DO THOSE THINGS?)….because
God was with him…” (Acts 10:38 NIV). “…the Father that
dwelleth in [HIM], he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
God anointed others “WITH” the
Holy Spirit and POWER too. “…Stephen, a man full
of God’s
grace and POWER
(the indwelling Spirit and worker of ALL God’s ability), performed great wonders and signs among the people…”
(Acts 6:8 NIV). “…God
did extraordinary MIRACLES (by
the indwelling Holy Spirit and worker of ALL God’s ability) through Paul…”
(Acts 19:11 NIV). “…I
persevered in demonstrating among you the marks of a true apostle, including signs, wonders and
MIRACLES (by the WORK of the Holy Spirit and worker of ALL God’s ability)…” (2
Corinthians 12:12 NIV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV).
“…Now God GIVES US many
kinds of special abilities, but it is the same HOLY SPIRIT who is the SOURCE of them all.
…it is the same
God who does the work IN and THROUGH all of us who are his. The HOLY SPIRIT (the worker of God’s abilities) DISPLAYS God’s power (ALL God’s ABILITY) THROUGH each of us … It is the same and only Holy Spirit who gives all these gifts
and POWERS… (1 Corinthians
12:4-11 NLT).
“…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing
too hard for me?”
(Jeremiah 32:27 KJV).
God said, through Jesus, that
believers would have special gifts. The indwelling HOLY SPIRIT distributes those special gifts as God said to do through Jesus. “…That great Shepherd
of the sheep, equip
you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work “IN
US” what is pleasing to him, through
Jesus Christ…”
(Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…It is God which
worketh IN YOU both to will and to do of his
good pleasure…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV). “…the Father that
dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth the
works…” (John 14:10 KJV).“…God is [the HOLY] Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “…the [HOLY] … Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “… he doeth the
works…” (John 14:10 KJV).“
God DOES NOT say something and Jesus DOES NOT
speak anything WITHOUT complete faith and absolute assurance that the Holy Spirit "WILL" do the CONFIRMING 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). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he
doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
“…The disciples went everywhere and preached,
and the Lord worked through them, CONFIRMING what
they said by many miraculous
signs…” (Mark 16:20 KJV). “…The …HOLY
SPIRIT …is the SOURCE of [THE CONFIRMING WORKS OF GOD]. … … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power (supernatural WORKS and
PERFORMANCES) THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).
“…The Father
that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
In Genesis 1:13 the Father’s POWERFUL, SPOKEN WORD
is witnessed tHROUGH The CONFIRMING 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 SAYS with complete faith and absolute assurance in his OWN WORD & POWER). 2. “Let there be light”
(Jesus, the Word speaks with complete faith and absolute assurance in what God SAYS & KNOWS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE WORK WILL BE DONE). 3. AND THERE WAS LIGHT (The Holy Spirit, God's POWER does the WORK of GOD WITHOUT QUESTION OR HESITATION; an absolute obedient servant to his commandments & his will)…” (Genesis 1:3 NASB).
God has complete, immutable assurance in his OWN WORD. “…MY WORD … 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).
The WORD is the ORIGIN of EVERYTHING that
is made or created. The WORD is the CENTER point in which EVERYTHING else
begins from God, the Father, who is Spirit, commands. “… THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at God’s command … what we now SEE (the
whole universe) did not come from anything that
can be SEEN (the WORK of the Holy Spirit)…” (Hebrews 11:3 NLT).
It is no wonder the
NAME “JESUS” (THE WORD) is
the name ABOVE “ALL” other names and titles. “… [a]… name
which is above every name…”
(Philippians 2:9). “… He (Jesus) had a
name written, that no man knew … his name is called The Word of God…”
(Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).
JESUS’ “IS” the WORD. The WORD stems from
God’s command and is the CORE SOURCE of EVERY ACTIVITY SEEN or DONE in ALL the
universe. “… at
God’s command … what we now SEE (everything SEEN and DONE) did not come from anything that can be SEEN (the WORK of
the Holy Spirit)…”
(Hebrews 11:3 NLT). “… The Word of God…”
(Revelation 19:12-13 NASB).
The WORD of God
influences “ALL” ACTIONS and ACTIVITIES of the HOLY SPIRIT, the POWER of God. Therefore, the WORD can influence the indwelling FRUIT of FAITH by the POWER of God's CONFIRMING Holy Spirit. “…Faith cometh
(is activated or influenced) by HEARING… the WORD of God…”
(Roman 10:17 KJV). “……it is …God who does
the work IN and THROUGH all of us who are his… (1
Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).“…The HOLY SPIRIT
DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … (1
Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “… It is the … Holy Spirit who gives all these gifts and POWERS… (1
Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…The Father
that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
The indwelling FRUIT of FAITH, produced by the Holy Spirit, RESPONDS to the
WORD when it is HEARD, and "DOETH the WORK." “…The Father
that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…GOD (IS SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV). “…The Lord
(the Word) is that Spirit…” (2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV).“…THE WORDS … they
ARE SPIRIT…”
(John 6:63 KJV). “…The [HOLY] … Spirit of God dwell[s] in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). .“…[one of] … the
fruit of the Spirit is … faith …”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…Jesus Christ (the
Father’s WORD, that activates the confirming power of the Holy Spirit, which) is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV).
The indwelling FRUIT of FAITH is part “OF”
THE HOLY SPIRIT within the New Creation heart – that responds to what god says and speaks through Jesus, his word & then does God’s work! It is “IN” you!! “ That's WHY, … [the Fruit of FAITH (part “OF” the indwelling Holy Spirit) IS
the substance (guarantee, assurance) of things hoped for (expected), [and] the evidence (PROOF) of things not seen…”
(Hebrews 11:1 KJV).
The HOLY SPIRIT is the absolute assurance of the things you hope for in God or expect from him through Jesus, his WORD, because the HOLY Spirit RESPONDS to what God, the Father SAYS and SPEAKS.
The HOLY SPIRIT "WILL" work "IN" and "THROUGH" YOU to do whatever God, the Father's WORD says and speaks. The indwelling HOLY Spirit is the PROOF, when you choose to depend upon his WORD, that you "WILL" receive what God says you will through his powerful confirming WORKS!
The HOLY SPIRIT is the absolute assurance of the things you hope for in God or expect from him through Jesus, his WORD, because the HOLY Spirit RESPONDS to what God, the Father SAYS and SPEAKS.
The HOLY SPIRIT "WILL" work "IN" and "THROUGH" YOU to do whatever God, the Father's WORD says and speaks. The indwelling HOLY Spirit is the PROOF, when you choose to depend upon his WORD, that you "WILL" receive what God says you will through his powerful confirming WORKS!
The indwelling Fruit of FAITH, produced by the Holy Spirit, is NOW in you AND “STILL” “DOES” what
it HEARS God, the Father, SPEAK through Jesus, his WORD: Guaranteed!
Therefore, “… [The indwelling fruit of] Faith (part “OF” the
Holy Spirit) cometh (is activated, responds to, is influenced by...) by HEARING… the
WORD of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV).
THE FATHER’S WORD IS POWER. The indwelling fruit of FAITH that is part “OF” the indwelling Holy Spirit BECOMES immediately active,
in your life, by HEARING THE
WORD of God. “…you will abound in HOPE by the
power of the Holy Spirit…”
(Romans 15:13 NASB). “…God, the source of
HOPE, will fill you completely.... Then
you will overflow with confident HOPE through
the power of the Holy Spirit…” (Romans 15:13 NLT).
The indwelling fruit of FAITH that is part
“OF” the Holy Spirit RESPONDS to GOD’s WORD without fail & begins to WORK. “…Faith cometh (is activated, responds to, is influenced, or WORKS)
by HEARING… the WORD of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV). “….Apart from [the HOLY SPIRIT] you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [you] (God, the Holy Spirit), he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
God “…dealt
(GAVE) to every man (believer) the
measure of faith...” (Romans 12:3 KJV).
“…God … sent
forth the Spirit
of His Son “INTO”
[Y]OUR HEARTS…”
(Galatians 4:6 NASB). “…[One of] ... the fruit of the Spirit is …faith…”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).
Further, “…God… works in you to
will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose…”
(Philippians 2:13 NIV). “….Apart from Me (God, the Holy Spirit), you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).
IT IS THE FATHER’S HOLY
SPIRIT that “… is able TO DO exceeding abundantly ABOVE all that we ask or
think…”
(Ephesians 3:20 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
IT IS THE FATHER’S HOLY
SPIRIT that makes “…the things which are impossible with men … POSSIBLE …”
(Luke 18:27 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
IT IS THE FATHER’S HOLY
SPIRIT that CAN DO ANYTHING!!
“…I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing
too hard for me?”
(Jeremiah 32:27 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
Nonetheless, IT IS THE FATHER’S WORD (JESUS),
THAT “IS” the CENTRAL SOURCE of EVERY ACTIVITY (SPEAKING God's commands) in ALL
the universe. “… THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE WAS FORMED at God’s command … what we now SEE (the
whole universe) did not come from anything that
can be SEEN (the WORK of the Holy Spirit)…” (Hebrews 11:3 NLT).“…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).
Therefore, HIS WORDS ARE COMPLETELY
TRUSTWORTHY. “…All your commands are TRUSTWORTHY…”
(PSALM 119:86 NLT). “…This hope (EXPECTANCY IN GOD'S WORD to WORK) is a
strong and TRUSTWORTHY anchor for our souls…” (HEBREWS 6:19 NLT). “Everything you have heard … is TRUSTWORTHY
and true…” (REVELATION 22:6 NLT).
HIS WORD WON’T EVER DISAPPOINT. “…the Scripture says, "WHOEVER [accepts, relies, and depends
upon] HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED…" (ROMANS 10:11
NASB). “…In You they trusted and WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED…. (PSALMS
22:5 NASB).
THUS, YOU CAN“…Trust
in the Lord (the WORD, jesus) with
all thine heart…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…The LORD
(the WORD, Jesus) “WILL” accomplish (take care of)…that which concerns [you]…”
(John 14:31 NASB). “...Casting all your care upon him (the WORD, Jesus); for he careth for
you.” (1 Peter 5:7 KJV).
“…All he does is just and good, and all his commandments are TRUSTWORTHY….”
(PSALMS 111:7 NLT).
For example, God told Abraham he would have
a son at 90+ years old and from that son he would make him a GREAT nation. “…Abraham believed God (DEPENDED UPON GOD'S WORD)…” (James 2:18-24 NIV).
“And when Abram was ninety years
old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said
unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and
thee…” (Genesis
17 KJV). “…And
I will make of
thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great;
and thou shalt be a blessing. …And in thee SHALL ALL FAMILIES of the earth be
blessed…”
(Genesis 12:2-3 KJV).
However, God told him to sacrifice his
only son on the altar. In the natural, if Abraham sacrifices his son on the altar, how will he
become a GREAT nation? After all, he is already past 99 years old. Well, “…Abraham believed God[‘s WORD]…” (James 2:18-24 NIV)..
“…It was BY FAITH (the empowering WORK of
the Holy Spirit)
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…”
(Hebrews 11 NLT)
“…Abraham believed
(was empowered to depend upon God's Word through the WORK of the HOLY SPIRIT) God…”
(James 2:18-24 NIV). “….Apart from Me (the Holy Spirit), you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV). “…[God] is able TO DO exceeding abundantly ABOVE all that we ask or
think…”
(Ephesians 3:20 KJV). “…he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…The things which are
impossible with men … POSSIBLE [with God] …” (Luke 18:27
KJV). “…The
God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah
32:27 KJV).
Thus, “…Even when there was no reason for hope (expecting God to keep his WORD), Abraham kept hoping (expecting)--believing (depending) that
he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him,
"That's how many descendants you will have!" (Romans 4:18 NLT).
To this day, everyone who has faith in
God’s WORD, like Abraham did, is considered Abraham’s seed. “…Understand, then, that those who HAVE FAITH (empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT) ARE children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and
announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who RELY
ON FAITH (depend upon FAITH empowered by the Holy Spirit) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of
faith (empowered by the Holy Spirit)…” (Galatians 3: 7-9
NIV).
Abraham demonstrated unwavering faith in (or dependency upon) God. “…Abraham [was empowered,
through the work of the Holy Spirit to depend upon God‘s WORD]…” (James 2:18-24 NIV). Because
of the power of the Holy Spirit “…even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping (EXPECTING)—believing. (DEPENDING)..."
(Romans 4:18 NLT).
Abraham was empowered to trust and depend
upon God’s WORD, which assured him if he sacrificed his only son God would
STILL be able to make him a GREAT nation through Isaac; that SAME son. “…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…”
(Hebrews 11 NLT). “….I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is
there any thing too hard for me?”
(Jeremiah 32:27 KJV).
Abraham’s faith (empowered DEPENDENCY UPON GOD) was activated
and influenced by the WORD of God. “…It was BY FAITH (the WORK of
God’s Holy Spirit) that ABRAHAM OFFERED UP
ISAAC … Abraham reasoned that if Isaac died, God was ABLE
to bring him back to life again.…” (Hebrews 11 NLT). “… Is there any thing too hard for [God]?”
(Jeremiah 32:27 KJV).
“…God
hath dealt (GIVEN)… 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 has allotted to each a measure of faith…” (Romans 12:3 NASB). “[God’s] …Holy Spirit
…is the SOURCE [of it ALL]…” (1 Corinthians 12: 4-11
NLT).
Hebrews 11 demonstrates how the Spirit of FAITH, when activated or
influenced by the WORD empowers actions and activity in and through people:
BY
FAITH we understand …
BY
FAITH …Abel brought …
BY
FAITH …Enoch was taken up…
BY
FAITH …Noah BUILT
…
BY
HIS FAITH Noah CONDEMNED. …
BY
FAITH …Abraham obeyed …
he lived
there BY FAITH—
BY
FAITH …SARAH WAS ABLE TO
HAVE A CHILD…
BY
FAITH …THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL
WENT RIGHT THROUGH THE
RED SEA
BY
FAITH …the people of Israel MARCHED
AROUND JERICHO
FOR SEVEN
DAYS…
BY
FAITH these people [were empowered by the Holy Spirit and]... 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).
“…In the beginning was the Word
… (John 1:1-4 NASB).
From the very beginning God SAID WORDS,
which Jesus SPOKE, and those WORDS activated the Holy Spirit to DO THE CONFIRMING WORK as
demonstrated throughout the CREATION of the entire universe.
“…In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth…”
(Genesis 1:1 KJV).
“…In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came
into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being
that has come into being …
(John 1:1-4 NASB).
“…the invisible things (the WORK
of his Holy Spirit) of him from the creation of the world are CLEARLY SEEN…”
(Romans 1:20 KJV). Do you “SEE” the POWERFUL influence of God’s WORD today?
“…in him
(God’s POWERFUL WORD, Jesus) ALL THINGS hold together…”
(Colossians 1:7 NIV). “… [God is] sustaining ALL THINGS by his
powerful word…” (Hebrews 1:3 NIV).
God’s WORD will STAND
forever! “…My
counsel (WORD)… SHALL stand, and I will do all my pleasure…”
(Isaiah 46:10 KJV).
“…In the beginning was the
Word (jesus),
and the
Word (jesus) was
with God, and the Word (jesus) was God. He (the WORD, Jesus) was
in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him (the word, jesus),
and apart from Him (the WORD, Jesus) nothing came into being that has come into being
… (John 1:1-4 NASB). “…the invisible things (the WORK of his Holy
Spirit) of him (God the Father, who is Spirt and his spoken WORD) from the creation of the world
are CLEARLY SEEN…”
(Romans 1:20 KJV).
That SAME SPIRIT, from
the creation of the world, dwells in YOU and part of that SPIRIT is THE FRUIT OF FAITH. “…if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from
the dead dwells in you, He who
raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your [human] bodies through His Spirit
who dwells in you…” (Romans 8:11 NASB).“…GOD IS
SPIRIT…” (John 4:24 KJV).
“…the Lord is that Spirit…”
(2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV). “…Jesus
Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV). “…the Spirit of God dwell[s] in
you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV).
That “SAME” SPIRIT that
dwells in YOU “STILL” DOES the WORK
that God says to do and Jesus speaks. “The same God who does the work IN and THROUGH all of us
who are his. The HOLY SPIRIT
DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … It is the same and only Holy Spirit who gives
all these gifts and POWERS… (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…It is God who works in you…”
(Philippians 2:13 NIV). “…The God of peace, … that great Shepherd of the
sheep, … work[s] in us what is pleasing
to him, through Jesus Christ…”
(Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…The
God of peace … that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip[s] you with
everything good for doing his will…”
(Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV).
“… [God] grant[s]…
[true believers]… to be strengthened with might by his
Spirit in the inner man (woman)…” (Ephesians
3:16 KJV). “…I can do all things through
Christ which
strengthenS me…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). SHOUT!!!
Thus the WORD
confidently says “…FAITH (an innate
part of the indwelling Holy Spirit within you) is the substance (absolute guarantee) of the
things hoped for (EXPECTED FROM what GOD has said & spoken through his WORD)…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).
The Holy Spirit ALSO DOES without wavering, hesitating, or questioning WHATEVER
God says & speaks through YOU. “…The
God of peace … that great Shepherd of the sheep, … work[s]
in us … through Jesus Christ…”
(Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…Jesus Christ is in you…” (2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV).
However, the indwelling Fruit of Faith which is an innate part of the Holy Spirit,
ONLY comes or responds to the WORD!! “…faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing … the word of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV). “…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).
Thus the WORD
confidently says “…the fruit of the [Holy]
Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance…”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…FAITH (a fruit of the indwelling Holy Spirit is within you and) is the evidence (absolute proof) of things NOT seen…”
(Hebrews 11:1 KJV)
This kind of faith is
NOT human faith, but the GIFT of the HOLY SPIRIT. “…I
will put a NEW SPIRIT in you…”
(Ezekiel 36:26 NLT). “… [One of]…the fruit of the [new] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit
in [y]our lives ... faith….” (Galatians 5 NLT). “…God
has given [you] HIS Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT). God
“…[GAVE] to every man the measure of faith...” (Romans
12:3 KJV). “…IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD …” (Ephesians 2:8-9
ASV). “…God … SENT forth the Spirit of His Son “INTO” [Y]OUR… HEARTS…” (Galatians 4:6
NASB). “…The Holy Spirit
gives birth to [every aspect of] SPIRITUAL LIFE…” (John 3:6
NLT).
You have the option to
CHOOSE to depend upon God’s gift of indwelling faith or NOT.
THE FRUIT OF INDWELLING FAITH is a gift from God,
and it ONLY responds to the WORD! “…I
will put a NEW SPIRIT in you…”
(Ezekiel 36:26 NLT). “… [One of]…the fruit of the [new] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit
in [y]our lives ... faith….” (Galatians 5 NLT). “…IT IS THE
GIFT OF GOD …” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…faith cometh
by hearing, and hearing … the word of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV).
Depend upon the
indwelling Fruit of Faith instead of
your OWN human faith or human efforts. “…The righteous will live by his faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “…Apart from [HIS indwelling Holy Spirit of FAITH], you can do
nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).
“…Christ
liveth in [you]: and the life which [you] now live in the flesh [you] live by
(via, through, by the use of, etc.) the faith of the Son of God.
…” (Galatians 2:20 KJV).
Therefore, “…Walk in NEWNESS of
life…” (Romans 6:4 KJV).
Depending upon the indwelling Fruit of Faith is where
miracles, signs, and wonders REVEAL God's PRESENCE in and through you, but these miracles, signs, and wonders are DONE
by the WORK of the Holy Spirit.
“….NO MAN can do these miracles that thou doest, EXCEPT GOD BE WITH
HIM…” (John 3:2 KJV). “…God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and POWER, and … he went around doing
good and healing all ….because God was with him…”
(Acts 10:38 NIV).
“…Stephen, a man full of God’s
grace and POWER,
performed great wonders
and signs among the people…”
(Acts 6:8 NIV). “…GOD DID extraordinary MIRACLES through Paul…” (Acts 19:11 NIV). “…I persevered in demonstrating
among you the
marks of a true apostle, including signs, wonders and MIRACLES …”
(2 Corinthians 12:12 NIV).
“…Verily, verily, I say unto
you, He that believeth on me (depends upon me), the works
that I do shall he do also; and GREATER WORKS than these shall he do; because I go
unto my Father…” (John 14:1 KJV).
The STRUGGLE with FAITH
is the struggle with any of God’s truths. Humble yourself and surrender to the
truth about his indwelling Fruit of
Faith. God does the WORK of empowering the indwelling FRUIT of FAITH when the WORD of GOD is "HEARD." “…the Father that
dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth
the works…” (John 14:10 KJV). “…If My people which
are called by My name shall humble themselves, …” (2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV).
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord…”
(James 4:10 KJV). “Humble yourselves
therefore under the mighty hand of God…” (1
Peter 5:6 KJV). “… [HE that] dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth the works…”
(John 14:10 KJV). “…That great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with
everything good for doing his will, and may he work “IN US” what is pleasing to
him, through Jesus Christ, to whom
be glory for ever and ever. Amen…” (Hebrews
13:20-21 NIV). “…It is God which
worketh IN YOU both to will and to do of his
good pleasure…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV).
“… [One of]…the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit
in [y]our lives ... faith….” (Galatians 5 NLT). It is this TRUTH about the indwelling Fruit of FAITH that will set you FREE. “…God
has given [you] HIS Spirit as PROOF that … he [dwells]…in [you]…” (1 John 4:13 NLT). “…The righteous will live by "his" faith…”
(Habakkuk 2:4 NASB).
“…Christ liveth in [you SO]…live by
(via, through, by the use of, etc.) the faith of the Son of God.
…” (Galatians 2:20 KJV).
“…Thy word is truth” (JOHN
17:17 KJV). “…The truth shall MAKE YOU FREE…” (JOHN 8:32 KJV). “… [One of]…the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit
in [y]our lives ... faith….” (Galatians 5 NLT). Your indwelling Spirit of faith, produced by the Holy Spirit, EMPOWERS you by setting YOUR
FAITH FREE to DO the WORK of God when his WORD is HEARD!!!
“…Faith cometh by hearing … by the WORD of God” (Roman 10:17 KJV). ".…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit
in [y]our lives … [the FRUIT OF] FAITH….” (Galatians 5 NLT).
Remember “…It was BY FAITH that Noah [WAS EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO] BUILT A LARGE BOAT to save his family from the flood. He [FOLLOWED GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS], who warned him about things that had never happened before….” (Hebrews 11 NLT).
The Holy Spirit empowered Noah to do a WORK of Faith: he BUILT. The Holy Spirit empowered Noah’s work to be “clearly seen:” Noah built A BOAT. The Holy Spirit empowered Noah to be certain of the things he HOPED “FOR,” Noah EXPECTED his family to be SAVED from the flood and they WERE.
When the Holy Spirit works “FOR” you; you will be EMPOWERED you to HOPE in and EXPECT God - to DO whatever he has PROMISED in his WORD – until it comes to pass.“…you will abound in HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit…” (Romans 15:13 NASB).
… God, the source of HOPE, will fill you completely.... Then you will overflow with confident HOPE (confident expectancy) through the power of the Holy Spirit…” (Romans 15:13 NLT). “…And in the PROCESS of time IT CAME TO PASS…” (Genesis 4:3 KJV).
“…I will show you MY [empowering Spirit of] FAITH by my deeds (actions)...” (JAMES 2:18 NIV). God promised to SAVE Noah’s family from the flood 120 years BEFORE it actually happened AND God did. By depending upon the WORD of God, he heard, Noah built a boat that SAVED his family.
Every Believer willingly and voluntarily becomes a dependent upon God's WORD through the indwelling Holy Spirit that EMPOWERS them to LIVE by FAITH. “… I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless 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 2:20-21 KJV). ".... I LIVE BY THE FAITH "OF" THE SON OF GOD..." (Galatians 2:20-21 KJV). “…It is God who works in you…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “…The God of peace, … that great Shepherd of the sheep, … work[s] in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…The God of peace … that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip[s] you with everything good for doing his will…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). “….Apart from [the Holy Spirit], you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).
“…God who DOES the work IN and THROUGH all of us who are his. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT).“… [One of]…the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit is… FAITH…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [y]our lives ... faith….” (Galatians 5 NLT).
"... 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 … [WERE EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND] …. 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).
"…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [y]our lives … [THE FRUIT OF] … FAITH….” (Galatians 5 NLT).
Remember “…It was BY FAITH that Noah [WAS EMPOWERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO] BUILT A LARGE BOAT to save his family from the flood. He [FOLLOWED GOD'S INSTRUCTIONS], who warned him about things that had never happened before….” (Hebrews 11 NLT).
The Holy Spirit empowered Noah to do a WORK of Faith: he BUILT. The Holy Spirit empowered Noah’s work to be “clearly seen:” Noah built A BOAT. The Holy Spirit empowered Noah to be certain of the things he HOPED “FOR,” Noah EXPECTED his family to be SAVED from the flood and they WERE.
When the Holy Spirit works “IN” and "THROUGH" you it will
empower you to do something God has told you to DO. Noah built a boat to SAVE his family from the flood. “……God who DOES the work IN and THROUGH all of us who are his. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians
12:4-11 NLT).
When the Holy Spirit works “THROUGH” you it
will be “clearly seen” by your actions, because the Holy Spirit will DISPLAY God's POWER "through" you. Noah built a boat that
EVERYBODY could clearly see.
When the Holy Spirit works “FOR” you; you will be EMPOWERED you to HOPE in and EXPECT God - to DO whatever he has PROMISED in his WORD – until it comes to pass.“…you will abound in HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit…” (Romans 15:13 NASB).
… God, the source of HOPE, will fill you completely.... Then you will overflow with confident HOPE (confident expectancy) through the power of the Holy Spirit…” (Romans 15:13 NLT). “…And in the PROCESS of time IT CAME TO PASS…” (Genesis 4:3 KJV).

Every Believer willingly and voluntarily becomes a dependent upon God's WORD through the indwelling Holy Spirit that EMPOWERS them to LIVE by FAITH. “… I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless 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 2:20-21 KJV). ".... I LIVE BY THE FAITH "OF" THE SON OF GOD..." (Galatians 2:20-21 KJV). “…It is God who works in you…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “…The God of peace, … that great Shepherd of the sheep, … work[s] in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…The God of peace … that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip[s] you with everything good for doing his will…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). “….Apart from [the Holy Spirit], you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).
