YOU ALREADY HAVE GREAT FAITH; USE IT!!

                                                                                         

THE FRUIT OF FAITH IS PRODUCED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT; NOT YOU!

"....[ONE OF]… THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT... IS FAITH..." (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "...THE HOLY SPIRIT PRODUCES THIS KIND OF FRUIT IN YOUR LIVES... FAITH... "(Galatians 5:22-23 NLT).

*

Faith is often a hard concept to grasp. People often want MORE faith; GREATER FAITH, or INCREASED faith, but you ALREADY have ALL the FAITH you will ever NEED, but you simple need to USE it. One of the FRUIT of the indwelling HOLY SPIRIT is.. GUESS WHAT?..... FAITH. WHERE DID IT COME FROM? “….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).

The indwelling “fruit of faith, from God, produced by the Holy Spirit, is the perspective of faith, this blog takes and believes to be the assurance, certainty, or confidence of things hoped for and evidence or proof of things not YET seen. “…Now FAITH “IS” the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). 

IF GOD SUPPLIES "ALL" YOUR NEEDS, DOES HE SUPPLY YOUR NEED FOR FAITH?“…God shall supply ALL YOUR NEED … BY (through) Christ Jesus (the indwelling Holy Spirit)…

” (Philippians 4:19 KJV). HOW DOES GOD SUPPLIES YOU WITH FAITH? “…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). WHAT DOES THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT "DO" TO SUPPLY FAITH? “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [y]our lives … FAITH….(GALATIONS 5:22-23 NLT).

” (Galatians 5 NLT). HOW DOES THE HOLY PRODUCE THIS "KIND" OF FAITH IN YOUR LIFE? “… [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).

THE "FRUIT OF FAITH" PRODUCED BY THE GIFT OF THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT, WHEN THE WORD OF GOD IS HEARD, IS AN ADDITIONAL GIFT. “…You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit….” (Acts 2:38 NASB). “… It is … Holy Spirit who gives all these [OTHER] ... 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…” (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 OF FAITH 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 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 … FAITH…" (Galations 5:22-23 NLT).“… It is … Holy Spirit who gives all these gifts and POWERS… (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). 

From this perspective, the FRUIT OF Faith is God’s GIFT. “… FAITH “IS” …” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). “…The fruit of the Spirit is …faith…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). “…The measure of faith...” (Romans 12:3 KJV). “….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV).

According to the following scripture, spiritual FAITH, depends upon HEARING God’s WORD. “… [The indwelling fruit of] …Faith cometh (or is produced) by HEARING… the WORD of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV). HEARING God’s word ACTIVATES or PRODUCES the Hebrews 11:1 faith, within the believer, through the indwelling POWER of the Holy Spirit. “…According to the POWER (the Holy Spirit power) that works WITHIN us…” (Ephesians 3:20 NASB). “…God … does the work IN and THROUGH all of us who are his. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power  (of indwelling FAITH) THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…It is God who works in you…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).

When the indwelling “fruit of Faith,” produced by the Holy Spirit, empowers YOU; it is experienced as complete dependence upon God, to do the WORK,  “IN” and “THROUGH” you. …It is God who works (empowers the fruit of faith) in you…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV). “…God … does the work IN and THROUGH all of us who are his. The HOLY SPIRIT DISPLAYS God’s power  (of indwelling FAITH) THROUGH each of us … (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NLT). “…It is God who works in you…” (Philippians 2:13 NIV).“…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 Father that dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

When common human faith motivates people it is dependent on non-spiritual principles, words, or values, human reason, established bodies of human knowledge, human logic, or scientific theories. However, without God’s WORD, the Hebrews 11:1 faith is not activated. .“…[The indwelling fruit of] Faith cometh by HEARING… the word of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV). “…Human effort (human faith) accomplishes nothing….” (John 6:63 NLT). “….Don't put your confidence in … people [human faith, effort, etc.]… there is NO HELP for you there….” (Psalms 146: 3 NLT). “…It is impossible to please God without (the indwelling fruit of) FAITH (produced by the Holy Spirit)…” (Hebrews 11:6 NLT). "…That which is born of the flesh is flesh (is produced by the flesh); and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (is produced by the Holy Spirit)…” (John 3:6 KJV).

Human faith is often experienced as trust in one’s OWN humanity, understanding OR someone else’s character, words, nature, logic, reason, knowledge, or behavior. “… LEAN NOT unto thine own understanding…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning…” (Romans 15:4 KJV). “ … Paul stood up in their midst and said, “Men, you ought to have followed my advice …” (Acts 27:21 NASB).

When the indwelling “fruit of Faith,” produced by the Holy Spirit, empowers YOU it will depend upon you hearing the WORD of God to become ACTIVATED. It is experienced and witnessed as a strong dependence upon the WORD and dependence upon the indwelling Holy Spirit to DO the WORK of FAITH "IN" and "THROUGH" you. “…Trust in (depend upon) the Lord (the word) with ALL thine heart…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

Faith, of any kind, is a system of belief that usually involves an absolute trust in or dependence upon a person, a thing, or an idea, perspectives, and concepts. “…He… [completely] … entrusted himself to him who judges justly…” (1 Peter 2:19-23 NIV).

Faith, of any kind, is usually a personal unwavering conviction about certain religious truths, or human truths or facts. “…Abraham believed (depended upon) God…” (James 2:18-24 NIV).

Faith is the opposite of disbelief and is therefore motivated by confident trust in or dependence upon “A” person, “A” thing, or ideas, perceptions, and concepts. “…Trust in (or depend upon) the Lord with ALL …” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).

Faith, of any kind, is a FIRM, sincere, and confident belief in one’s OBJECT of FAITH; whatever “IT” is or whoever “IT” is. “…Abraham believed (depended upon) God (his object of faith), and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called God’s friend…” (James 2:18-24 NIV).

People struggle with their faith in God or dependency upon God. Most people think faith in God or dependency upon God relies totally upon their human effort.

However, human effort often takes believers on the path of uncertainty, ambiguity, insecurity, or doubt at times. “…I DO believe (depend upon God); help me overcome my unbelief (my lack of dependency upon him)!” (Mark 9:24 NIV).

This blog will basically discuss the Hebrew 11:1 faith, or the indwelling fruit of Faith, produced by the Holy Spirit, which is GIVEN to YOU as a GIFT. “…[One of]… the fruit of the Spirit is …faith…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV).“…You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit….” (Acts 2:38 NASB). “… It is … Holy Spirit who gives all these [OTHER] ... 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…” (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 OF FAITH 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).

Human faith is experienced as human-effort and usually DEPENDS upon things or people from the natural world as OBJECTS of FAITH. “… [Thus] apart from … [the indwelling Holy Spirit] you can do nothing…” (John 15:5 NIV).

Faith (trust, dependency), human or the fruit of faith, is empowered by something or someone. For the believer, trust in or dependency upon God requires absolute and total in his WORD. ^“….The decrees (WORDS) of the Lord are TRUSTWORTHY, making wise the simple…” (PSALM 19:7 NLT).  “…All your commands are TRUSTWORTHY…” (PSALM 119:86 NLT). “…your laws are perfect and completely TRUSTWORTHY…. “ (PSALMS 119:138 NLT). “…This hope is a strong and TRUSTWORTHY anchor for our souls…” (HEBREWS 6:19 NLT). “Everything you have heard and seen is TRUSTWORTHY and true…” (REVELATION 22:6 NLT).

The indwelling fruit of faith, produced by the Holy Spirit, empowers YOU to depend upon God's WORD and fills you with the hope or expectancy that God "WILL" do what his Word says he will do. “… [God is]… WATCHING OVER [HIS] WORD TO PERFORM IT …” (Jeremiah 1:12 NASB). “…So shall 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).  “…Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; ALL CAME TO PASS…” (Joshua 21:45 NASB). 

People who have PROVEN they are reliable and trustworthy, to YOU, become the ones you come to depend upon. It may be EASY to HOPE in them, without fear of disappointment, that your expectancy will be fulfilled. “… HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT… (ROMANS 5:5 NASB). “…For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED…" (ROMANS 10:11 NASB). “… HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED… (ROMANS 9:33 NASB). “…In You they trusted and WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED…. (PSALMS 22:5 NASB).

A dependable and trustworthy person is a SAFE choice for entrusting your complete self to them. “…He… [completely] … entrusted himself to him who judges justly…” (1 Peter 2:19-23 NIV).

A dependable and trustworthy person becomes more and more TRUSTWORTHY every time they PROVE their reliability. “…Not one of the good promises which the Lord had made to the house of Israel failed; ALL CAME TO PASS…” (Joshua 21:45 NASB). 

When faith in or dependency upon a person grows it becomes more than knowledge about their trustworthiness; it becomes experience. “… HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT… (ROMANS 5:5 NASB). ““…In You they trusted and WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED…. (PSALMS 22:5 NASB).

Experience develops into a deeper, more committed dependability or faith in “that”  person. Job had a committed dependability upon God and he said, “…Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him…” (Job 13:15 KJV).

Faith in or dependency upon a trustworthy person, grows and develops into complete (ALL) reliance based upon their PROVEN RECORD. “…Trust in the Lord with all thine heart…” (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV). “…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).

“…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). 

Once a PROVEN RECORD is established, it becomes easier to make a confident and personal commitment to trust in or depend upon “that” PERSON. “…The LORD “WILL” accomplish (take care of)…that which concerns [you]…” (John 14:31 NASB). “...Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 KJV).  

Once a PROVEN RECORD is established in a person, especially over a LONG period of time; they become a TRUSTWORTHY OBJECT of your trust or dependency.  “….IS THERE ANY ROCK (TRUSTWORTHY) LIKE OUR GOD…..” (1 SAMUEL 2:2 KJV). “…All he does is just and good, and all his commandments are TRUSTWORTHY….” (PSALMS 111:7 NLT). “…Not one of all the LORD's good promises … failed; every one was fulfilled” (Joshua 21:45 NIV).

 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 (or depended upon the trustworthiness of 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).

Yet, God told him to sacrifice his only son on the altar. You may wonder, like I did, if Abraham sacrifices his son on the altar, how will he become a GREAT nation through Isaac. After all, he is already past 99 years old. Well, “…Abraham believed God (depended upon the trustworthiness of God's WORD)…” (James 2:18-24 NIV)..

“…It was BY FAITH (by dependency upon the trustworthiness of God's WORD) 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.”  (WHAT WAS ABRAHAM EMPOWERED TO EXPECT GOD TO DO?) 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 God (DEPENDED UPON GOD'S WORD)…” (James 2:18-24 NIV). “…Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping (EXPECTING)--believing (DEPENDING) that he would become the father of many nations. For GOD HAD SAID TO HIM (Given his WORD to him), "That's how many descendants you will have!" (Romans 4:18 NLT).

To this day, everyone who has faith in God (dependency upon God), like Abraham did, is considered Abraham’s seed. “…Understand, then, that those who HAVE FAITH (dependency upon God's WORD) 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 (rely on dependency upon God) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith…” (Galatians 3: 7-9 NIV).

Abraham was empowered to have unwavering faith in God (unwavering dependency upon God). “…It was BY FAITH  (by EMPOWERED faith) that ABRAHAM OFFERED UP ISAAC ….…” (Hebrews 11 NLT). "…Abraham believed God (depended upon God's WORD)…” (James 2:18-24 NIV). “…Even when there was no reason for hope (no expectancy for God to give him descendants through Issac), Abraham kept hoping (expecting)—believing.(depending).." (Romans 4:18 NLT). "…Abraham believed God…” (James 2:18-24 NIV). 

Abraham was empowered with a supernatural FAITH or dependency upon God that enabled him to be willing to sacrifice his only son while "STILL" expecting that God would STILL make him a GREAT nation through Isaac. “…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).

The object of Abraham’s faith was God, THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS WORD. “…It was BY FAITH (BY EMPOWERED FAITH) 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).

Human faith depends upon a person’s OWN human effort whereas the FRUIT of Faith, which is produced by the Holy Spirit, depends upon the indwelling WORK of the Holy Spirit.

When you depend upon the indwelling "fruit of faith" doubt WILL NOT impact your dependency upon God; the Holy Spirit will ALWAYS generously supply or provide ALL you need.“…God is the one who provides …” (2 Corinthians 9:10-13 KJV).  “…God will generously PROVIDE all you need. (all the faith you need) Then you will ALWAYS have everything you need and plenty left over to “SHARE” WITH OTHERS…” (2 Corinthians 9:8 NLT) “…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 God [is] that ye believe on him  (that you depend upon him) whom he hath sent (which is HIS WORD).” (John 6:29 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [YOU], he doeth the works (he doeth the work of empowering faith)…” (John 14:10 KJV). Therefore, “…YOU MUST BELIEVE (depend upon God) AND NOT DOUBT….” (James 1:6-8 NIV).  Doubt is inundated with uncertainty, skepticism, double-mindedness, instability, hesitancy, or distrust. “…A double minded man is unstable in all his ways….” (James 1:8 KJV).

Doubt comes YOU choose to believe or rely upon the perspective that no one, not even God or his WORD, is dependable or trustworthy. "…Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and DOES NOT DOUBT in their heart but believes (depends) that what they say will happen, it will be done for them….” (MARKS 11:23 NIV).

Hebrews 11:1 faith, or the indwelling “fruit of faith,” produced by the Holy Spirit, is meant to empower assurance or a certainty of things “hoped for.” Doubt, on the other hand, produced by all things human, WILL empower or influence the uncertainty of things “hoped for. Thus, God “…The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in [y]our lives … FAITH….(GALATIONS 5:22-23 NLT).“….IT IS THE “GIFT” OF GOD…” (Ephesians 2:8-9 ASV). “…WALK BY [THAT]…FAITH...” (2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV). “…IT SHALL BE DONE TO YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR [indwelling fruit of]…FAITH…” (MATTHEW 9:29 NASB).  

Human faith enables a person to depend upon self-effort, human places, things, plans, or established ideas, truths, perceptions, or concepts that are based on the limited knowledge of human reason, scientific facts, or logic. “…Human effort (of any kind) accomplishes nothing (spiritual)….” (John 6:63 NLT). “….Don't put your confidence in … people [human limitation]… there is NO HELP for you there….” (Psalms 146: 3 NLT). “…It is impossible TO PLEASE God without (the indwelling fruit of) FAITH (that why he GAVE you the fruit of faith)…” (Hebrews 11:6 NLT). Therefore, “… The God of peace … that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip[s] you with everything good (the indwelling fruit of faith) for doing his will, and …work[s] in [you]… what is PLEASING to him, through Jesus Christ…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV)

“… [YOU] can do all things (be empowered by the fruit of faith) THROUGH Christ (the WORD of God) which strengtheneth [them]…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). “…The righteous will live by his faith…” (Habakkuk 2:4 NASB). “… [You] live by the faith of the Son of God.   …” (Galatians 2:20 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [you] he doeth the works (he does the work of EMPOWERING your fruit of faith)…” (John 14:10 KJV). HOW HE EMPOWER MY FRUIT OF FAITH? “…Faith (THE FRUIT OF FAITH) cometh by HEARING… THE WORD of God…” (Roman 10:17 KJV). 

Hebrews 11:1 faith, or the  indwelling “fruit of faith,” produced by the Holy Spirit, empowers YOU, to put complete hope or expectancy in God to DO what his WORD says he will do.

The HOLY SPIRIT is activated and starts producing the fruit of faith when it HEARS the Word of God, but the believer chooses to willfully depend upon the indwelling HOLY SPIRIT to do the WORK. “….God [the indwelling Holy Spirit]… 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). “…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…” (Ephesians 3:16 KJV). “…I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). SHOUT!!!

When you CHOOSE to depend upon God, the indwelling "fruit of faith, produced by the Holy Spirit, will empower You to rely upon God's WORD, regardless of what else is happening or is said to the contrary. “…Now FAITH IS (dependency upon God is) the substance (assurance, certainty, etc.) of things hoped for (expected from God), the evidence  (PROOF) of things not seen…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).

When you CHOOSE to depend upon God, the indwelling "fruit of faith, produced by the Holy Spirit, will empower You to rely upon God's WORD, without wavering; expecting that what you “hope for” "WILL" eventually come to pass. “…And in PROCESS of time IT CAME TO PASS…” (Genesis 4:3 KJV).

When you CHOOSE to depend upon God, the indwelling "fruit of faith, produced by the Holy Spirit, will empower You to rely upon God's FOR a FAVORABLE OUTCOME knowing NOTHING is too hard for him. “….I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV).

When you CHOOSE to depend upon God, the indwelling "fruit of faith, produced by the Holy Spirit, will empower You to “…WALK BY FAITH...” (2 Corinthians 5:7 KJV).

Having some level of human faith is a natural part of life. You need some level of human faith to sit down in a chair, drive a car, to feel safe in your home, to believe that the water you’re drinking is drinkable water, or that the food you eat from the store is safe.

Human faith depends, whether you are aware of it or not, regularly on the air that is breathed, the ability to walk, run, talk, be independent, and to make decisions for your life.

Some level of human faith makes life a lot easier. It is much easier to get in a car and depend upon that care to drive safely from one place to another. It is much easier to bring food home from the grocery stores to feed yourself and your families and depend upon that food to be SAFE for yourself and family to consume.

Some level of human faith, therefore, is necessary to have a healthy life with reduced stress. So many things people depend upon are taken for granted such as; breathing, walking, talking, independence, or the gift of time. Without some level of faith or dependence in life; it can be unfulfilling, overbearing unhealthy, burdensome, discouraging, restrictive, and full of fear.

Without some level of dependence , all that is left is doubt in just about everything. Doubt produces uncertainty, fear, negative perspectives and expectations of life. Without some level of human faith in daily life; life can be filled or consumed with UNCERTAINTY and FEAR MOST of the time.

Some kind of faith or dependency is used every single day of your life. However,  the problem with human faith or dependency, upon the world, is that it altars , oscillates, and wavers, every time you blink your eyes. The indwelling fruit of Faith, produced by the Holy Spirit ,never loses its ABILITY to EMPOWER YOU to HOPE or EXPECT God to DO what he SAYS he will DO. “…God is Spirit …” (John 4:24 KJV). “…I am the Lord, I change NOT…” (Malachi 3:6 KJV).   “…The Spirit of God dwell in you…” (Romans 8:9 KJV). “…the Father that dwelleth in [you], he doeth the works…” (John 14:10 KJV).

Human faith relies upon all things HUMAN and places dependency upon temporary resources that don’t and won’t last forever. “…after a while the brook dried up ….” (1 KINGS 17:1-7 NLT). “…So the people of Israel ate manna for forty years until…” (Exodus 16 NLT). 

Human faith has NO ABILITY to empower you to have HOPE in GOD, because it is and has been dominated by SIN.“…The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do (have faith in God) what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.  And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do  (have faith in God )what is right, but I can’t. I want to do (have faith in God) what is good, but I don’t.

I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway. I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do (have faith in God) what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong.  I [am] …a slave to the sin (the human faith) that is … within me. Oh, what a miserable person I am!” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).

“…Who will free me from this life that is dominated by [fallen human faith] sin?” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).

“…Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT).

Therefore, “… [May God] … grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might  (the fruit of faith) by his [indwelling Holy] Spirit in the inner man…” (Ephesians 3:16 KJV). ^“…May the God of peace, … that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with (the fruit of faith and) everything good for doing his will…” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). ^“…May the God of peace, … that great Shepherd of the sheep …work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ” (Hebrews 13:20-21 NIV). “…For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure…” (Philippians 2:13 KJV

“…I can do ALL THINGS through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians 4:13 KJV). “…by the grace of God I am what I am…” (1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV).

BY THE GRACE (UNMERITED FAVOR) OF GOD; I HAVE THE FRUIT OF FAITH, PRODUCED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHEN THE WORD OF GOD IS HEARD. THEREFORE, I CAN DO ALL THINGS "THROUGH" CHRIST, THE WORD, WHICH STRENGTHENS ME WITH INDWELLING FAITH TO DEPEND UPON GOD AND EXPECT HIM TO DO WHAT HIS WORD SAYS HE WILL DO.

I HAVE FAITH. I AM A WOMAN (MAN) OF FAITH. GOD SUPPLIES ALL I NEED, GENEROUSLY, INCLUDING MY NEED FOR FAITH!

THE FRUIT OF FAITH, PRODUCED BY THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT, empowers you to depend upon God, the Holy Spirit. GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT is the object of your faith that and NEVER changes, oscillates, wavers, alters, or becomes uncertain. Therefore, you can DEPEND upon God, the HOLY SPIRIT with absolutely certainty that he will never let you down.“… FAITH IS (empowered dependency upon God is) the substance (CERTAINTY) of things hoped for (EXPECTED)…” (Hebrews 11:1 KJV). “… FAITH IS (empowered dependency upon God is) … the evidence (PROOF) of things not seen…” (Hebrews 11:1 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).

However, the OBJECT of Faith that you depend upon or trust in will be the OBJECT of Faith that produces the results of your HOPE or EXPECTATION. “…IT SHALL [always]… BE DONE TO YOU ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH (to WHOM you depend upon on)…” (MATTHEW 9:29 NASB).  who are you depending upon?

who or whatever you are depending upon will producing the results of your expectancies in life.

according to who or what you are depending; upon it is being done for you accordingly!
