INCREASED FAITH OR UNDERSTANDING KNOWLEDGE/GOD?

Is there actually such a thing as.. increased faith.. or were the apostles lacking understanding on the subject of faith?.. Jeremiah 3:15.

Faith does not increase in itself however we are able by the grace of God to receive a clearer view of what we have been given if we would dare believe. The substance faith, never changes neither will the measure that Father has given each and every one of us… Romans 12:3, Hebrews 5:14.

Hence, faith does not increase but we come to realize or get a revelation of what God has given us as we obey the commands of our Lord… example Luke 17:10. At the cross I found forgiveness, at the cross I found a friend, at the cross I found Lord Jesus, at the cross I found myself.

Well, you can get off the million dollar merry-go-round today friend and follow the Christ and you too will come to see that.. faith is the only key card you need to access the things of God… Hebrews 11:4-40.

Romans 5:2.. tells us of accessing the awesome grace of Yahweh by faith and then standing in it or staying in it and not running back to the beggarly.. world, sin, lying and the flesh… Romans 11:22, James 2:14-26.

Therefore the making of money and striving to be a millionaire to finance the poor church is but a fallacy, unless of course God’s grace is not sufficient? And I believe that the apostles (at this time in their walk) were still coming to terms with the .. way!.. James 2:5, 2 Corinth 12:9-11.

Yes, dear reader, God’s ways are most certainly not the ways of the carnal, the Pharisee or the tower of babel builders. Father makes it all so clear in His book/holy bible, that… He is above all and we are below but don’t tell this to the hierarchy, they might set upon you… Acts 6:8-15.

What we are looking at among professing Christian teachers and their followers is… a whole lot of people waiting for Jesus to increase their faith and Jesus is waiting for them to obey Him. It is when we obey that the substance and measure of faith Father has allotted us begins to rise up and we start to lay hold of that which He has already (at the cross) laid hold of for us. Kind David said this… What am I waiting for? Psalm 39:7.

To say, increase our faith is to say you don’t yet understand that God has already provided you with all you need to do that which He has called you to do and even more than that. This is why the prophecy says… with shouts of Grace! Grace! By His Spirit. Grace to be free from sin, grace to be a saint, grace to overcome all obstacles, grace to accept truth, grace to be finally saved from the wrath to come and hell fire… Zechariah 4:6,7. My people perish through lack of knowledge. 2 Corinth 10:15 mentions increased faith, meaning.. as they grow in the faith, reference understanding and knowledge.

Amen.
