God gives us the measure of His faith so that we can do what he has asked us to do in life. Jesus did not die so we can struggle. He died so that we might live a happy life and God gives us the faith to be able to do that.
The moment you decide to fully trust in God, so many issues and events can be healed and resolved. We need to learn and understand how important the childlike faith is in life so that we can experience pure peace and joy. Examples of faith on the simplest level would be things like parking your car somewhere fully expecting it to still be there upon your return. We operate in faith constantly. We use it so much each day but when it comes to putting our faith in God we find it so hard. In order to achieve and maintain faith in God we need to keep going over Scripture. Paul said that he never got tired of telling people the same message over and over because it rekindled his listeners faith and stirred them up.
If you are confused or worried then you are not operating by faith, especially about the thing that is making you confused or worried in the first place. But the moment that you put your trust in God the confusion will go and you will no longer have to deliberate about sorting the issue out. God will see to it.
Everyone has faith, but not everyone releases it. Faith is a powerful force, it is the only thing that allows you to enter the rest of God. Place total trust in God and you will never have to worry again. There are many changes in life that only God can do. Hand the reins over to Him. The best way to stop worrying, being jealous, upset and so on is to work things out by studying the Word. But few of us do this. Instead, we try to work things out our own way, usually getting it wrong and at the point that we give in we need to surrender to God. Let Him do any work in you that he wants to or needs to. Trust God to do what He says He will, things that only He can do and in His own way. Learn to learn to lean and rely on Him through your faith. The ability to be able to lean on someone so great is amazing. It takes the pressure off you and allows you to start enjoying your life.
"I live by faith in the Son of God" (Galatians 2:20). We come into the Kingdom by faith and we trust by faith but we still live in misery, thinking that we are constantly under attack. There is no need for your life to be controlled by your issues. We have the strength to get through them by Christ Jesus so use it.
Releasing your faith is not a one off action, it is a continual process. God will bring us what we need but in His own time. If He chooses not to deliver us from something, He will instead give us the strength to get through it with a smile on our face. Faith in God needs to be constant, not just when we are faced with a sudden crisis. This is not true faith.
"The righteous will live by faith" (Romans 1:17). Faith grows by using what you have. Sometimes there are issues that need to be worked through before you can see how great God is. Without humility, you will not be victorious in faith as you still have the mindset of that you can do it yourself and do not need to lean and rely on God.
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:23-24). In God's economy you have to believe before you receive. You don't get it first then believe that you have got it, as that takes no faith. Pray and put faith in God to ensure that things go right for you.
In order to release faith you first need to pray for what you want, tell God what you need. Next you need to keep saying to yourself that you know that what you want is on its way. Finally, you need to forgive others. If you don't then God cannot forgive you and give you what you want. (Praying, saying, doing).
One of God's great passions is peace, and he expects us to share that passion and do whatever we can to spread the peace. Where there is peace there is blessing. Where there is peace and unity there is anointing. The power of God is clearly there at work. We need to do what we can to be peacemakers. This makes us true Sons of God.
"Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). We can get something in the spiritual realm before we get it in the physical. But people always, always want physical proof, deeds, paperwork and so on. There is no faith. But faith is the spiritual deed that we have of the proof of what God has given us.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). We need to have faith in God in order to succeed in this life.
