Is Your Faith Moving?

 

After studying the fruits of the spirit for my children's class I came to the fruit of the Spirit called Faith. 

Most of you would associate this one with Faithfulness, depending on the verse you read, or which Christian children's song you grew up on. 

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,"

Gal. 5:22

Faithfulness is the external response to faith working inside you.  Faith is your belief in the father being put into action. It is the very thing that leads you to salvation. 

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Hebrews 11:6

It is faith that gives us a proper perspective and brings us an understanding of the workings of the world.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear"

Heb 11:1–3.

Faith is what brings you peace of mind and comfort in the coming times.

"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."

Heb 11:13–16.

These are all active responses to the eternal changes that come with faith in the Father. So my question is this for you, What type of Faith do you have? Are you seeing these types going on around you? No? Then why? What is going on in your faith life that could be hindering these changes? If yes, then praise God and go help others experience these changes for themselves.  The faith we see in the bible and the faith we experience should be one and the same we need to share that with others.
