Faith and Fear

 

Faith and Fear

Everyday we encounter these unseen substances as they make their way into our natural world.

Faith is a substance given to us by a God who is faithful.  Everyone has a measure of it.  This substance can put a demand on the unseen realm of His Kingdom within and His heavenly realms without calling things that are not as if they are. 

It is impossible to delight His heart without utilizing this substance of faith that He has given to all. Intimacy with Him brings a greater measure of accessing the substance of faith in your own life. Joyful relationship with Him causes faith to look for opportunities to see His realm manifest in your life. 

Fear is a substance that accesses the realm of the ruler of the prince of the air. The god of this age.  Fear is the counterfeit to faith.  Inspired fear, his substance of rebellion fills our earthly atmosphere.  It is easily accessible, and many participate.  

Faith when present is a substance unseen that has hope for all things good. Believing Him for His promises knowing that He is ever present and for you. 

Faith deployed leads to joyful encounters with Him. Faith is the connectivity that allows heaven to flow through you revealing the Christ the hope of all glory.

Fear is filled with slander, accusation, it hopes for nothing believing the worst. Fear denies intimacy and is critical finding fault blaming others and God for the poor outcomes that fear produces.  

Fear taps into our old nature and has nothing to do with our new nature in Christ. The substance of fear is utilized by others to rule, intimidate, control, and manipulate. 

A fresh anointing of fear was released into the world causing our current condition that we now see. This unseen substance of fear has changed the way many see life and do life.  

The fearful response released by media platforms, politicians concerning the virus forever changed the life of billions of people. Not for the better.  

Our current global economic situation is the direct result of the substance of fear being released and received by many people.

Causing an irrational belief system based on fear. Media, politicians, educators, elites have released so much fear into the world that hope and joyful expectation is missing from the human condition. 

The god of this age, the ruler of the prince of the air gladly anoints and encourages our use of his substance of fear to bring destruction, discord, choking out the light of God if that were possible. Deceit is an incantation that releases fear.

But enough of his unseen substance. How much greater is the authentic presence of His gift of faith. To release His goodness on the earth as it is released in heaven. Overcoming evil with the substance of faith being activated in you. Makes you an atmosphere changer as you get more and more comfortable utilizing faith.

Could tell you countless real stories of seeing faith released bringing a fresh revelation of His goodness into people’s lives. Even now, most recently I hear of stories of testimonials of God’s goodness in coming through on time in my local community but also stories you can hear on Sid Roth episodes. 

Faith is much more than seeing people healed, a word of knowledge, prophecy, encouragement. Faith brings the culture of heaven to earth. 

Authentic faith in the unseen realm brings a reality not of this world into our world. Hope, joy, love, kindness, generosity the good news of His kingdom gets released in good measure. It tangible, the substance of faith can be seen and tasted by what it produces.

We all get to choose which unseen substance we tap into.  We will tap into one or the other, sometimes both.  

May you get extremely comfortable utilizing the unseen substance of faith on deposit in you. Credits to John Kloos inspiration for this message.  As I write this. I myself have been through testing of faith. Even now through another transition moving a household.  God came through in the past. I'm reminded he will once again come through. He is moved by faith!  I'm choosing Faith over Fear. 🙏
