Kingdom Living

Depositing Faith
Faith is a currency in the kingdom of God. In the physical, we see the things our money gets us when we choose to purchase things or deposit it into something. The kingdom of God is the same way. In order for things to land in the palm of your hands or things to change in your favor, you must deposit your faith(it's a currency). The word tells us "Without faith it is impossible to please God" Hebrews 11:6. How are we going to please God when we're doubting his hand and sovereignty? God is ALREADY aware that we cannot see him so he's expecting that deposit of faith in him because faith is a spiritual thing for the simple fact that we cannot see faith (it's intangible) We are called to "Walk by faith and not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7) for a reason. Why would God require that if he didn't know that we would have doubts about his capabilities and multifaceted ways? If he didn't know that we would be led by what we physically see rather than seeing things from a spiritual and bigger lenses? Moreover, From a perspective that ALL things can be changed by what we believe and who decide to put our faith in?
Reading is the repository of all faith. The word states "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10:17. If you're not in your word letting the things of God consume your mind -- How are you building your faith? How are you keeping an optimistic mindset? How are you keeping your mind set on everything true about yourself and God? Let me reemphasize to you exactly what the word says about everything God declares or has already spoken. "For you have magnified your word above your name" Psalm 138:2 Meaning God has set his word above his name. His word will not waver, turn back void, or contradict itself. The word of God is exalted to the highest position on this earth and in heaven. We as believers ought to dwell in it because that is what shapes and sharpens not only our character but our faith. It is in God's wills to enlarge you in all areas of life so when trials come about to test your faith -- allow God to show you what he's doing rather than feeling damned because things aren't going in your favor in that particular MOMENT.
The word says " Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness" James 1:2. So, It is biblical that all troubles don't come from the devil nor are permitted by God in order to cause defeat(as in his protection isn't over your life to guard you from the snares of the devil). Many trials can be permitted from God in order to sharpen your faith in a particular area and test you to see if you will apply his word to breathe life into a seemingly deadly circumstance. God sent his spirit out in this world to be used for guidance, wisdom, discernment, & the greatest leverage to success. The word states in Isaiah 11:2 "And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord". Hone into the word and the spirit of God that increases your faith, you who are reading this. Your faith can be as wild and crazy as it wants (theirs no limits to faith) however it will always be undergirded by wisdom. I encourage you to keep pushing in hope and faith for the kingdom of God, Endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ, apply yourself to be more disciplined in the word of God, and also apply what you've read/learned from the word to every test that raises up in your life. You counteract attacks and trials with the word of God; It is a weapon in the spirit realm.
There's so much that you who owns a credit card, phone, and material possessions can do. The people in the Bible made better sacrifices than most of us today though they were limited in physical resources. When the people of the Bible found a pearl, They invested and were willing to go lengths to get what they didn't have, needed, or perceived to be of value. That should encourage you to never build up small faith. If they could make mountains move and get God to act on their behalf , so can you.
