THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH !

THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH ! We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken: we also believe, and therefore speak. . ." Notice that our text says we have, not going to have. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Corinthians 4:13 through 18). The unseen realm is the powerful realm. The unseen is governed by God's eternal principles and method. Here is the principle that God has ordained. God used it all through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. It's the kingdom principle that Jesus used in all of His earthly ministry. It's the principle of calling things that are not as though they were. We find the apostle Paul's account of God doing this in (Romans 4). Words either releases the spiritual force of faith or fear. "As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth (make alive) the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were." (Romans 4:17). God calls things that are not manifested as though they were manifest. Compare this with what the apostle Paul said, "God had chosen the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are." (1 Corinthians 1:28). This is God's method. Call for eternal forces that put to nought things that are seen. Call into manifestation the things that are not, and they will replace what is manifest. The apostle Paul said that we should overcome evil with good. When you start talking about calling things that are not as though they were, some people get the idea you are the denying what exists. Some believe that confessing the answer is denying the things that exist. But confessing the answer is not denying what exists; is the kingdom principle of calling things that are not as though they were. Many believers are religiously brainwashed into thinking that God wants them poor or sick destitute and next to complaining alley. God is good, the devil is bad; the dividing line between God and the devil is (John 10:10). "The thief cometh not but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they may have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." The devil wants to steal your health, your wealth, and your ability to glorify God !
