Violent Faith

In order to walk in the full reality of what the Bible calls, “our precious prize”, we must have the kind of faith that refuses to back down! That precious prize is our heavenly inheritance that comes from being an heir of the kingdom of God. It’s not just our access into heaven when our time on this earth is done.  It is a lifestyle of victory over our flesh, the devil, and every obstacle that would come between us and the reality of all God’s promises. From the time Jesus came to this earth to demonstrate the nature and kingdom of His Father, and destroy the work of the devil, there has been tremendous opposition against believers demonstrating that same violent faith. The devil and his evil cohorts are most certainly a defeated foe, however, only those who remain steadfast in their faith will have the confidence and strength to withstand him.  The Bible says the moment we become born-again; we receive the measure of faith – that is God’s Own perfect faith inside our re-born spirits! (Romans 12:3).  How do we have this immovable, tenacious, supernatural faith flow from our spirits into our lives so that we can resist the devil’s opposition and take a hold of our inheritance Jesus secured for us?  We do this by developing a thorough and consistent lifestyle of prayer, study of the Scriptures, and worship. As we do this, there will be a steady flow of supernatural faith, life, and power from our spirit-man into every thought and emotion. That flow will cause us to stand strong in the face of adversity and boldly declare and demonstrate God’s kingdom ways of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost – just as Jesus did! This is your inheritance, contend for it with violent faith today!
