What, beloved, is the Power that will prevail in your life? What Power will enable you to cast out doubt and uncertainty? To banish fear and worry, and its distracting anxiety? Allow you to turn your burdens over to the Lord of Life and sleep restfully and peacefully, and to wake up refreshed and renewed? In spite of trying and normally unsettling circumstances?
There is only ONE Power, and that is the Power of Faith! But, whose Faith? For so few sincere Christians experience this Power! Why? Friend, it is primarily because they are attempting to exercise their own imperfect, prone-to-waver, faith. Listen carefully, then, to the Apostle Paul, and discover the secret he knew regarding Faith’s Power:
Gal. 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by — the Faith of the Son of God — Who loved me, and gave Himself for me.’ And, therein, lies the long sought, elusive, master key, if only we have the spiritual wisdom to see it! In fact, herein resides the Secret to the ‘Holy Grail’ of the Christian life. Note well, now, the following excerpted words:
Christ liveth in me: The Life I now live, I live by The Faith of the Son of God. It was not Paul’s faith, not his personal belief, that empowered him to preach the Glorious News with boldness. He did not say, ‘I live by my faith IN the Son of God’, but rather, ‘I live by THE Faith OF the Son of God.’ In other words, Jesus’ own personal Faith empowered him! There is a world of difference!
Most are unaware that to live a life of Victory and experience ongoing Peace and quiet Confidence in our lives, we must consciously receive a measure of Christ’s Faith, which never doubted! Allowing Him to exercise His Faith through us, we reap the rewards of Faith and Trust in God — A life of Inner Freedom and Joy! Ask for this, daily, and receive!
