Faith
- The perceiving power of the mind
linked wit the power to shape substance. Spiritual assurance; the
power to do the seemingly impossible. It is a magnetic power tat
draws unto us our heart's desire from the invisible spiritual
substance. Fait is a deep inner knowing that which is sought is
already ours for the taking. "Now faith is assurance of things
hoped for" (Heb. 11:1). A close analysis shows that faith is
the foundation of all that man does. Jesus spoke of a new condition
for the upliftment of the race, He called it the "kingdom of
the heavens." He said it must be built upon the foundation
typified by Peter (rock), who represents faith. This is proof that
faith is closely related to the enduring, firm unyielding forms is a key
to spiritual realization. "According to your fait be it done unto
you" (Matt, 9:29). Faith in God is the substance of
existence. The have faith in God is to have the faith of
God. We must have faith in God as our Father and source
of all the good we desire. Faith is more than mere belief; It is te
very substance of that which believed. It works by love. Thoughts
of condemnation, enmity, and resistance must be released and divine love
declared; then fait must be released. Faith working in spiritual
substance accomplish all things. This is the fait that co-operates
wit creative law. When it finds it abode; under divine law, without
variation or disappoint, it brings results that are seemingly miraculous.
Faith
of Jesus - Jesus did claim an
exclusion supernatural power, which we usually accredit too Him. He
ad explored the ether energy, which He called the "Kingdom of the
heavens"; His understanding was beyond that of the average man.
However, He knew and said that other men could do what He did if they
would only have faith. He encouraged His followers to take Him as a
pattern and to use the power of thought and word. Divine healing is
due to the application of the same law that Jesus used. In most
instances, He demanded faith on the part of those He healed; and with this
faith as a point of mental and spiritual contact. He released the
latent energy in the atomic structure of the ones in need of healing, and
they were restored to life and health. "He that believeth on
me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these
shall he do" (Jon 4:12)

foundation for faith.
