God Thinking LXV - Alive Faith 7

"Alive faith is ready to receive - always looking with expectation that somehow God will reach them.

Alive faith is always mining for a nugget of truth or a gem of revelation knowing that God has hidden the better things, (not to discourage us) but so that the will explore Him even deeper.

Alive faith listens carefully when the Word is read and places it over their situations - over their problems - over their circumstances - over their obstacles - over their barriers trusting that God has allowed whatever is in your path, and that in it you become more like God.

Alive faith isn’t satisfied with being tickled.  Alive faith wants  to be inspired and moved.

Alive faith is hungry for food for the soul. 

Alive faith speaks to the demons of life and commands them to go elsewhere.

Alive faith is that kind of faith that God can take and  increase and expand the simplest opportunity into a magnificent panorama of possibilities.

Alive faith makes the recipient glow with confidence and assurance, because alive faith works (in relation to, not separation from) God Himself.

 

Alive faith doesn’t have time to put others down, because it is too busy building them up.

 

Alive faith as the writer of Hebrews so perfectly exhorts:

Hebrews 11:3

 3.  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."

Alive faith is beside the outcome.

Above the naysayer

Believes the impossible

Alive faith is the kind you want to be accused of.

God can take your whole life and turn it all around with just a little alive faith.  Do you believe it?
