Faith Coupled with

Faith is substance, says Hebrews 11:1. The word substance is important when considering the concept of faith. Faith by itself can be arrogant. Faith coupled with love is powerful. Faith mixed with patience and love and connected to the Word (Jesus) is life changing.

Faith is merely trusting in God, no matter what comes my way. But, faith is only a channel through which God blesses me. Faith always has an object. The object of the believer's faith is Jesus Christ. You see if I harp too much on faith, believers might get the impression that faith stands alone. They might think that faith itself is God, and it is not. It is only my connection to God through Jesus Christ my Lord. And this is important.

Know this also, I can't release faith unless the Spirit of God moves through me. I choose to release my faith in God by the help of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is sent from the Father and the Son to help me. He helps me pray. He helps me see clearly the path before me. He helps me trust ...
... God through everything.

You see if I elevate faith above Christ, faith becomes my god. Don't get me wrong. Faith is basic to Christianity but if it stands alone, it is nothing more than arrogance. I've heard some Christians say, If he had faith, he wouldn't get sick. I've also heard well meaning Christians say, I'm healed by faith. I don't need a doctor's opinion or prescription medicine. These statements display spiritual arrogance. I believe in faith healing, but the faith must be attached to the Healer—Jesus Christ. I believe the Word of God works by faith but, again, my faith is attached to something greater—the Living Word of God, Jesus Christ. So what else does the Bible say about faith?

The Bible has a whole bunch to say about faith. The Bible states plainly that faith works by love. It also says that faith must be accompanied by patience.

So, here's a simple equation: It is Faith,+patience,+love,+Jesus = life, godly success, and godly prosperity. Remember this simple formula and you will discover life. God promises.

Keep the faith. Stay the course. Jesus is coming soon.
