FAITH: LIFESTYLE OF DOMINION

But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him – Hebrews 11:6

Faith is God’s Lifestyle. Faith is God’s Attitude. A Life of Faith births the Lifestyle of Dominion. Four times in the Bible, this truth is re-affirmed: “The just shall LIVE by FAITH” (Hab.2:4; Rom.1:17; Gal.3:11; Heb.10:38). Faith is not an option or elective in the University of Life; it is the Main Course! God lives, walks, and speaks Faith! We were saved by grace through FAITH. God expects us to live to please Him; to live as He lives – by Faith! Without Faith, it is IMPOSSIBLE to delight or please God. All of the heroes and heroines of Faith listed in Hebrews 11 were People of Dominion.

Faith is saying YES to the Word of God. It is the demonstration of absolute trust and confidence in the Word of God. Through His Word, God reveals His Person, His plans and His desires to you. As you come to know Him, He urges, “Trust Me.” You either trust Him or you don’t. If you don’t agree with what God says, you cannot please Him in any way. If you’ll be in control over life’s circumstances, you need to be on a higher plane than the natural situation, and only the Word of God that can keep you above all the mundane distractions. It is your faith that’ll draw out the hidden miracles in the Word.

Faith belongs to the heart (the spirit), rather than the head (the senses). Faith is the Sixth Sense – the Spirit sense – that enables you to remain at rest, in charge, in control, in dominion, even when life doesn’t seem to make sense. Faith is the Vision of the Invisible; it is your indispensable asset and access into a glorious destiny! Faith is the bulwark that keeps you strong even when you’re assailed by thoughts about what might happen or has happened. Faith is the leaning of your entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His Power, Wisdom, and Goodness.

Faith is the Life-Link: the vital spiritual connection between you and God that ensures the unlimited manifestation of His Purpose and Plan for your life. Where there is no faith, there is no connection to God and no productivity (Jh.15:5). Without faith, there is no future; only failure and frustration. Outside of Faith, dominion is deleted! Jesus prayed that Peter’s faith fail not (Lk.22:32). The alternative to Faith is Failure. When faith fails, the future is at risk. Faith is the Victory: “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the Victory that has overcome the world – our Faith” (1 Jh.5:4).
