Learn to let faith fly like a kite in the wind of God’s Spirit blowing within you. (John 3:8) Let your trust in God rise higher and higher.

Faith is the defiance of self-focus. (Matthew 16:24) It is total reliance and dependence on God. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Faith is to exchange personal independence for unending compliance and alliance with God’s will. (Galatians 2:20) It is to continually surrender to the resplendence of “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” and to be daily led by His Spirit. (Romans 8:14)

Faith is so much more than mere religious belief. It is “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)

Faith without action is dead distraction from discipleship. (James 2:26) Let God the Holy Spirit train you throughout each day to “live by faith.” (Galatians 3:11) Learn to “walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)

Faith is something that you do as you interact with God. It’s not a formalized religious meeting.

How many sermons does it take before church members begin to fully embrace the faith to deny themselves, daily crucify their desires, and follow Jesus instead of their own feelings and opinions? (Luke 9:23) All the sermons in the world can’t do that because faith is a gift. The Holy Spirit produces faith in surrendered human hearts. It must be humbly and obediently asked for, received, inwardly cultivated within you, and put into consistent action throughout each day.
