Freely allow Christ to dwell in your heart through living faith. (Ephesians 3:16) The words given by God the Holy Spirit and written down by the apostles and the prophets can’t be understood by human reasoning. However, multitudes of people have experienced that those words will ignite divine revelation in the heart of anyone who will consistently ponder them with openness, receptivity, and humility.
When I contemplate and meditate and notice what is happening within me as I slowly read and absorb those words, I become aware of a supernatural presence communicating within me and molding me from within. The Holy Spirit, Himself, explains the words that He spoke to the people who listened to Him in the past and whose writings are collected in the Bible.
Living faith that comes by hearing the words of the Bible with your inner ear. It brings the mind supernatural knowledge that is far beyond mere human reasoning and intellectual comprehension.
True faith is relational experience based on shared life with God, not mere religious information built on mental analysis. It’s the gift of God’s revelation, not the results of intellectual elevation.
Living faith is the light of God that shines in your heart. It’s not a teaching about how light works. Faith is God’s love being poured into your heart. (Romans 5:5) It fills your human spirit God’s presence.
Living faith can be accepted or rejected by your free will. Every time you feel it seeking greater admittance into your heart, voluntarily receive it. Refuse to reject it.
Fully trust and rely on God’s presence to continually inwardly rearrange your thoughts, feelings, and desires and to align them one after another to His purposes. Use the supernatural ability that God wants to give you to ever say yes to His will.
Living faith is active and practical. It overflows with compassion and good works. It radiates unceasing love, joy, gratitude, and adoration for God’s gift of His Son Jesus. (John 3:16) Humbly surrender to the living God and receive the ever-increasing faith that He is trying to give to you.
