How to Have God’s Faith
“Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! Listen to the truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done.” (Mark 11:22-23 TPT)
In the passage above, Jesus said the “faith of God” and not “faith in God”. If we want to perform mighty miracles like casting a mountain into the sea, we will need to receive God’s own faith.
“For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3 WEB)
You see, there is the measure of faith that God already gave to us in the past, and also God’s own faith that He gives to believers at appointed timings.
The former is the one that we keep free from unbelief through daily renewing of the mind, while the latter is more powerful because it is pure and guaranteed to mightily prosper in its intended purpose.
“But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit; and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages. But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.” (1 Corinthians 12:7-11 WEB)
Faith is one of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. He distributes this “faith of God” at times. Every believer can receive this.
To understand when this God-faith comes, we have to know the delivery system:
“Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One.” (Romans 10:17 TPT)
Many English Bible translations do a poor job of translating the verse above. They stray from the original Greek meaning. However, I like the translation I quoted above.
The words translated as “anointed utterance” in Greek is “rhematos” which means “a spoken word”. “The Anointed One” is Christou, which is Christ.
“Rhematos Christou” is not referring to God’s written Scriptures in general. That one would be the logos word, or “what God has said before”. The rhema word is talking about what Christ is currently actively saying to you through His Spirit inside you.
When Jesus speaks a rhema word to you, it carries God’s authority. When you hear and act upon that word, the “faith of God” is imparted to you for mighty power to be released. This is when miracles and breakthroughs flow.
Let us see this in action:
“Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.” He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus.” (Matthew 14:28-29 WEB)
Jesus said “Come,” and this rhema word carried the authority for Peter to transcend the natural laws of nature. When Peter heard the command and acted upon it, the “faith of God” was imparted to him, empowering him to walk on the waters.
You may be surprised by this, but even Jesus depended on the rhema word from His Father during His earthly ministry.
“Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” (John 5:19-20 WEB)
Before doing any miracle, Jesus first received the rhema word from the Father, and He simply obeyed, acting upon what the Father showed Him.
When Jesus acted upon the rhema word, God’s power flows because the authority, faith, and will of God are working in perfect synergy.
It is therefore most crucial that we ask the Lord to give us the rhema word for our situation. To receive it, you can calm your emotions and pray about your situation, listening in silence to see what the Holy Spirit brings to your attention.
Other than that, sometimes He uses your pastor or Christian friend to speak divinely inspired words to you. The Holy Spirit is the source of the rhema word. The way He delivers it isn’t the most important thing, so be open to however He chooses to convey the rhema word to you.
When it comes, grab hold of it in your heart, and act upon it, for it is the key to unlock God’s supernatural provision in your situation!
The 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ in the four gospels show us God’s heart of love and Grace towards us. As you explore them in “Messiah’s Miracles”, faith will arise in your heart to receive miraculous breakthroughs in your own life: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

Use your Gifts in a Spirit of Love
“If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but don’t have love, I am nothing. If I dole out all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-3 WEB)
The Corinthian church liked to show off their gift of praying in tongues in a chaotic manner. They spoke it loudly during worship and the sharing of the word, causing such disruption that Paul had to teach them to do everything orderly in congregational worship. The problem was not just limited to that. They liked to compare and boast about who had a better spiritual gift.
Probably one person who could pray in tongues liked to say how he was greater or more loved by God than other members who could not do it. Then the other would retort saying that he had another better spiritual gift than praying in tongues. These squabbles would lead to factions being formed, people with the same kind of gifts grouping together and disliking those who had different gifts from them.
That is why Paul had to use the analogy of the foot and the hand saying that they don’t need each other being a ridiculous idea. He had to teach them proper decorum on how to minister in their gifts the right way. Paul had to teach them how the body of Christ is meant to be united as one, working together, and built up in love.
“For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body. If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be? But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired. If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now they are many members, but one body. The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant propriety; whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part, that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. Or when one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.” (1 Corinthians 12:12-26 WEB)
Comparison and divisiveness are toxic. Everything ought to be done in love, if not, it is easy for pride to come in and ruin everything. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.
It is not so much about their gifts not working or profiting them when they don’t do it in the right spirit. Yes, they may lose out on heavenly rewards because God weighs the heart, but spiritual gifts will always work because they operate by grace—not based on how worthy the person is by works. It is more about how it is pointless when done boastfully because God gave them the gifts to be used in love—not to compare, boast, or inflate their egos. God’s spiritual gifts are not party tricks to impress men with.
Use your gifts in a spirit of love, to build people up by demonstrating the love of God. Recognize that every believer has a different set of gifts, unique for his or her calling. Yes, you have a gift! God designed this diversity so that we would all need each other, and minister to one another. Just like that, we will build up the body of Christ in love. This is the right way that glorifies God!
God has equipped you with powerful gifts to fulfill your calling. Do you know what your gifts and calling are? Do you know what are eternal rewards and how you can maximize them, especially seeing as Jesus’ return is so close, right at the doors? “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever” is a book that this end time generation needs to read.

The Only Gift of the Spirit that you can Operate at Will
“Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord. There are various kinds of workings, but the same God, who works all things in all. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all. For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge, according to the same Spirit; to another faith, by the same Spirit; and to another gifts of healings, by the same Spirit; and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discerning of spirits; to another different kinds of languages; and to another the interpretation of languages. But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 WEB)
The nine spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit can be categorized into three groups:
Speaking gifts: speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues and prophesying.
Working gifts: gifts of healings, workings of miracles and faith.
Knowing gifts: word of knowledge, word of wisdom and discerning of spirits.
These are all powerful manifestations of the Holy Spirit. He is the one who produces these gifts through believers.
There is only one gift out of the nine that can be operated at will. Once this gift is activated in your life, you’ll be able to use it all day long if you want.
There are so many benefits to it. Learn more about speaking in tongues and if you haven’t had this gift activated in you, you can receive an impartation through the accompanying video in the post.
There is a reason why this blog post received more than 900 social media re-shares thus far. This is a spiritual gift that God wants the body of Christ to be equipped with and to use frequently! ⬇️
