Faith is believing that God will supply what you need to rule your passions and desires; both good and evil, as well as to fulfill the plans He has for you.
Perhaps you, like me, often saw God as the One who was responsible for everything in your life; (the total Sovereignty position) which may leave you in a more passive posture.
Our God is indeed the Lord of all, but in a way that only He understands, He cooperates with our faith when we invite Him in to any circumstance. Jesus said
on multiple occasions that "with faith all things are possible". He commended the Centurion for his faith in Matthew 8 and repeatedly exhorted His disciples to "believe".
Faith seems to come to me when I reach the point of not being to accomplish something in my own strength. I have to get to "the end of myself" before I find the gift of faith within my reach.
I want to comment on this more in the coming days. There is error on both sides of these truths; but there is no doubt that we live in a day when real faith is necessary to overcome the many lies of the evil one who has come to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10).
Let's lean in to faith and discover how to please our God!
