Hello All,


Blessings!

Good afternoon St. Louis! All! We hope you all have a dynamic spiritual week! Today we discuss the spiritual dynamic of faith being substance. Oh Lord, we just praise you and thank you today for your faithfulness to lead us into the green pastures of your marvelous manna word, our Lord Jesus, Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Almighty God Love Dad! We praise and thank you for leading us to the cool stream of your dynamic comforting love Spirit of Truth that brings the revelation light of that manna word bread our Lord Jesus each day!

Father, we just praise you today, worship you, give you all the glory, love and adore you, and praise your Holy Name.

Faith as substance is a most difficult thing to see when all else is a witness to the contrary of such being so. But the Apostle Paul speaks best of this when we hear him teaching us about the faith of the Son of God who gave himself for us.

Gal.2

[20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

For no where else in the epistles is faith being substance more visible than in the lives of those so touched by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us, and gave himself for us, that they, themselves visibly represent him and His mighty faith on their behalf. We can only imagine what our dear Lord of Lords King of Kings, God Almighty Love Dad said in His heart to himself at various times on His journey here. Perhaps it was something like, "if I give myself for them on the cross, then, and only then, will the Love of My Love Dad be able to touch them and give them life. Then, and only then, will His Spirit of Truth be able to comfort them and guide them into all truth. Then, and only then, will my disciples be empowered by the Spirit of My Love Dad to bring My good news of My Father's Kingdom to all the world. Then, and only then, will the work My Love Dad has given me to do continue after I have gone. Then, and only then, will the blind continue to see, the lame walk, the deaf hear. Then, and only then, will the sinner continue to be set free from sin. Then, and only then, will my Father's house be filled with His Sons and Daughters!"

If we would see the substance of faith, we must hear Him on the cross say, "It is finished!" And we must see the substance of His faith in the lives of all those that have come after Him. Are we able to see that mighty work of our Lord's faith in the life of the Apostle Paul? Can we hear him say, "I live by the faith of the Son of God?" Glory to God, yes! We see it! We see faith being made substance right before our very eyes! We see the faith of the Son of God made substance in the life of the Apostle Paul! Faith is substance!
