The realm of faith

Most people only have occasional vacations in faithland. We need to migrate, move positions, change residence and choose to permanently make our home in HIM.

Imagine you are transported to a whole other universe, planet different in atmosphere and geography. Like swimming under water or being in space. Different sensory experiences, smells, food, sounds, tastes, and imagery. Different social laws, gravitational forces, language and functioning. The realm of faith is a spiritual dimension and spiritscape. The term “kingdom of heaven” is explicitly referring to a place, a government, a reign, a jurisdiction, a walled garden under God’s control.

Jesus permanently dwelled in the realm of faith, the spiritual Kingdom of Heaven. God was His source, success, provision, home, safety and confidence.

Jesus dis not have knowledge of heaven, He was heaven on earth. Jesus was doing godly things, He was God in human form. He did try to be spiritual, He was full of the Spirit continually.

Church is a culture of faith. People known for their faith. This is what separates us from the world, our faith. We do not gossip, slander, criticize, and talk about people. We talk about our faith, what we believe. Our main topic of discussion is our faith in God, and our journey of faith. Church creates an atmosphere of faith.

Faith is POWER which can only be exercise in the realm of God. To exercise faith, you must, ONE; take a journey to the heart and soul of CHRIST. By this, I mean that Faith is exercised, NOT from your own heart, but from the heart of CHRIST. When you exercise faith, you must align or merge your heart with that of CHRIST, in such a way so that there is no difference between the two. And from that point, every of your decrees and declarations become a law binding on ALL.[1]

Once you have moved location, and receive faith citizenship, your authority and jurisdiction changes. You become an ambassador of another Kingdom and realm. You have a certain diplomatic immunity. This world cannot touch you.

This message is an invitation to move positions.

“Man is what he believes”

Beliefs are basically the guiding principles in life that provide direction and meaning in life. Beliefs are the preset, organized filters to our perceptions of the world (external and internal). Beliefs are like ‘Internal commands’ to the brain as to how to represent what is happening, when we congruently believe something to be true. [2]

People's faith determines their reality, not reality their faith.

Spiritual mature people migrate their inward consciousness to heaven, in Christ Jesus.

They have a received a new identity, a new consciousness.

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (2 Cor 5:21) the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God (Gal 2:20) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (Phil 4:13) Therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus (Rom 8:1)

I am a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (2 Cor 5:17)

I am seated in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Eph 2:6)

People who have migrated to the realm of faith has received a new vocation.

Jesus called the disciples: I will make you fishers of men. You will become the farmer of people. Your goal in life is no longer profit and survival, you are to invite people to a new kind of existence in God. The realm of faith is uneasy for the flesh. The rich young man, could not receive this new purpose. (Mat 19:16-20:7; Mark 10:17–22; Luke 18:18–23). We are all called to be salt and light. (Mat 5:12-30; Mark 9:50; Luke 14:34, 35). We are called to the ministry of reconciliation. (Rom 5:11, 18) We all received the call to disciple people in our ethos. (Mat 28:19)

People who have migrated to the realm of faith have learned obedience through their suffering.

The redeeming acts of faith, is the gold nuggets that give us spiritual authority. though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, (Heb 5:8-9)

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, (1 Pet 1:6-7)

Because we live from the realm of faith, we live by spiritual instruction, conviction and focus. Understanding gives light, understanding God’s will gives you meaningfulness, and purpose to know what to do. Getting to know the scriptures gives you a godly framework to filter world events through the eyes of faith, and present revealed truth. For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth. (2 Pet 1:12)

People who have migrated to the realm of faith acts on small piecesof heavenly evidence.

Everything in the faith realm is received, and cannot be worked or achieved by the dead works and sweat of our flesh. Therefor to receive anything, is to be awakened and alert to small instructions, small mustard size seeds of revelation, and acting on it! Although we are totally heavenly minded, we live completely in the now! Knowing by the spirit, what words and actions will apply to current situations. Faith is always a moving energy. Passivity, procrastination, uncertainty, doubt, hesitation is the enemies of faith! Faith is to receive a conviction from heaven about something, and then walking it out according to your faith in patience.
