Faith

A spark inside the rejected rock, a love you haven't known for it wasn't shown to you by man. A love can't be made known to you by the things beneath it. But by looking to the things higher than the highest things above it.

Hebrews 11:1

"Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen." What is the Unseen substance? Trust. In the Bible, in the promises of the Lord. In the space between what seems impossible. Space: the moments in life where it seems like stillness, OR the moments in life where movement takes place OR the moments in life where something sounds off like the opposite of what you're hoping for. A moment where evidence seems to make the hope of null effect.

Belief and faith go together. Believing in an impossible thing, to account it; as true, or going to happen. To bring the mind into a state of stubbornness(longsuffering) for that thing to be of truth. What is Faith in Christ? A belief that He died for you. A belief that He will never leave you or forsake you. A belief that He is who He says He is. A belief that while you are here, your mission is to be like him so that others can see Him in who you are. A belief that you are to represent Him while here. A belief that He is the one Who made you in all your magnificence, though also that He is even more than that.

The claim of a truth to be of God while being of God and not of things beneath heaven.

• Imagine heaven brought down to earth. So imagine a place with no sickness, no lying, love just abounding for the creator and the creator back to you. And a place where the all things are just good.

• Now imagine a piece of you is in that place. It's sat on a lot, sat on a barren land set aside just for you. Jesus comes along offers to build you a house up in heaven. Not the way you'd think of, but one he know's you'll like. So He gets to building log by log, or brick by brick. however it appears. You begin to notice the house is a part of you, the foundation of your innermost self, and the layers of lessons, the layers of a personality.

• Imagine this was built new for you when you became a believer. You had an old foundation utterly demolished by our Lord. You keep pressing yourself into life on earth as the new foundation, as the new building blocks put together of your personality. And asking God to burn the parts of the house away that are not from Him. Throw them into lava and let them be made nothing. For His love is everlasting and the old foundation doesn't know Love like His.

The drinking of faith. The taking of the word of God to your heart and casting yourself upon His rock and allowing the self to break into pieces so that He may reform you, your self image, formed in the image of who He is. The truth of you, before you ever were. The personality not formed of this earth. The personality not conformed by or to this earth. The personality He has designed your heart to function in accordance too. The drinking of trust in that He is an infinite God with infinite potential and enables your miracles by your love presented as Christ upon the earth. You're love the same as God so loved all His creation.

Trust Jesus without any sign or confirmation. Trust that looks foolish to a man. But to the God. Shows unrelenting faith, unashamed faith. Trust that He will accomplish anything you ask Him because He loves you. Shows the strength of character hidden behind the person. The person who believes as though God is infinite and not finite and will accomplish anything on our behalf. If so done in His name. If so done upon the renewal of the self unto the same Love Christ has for His children. A Love so great under it's care you can accomplish literally anything. You are that person. Do not give up the infinite for the finite. Learn what it means to Love like Christ.

Foundational Faith: The Love. The same love God had in making the baby of the person you see before you. That Child was a unique representation of God before they were ever formed(corrupted by the world). Renewing the mind to the understanding that a child beneath the persons personality is one that lacks understanding. That the infinite is not finite. The you in which chooses a finite love must comprehend the infinite love in order to find the self who Christ is inside of you. The foundation of Christ in miracles that you yourself may inherit by the working out of the muscle of faith in Love for your God and neighbor. You're beautifully and wonderfully made and worth more than all earth beneath your feet. And should you choose the things above, in His Love, they shall be given unto you in Christ.
