Learning to Walk by Faith

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. ---Colossians 2:6-7


We are well equipped to walk in the blessings of God. Therefore, after we’ve had time to grow spiritually, God usually doesn’t move on our behalf with sovereign miracles or manifestations of the Holy Spirit that require no faith on our part.

You see, God holds us responsible to learn how to believe His Word. He expects us to switch over from the natural realm and begin operating in the realm of faith. That is, looking and thinking in the supernatural realm.

When I started to hear and apply the truth of God’s Word, it changed my life. I started receiving answers to my prayers according to my own faith and my confessions. God doesn’t want us to stay in the same place in our knowledge of Him. None of us have arrived to know all about God and His motives and heart. So, we must keep meditating on the Word, spending time with Him and praying for His wisdom to guide our thoughts.

The Word sets our doctrines straight. God won’t force His truth on us. But! If we’re willing to learn, He will show us how to rightly divide His Word. (2 Tim. 2:15) His truth will set us straight and put us on a new course to victory.

Confession: I spend time with my heavenly Father and grow up in Him. I walk by faith, depending on Him to perform His Word in my life. It’s a great privilege to walk by faith!
