Its By Faith
Good Book 2 Read
"I have glorified You (Father) on the earth. I have finished (past-tense faith statement) the work which You have given Me-Jesus to do."
Jn 17:4
See how Jesus lived by faith (Ro 1:17). Jesus made this faith statement before He actually died and finished the work like He said on the cross (Jn 19:30)... Faith in action (Jms 2:22). The first part of faith is just believing and is accounted to u as righteousness (Ro 4:21-22). So Jesus believed in His calling of going to the cross and declared it before He done it because Jesus knew He didn't need to come into agreement with whatever factual stories or opinions existed around Him that were contrary, not judging by his own eyes and ears (Jn 5:30/7:24), especially as faith comes by hearing (Ro 10:17), and u want people to believe in what you are doing, but also Jesus knew life and death are in power of the tongue (Pro 18:21), so Jesus came into agreement with His Destiny (Father's Will) and spoke those things that were not as though they were happening or had happened already (past-tense), because faith is the evidence of things not yet seen (Heb 11:1) to the natural eye of man, but always seen to the spiritual eye in that man (Hab 2:2/Job 32:8)!
1 Peter 1:9 reveals faith indeed has 2 parts. The 2nd part is when you "act-ually" get around to doing what u believe and declare by faith, so then you are believing and will be doing that belief, making u a living epistle (2 Cor 3:3). But notice that 1 Peter indirectly revealed a vital point of interest into when joy (Holy Spirit characteristic) actually shows up through all this first stage of believing and declaring.... when u are "Receiving the end of your faith-the salvation of your soul." Notice that you can be righteous by believing whatever it is about Jesus Christ that He is wanting you to believe in each story but this doesn't necessarily mean your joy is complete yet (u have seed but need a tree), because you still have to end up doing something and everybody knows that whenever you go to do something about your story u will be challenged and that part is not guaranteed fun or fun and games. But after your faith is tested and found to be true in that you really do believe in whatever it is Jesus is having you believe about Him (1 Pt 1:7), which always revolves around His ability to save and deliver you, love you, forgive you, help you, promote you and make your life worth the living... because even after the challenging part of the story is over, u will have proven that u want to hold onto that belief in Christ Jesus and yet that proof won't exist through mere cheap talk, rehearsed principles, or opinion, but through personal experience and revelation of Christ. This revelation will then give praise and glory and honor to Christ Who is Lord over your story, now being fully in your story, and within you in that story as you are in Him hidden. This is how the spirit of prophecy, which speaks of a future yet to come, becomes the personal testimony of Jesus (Rev 19:10) within your own life...
When the implanted seed of the word of God (Jms 1:21) is in you, and you let that seed-belief in Jesus-Word of God grow into action as it produces the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal 5:22-23), and that seed-belief in Jesus-Word of God does not become eaten (Mt 13:3-23), but you grew up into Christ and act out His Kingdom (Ep 1:18-23), this is true relationship with God. Not just Him in you (Ps 68:18), but you in Him (Ro 6:4-23), as the 2 are 1(Ep 5:30-32). God works in unity (Jn 17:11)~ Miracles, Signs and Wonders now follow you because you believe.
