People have varying levels of faith operating in them based on their knowledge and application of what has been deposited in them.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 11:
16 Since Abraham and the patriarchs are consecrated and set apart for God, so also will their descendants be set apart. If the roots of a tree are Holy and set apart for God, so too will be the branches.
17 However, some of the branches have been pruned away. And you, who were once nothing more than a wild olive branch, God has grafted in—inserting you among the remaining branches as a joint partner to share in the wonderful richness of the cultivated olive stem. 18 So don’t be so arrogant as to believe that you are superior to the natural branches. There’s no reason to boast, for the new branches don’t support the root, but you owe your life to the root that supports you!
19 You might begin to think that some branches were pruned or broken off just to make room for you. 20 Yes, that’s true. They were removed because of their unbelief. But remember this: you are only attached by your faith. So don’t be presumptuous, but stand in awe and reverence. 21 Since God didn’t spare the natural branches that fell into unbelief, perhaps He won’t spare you either!
22 So fix your gaze on the simultaneous kindness and strict justice of God. How severely He treated those who fell into unbelief! Yet how tender and kind is his relationship with you. So keep on trusting in His kindness; otherwise, you also will be cut off.
We build up faith by appropriating what is already deposited in us as the measure of faith. This faith in full operation is known as great faith. This faith without any appropriation is known as “little or no faith”. Unbelief is a different issue altogether.
Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 7:
13 Making the Word of God of none effect through your religious teaching (traditions), which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Religious teaching makes The Word ineffective in the recipient’s life. We must guard our hearts from this kind of teaching. This requires us to fully trust The Holy Spirit to lead and guide us into all Truth by being sensitive to Him when we are told such teaching is being promoted in our midst. Teachers are not impervious to being steered away from the pure Word. Their soulish desire for power, accolades, and/or money will cause them to adulterate The Word for their own benefit. Their teaching may get to the point where it “hooks” you into becoming de facto slaves to their message. Isn’t this what the Pharisees did to the Jews? They enslaved them with 613 commandments and statutes to keep them in line. Jesus came along and set them free and reduced the 613 to two commandments based on Agape Love.
Some in the five-fold ministry will promote teachings that insert them as “middle men” and you must support them in order to get FATHER to do something as though their anointing is only available as they dispense it to certain people who perform to their standards. What a subtle trap! They exalt themselves as though they are special and you aren’t. Wrong! Each of us is special in Jesus’ eyes for He smiled as He formed us in the womb with a positive, expectant outcome.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philemon chapter 1:
4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 5 hearing of your Love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 7 For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
We are to develop our faith by immersing ourselves in The Word and release those deposits which are in us. We must at the same time eliminate unbelief which the world constantly promotes with alternatives. Knowing this, we are to shield ourselves from their lies and deception. It is up to us what we expose our five senses to in our daily walk for we have choice.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 13:
5 Don’t be obsessed with money but live content with what you have, for you always have God’s presence. For hasn’t he promised you,
“I will never leave you, never! And I will not forsake (loosen my grip on your life) you!”
Provision is released by faith so we don’t need to be obsessed with money. Let us not allow fear of lack which brings unbelief to enter in. People who hoard money are at the extreme of this fear. In the end, they pass away and leave potential blessings to others. How sad!
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:
20 Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. HE will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! HE will outdo them all, for HIS miraculous power constantly energizes you.
Remove all doubt and unbelief as the miraculous power from Above awaits you. Fully immerse yourself in The Word contained in these past writings and your faith will grow to the point of great faith with that miraculous power in operation. This is what FATHER, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit expected when THEY wrote your book and later formed you in the womb.
