Is Your Faith Full of Fear

Author: Greg Tharpe

Financial freedom, happiness, good health, longevity, healing, love, security and peace of mind are blessings that most desire. It is not outside the realm of possibilities for God to grant you all of these blessings, if you have the faith that is required to causes them to manifest in your life.

Jesus told the disciples; Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” [Matthew 17:20 NIV]

The Bible also tells us, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.” However, my intuition tells me that a dream or vision is the substance of the things hoped for and requires faith to become reality. Therefore, a better definition is in the NIV Bible; it states, “Faith is being sure of the things hoped for and certain of the things unseen.”  

Everyone possesses limitless faith potential as it is a gift from God. It is given to each and every human being for the purpose of connecting with the higher intelligence for assistance in preventing and overcoming life challenges that are beyond human intellect resolution. However, the majority of humanity has a limited understanding of faith. Therefore, their misunderstanding blocks or minimizes it.

Two types of faith are worldly and spiritual. Worldly faith is also known as form-based faith and is based on belief or trusting in the visible. Whereas, spiritual faith is based on knowing and trusting in God, the invisible divine spirit or energy. It is easier to have form-based worldly faith because we have been programmed by society in the limited capacity that “seeing is believing”.

However, it takes a higher degree of spiritual understanding to have faith in God which is that divine spirit or energy which is invisible. This can be very confusing to the mind of someone who is still living life based upon the visible (physical/material) limited perception of reality.

For example, it is easy to have faith when riding in an airplane because you don’t hear of or see many planes crash. However, when it comes to trusting in that which you cannot see to deliver you from danger or a life threatening illness, this is an entirely different kind of faith when you have nothing physical or material to rely on.

Spiritual faith is the key and most misunderstood resource in life. It is your most valuable and powerful possession. It is more valuable than a college degree, wealth, jewelry, diamonds, pearls, oil or any other worldly resource. It is an inner knowing that connects you directly to God for wisdom and divine power for solutions to problems and answer to prayers.

Most people believe they have spiritual faith and they are correct, however, often it is blocked by a lack of spiritual understanding which advocates fear and in-turn causes dis-empowerment, weakness and ineffectiveness.

It is “humanly” natural to have fear in trusting that which you cannot see, therefore, to have faith you have to learn to trust God by seeking spiritual transformative education from an enlightened soul. As your spiritual understanding increases, your fear will decrease and your faith will increase.

Spiritual faith is a supernatural mindset that lacks fear, doubt, worry and negativity. It induces a feeling of supreme confidence from the heart that your prayers have already been answered. It is pure energy or spirit vibration which elevates the mind into higher dimensions of understanding of the working of God beyond this world.

It is the mindset of divine trust that comes as a result of knowing the spiritual truth and freeing your mind and soul of form-based thoughts and beliefs about self, God and life. When the misunderstanding is removed, it bridges the gap between you and God so you can receive intuition, revelations and guidance directly from the Divine Source.

This trust or certainty causes spiritual growth, development and consciousness. This atonement or connection to higher intelligence leads the gifts of the spirit such as clarity, wisdom, genius, creativity, authentic power, protection and the truly happy abundantly blessed and fulfilling life that God has willed to you.

However, when one has little faith, their mind is vibrating at a lower frequency or spiritual level of understanding, which closes down the connection to God for guidance. This causes loss of power and control over life’s challenges, leading to one not knowing their purpose, stress, illness, not totally happy, unbalance, emptiness, boredom, hopelessness and many prayers going unanswered leading to an unfulfilled life.

Spiritual faith is the key to getting your prayers answered and living your dream or God’s will. Also, calling forth the cure to the things that physically man cannot cure and the possible to what is impossible for man; it is the elixir for miracles.

It is spiritual faith that Jesus was referencing when he said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”  John 14:12
