LEAPING FAITH

When it comes to spiritual grasp of timelessness, which infinity is; no measured spaces; no darkness but only light; denominational or religious belongings play no significant role. When it comes to faith, trust and dependance Jewish, Christian, Muslim or any other religion has almost null to say. Why? The answer is simple - children. Children trust and depend on their parents without any religious indoctrination. Being converted into that mindset is also not hard when we take into account the fact that even your mother did not choose to be born; therefore, the ultimate womb is not flesh and blood but the Spirit. 

In Judaism God has no form therefore we cannot make any image of God lest we make a physical idol and turn pagan. But Judaism does not explain why God has no form and any visible silhouette; that comes to us from the Christian Gospel of John 4:24. 


[John 4:22] You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. God is SPIRIT, and those who worship Him must worship in SPIRIT and TRUTH.”

Rabbi Krakovsky wrote, "God's Kingdom is sealed with a seal called the Truth." The heavenly or spiritual Kingdom of the Spirit God is ruled by nothing else, but the truth; therefore whoever walks, worships and is truthful belongs to that realm. And not only belongs to that heavenly domain, but also knows it spiritually. 

SOME SEE & SOME DON'T SEE

Some do, some don’t; it’s a mystery as to why some have that forth-leaping faith which draws a miracle while others are sort of slow; there is something in them that resists.

In Egypt when Joseph revealed himself to his brothers Benjamin the youngest was the first who leaped forward toward Joseph (Genesis 45).

When Peter and John said to the lame beggar ‘silver and gold we do not have…’ touched by God’s healing power the lame man leaped and rejoiced (Acts 3).

At Lystra a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. This man was listening to Paul as he spoke, who, when he had fixed his gaze on him and had seen that he had faith to be made well, said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet.” And he leaped up and began to walk (Acts 14:8-10).

To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like? They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’ For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children (Luke 7:31-35).

THREE KINDS OF FAITH

  •       Little faith
  •       Great Faith
  •       Faith in God

1. In the beginning the disciples of Jesus were called men of little faith (Matthew 6:30; 8:26; 14:31; 16:8, Luke 12:28).

2. The two types were the Roman Centurion and the Canaanite woman (Matthew 8:10; 15:28, Luke 7:9).

3. [Matthew 21:21] And Jesus answered and said to them,  “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen.’”

The substance of God’s faith is neither called little or great, but the very gift of God.
