In Galatians chapter 5 Paul wrote:
5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.
Do you want your faith energized? How would you like to improve the flow of SPIRIT in your daily walk? Love is the energizing effect. It is the catalyst that sustains us as we walk out faith in patience. “Faith working through Love” is such a simple phrase but contained therein is a power greater than any other on earth yet it remains hidden to those without eyes to see.
The term “working through” means:
-
to be operative, be at work, put forth power
-
to work for one, aid one
-
-
to effect
-
to display one’s activity, show one’s self operative
In the Epistle of James chapter 5, we see this energizing effect at work:
15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
How effective are your prayers? We all must assess our fruit and make whatever adjustment necessary so that we produce good fruit rather than no fruit at all. As we continue our walk in Love there will come a day when we become fully energized by Love and our faith will move mountains. Instead of mentally agreeing with Jesus when He spoke the following in Mark chapter 11:
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.
23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”
You will know fully and completely your words will be backed by the power of FATHER. I say to you today, PRESS IN! Love is the path to energizing faith, not more knowledge, not more skill, nothing else can plug you into the flow from Heaven!
Months ago I spoke a word that I heard about activation and authentication. The time of authentication is at hand and the train is leaving the station. Don’t just sit on the bench and wave goodbye. You are being given the opportunity to have your faith activated by Love. Pursue it like never before. Look and listen for ways to activate your Love walk!
