This same faith which he began lives in us through His Spirit the moment we are born again We then have learn to Faith Him (Try and see Faith as a Verb it will alomst become a revelation) We must allow our trust to be unwavering and let His Spirit transform us into this Faithing life! A life of total Trust! We now live by the law of this ABC Faith Yet it began with His Faith Father, Not My will but Thy will I think the best one that people miss is Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all among so many There are many other examples! This is why I am worried that the Mainstream Church is teaching that it only requires us to have a mere belief in Jesus, and it’s that which gets us there. I’m convinced that it requires more than just simply believing that He is real but faithing in Him However, let me clarify this: It is NOT BY WORKS of any kind either! Please don’t misunderstand me on that. The only law is the law of Faith which even He did for us.Do you kinda see it? If you have a way of getting anything that shoes the original Greek translation into words that we can understand, it really opens your eyes!I am really getting intense on this subject while seeking for Him to show me more and tell me where to take this I am hungry and thirsty and can’t seem to get enough lately nuff sed for now until next time May the best of the best come to you!All Things do work together for good I know that for a fact!

There were bits that I immediately felt, “this is stating the obvious, OF COURSE, this is how it is to follow Jesus”. Other bits were, “whoah, now you are pushing me more than I like!”…and I LOVED that.

It was a great intellectual exercise and wonderful intro for a conversation that NEEDS to happen for followers of Jesus today. Don’t walk away from this book without having a convo…with God, with your mates, with your inner self

This book is a great conversation starter, very thought provoking…
