It’s a Faith Thing: Living Beyond the Senses

Faith Is Now: Walk By It

(2 Corinthians 5:7)

"For we live by faith, not by sight."


    Today, I asked people to rate their faith on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. The responses varied—some rated themselves at a 5, while others felt they were at a 10. Faith is something we can reflect on and evaluate to better understand where we are in our spiritual journey and walk with God.

    So today, I invite you to examine your faith. Where are you with your faith in God? How strong is your hope in Him? How deep is your trust? How consistent is your dependence on God? Are you leaning on Him and trusting in His truth?

Illuminated path symbolizing faith walk step-by-step
    Faith is about making divine transactions. In the heavenly realm, your good is already done. Faith is the ability to move that good from the spiritual realm into the physical one. As the Scripture says, “The just shall live by faith,” and “The steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord.” Faith is not static—it’s dynamic. It’s a journey. That’s why we call it a walk. We walk by faith, not by sight. Faith is movement. Faith is momentum.

    Picture a path ahead of you. Faith is your journey along that path. I know I’m going somewhere—and with every step I take, God steps ahead with me. You are never alone. Faith is knowing that God is always with you, every step of the way. “Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” I am praying
today that you hear something that causes your faith to grow and unfold. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”

    It’s a faith thing. So, where are you on your faith walk? Where are you on your faith journey? Let’s make it personal. Let’s move beyond philosophies and ideas. Where are you in your faith today?

    Faith is always now. If it’s in the future, it’s not faith. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is rooted in the present moment. If you’re stuck in the past, you may feel depression. If you’re obsessed with the future, you may feel anxiety. The solution is the present moment.

    Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Center yourself. In this present moment, there is peace. In this present moment, there is trust. In this present moment, faith lives. Faith is always now.

    Love is eternal. Hope is for the future. But faith is for now. Faith is very present. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Faith is now. Faith is God. God has given everyone a measure of faith. You live by faith daily—whether you’re standing on concrete, trusting it will hold you, or driving your car, trusting it will get you home.

A shining pathway leading into a radiant horizon, where each step brightens the path forward in faith.
    Faith is a gift from God. You can’t create it on your own. It’s a fruit of the Spirit—just like love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, self-control, meekness, and patience. Faith is divine evidence. “The one who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.”

    Without faith, it is impossible to please God—because God is faith. Faith comes from God. Faith is God. The Bible says that Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. “The just shall live by their faith.” I am just, and so I live by my faith—not by my senses. Sight represents the senses. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” That means we live beyond what our eyes can see, what our nose can smell, what our mouth can taste, what our ears can hear, or what our hands can touch.

    Faith moves us beyond our senses and into the spiritual realm.

    You can believe in anything—positive or negative, good or evil, light or darkness. But faith is always good. God says, “I know the plans I have for you... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.”

    Faith is your power to bring heaven to earth. It’s your ability to manifest what’s already done in the invisible. “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Faith is your transaction tool to bring your good from the spiritual realm into the physical one.


(2 Corinthians 5:7)

Faith is always NOW!
Faith is always GOD!
Faith is always GOOD!

Reflection Question:
 On a scale from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), how would you rate your faith today?

Balancing Being & Birth: Jesus, the King of the Kingdom

Balancing Being & Birth: Jesus, the King of the Kingdom R EAD | Matthew 1:16-25 Whether your parents were married, separated, or divorced, your conception was perfect for your purpose. Perhaps your parents were unmarried teenagers or adults who had not planned on having more children; your conception was still divine. Even if you were the product of rape, incest, abuse, or adultery, the Kingdom Principle of Divine Order remains in effect. As challenging as it may be, this principle reminds you of the truth that everything that has happened in your life happened exactly as it was supposed to happen. Your conception is no exception. Jesus, your Wayshower, was not born under ideal circumstances. His conception was immaculate, yet very few people believed it. Many believed that Joseph and Mary did not wait until their honeymoon to consummate their marriage. Others thought that Mary was unfaithful to her fiancé, Joseph and that Jesus was the r...

  Are You a People Pleaser (Matthew 14:6) 06 February 2024   Who are you pleasing today? Some of us are people pleasers. We live our entire lives trying to please people, trying to get their approval and validation. We get pleasure out of pleasing other people, and so we do everything looking for people to be pleased with us.   Are you living your life for people, trying to please people? Some of us try to please ourselves, and we forget people. I AM    pleasing myself, and so all our lives are consumed with self-pleasure, and immediate gratification, and so we live our lives pleasing ourselves, or are you pleasing God? Are you living your life with one purpose: to please God? Are you concerned with whether or not God is pleased with you? At the end of the day, when God says well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things. I will make you rule over me. That’s what I Am living for.   I am living to please God; I desi...

  The Kingdom is About Growth (Matthew 13:24-30)   The kingdom is about growth, not condemnation, judgment, sin, abomination, transgression, or iniquity. The kingdom of God is about growth. Jesus said it is like wheat and weeds, or "tares," as some versions say. As you grow, once you plant a seed in the ground, you don’t just get what you get; you also get weeds. As you keep growing, you will outgrow any behavior, any way of being, seeing, thinking, speaking, or acting that is not like God; you will outgrow it. Stop trying to pull up the weeds and keep growing. Stop trying to put people out of your life because some of the people you think are weeds are really wheat, and some of the people you feel are wheat might not be. Just keep growing, and it will automatically separate. Jesus said the growth in the kingdom is like a mustard seed. It starts as the smallest seed, but it’s potent. So do not despise the days of small beginnings; keep growing. Don’t compare yourself to a...
