The Operational Base Of Faith

Faith, like I’ve already mentioned, is not a philosophical issue. It’s a spiritual force that operates in the spirit realm. It operates in the inner man, or the spirit-man of the new creation. Let’s look at some scriptures that will help us to see this. Romans 10:10 says:

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

It is in your heart that you believe. Faith, therefore, is of the heart. Mark 11:23 says:

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

These two scriptures establish the fact that faith is a spiritual force, and it operates within the spirit of a man. Man is a spirit, he has a soul, and lives in a body. First Thessalonians 5:23 says:

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It’s important for you to also recognize that faith is a spiritual weapon, and is listed among the whole armour of God.

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Ephesians 6:16

In Ephesians 6:6, we read:

Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

This scripture establishes the fact that it is the state of the inner man that determines the dimension of faith a man can take. The Bible says this about Goliath in I Samuel 17:7:

And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.

Faith is of the spirit, therefore, your spirit-man bears the shield of faith. That means, the strength of your spirit-man is what determines the kind of shield it can carry. Goliath’s armour was bulky and heavy, to match his stature. The weight of his sword and spear were enough to ward off any enemy from him. That was why the whole army of Israel was too afraid to approach him.

Man’s spirit is the operational base of faith. The strength and stamina of your inner man is what determines the level of faith you can operate in. That is, the spiritual capacity of your spirit-man is what determines the size of weapon it can bear.

Building Your Spiritual Muscles

The way people build their physical muscles, is the same way you should work hard at building your spiritual muscles. The physical muscles are built by nutrition and quality exercise.

My wife and I once saw a wrestler in New York. His arms were so thick that they shot out by his sides. The weather was very so cold, yet he
