FAITH FOR is not FAITH IN

FAITH FOR is not FAITH IN

There are two types of faith, one is more self centered and is very unstable, while the other is God centered and as stable as the rock of Gibraltar. Having FAITH FOR something has many pitfalls  or possibilities of failure. A single doubt can block it. Fear can stop it. Other people's unbelief can cancel it. Asking with the wrong motive defeats it.James 4:3 Certain sins stop it. James 5:16 Impatience can cut it off. Romans 8:25 Now if you have faith for something and you turn against Me when you don't get it, you only thought you had faith, but instead you had presumption. Presumption is a counterfeit of faith and is most of the reason things don't happen when you pray. Presumption is unbelief because it has no trust in it, presumption lacks an intimate love relationship and without love there can be no trust. Presumption just assumes things are going to happen! Every one of My promises are conditional. It is impossible for Me to lie, so look in the mirror whenever something you were having faith for, doesn't happen. One person may have faith and another can cancel it out with presumption, because of a lack of relationship. My faith was badly hindered by other's presumptions. Matthew 13:58

Now FAITH IN, is a whole different story. In order to have true faith IN My Father, you must be intimately in love with Him. It is impossible to truly trust without unconditional love. Having faith in My Father means that your love for Him transcends anything He might or might not do for you. Having faith IN My Father means if His answer is no, your loving trust says, "Father knows best". Faith IN My Father will carry you through the worst of times, even death itself. Faith for something you want from Him, will fail you when you fail to get what you want. Faith IN answers Father's denial with, "You know best Father". Faith FOR something answers His denial with, "God you failed or lied." I am telling you to, "have faith IN God. [23] then you can, say unto this mountain, Be removed, and be cast into the sea; and if you don't doubt in your heart, it will obey the sound of your voice, as if it were My Father's." Mark 11:22-23 If you want that kind of power, dedicate your life to spending time with Me, until all you want is Me and My will and not to have faith for what you want, when you want it.
