Faithful Expression

Is there a way to inspire through faith?

There is a way in which you can describe faith to others. There are actions in the world, of compassion, or mercy which come through you as faithfulness.

But there is another way also.

Let us consider how a person comes to the Lord. See them in their sin, see them seeking him out in hope. Yes, they are considering their own welfare, or their own desires, and not the Father's will. But they are all the same, in that they are willing to make a change in their lives at this point.

The Lord hears them, he listens to what is said, and he seeks in them their sincerity, and their will. They describe on their own what is upon them, (in terms of what has befallen them to bring them to me). This testimony is weighed against the truth of their existence which is unknown to them. It allows the Lord to gauge them in their place in things, and then consider what they do not share as where their true growth must begin.

The Lord then places upon them a recognition. They do acknowledge it, no matter how openly or secretly, they do receive it, each one. Then the Lord also grants them insight into where they are in his sight, within their sin. At this point they already begin to stray from him, as this insight into their sinful existence causes them to question themselves, (as mankind is firstly confident in themselves). The Lord does this so that they can see what faith truly is, a state of spiritual perfection. And this is shown to them in hopes they make a choice to deny themselves, and begin to have faith in his authority. Yes, like the two criminals on the cross, only one acknowledged his authority sincerely, and this because he set himself aside placing faith in the Lord's presence in the Father.

When you consider this, from the first day they come to the Lord, to the present moment they are in front of you, what changes?

In most cases, what occurs over time is a deliberate conditioning in the knowledge that is set upon them, whether self inflicted, or through their willingness set upon them by others or in text. This is how it has been since the very first gatherings in the desert in exile. Without a testimony of their own, or, without evidence that honors them, none seek further in the Spirit. They place their confidence, (their interpretation of faith), in this knowledge  to keep them from sin, which includes knowledge of grace, either by traditions or by my blood. In either case, the Lord only justifies those who show their actions to be a reclamation of purity, for sake of his authority in the Father. If they remain in their reactions to the world and flesh, nothing has been gained in him, as they are no longer seeking him, but instead are within an illusion of comfort they provide themselves.

So what can you do to renew faith in those who have never understood faith? There is only by being an example of faith, that will bring any positive and sincere results. And since no authority the Lord sets upon you is in the world, there are no examples of testimony in the Lord they will replace their understanding of faith with. And there is no evidence to be recognized in the world. So what examples can you offer them? Faith is an expression of perfection that is a holy and perfect fullness. When faith is acted on, all who recognize the Lord, recognize faith as of the kingdom which he is the gateway to. So if indeed they are seeking him out sincerely, whatever act of faith you offer that they are witness to, will be acknowledged by them, and inspire them to seek me out more. They will hunger for holiness in the Holy Spirit that you have shared openly with them.

It is not futile to share what faith expresses through you, if it ignites, or fuels the expression of faith in others so they too may act upon it. The Lord wants us to consider this as a freedom he is offering us. It is your choice to share in your way, how you carry the Lord in faith. Very few will acknowledge it. But if even one becomes faithful, or renews their sincerity because of these acts of faith, this will be celebrated in heaven, and witnessed by Lord and the Father.

So instead of sharing holy scriptures, or repeating what was eye witness testimony 2000 years ago, look to the Lord to express what faith means to you. That is why the Lord has given you this freedom. But it comes with a most severe warning; do not stray into worldliness while supplying what the Holy Spirit grants you to offer those who are witness to it. Remain in the Lord, while comforting them. Those who truly seek the Lord, will acknowledge he is within you, and it will return them to him, or, enhance their own reliance on faith.

The states of holy being are found in the present moment. They are there to manifest in our day here. The world and this flesh would enslave our souls and the Holy Spirit to furnish its will. What we need to do is allow our faith to become actions of love, including open expressions of faith that others are witness to. Do not allow worldly concerns to tarnish spiritual expression, instead express perfection through your willingness to be a part of the Lord, here, now.
