Faith In Being Used By God

“Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doth the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.” John 14:10-12

The Holy Spirit of God that now dwells within us does not stagger at this Truth, and He strengthens us, and teaches us, and allows us to abound in hope in believing all of the Truth of what Jesus spoke here! The mind of Christ that we now have staggers not at this Truth and it fully and completely believes that God is able and willing to work through us, just as He did through Jesus! Take notice of how Jesus had compassion on the sick and hungry and how God used Him to do something about it. God is a God of answers. Some people came to Jesus with great faith, some did not, but regardless, God answered them and had compassion on them, and He used the body of Jesus to work through. Jesus’ body, made of earth, just like ours, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, just like ours, was the chosen vessel of God’s compassion! This is what it boils down to, it has been born into us, we have been anointed with the strength, and we have been empowered with the Holy Spirit to be fully used by God to show the same compassion that He showed through Jesus. The One Who was used by God, Jesus, is the One Who is now Authoring and Finishing our Faith!

After all that we have studied about being used by God, ask yourself this: what do you believe that our faith should look like? Jesus is Lord, and greater is He that is within us, than he that is in the world!

Father Your will be done!
