Heb 11:1
“NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed)
of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the
conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed
to the senses].” AMP
There's a vast difference between what is known as Bible Faith
and natural faith. Bible faith is actually Word faith which is based on the
Word of God only and not in anyway based on what is felt or seen. Whereas
natural faith is based on what is seen and felt, you see or feel therefore you
believe.
You cannot get anything from the Almighty God through
natural
faith, no you cannot.
Faith of any kind is based on knowledge and if that be the case,
I question what we called natural faith which is based on feeling and sight.
The Dictionary defined the word 'belief' in general term as 'confidence in the
truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.'
That is from the dictionary! So I wonder where the idea of natural faith been
belief in what one sees and feel came from.
This means that natural faith was an uneducated statement, an
actual jargon. You don't believe what you can see or feel, you know. You know
you are wherever you are. You don't believe it, you know.
Someone actually said that for you to believe what you can see
and feel, you need your head examined!
Faith in God is based on the knowledge of the Word of God, what
He has promised and what He has declared as His will for you, which you cannot
touch or feel physically, but you trusted its integrity.
What I am saying to you is that faith is not a natural thing but
a spiritual, supernatural thing and man was created to live that way. You were
created to live that way, so live that way!
