FAITH AS A FORMULA FOR REALITY




Men of God have received the revelation that “if anybody who is a believer anywhere will take these steps and put into operation, he will always receive whatever he wants from God the father”. Formula as used here simply means set form of words setting forth principle, method or rules for doing, producing something. These formulas are:
Ø    Ability to say the word
Ø    Ability to do or act on the word because faith is an            action.
Ø    Ability to receive it with great expectation
Ø    Ability to tell it.

Remember, the world was created by God speaking the word and calling into being everything that is. The bible says “………..Calleth those things which be not as though they were” Romans 4:17. The nature of faith is such that God is a faith God because he had faith that his words would bring forth creating ex-nihilo (out of nothing). The power of word was shown clearly in Matthew 8:8 “….but speaks the word only and my servant shall be healed.” In Psalm 107:20, the bible says “He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction.”

The word is woven into the very fabric of creation. Indeed the word is what holds the creation together and maintains its operation. Faith filled words brought the universe into existence, and faith words are ruling the universe today. Jesus spoke the word of faith in Mark 4:3 “And he arose, and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, peace, be still and the wind ceased and there was a great calm”. The word of God lives forever and there is no limit to it. In number 11:23 the bible says “There is no limit to God’s Power. Anything he says he does it”.
Through the discovery of the spiritual laws established by God to run the universe, the believer can put these laws to work for his own use and good and for the benefits of the world. All these laws are created by God such as the law of faith, the law of giving and receiving in hundred fold, the law of positive confession etc. The law as used here simply means a statement expressing what has been seen always to happen in certain condition such as in scientific law.
A great man of God once said “In the spiritual realm God set into motion certain laws, just as He set laws in the natural realm. Those laws in the natural realm work, don’t they?” Just as you get into contact with those natural laws and put them into practice they work for you. Over in the spiritual realm the same thing is true. As it is on earth so also is in heaven. The law of faith is a spiritual law; God has put this law into motion, and surely if you come into contact with it, it will work for you.
The law of faith is to the spiritual realm what the .law of gravity is to the physical realm. When the law is set into motion, it works. The law is simply a statement of truth and to make it work, you need to set it into motion. Therefore, you can plug into this universe law of faith and you can get results.
If you can cooperate with the law of God – the law of faith, you can get results. The bible says “…….Thou shall also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee, and the light shall spine upon thy ways” Job 22:27-28
The physical law is impersonal, thus the spiritual law is also impersonal and consequently the law of faith is impersonal. It works regardless of who the person is as long as he‘s a believer or where he or she stands in the universe. Be it rich or poor, white or black, educated or illiterate, in Japan or African, USA or Europe, it works.
Do not be deceived, if anybody (rich, poor, black, white, literate or illiterate), can follow the simple formula and plant a grain of wheat he can obtain multiple seeds regardless of who that person is. Likewise, if you can follow the simple formula of faith, and put your healing, your needs, your new baby, new job, car, home, whatever you need into motion, the resources of the world and heaven can set at your disposal. These forces that can rightly be described as power are immutable laws. God is creating, working and ruling and made possible the working of these great immutable laws and forces that run through all the universe, that surround everyone of us. Every act of our every day lives is governed by these same great laws and forces.
A great man of God said, “The mental and spiritual world or realms are governed by laws that are just as real and unfailing as the laws that govern the natural world” Certain conditions of mind are so connected with certain results that the two are inseparable. If we have the one, we must have the others, as surely as night follows the day.
Therefore, there is a cause and effect relationship between these spiritual laws and the human mind. To shows clearly that there is a cause and effect relationship, the Bible says “Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the first fruits of all thine increase; so shall thy barns be filled with plenty”. Proverb 3:9-10. In fact the law of cause-and effect is clearly described in Luke 6:30, “Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together…..”
Every thought of the human mind causes an effect in the universe through the operation of spiritual laws. There is no way you can deal with God without faith. The Bible clearly stated that it is impossible for you to please God without faith.
The great spiritual laws that govern the unseen forces of life are put into motion and work by God. The Universe is governed by supreme being – God the father of all. Man must however do the bidding of the spiritual laws that govern the universe. Man is nevertheless free to disregard these laws.
It is precisely because of this universal system of spiritual laws that the numerous formula of the faith work for anybody – be it black or white, rich or poor, anywhere – be it Canada or London, New York or Tokyo. The faith formula operates in the spiritual laws, and the spiritual laws control the physical realm. That this physical realm is controlled by the spiritual laws of faith is evident from the fact that you can obtain blessing by unknowingly using these laws. When you retrospect you will discover that you have applied the power of faith unknowingly one time or the other and you have obtained results accordingly. It is therefore reasonable that if you knowingly and consciously apply the laws you will get greater rewards.
