Faith is a force that only exists in the spirit world. It is a force of energy that can move mountains. Paul defines it as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

One of the greatest manifestations of faith is when David took on Goliath in combat. It is clear that the Holy Spirit orchestrated events so that David brought food to his brothers at the battle front. The Israelite army was paralyzed by fear and no one wanted to challenge the Philistine giant.

God wanted the Philistines removed from the Promised Land. Faith was infused into David, who became fearless to take on the Philistine champion. David responsibility lay in slinging the stone, God was going to do the rest.

The mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds in creation. Yet it produces unexpected largeness from something that starts so small. A small amount of faith in a Christian is matched by enormous energy from the Holy Spirit and this is the power that can move mountains. The purpose of faith is to know that God loves you and that He will reward those who diligently seek Him.

Jesus stilled a storm on the Sea of Galilee and cursed a fig tree. In both instances, the action occurred with just a few words. The sea immediately calmed and fig tree was dead the next day. This message will change your spiritual life if you are open to believing that God loves you and that He wants to work miracles through you.

Operating in this gift of the Holy Spirit – or any other for that matter – is exciting because it means you are in God’s will and He is choosing to use you for something particular. It is wonderful knowing that the path you’re on is sanctioned by God and receiving His blessing in the form of one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit.
