"FAITH is the currency of the Kingdom of God!"

"But without faith it is impossible to please Him.." (Hebrews 11:6 NKJV)  That's generally where people stop with this incredible declaration. But I exhort you to keep on reading, 'cause the best is just ahead. The scripture continues, "..for he who comes to God must believe that He is (God), and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."

Wow, you have to be dead to miss that!  Can you see the importance of reading the "entire text" and not just taking an excerpt and running with it?  Look how much a Christian ministering to someone would miss by not sharing the entire text.  Think about the person they are ministering to and what they would have missed?  It's frightening isn't it?  You have to have faith to come to God (approach Him) and have faith to "believe" that He is who He says He is and have faith that He will do what He says He has already done, is doing or will do in the future! (Hint:  Whatever it is, is already done. Genesis 2:2)

The Holy Spirit is stating clearly that there are certain "contingencies" to faith. You don't just "roll up" on faith.  You gotta have some "skin in the game."  You have to have been roasted, stewed and barbecued!  Faith is the DNA of the Kingdom of God (KOG); it is the litmus test for those seeking entrance into the presence of the King! Without it, you have no place in the Kingdom.

Fear replaces faith.  Fear is of the enemy. The spirit of fear does NOT come from God. The enemy seeks to kill, steal and destroy your "faith"...not your BODY!  Your "body" is of no consequence to God;  God is NOT enamored with our physical bodies; hence the main requirement for entrance into the KOG: "suffering!"  Wait a minute Brother Nick, you mean to tell me I have to suffer before I enter the KOG?  Yes you do..in ten different languages!  Suffering is the thing "believers" have most in common with Christ, but they never hear that from the pulpit...it ain't popular preachin'!

Our sin nature can only be eradicated by faith in God through the impartation of the Holy Spirit!  We can "only believe" because of the Grace of God through the sacrifice of Christ on Golgotha!  Only by faith can you obtain a good report from the Lord God. Only by faith can we even understand the Word of God; since by faith everything that was made has been made by the "unseen thing" or the invisible word that proceeded from the heart, mind and mouth of God.

By faith, we move with reverence and love to the unctions of the Holy Spirit; we delve quickly and fearlessly into the moral abyss of mankind to destroy the prevailing spirit of darkness in the earth. By faith, we condemn the world (those operating in systems diametrically opposed to the KOG); by faith, we become heirs to God's kingdom in the earth, right NOW; by faith, we become heirs to righteousness and goodness and holiness; by faith, we hear the voice of God beckoning us to unfathomable greatness in serving our brothers and sisters in the marketplace; by faith, we remain steadfast in the wisdom and guidance of His Way, His Truth and His Life!

By faith, we receive strength to conceive the unimaginable and to produce "seed", which is NOT "money" but more "faith"...which is the currency of the KOG!
