REAL FAITH HAS NO BACK UP PLAN

REAL FAITH HAS NO BACK UP PLAN

Every backup plan has three unspoken words preceding it, JUST IN CASE. This is the triple worded phrase, that reveals to Me, you have assumption, but not faith. True faith, when exercised, means if I don't make good on My promises, you die. 

Faith is reaching way beyond yourself at My prompting, and leaving yourself completely in the open. Take a close look in My word, at all those who are considered full of faith. Their lives were always on the line. Observe the eastern christians, their lives are also are on the line with every step of obedience. 

Western christianity has replaced faith with assumption. Assumption is based in head knowledge, it has no connection with faith except in appearance. Sinner and saint alike practice it. Words like, give it a shot, give it a try, long-shot, shot in the dark, take a chance, hope for the best, and I got nothing to loose, are all descriptive of assumption.

These statements are all connected to backup plans or cushions to fall on, in case things don't work out. This is a natural human action for anyone wanting to advance, but it is not faith. 

Faith has a direct connection between you and Me. It is a clear unbroken line from My throne to your heart. The directions come from My throne carried by My holy Spirit to your spirit. Your spirit speaks and you either obey or disobey. Obeying is faith, disobedience or waiting until you have a backup plan is sin.

Faith moves at My word without question, then I move to complete the work. After I speak it's always your move. The faster you move the higher your faith level. Even if you make a mistake I honor your faith and will be there for you. It's your faith that will save you every time. 

Hebrews 11:1-40 (AMP)
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. [2] For by faith--trust and holy fervor born of faith the men of old had divine testimony borne to them and obtained a good report. [3] By faith we understand that the worlds during the successive ages were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible. [4] Prompted, actuated by faith Abel brought God a better and more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, because of which it was testified of him that he was righteous that he was upright and in right standing with God, and God bore witness by accepting and acknowledging his gifts. And though he died, yet through the incident he is still speaking. [5] Because of faith Enoch was caught up and transferred to heaven, so that he did not have a glimpse of death; and he was not found, because God had translated him. For even before he was taken to heaven, he received testimony still on record that he had pleased and been satisfactory to God. [6] But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must necessarily believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him out. [7] Prompted by faith Noah, being forewarned by God concerning events of which as yet there was no visible sign, took heed and diligently and reverently constructed and prepared an ark for the deliverance of his own family. By this his faith which relied on God he passed judgment and sentence on the world''s unbelief and became an heir and possessor of righteousness (that relation of being right into which God puts the person who has faith). [8] Urged on by faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed and went forth to a place which he was destined to receive as an inheritance; and he went, although he did not know or trouble his mind about where he was to go. [9] Prompted by faith he dwelt as a temporary resident in the land which was designated in the promise of God, though he was like a stranger in a strange country, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs with him of the same promise. [10] For he was waiting expectantly and confidently looking forward to the city which has fixed and firm foundations, whose Architect and Builder is God. [11] Because of faith also Sarah herself received physical power to conceive a child, even when she was long past the age for it, because she considered God Who had given her the promise to be reliable and trustworthy and true to His word. [12] So from one man, though he was physically as good as dead, there have sprung descendants whose number is as the stars of heaven and as countless as the innumerable sands on the seashore. [13] These people all died controlled and sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of God''s promises, only having seen it and greeted it from a great distance by faith, and all the while acknowledging and confessing that they were strangers and temporary residents and exiles upon the earth. [14] Now those people who talk as they did show plainly that they are in search of a fatherland (their own country). [15] If they had been thinking with homesick remembrance of that country from which they were emigrants, they would have found constant opportunity to return to it. [16] But the truth is that they were yearning for and aspiring to a better and more desirable country, that is, a heavenly one. For that reason God is not ashamed to be called their God even to be surnamed their God--the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, for He has prepared a city for them. [17] By faith Abraham, when he was put to the test while the testing of his faith was still in progress, had already brought Isaac for an offering; he who had gladly received and welcomed God''s promises was ready to sacrifice his only son, [18] Of whom it was said, Through Isaac shall your descendants be reckoned. [19] For he reasoned that God was able to raise him up even from among the dead. Indeed in the sense that Isaac was figuratively dead potentially sacrificed, he did actually receive him back from the dead. [20] With eyes of faith Isaac, looking far into the future, invoked blessings upon Jacob and Esau. [21] Prompted by faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph''s sons and bowed in prayer over the top of his staff. [22] Actuated by faith Joseph, when nearing the end of his life, referred to the promise of God for the departure of the Israelites out of Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his own bones. [23] Prompted by faith Moses, after his birth, was kept concealed for three months by his parents, because they saw how comely the child was; and they were not overawed and terrified by the king''s decree. [24] Aroused by faith Moses, when he had grown to maturity and become great, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh''s daughter, [25] Because he preferred to share the oppression suffer the hardships and bear the shame of the people of God rather than to have the fleeting enjoyment of a sinful life. [26] He considered the contempt and abuse and shame borne for the Christ (the Messiah Who was to come) to be greater wealth than all the treasures of Egypt, for he looked forward and away to the reward (recompense). [27] Motivated by faith he left Egypt behind him, being unawed and undismayed by the wrath of the king; for he never flinched but held staunchly to his purpose and endured steadfastly as one who gazed on Him Who is invisible. [28] By faith (simple trust and confidence in God) he instituted and carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood on the doorposts, so that the destroyer of the firstborn (the angel) might not touch those of the children of Israel. [29] Urged on by faith the people crossed the Red Sea as though on dry land, but when the Egyptians tried to do the same thing they were swallowed up by the sea. [30] Because of faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encompassed for seven days by the Israelites. [31] Prompted by faith Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed along with those who refused to believe and obey, because she had received the spies in peace without enmity. [32] And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, [33] Who by the help of faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, [34] Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts. [35] Some women received again their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured to death with clubs, refusing to accept release offered on the terms of denying their faith, so that they might be resurrected to a better life. I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:25-37. [36] Others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and even chains and imprisonment. [37] They were stoned to death; they were lured with tempting offers to renounce their faith; they were sawn asunder; they were slaughtered by the sword; while they were alive they had to go about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated-- [38] Men of whom the world was not worthy--roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and living in caves and caverns and holes of the earth. [39] And all of these, though they won divine approval by means of their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, [40] Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they these heroes and heroines of faith should not come to perfection apart from us before we could join them.

Matthew 9:29 (AMP)
Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith and trust and reliance on the power invested in Me be it done to you;

Romans 1:8 (KJV)
First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
