FAITH
Phil 4:7 "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus". 4:8 "Finally brethren whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things". 4:9 "Those things, which ye have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, do and the God of peace shall be with you".
2. Thess. 3:16 "Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all".
Col. 1:20 "And, having made peach through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself, by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven". 1:21 "And you that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled". 1:22 "In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight".
FAITH FILLED
Acts 6:8 "And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people".
pistis the Greek (pisī- tis) for the word FAITH
AV - faith - assurance - believe - belief - them that believe - fidelity 1) conviction of the truth of anything, belief, in the NT of a conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervour born of faith and joined with it 1a) relating to God: the conviction that God exists and is the creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Christ.
1b) relating to Christ: a strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom of God 1c) the religious beliefs of Christians 1d) belief with the predominate idea of trust (or confidence) whether in God or in Christ, springing from faith in
Acts 26:17 "Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles unto whom now I send thee". 26:18 "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me".
Romans 3:21 "But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets". 3:22 "Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe, for there is no difference". 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God". 3:24 "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus". 3:25 "Whom god hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God".
Romans 3:28 "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law".
Romans 4:13 "For the promise that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith". 4:14 "For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of none effect". 4:15 "Because the law worketh wrath, for where no law is, there is no transgression". 4:16 "Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed, not to that only which is of the law but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham who is the father of us all".
1 Cor. 2:5 "that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God".
Gal. 3:5 "He therefore that ministereth to you the spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?"
GOD CANNOT WORK IN MEN WITHOUT FAITH
Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".
Hebrews 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him".
It's what every spirit needs in order to manifest. When we begin to see that faith is not God making life difficult but when you don't have to make contact with the spiritual realm. The realm of angels and demons.
Faith in devilish spirits brings the reward of operating in a medium that God has clearly spoken against. However faith is needed even to contact evil spirits. They don't just happen, they have to be invoked in a life. Only human beings have the capability of doing this.
John 4:24 "God is spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth".
To invoke God you must do it the "spirit way". Not as a human being but as a supernatural spirit. The Holy Spirit. He is a personality and a being that comes to the meetings.
You must believe what God has said when we reach out in the spiritual realm and procure a cure from Him. He is most assuring. It is a rule that spirits must be contacted this way and woe betide anyone trying to cut corners.
