BELIEVERS FAITH ,CHRIST AUTHORITY.
"Therefore I say unto you what things so ever ye desire, when you pray,when , believe that you receive them, and ye shall have them."..Mark 11;24.This is the summary of our life-time romance with the great and mighty Jesus ,popularly called the "righteous one " in the kingdom of darkness.
The coin in the contest without doubt , has two sides. faith on one side, the unfailing word and authority of Jesus Christ. on the other.
Faith is so important in the christian race that Christ spent quality time, teaching on it. He taught the disciples by demonstrations and instructions. Demonstrations to prove what he wanted then to believe and instructions on how best to key into the authority of the master.
Without faith, it is absolutely impossible to please God, neither can the most clever person on earth, please God without the seed of faith growing in him.
Believers faith,Christ authority simply means, give me your faith and I in return , will beautify your request with the authority in my name.
God expects every believer to exercise great faith and bear the fruit that will remain. The believer is pictured as a tree planted by the river side and which must bear fruits in due season[.Psalm 1;3.] Fruits of repentance,fruits of the spirit[ because God is a spirit,] fruits of our lips[, giving thanks to God, for his mercies endures for ever[ and fruits of service in the kingdom[giving our time for the service of the Lord.]
Though many Christians still believe it is impossible to please God, it is impossible to be holy, it is impossible to become perfect and it is impossible to meet God's requirements amongst other impossibilities, a host of other believers disapprove of this.
This set of believers believe that with faith on the other side of the coin , they can tap on the authority of Jesus to meet their needs.
Blind Bartholomeus, Hannah the mother of Samuel[1 Sam 1;17]. Nehemiah, Esther,Job, the woman with the issue of blood etc. They touched the authority of Jesus with their great faith. They got what they bargained for , to the glory of God.Healing and health and the provisions thereof are for God's children on earth, while the healing and health the unbelievers enjoy are mere crumbs falling from the masters table ,ready to the devoured.
There is no doubt whatsoever ,as to the power and willingness of God to intervene on behalf of his people. Once this great authority is touched. When ever he is called upon with simple faith that is not bigger than the mustard seed,it is common that the word of God being spoken, transforms to the authority that heals and or changes things. God's word is a word of power and authority and it has the innate potency for the miraculous [Romans1;16].
