ACT YOUR FAITH!
"For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also" (James 2:26).In your walk of faith, it isn't just enough to believe and then expect miracles to pop out of nowhere. There is more to do when it comes to exercising your faith. Faith is active, not passive. It's the action you take as a result of the Word of God that has come to your spirit. That is, when you say you have faith, you must act on the Word (which you have received), because faith without corresponding action is dead. It's like a fellow who after he had prayed, said, "I believe that I have received"; and then he goes away crestfallen; looking forlorn and dejected. It's obvious that his action shows that he didn't receive.
When you receive from God, you must act like it. Jesus said, "...ask, and ye shall receive..." (John 16:24). That means ask and take it; and if you have actually taken it, you start acting likewise. When you start acting your faith, you may look foolish for a while but don't be deterred by that; there is power in the foolishness of faith! Let's take a cue from the story of blind Bartimaeus; he cried out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me." Everyone tried to hush him up, but the man wouldn't give up; he yelled even louder, until his cry of faith got the Master's attention, and He healed him (Read Luke 18:40-43). Remarkably, in the forty-third verse, the same people who had tried to stop him, rejoiced and gave praise to God when they saw his miracle: "...and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God." Listen, no one is ever a fool for faith!
Don't be deterred by the level of circumstances before you nor by the mockery from people who don't understand the efficacy of the Word of God, act out your faith at every point in time. Do not let anything hinder you from professing to yourself what the Word of God has done for you. Christ died and resurrected so you can be a joint-heir with Him before the Father. Please, always have the consciousness that you have been elevated but it takes your faith to take you up there. Act out your faith.
The Blessed Truth!
