Your faith in Christ is proof of your Kingdom citizenship

Apostle Tracey Robinson

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.

• We have learned through hearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ that to get into the presence of God you must have the faith of Jesus to believe that He is.
• We have learned through hearing and accepting the Gospel of Jesus Christ that through the faith of Jesus He (God) is a rewarder to them that diligently seek Him.
• To diligently seek God means to make a conscience effort to learn to spiritually love Him through His Word, learn to spiritually know Him through His Word, and learn to spiritually obey Him through His Word.
• When we spiritually love Him, we love one another unconditionally so that all men will know that we are the disciples of Christ Jesus. (St John 13:34-35).
• We learn to spiritually know Him through spiritual practices that become the habit of the new creature in you. Practices such as spiritually praying as the Spirit unction you to do so; study the Spirit of the Word in Spirit and in Truth; and live according to the Will of God and no longer your Will and way.
• Obedience is love. Jesus said if you love Me, you will keep My commandments. (St John 14:15).
• Spiritual diligence means to not be a lazy believer that is slothful in doing the Will of God.
• Spiritual diligence is a spiritually born-again new creature in Christ that seeks the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (St Matthew 6:33) wholeheartedly with all his strength and all of his might. Without spiritual diligence many believers are spiritually lazy and have no zeal for the things, affections, or pleasures of God.
• Spiritual diligence means to allow the Spirit of God to form a knitted pattern of perseverance after their likeness in your efforts, in your cares, and concerns for His Will and not your Will by casting all your cares upon Him.
• Your faith in Christ becomes the most important virtue for your soul’s life and lifestyle in Christ.
• Virtue is conformity to a standard of right, moral excellence, goodness, or righteousness. An excellent trait of character.
• Virtue is described as self-controlled (temperance, moderation), upright (having a behavior that is strictly honest), and godly living (a life that is consistent with the integrity of the Word of God).
• Virtue helps add to our faith, knowledge, temperance, perseverance, and brotherly love   which are a reflection and proof of your Kingdom citizenship.

2 Peter 1:1-11 Read

• Kingdom living and lifestyle requires faith. Faith that is the faith of Jesus Christ, not your faith.
• Jesus’ faith in doing the Will of the Father was often tested in His human body.
• Your faith in Christ will be tested and tried in the Word of God that you have yielded to.
• Tradition and religion teach and practice that being tested and tried is demonic and is not of the system of faith to try the Word of God that’s in your heart.
• But the life of every born-again believer in Christ life in Kingdom citizenship is the proving of your faith.
• Tradition and religion and denominations teach and practice that “I have what I say” or “to speak those things that are not as thought they maybe”. Yes, this is true, but without faith according to the Will of God it is not so.
• Faith is the most powerful thing that you and I as new creatures in Christ can possess. When you lose your faith, you have lost.
• Faith speaks and believes as God does.
• Testing your faith is not from demons, but temptation is!
• Testing proves the value and the worth of your faith as a Kingdom citizen.
• As a Kingdom citizen you must be able to go through the test designed for the measure of faith that has been dealt to you for the Will of God to be perfected in you in the earth.
• Your faith is as strong as the test it passes!
• God knows the measure of your faith by the test He allowed you to go through and be a champion in it.
• Let’s talk about the value of faith. The value of faith provides every believer with a sense of purpose, hope, and strength in Christ.
• Faith is a strong weapon you possess as a believer in Christ that not only threatens but will destroy the devil’s kingdom.
• If your faith is active and alive in Christ through the Word of God, the devil is a defeated foe in your daily spiritual walk in Christ.
• Faith in Christ will kill your flesh.
• Faith is manifested by the test it encounters and overcomes.
• To know your faith in Christ you must be tested. This is the only way faith in what and who you believe in will be manifested. It is through testing!
• Testing your faith is God’s prerequisite for trusting you with His Word, His power, and His Authority. He will try your motive in Salvation to measure it against His intent.
• Prerequisite is a requirement necessary before something.
• God will never trust what He did not test!
• When you call your tests negative you will never be trusted by God. Negative means a word or statement that expresses denial, disagreement, or refusal.
• How you handle being spiritually tested, spiritually pressured, spiritually attacked, or spiritually challenged is God’s laboratory of experiment in operation to be able to trust you and cause your motive to become His intent.
• If you want to be like Jesus or want God to use, you like He used Jesus He is going to take you to your wilderness journey and lead you through your wilderness journey of perfection in Him. Be aware of your prayer when you ask God to use you.
• What qualifies us for God to hear us? Faith qualifies us to be heard by God.

St Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

• But pray the Will of God for you for His Glory, not just what you want.
• REMEMBER: Faith is your belief in Christ and your conviction that creates your confidence in the King of the Kingdom as a citizen.
• Qualifying to be heard by God ask the question, did you meet the Kingdom’s principles? Has God told you that He can trust you? Your faith is as strong as the test it survives. Did you survive your test?
• What is the object of your faith? Object defined here as a person or thing to which a specified action or feeling is directed.
• Objects of faith will determine the strength of your faith in Christ or the object.
• The source of faith that you possess determines the quality of faith.
• If your faith fails under a little stress or pressure; a little surprise or a little challenge; or something that has happened, then where did you get your faith from? Who was it in? Who is the author of it?
• If your faith is another source of faith, where did it come from? Or who did it come from?
• When your faith is in another source, we become disappointed in people because our faith lies in them. They are and have become your source of faith.

Amen
