Faith a gift from God: Kingdom Living

What is faith? It's believing that the unseen will happen or has already happened. I had been reading a book by Bill Johnson called "The supernatural power of a transformed mind" and it gave me new revelation of a scripture that I had read and recited many times. The Lord's prayer, when it says Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Wow His will, the Father's will for us is for His Kingdom to come to earth as it is in Heaven. Here and now. Everything that happens in Heaven to happen on earth. To have that authority and faith to believe He wants us to have that power now. As a result my thinking has changed. It went on to say because Christ lives inside us as Christians we are His kingdom. That our minds were the gate way to living this truth out. Our minds are a gateway into the kingdom. Paul says that we should renew our minds. The battle for either truth of lies is won in our minds.
When you receive this truth things change. I told God I would try and do everything that He told me. During a quiet time one morning I was stirred by Him to restore a relationship I had lost and in obedience went to the person's home believing that if God could speak to me then He could be speaking to them also. I was invited in and told that she had been thinking about me 3 days prior and that this must be supernatural. We spent 4 hours catching up and I believe what the devil meant for bad God turned for good. God's timing and healing power and our faith in Him to change things brought restoration. It happened again during the following week. I didn't want any blockage in my worship time with God. and God honored my trust, obedience and faith and brought healing!
God is good. He is working. We have to spend time with Him and listen to what He is calling us to do. I believe the impossible with us is possible with God. My ex husband who actually got me started writing this blog to get my hurts and frustrations out on cyberspace to help me heal is still away from God.
He had a baby boy and is still with the other woman. In man's eyes it's impossible, too much time has passed for him to change and to ever come back. But I haven't given up hope. God can bring restoration. He believes in the impossible becoming real. Faith.... It says what ever we bind in earth will be bound in heaven and whatever we loose in heaven will be loosed on earth. I bind the spirit of lust and loose the spirit of faithfulness and love. I bind the spirit of deception and lies and loose the spirit of revelation and truth. I bind the spirit of fear and loose the spirit of freedom in the lives of my family and in John's life. God is able to deliver us. What the devil meant for bad God can turn to good.
We as a family have come through a hard journey of growth and revelation. I believe as we are open to God's will being done in my life God is able to do His will in my life no matter how He gets me there. Maybe different paths and lessons have been taught and learned but reaching freedom through a heart of faith and trust in God has become reality.
I have love and relationship in my life that doesn't come from man but comes from God. He has brought me to contentment with an urgency for more and a PASSION FOR LIFE.... Life has found joy again not just in feelings but in faith.
Do I believe the impossible can happen. YES!!! Let's just wait and see. God is able.
