BELEIF AND FAITH ARE MADE TO COMPLETE ONE ANOTHER BUT ARE NOT THE SAME

Belief is born from the mental and nervous energy by which we can think, reason, conclude, make up our mind and have an opinion of our own, with or without the truth. Beleif brings us to conclusions of our own.

Then comes the need to know that I am known in such a way as I may also know that I know.

This need gets me seeking from where thirst and hunger can only grow until God finds me where I am looking for Him (all though I might not be aware that what I am looking for is God) and also, once He finds me, of course I find God where He is looking for me. This is when revelation draws belief into Faith.


This distinction leads to observe the two opposing accesses at the basic fundamental levels of sourcing the human thought generating and processing, and consequently, this is the very point to determine the degree of health of personal identity development and interactive qualities in the simplicity of the devotion to Christ-Jesus by His Spirit in my spirit.

The spirit-driven mind is the experience of organic-spiritual unity where all qualities of living are given by the Spirit.

The soul-driven mind is where belief remains independant of the revelation of Faith.

The soul-driven knowledge turns societies into herds of peer pressured humans, spending our existence under the "peacefully oppressed order" of military intelligence, so as to maintain the animal soul driven nature of humanity under check.

Psychiatry is only just coming to terms with the conclusive observations in the curative powers of Faith for a variety of conditions where the patient is relieved from past beliefs that find themselves at the root of the condition that needs treatment from ills.

From Faith, the mind is brought to peace with an imaginative screen that feeds from the balanced creative participation of both, the subjective and the objective state of being fully developing together, from feeding into the revelation of relevancy, found at the source of being one with all in all.

I have met people whose lives demonstrate such personal and intimate knowledge of God because of the self-control driven by love, truth, justice and wisdom in all aspects of their life experience and who yet, did not know that the Spirit of Christ was the One Who was guiding them.

Watchman Nee describes such a man who said to him after accepting the gospel: "This is the first time I hear of the gospel and of the Lord Jesus-Christ but this is the second time I meet with God".

There is an election of God that belongs to God alone and it is by the love manifested for one another that we get to recognise His presence amongst humans. For even if we have known Christ in the flesh, we do not know Him like this any more. The senses used by the old man to know someone are not relevant to the spiritual reality of being a child of God and of being an overcomer by the grace of the Christ-Jesus. Here's a link to the most accurate book I know of, regarding christian fundamentals:

I fear that much of our standing up for God and for the gospel does not add up to more than what much of christianity describes of the Muslim or the Jews or any other set of beliefs.

The true faith we are given by the revelation of the gospel has no limits other than Christ Himself in all His glory and power. When two or three of us are gathered in His name, there He is with us.

This is a matter of two different natures, which are connected to two different sources and somewhere, the nature that feeds from the revelation of God does not need the contribution of any belief what so ever, for belief is from my capacity to reason apart from the words of God's mouth to our being in His Being.

Obediance is the simplicity of being empowered by God the Spirit into the yes of Christ, working with God to establish us to move against the prevailing of the gates of hell.

For such depth to prevail in reality, man does not live with bread alone but with every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Please notice, from the mouth of God, not from the book of God.

Hearing God is the source of Faith. I thank God for the bible, don't get me wrong but the word that proceeds out of His mouth requires that God Himself gets to first dwell into my heart and spirit; my mind that can read the bible comes after, as a result of the Covenant being activated as my source of being.

Once my heart and spirit are feeding from the mouth of God, then I am equipped with the empowering life so that I do not be comformed to this world, but that I get be transformed by the renewing of my mind.
The mind of the first nature is connected to the soul, to the body and to the unregenerated heart.

Trying to regenerate the heart with the understanding of the mind is what belief, religion and philosophy are all about. They all add up to efforts from the energies of the old man.

It is like asking something solid that I hold in my hand to stay in the air after letting go of it. Gravity takes over and brings it to the ground.

The wings of eternal life's liberty are from the law of the spirit of life Who sets us free from the law of sin and death.

As soon as we speak from the mechanics of intellectual memory of scriptures, we short circiut the Spirit of life from touching and from giving life through our speaking. For all vain words that men shall speak, we shall be judged.

Our words are not in vain when we take the time to let the Spirit show us who we speak to and how this person or this crowd or such and such event or circumstance can be moved spiritually.

Therefore the response I seek to provide is the simplicity of His Presence and of His Voice, so that whenever or wherever anyone asks any question concerning God, He is then always available to be pin pointed amongst His own human manifestation of His eternal Covenant of Justice, Peace and Joy by the Spirit..."for he/she who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." The reward is to know Him and to commune at the Source of Being, Identity and Presence...amen...

Letter to Fred Kayawa
Ap 11,2009

Salut Fred,

When you speak of Faith, you are touching on a word that goes on being used in many different ways.
One of the most secure way to use it, is as you write: "Faith is a gift of God!"

For the gift of Faith to exist and to be made available to humanity, after centuries of prophecies, the Christ had to take upon Himself death and sin, and He had to bring them to complete destruction. To do so, He had to die and to conquer them by resurrecting.

This is what makes Jesus the Christ of God. No other human could nor can do that except for the Christ. The gift of Faith, is the the gift of eternal life that was obtained by the mission of Christ-Jesus on earth.

In all of the Bible, the letter to the Hebrews offers its one and only definition of Faith. It says: "Now faith is the substantiating of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Heb 11,1

The Faith being spoken of here, is the faculty of knowing God and of experiencing eternal life, while we are living on earth through time and space, in a mortal body.

Faith is the connection with God and comes to us by a revelation operated by the Holy-Spirit, which brings each one to know that Christ-Jesus lives and reigns over all matters of existence, of life and of powers.

This revelation shows Who He is and the need we have of Him. As we respond to our need of Him, we get reconciled with God.

This reconciliation seals the Faith, having the Holy-Spirit feeding us the Christ, in Whom eternal life humanly lives.

When revelation becomes Faith in any one, then this someone becomes a child of God.

Jn 17, 3 says: "And this is the eternal life, that they should know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent."

This "knowing" is not from make-believe exercises but from God's work of revelation, alive from each one's reception of this work of God. Faith is the experience of knowing the only begotten Son of God, Lord and Creator of all that is visible and invisible.

Faith is a gift of God to which no one can add to or take away from. This is because for the Faith to exist, the Creator had to become flesh, to live among His fallen creatures to absorb all the power of sin and of death within His body.

At the appointed time, He was put to death by The Law, amongst its people. He then resurrected from the dead and appeared to His disciples for a short while.
He then went up to heaven to sit upon the throne of all creations and He sent His Spirit to set the captives free from the law of sin and of death by the law of the Spirit of life, which He built on God's and humanity's behalf through His mission in our midst.

There are the gods and the faiths that humans have either fabricated, and/or there are the ones who have deceived entire cultures of the human race with supernatural demonstrations.

Faith of Christ-Jesus as described above, does not share anything with those gods.

What separates Christ-Jesus from all others, is the fact that in Christ, God does it all and gives it all freely, whereas with all other faiths and gods, people have to earn what they receive.

In closing, I am sharing a passage of scriptures in which revelation and faith are put in context of the whole mission of the Christ-Jesus and of His people:

"He says to them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am? And Simon Peter answering said, *Thou* art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering said to him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona, for flesh and blood has not revealed [it] to thee, but my Father who is in the heavens. And *I* also, I say unto thee that *thou* art Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be bound in the heavens; and whatsoever thou mayest loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heavens." Mt 16, 15-19

Unfortunately, this passage has been used to build an empire of sets of beliefs that deny the revelation given by God alone, the gift of Faith and the simplicity of our devotion to the Christ-Jesus.

The empire built itself by accepting Peter to be the rock, instead of the revelation to be the rock.

As a result, the one and only Faith producing revelation has been enclosed in the mix ups of the many gods, faiths, religions and philosophies.

Celebrating Easter according to an annual calendar is one of the most obvious contradictions caused by that empire of christian sets of beliefs.

Jesus-Christ is raised from the dead.

This resurrection is the power by which God's revelation feeds our Faith with eternal life. The freedom we are given from death and sin comes because the Holy-Spirit deploys the power of resurrection to feed us with the law of the Spirit of life!

This is why the Faith by which God's children live our life every day is made of "The Perpetual Celebration of Easter Upon The Land of Immanuel" Happy Easter be with us all at all time... Benoit

PRAYER
Dear Lord, show us how to commune with You and each other in the way You mean us to and give us to discern between ours and Your concern for all that is lost and in need of Your saving grace.

Do speak up within each one of Your children and silence us by Your presence, so that we may learn to sail upon the waves of Your voice's power, taking Your obediance directly from our heart and spirit to our soul and body, for the blessing and the redeeming of all whom we are in You and all that our eyes and ears come in comtact with.

Bring and keep each one of us within the boundaries of Your pleasure; not what we think might be Your pleasure but like Mary versus Martha, bring us to where we hear You and commune within Your glory, that we may be one as You are one with the Father and the Spirit.

Raise up the sacred fire of Your worship with such might that our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving may be able to sustain any and all levels of adversity yet to come against Your elected ones.

Fill up our lantern, so that we be not distracted from our waiting for You in the blessed virginity of Your bride. Do reach all of Abraham's children and all whom are blessed because of the blessing You bestowed on him by the King of justice and the King of peace Melkizedek, regarding all nations and families of the earth.

Make us aware of what it means to be citizens of the new Jerusalem and make good use of the groanings that we are going through with Your Spirit, for lack of a proper means of expression.

Teach us the graceful acceptance of drinking the cup that no one can stand having to drink and yet, as You did pray for the cup to be removed from You, You did drink it and told us that we too, were going to drink our own cup of sufferings.

Guide us to where our drinking of that cup becomes filled with such praise and thankgiving from our devotion to You, that the Kingdom of heaven shall awake across the whole earth, causing the repentance and conversion to open up in the way that Your revelation gets to take hold of entire nations at the time.

Thank you for the tools to communicate at the speed of thought. Show us all how to let You speak to us here and now from deep within each one and do voice Yourself into our being and living as well as onto the Internet, along with all other tools You've given us for Your dwelling amongst humans and to inspire the perpetual celebration of Easter upon the Land of Emmanuel.
Keep us rejoicing in Your joy I pray...amen to Your yes...
