Faith to Faith

Four Realms of Faith

There are Four Realms of Faith that are mentioned in Philippians 3:10

That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death;

1. That I may know Him.

2. The Power of His Resurrection.

3. The Fellowship of His Sufferings.

4. Being Made Conformable Unto His Death.

Within the Four Realms of Faith are found the Levels of Faith which begin after the hearing of the Word supernaturally draws an individual having no faith to the place of receiving first faith. Herein we enter the realm of knowing Him and see the love of God in that He gives us the very faith necessary to please Him. [Hebrews 11:6]

Faith then grows, it is "Faith to Faith," like fruit and we begin a journey in which the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. [Romans 1:17]

We then come to realize that the resurrection of Christ Jesus was for us and that we participate in that resurrection through faith. We then become aware of the power of His resurrection. Revelation comes as we realize that the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us. We have received the measure of faith and are beginning to give it expression in our lives. The flesh begins to focus on, and wants to bask in, the power and if not checked by the spirit will try to settle down here. The Holy Spirit will help put off pride and move one from little faith through weak faith to mustard seed faith where resurrection power is demonstrated. A simple, but determined, act of the will allows God to take one on the journey from faith to faith.

Change Your Level of Faith

The Lord wants you and I to be willing to change our level of faith and move into ever more dynamic realms of faith. He is constantly drawing us from faith to faith, glory to glory and stature to stature.

As our will aligns with His we are able to enter the realm of fellowship of His sufferings. In this realm is found mutual faith where we find ourselves in agreement with Him and are able to operate with unfeigned faith. We have learned to trust Him completely and are willing to cast all our care upon Him. This is a place of trust that makes unthinkable any temptation to be pleasers of men. Our only desire is to please Him. This causes many to withdraw, misunderstand, mock, scorn, malign and persecute those in covenant with Him.

Having moved into unfeigned agreement with our Lord we now are ushered into the realm where we are made conformable unto His death and called to exercise great faith. This demands understanding the absolute authority of God in Christ and draws upon the same God kind of faith that was needed to send the Son of God and release the Gospel and the ensuing anointing into the care and keeping of man. Here the disciple yields his very existence into the hand of God.

This is the life that demands nothing for itself. Only here can one truly say, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:... and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God ... [Galatians 2:20]. In this life exploits are done for God. Here the Father speaks and the disciple speaks what he hears. In this realm the Father acts and what is seen is what is done. [John 8:28; 12:49; 14:10] - Selah
