Science behind FAITH

Science behind FAITH.

1. Faith is both gift and fruit of the Spirit.1Corinthians 12:9, Galatians 5:22

2.The woman with issues of blood:

Luke 8:43-48  And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him and how she was healed immediately.

And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

1 the woman had not been a believer

2.She had no indwelling of Holy Spirit.

3.She did not have the mastery of the Word

So how did she develop that level of faith?

Well, this may be a good explanation why faith is both gift and fruit of Holy Spirit.

From scripture three sources of faith are obvious:

1.The one that comes with seeing signs and wonder. John 4:48

2.The one that comes with hearing the word which is inspired by Holy Spirit. Romans 10:17

3. The one that comes as a gift of Holy Spirit. - unexplainable sources. This seems to be available to all.            Ephesians 2:8

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

To go deeper, when interfacing with God, three channels are available namely:

. Faithfulness, Grace and Mercy.

Faithfulness: you are qualified. Lamentation 3:23

Grace: you are in the process but not yet qualified, hence, you are given provisional qualified status pending your final qualification.Ezra 9:8, Titus 2:11.

Under Mercy: you have either failed qualification test, or your qualification have been revoked, but was given OTP(one time password) status to obtain all at discretion of God. Romans 9:15

In conclusion.

So now when you are under grace like woman with the issue of blood, faith can be given to you as a gift to enable you received from God. Three people can be standing before God demanding for the same thing but coming from different channels of FAITHFULNESS, GRACE and MERCY.

Hebrews 4:16  Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Religion vs. Spirituality

Religion vs Spirituality 

Maslow (1943) observed that humanity needs a relationship with supernatural (spiritual need) in his famous work "Hierarchy of Need".  This should be a good justification for evolution of religion on a global scale. However, on a critical and logical reasoning basis one may ask: is religion adequately taking care of this integral need of man?

If we examine religions today it features majorly today,  1.belief systems, 2. Doctrines, 3.practices,  4. laws, 5. Superstitions.  Historically, one fact that is indisputable is that man via religion wants to depend on the supernatural for solutions to problems especially the ones that defy human solutions. As a result, humanity is always using religion as a channel to communicate with supernatural and request for the desired solutions to problems. This is why prayers is an integral part of many religions. 

At this point, one fact is sacrosanct " In religion we do more of talking to God than listening to Him."

If we look at this critically, prayer in many religions violates the principle of communication, which is supposed to be a two-way relationship between the sender and receiver. A line of communication should allow for sending information and receiving of feedback.

Jesus Model

Jesus Christ gave us a perfect model of this phenomenon. When He was teaching his disciples how to pray, He taught them in  Mathew  6:10, Luke11:2…  to  say may " may your will be done on  earth as it is in heaven"  The logical deduction from this prayer is that the most important aspect of prayer is to receive a feedback from God on what his will concerning any particular situation a.k.a "His divine  purpose" 

.JESUS demonstrated this in his famous prayer in the garden of Gethsemane by sending a request o Father asking if the cup can pass over Him. He got a feedback immediately that He had to drink it, hence He immediately submitted to God's will. Matthew 26:39:44

The following facts are noteworthy:

Jesus advocated for Spirituality as opposed to religion. John 4:21-24 

Spirituality entails knowing the will of God, doing it or allowing it to be done.

In religion we do more of talking to God and less of hearing from Him. Mathew 6:7, Mathew15:9, Mark7:7

In Spirituality, we do more of listening and  striving to hear from God and less of talking to Him

Little wonder, Jesus never instituted any religion.

Just recently, the world is experiencing profound signs of the endtime. Matthew 24:5-7.  Pestilence (Covid19), Earthquakes in diverse places (Turkey, Syria, New Zeeland). How many of us from the household of God are conscious of these events or having a beforehand revelation of them?  This is because we preoccupy ourselves with loads of demands in our prayers and more than ever careless about what Spirit is saying. 

He who hath ears, let him hear what the Spirit is saying. Revelation:2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:22
