Essence is the basic, real and invariable nature of a thing or its significant individual features. In other words, it's impossible to operate in the Kingdom without it. Ambassador Paul's letter to the Hebrews made it very clear: And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. It is because of the faith of Abraham taking the Lord God at His Word that the world has the opportunity to share in His salvation to the world. This is why your faith in the Lord Jesus is so important. Simply put, faith is taking someone at their word without ever having to be shown that they can or will do whatever they said they would do. Abram took the Lord God at His Word just because He stated it. The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father’s family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you.”
And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith. Without the Lord God showing him anything, he took Him at His Word. That should be the response of every citizen of the Kingdom of God when reading and studying His Constitution, meaning the Word. Without it there is no way that you can please Him. By the way, without faith you will not receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Again, ambassador Paul made it clear to those who have the ear to listen and learn: Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.
Faith in the Lord Jesus the Christ has nothing whatsoever to do with the color of your skin, your culture or your language. It has everything to do with your faith in the Lord Jesus the Christ. There are many religions that embrace their skin color or their culture. In my personal experience, I have found this very true among African Americans. I also have found that many religious Caucasians will not follow a leader of color. In both of those examples, they have greater faith in their own skin color than in the Lord Jesus the Christ. All this behavior is a trick of demonic forces. The enemy has set out to divide the people of faith. That is because they have their faith in the wrong object. If they were focused on the Lord Jesus the Christ, that wouldn't happen. Many people are led by their emotions, because they don't have the Holy Spirit or aren't tuned in to His leading. Attending a church doesn't mean you have the guidance of the Holy Spirit--the Governor. We will continue learning about faith next week.
Remember you greatest asset is your faith in the Lord Jesus the Christ. He is the answer...now what was the question...
