What do I mean by the word “radical”? Today, when people hear that word, they equate it with “extremists” and even terrorists. But to me radical faith is an extreme unwavering faith that the Lord God does what He says in His Word. The proper definition relates to the root of something: relating to, or proceeding from a root; designed to remove the root of a disease or all diseased and potentially diseased tissue as in having “radical surgery”. So then, radical faith is getting to the root of God’s Word and all He has for us and that brings a radical change in our lives! Radical faith also is like the ‘radical surgery’ mentioned above, that gets to the root of our sin and removes it. That is what it takes in the Kingdom. This is a process to reach that point. We live in a fallen world and it is full of disobedience to the Lord God’s Word. In other words, it is full of sin—because all disobedience is sin. Those who live sinful lives are disobeying God. Sin is disobedience. 1 John 3:4 GWT
Your faith is all you need to live a victorious life while you are here on this earth. So we may just as well become radical in our faith in the Lord Jesus. Understand this, when a physician examines, he totally believes in what he is doing. He is sold out to science. We as citizens of the Kingdom should be sold out to the infallibility of the Lord God’s Word—meaning His promises to His people. For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory. 2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT
Yes! The Lord God’s promises were fulfilled in Christ! It is time His citizens of the Kingdom move up higher in our faith and become what He has designed us to be! When we were born again with His Holy Spirit, we not only became citizens of the Kingdom, but also children of the most high God. Read ambassador Paul’s words: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Romans 8:14-16 Keep this in the forefront of your mind, that just as the physicians are dedicated to science and their profession, we as Kingdom citizens should be dedicated to our Lord and King. . . dedicated to His Word. We are children of the most high King, heirs and co-heirs with our Lord Jesus. If children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. Romans 8:17
We should always be encouraged. We will be forever with our King! That is one of the reasons we should be radical with His Word in our lives! Believe His Word to the fullest regardless what the enemy throws at us. Nothing will shake us, nothing will move us away from this life in His Kingdom! Remember we are fighting a spiritual battle. Remember what ambassador Paul stated to the saints at Corinth. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Keep in mind, that because we live in a fallen world, it is a process to reach the level of faith in His Word that is needed; some longer than others. Some have greater spiritual battles than others. The important thing is to be ever moving forward, always growing in faith. Know that along the way, your faith will be tested and tried. It will make you stronger. Radical faith is strong and never moved by circumstances. It is bold! Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6
“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?" Jeremiah 32:27
So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:22-24
Remember your faith in His Word is your greatest asset in His Kingdom.
