Operating in the Kingdom of Heaven with Almighty God’s Faith:
(Part A)
What is Faith?
Faith is a God given Gift.
Faith is a Grace given Gift from Almighty God.
“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to
think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according
as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3)
According to the book of Habakkuk the righteous will live be faith:
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what
He will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD
answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may
run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it
shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it
will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just
shall live by His Faith. (By the Lord Jesus Christ’s Faith the author and finisher of
all Faith.) (Habakkuk 2:1 – 4)
“And Jesus answering saith unto them have faith in God. For verily I say unto you,
that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast
into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things
which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
(Mark 11:22 – 23)
The Lord Jesus Christ is not saying, “Have Faith in God.” The Lord Jesus Christ is
saying have the Faith of my Father and your Father – My God and your God.

The book of 1 Corinthians makes the connection between faith and spiritual gifts:
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Now
there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of
administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but
it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit
is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word
of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another
Faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To
another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of
spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of
tongues. (I Corinthians 12:1, 4 – 10)
