And when you discover what it was, when you understand why it worked, you'll see why the early church experienced power we, modern church rarely see in our daily living.
The Most Misunderstood Type of Faith in the Bible
The teachings reveal that one of the most powerful forms of faith in Scripture has been hiding in plain sight.
This message uncovers the difference between striving to produce faith and discovering The Faith that already operates through your union with Christ.
When this truth becomes clear, the pressure to believe harder fades, and your walk with God shifts from effort to resting in The Faith that cannot fail.
Peace of Christ be upon you, dear reader.
There's a type of faith in the Bible that most Christians have never been taught.
And it's the most powerful Faith that exists.
It's not your faith in God. It's God's Faith in you.
And when you discover what this faith is, when you understand how it operates, when you learn to access it, you'll stop trying to manufacture faith and start operating from The Faith that cannot fail.
This changes everything.
In Galatians 2:20, apostle Paul wrote something that most believers read but never understand. He said,"l am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, 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, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Did you catch that?
Apostle Paul didn't say he lived by his faith in the Son of God. He said he lived by the faith of the Son of God.
That's not a typo error. That's not a translation error.
That's the revelation of the most powerful faith in existence.
The faith that belongs to Jesus Christ.
The faith Jesus Christ has.
And that faith is in you right now.
Today you're going to discover what this faith is, how it's different from your faith in God, and how to access it.
This is the missing piece that makes everything else work.
Let's start by exposing why this type of faith is so misunderstood.
Most believers have been taught that faith is something you produce, you work it up, you develop it, you exercise it.
It's your faith, your believing, your confidence, your trust. And the stronger your faith, the better your results.
But that entire model puts the pressure on you.
It makes faith dependent on your ability to believe, your capacity to trust, your strength to hold on.
And when results don't come, the assumption is always the same. Your faith wasn't strong enough. You didn't believe hard enough. You let doubt in. The problem is you.
But Galatians 2:20 {I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless 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, who loved me, and gave himself for me.}
Galatians 2:20 reveals something radically different.
Apostle Paul didn't live by his own faith. He lived by the faith of the Son of God.
That's possessive.
The Faith that belongs to Jesus Christ.
The Faith Jesus Christ has.
And here's the revolutionary part.
That faith is not something you produce.
It is something you access.
It is not your faith working.
It's Christ's faith operating in you.
And Christ's faith never fails, never waivers, never doubts.
Because it is not dependent on your ability to believe.
It is dependent on Jesus Christ's nature.
And His nature is perfect, complete, unchanging.
Most believers have never heard this taught.
They've been told about faith in God.
They've been instructed to develop their faith.
They've been shown how to exercise faith, but they've never been shown that there's another faith available.
The Faith that doesn't depend on them.
The Faith that belongs to Christ.
The Faith that's already in them because Christ is in them.
And when you discover this faith, when you learn to operate from it instead of trying to produce your own, everything shifts.
You stop striving to believe and start resting in the One who already believes.
You stop trying to manufacture faith and start accessing the faith that's already yours in Christ.
You must understand this with clarity.
Note: "The faith of the Son of God is not your faith in Him. It is His Faith inside you. It's the faith He has. It's the faith that raised Him from the dead, that healed the sick, that cast out demons, that spoke to mountains, and they moved. "
And that faith lives in you because He lives in you.
You're not trying to believe enough.
You're learning to let His faith operate through you.
The faith of the Son of God is not your faith in Him.
It is His Faith inside you. That sentence should revolutionize your entire approach to faith.
Because if Christ's faith is in you, if it's his faith operating, not yours working, then the pressure is off.
The burden is lifted.
You're not trying to produce what you don't have.
You're accessing what you already possess in Him.
So, what is the faith of the Son of God?
And how is it different from your faith in God?
Let's define both precisely because the difference is everything.
Your faith in God is your confidence in HIM.
Your trust in His promises, your belief that He will do what He said.
And that's good. That's necessary.
The Bible commands it.
But here's the limitation.
Your faith in God is dependent on your understanding, your awareness, your consciousness.
If you do not know a promise, you can't have faith for it.
If you're not aware of your position, you can't believe from it.
Your faith rises and falls based on what you know and how you see.
It's subjective, variable, human.
But the faith of the Son of God is something entirely different.
It is not your confidence in God. It is God's confidence in His Word.
It is Christ's absolute unwavering perfect trust in everything the Father said.
And here's the key.
That faith does not depend on your understanding.
This type of faith does not rise or fall based on your awareness.
It is objective, constant, divine.
It's the faith Jesus Christ operated with when He walked the earth.
The faith that said to the storm, "Peace, be still." In Mark 4:39, "And the storm obeyed."
The faith that said to the fig tree, "No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever in Mark 11:14, and it withered."
The faith that said to Lazarus, "Come forth in John 11:43, and a dead man walked out of the tomb."
That is the faith of the Son of God.
Perfect faith, unwavering faith, faith that cannot fail because it's rooted in the nature of God Himself.
And Galatians 2:20 reveals that this faith is in you, not just available to you, in you, because Christ is in you.
Colossians 1:27 says, "Christ in you, the hope of glory."
He is not just with you. He is in you.
And when He is in you, everything He is, is in you.
His righteousness is in you.
His life is in you.
His love is in you.
And His Faith is in you.
You don't have to work it up.
You don't have to develop it.
It is already there.
The question is, are you accessing it?
Now, let's see how this works practically.
Romans 3:22 says, "Even the righteousness of God, which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe."
The righteousness of God comes by the faith of Jesus Christ, not by your faith in Jesus Christ, it is by His faith, the faith He has, the faith He exercised.
And that faith produces righteousness in you. Not your faith working to make you righteous.
It is His faith declaring you righteous because of what He did.
Or look at Philippians 3:9.
Apostle Paul says, "And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith."
The righteousness that is of God comes through the faith of Christ.
Again, not your faith in Christ, it is His faith, the faith that belongs to HIM.
And that faith produces the righteousness of God in you.
You're not trying to become righteous through your believing. You are righteous through His faith, His perfect, unwavering, absolute trust in the FATHER'S Word.
This is revolutionary when you let it sink in because it means your righteousness, your acceptance, your standing before God is not dependent on the strength of your faith.
It's dependent on the perfection of Christ's faith.
And His faith is perfect, always, completely, unchangingly.
Which means your righteousness is secure.
Not because you believed well enough, because Jesus Christ believed perfectly and His faith is what established your position.
Let me give you a vivid example of how this works.
Imagine you're in a courtroom. You've been accused. The evidence looks bad and you're told that your fate depends on how convincingly you can argue or prove your own case. So, you try. You present your arguments. You marshall your evidence. You work as hard as you can to prove your innocence. But you're not a lawyer. You don't know legal procedure. You're struggling. And your fate hangs on your ability to argue well enough. That's your faith trying to save you. Your effort, your work, your ability.
But now imagine a different scenario. The greatest lawyer in history steps in. He says, "I'm taking your case, not as your assistant, as your substitute. Your fate no longer depends on your arguments. It depends on mine. And my arguments are perfect, flawless, irrefutable."
That is the faith of the Son of God. His perfect advocacy, His flawless case, His irrefutable righteoysness.
And when He represents you, when His faith is what establishes your standing, you're not hoping your faith is good enough.
You're resting in the fact that His faith is perfect. That is Galatians 2:20.
You're not defending yourself with your faith.
Christ is living through you with His faith, and His faith has already won the case.
Your righteousness is not on trial.
It's established not by your believing, but by His perfect trust in the Father's declaration that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, according to 2 Corinthians 5:21.
Now, how do you access this faith?
How do you operate from the faith of the Son of God instead of trying to produce your own faith?
The answer is in understanding your union with Christ.
Galatians 2:20 says, "I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me."
Not l, but Christ. P
Apostle Paul is saying, "It's not me living anymore. It's Christ living through me."
And if Christ is living through you, then everything He is, operates through you, including His faith.
This is what Jesus Christ meant in John 15:5 when He said, "l am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit. For without me, ye can do nothing."
Apart from Him, you can do nothing. but abiding in Him, connected to Him, His life flows through you.
His power operates through you.
His faith works through you.
You're not the source. You're the vessel.
The branch doesn't produce the fruit. The vine does.
The branch just stays connected and lets the life of the vine flow through it.
Think about a branch on a vine. The branch does not try to produce grapes.
It doesn't strive to make fruit happen.
It doesn't work itself up into grape bearing mode.
It simply stays connected to the vine.
And as it abides, as it remains attached, the life of the vine flows through it and fruit appears.
Not because the branch worked hard, because the vine is alive and the branch stayed connected.
That's exactly how the faith of the Son of God operates in you.
You don't produce it. You abide in Him.
You stay connected.
And His faith flows through you.
Not your faith working, it is his faith operating.
And His faith produces results because His faith is perfect.
Powerfully explaination.
When you understand that Christ's faith is in you, you stop trying to manufacture your own faith and start resting in His.
You stop striving to believe and start abiding in the One who already believes perfectly.
Your job is not to work up faith.
Your job is to stay connected to Christ and let His faith operate through you.
When you understand that Christ's faith is in you, that is the shift.
That is the rest.
You're not producing faith. You're accessing faith.
The faith of the Son of God. The faith that is already in you because He's in you.
Here's where everything converges into one life altering truth.
Every time you've struggled to believe, every time you've tried to work up faith, every time you felt like your faith wasn't strong enough, you were operating from the wrong faith.
You were trying to produce your own faith in God instead of accessing Christ's faith in you.
And your faith being human, being subjective, being dependent on your understanding and awareness rises and falls. It struggles. It waivers. It doubts.
But Christ's faith never does.
His faith is perfect, constant, unwavering, and it's in you right now.
This is what apostle Paul was revealing in Ephesians 2:8 when he wrote, "For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God."
The faith that saved you is not of yourselves.
It's not your faith.
It's the gift of God.
It's the faith of the Son of God.
You didn't produce the faith that saved you. God gave it.
Christ's faith accomplished it. And your salvation is secure not because you believed well enough, but because His faith is perfect.
And if His faith saved you, if His faith established your righteousness, if His faith secured your position, then His faith can handle everything else.
Healing, provision, peace, victory, everything you need.
His faith is sufficient for, not your faith working to obtain it.
His faith that already obtained it.
You're not trying to believe for healing.
You're resting in the faith of the Son of God who already secured healing, by His stripes according to 1 Peter 2:24.
You're not trying to work up your own faith for provision.
You're abiding in the faith of Christ who already promised that your God shall supply all your need according to Philippians 4:19.
Do you see the difference?
One approach puts all the pressure on you. The other one rests everything on HIM.
One depends on your ability to believe. The other depends on Jesus' perfect faith.
One rises and falls with your understanding. The other one remains constant because Jesus Christ never changes.
And which one do you think produces better results?
The faith you manufacture or the faith Jesus Christ provides.
Let me show you how this works in daily life.
You wake up and symptoms are screaming.
Your old approach was to try to work up faith for healing.
You'd try to convince yourself you're healed.
You'd try to feel it.
You'd try to believe it despite the evidence.
And it was exhausting because you were trying to produce faith strong enough to override what you were experiencing.
But now you understand the faith of the Son of God. So instead of trying to manufacture your own faith, you simply recognize that Christ is in you.
His faith is in you. His faith already secured healing. And you rest in that.
You thank HIM for it. You speak it. You act on it. Not because you worked up enough faith, because HIS faith is perfect and you're abiding in HIM.
Or you're facing financial pressure, bills are due, money is tight. Your old approach was to pray desperately for God to provide while trying to work up faith that He would.
And the whole time you're wondering if your faith is strong enough.
But now you understand Christ is in you. His faith is in you.
His faith already established that your God supplies all your need. So you don't try to manufacture faith.
You rest in His.
You thank Him that provision is already secured.
You act on His Word, not because you believe perfectly because His faith is perfect and you're connected to Him.
This is exactly what Hebrews 12:2 means when it calls Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.
He's the author. He started it. He initiated it. And He's the finisher.
Не completes it. He perfects it.
Your faith isn't something you author. It's something He authors.
And when you're looking to Him, when you're abiding in Him, when you're connected to Him, His faith operates through you, not your faith working, it is His faith working in you.
And here's the promise.
Romans 1:17 says, "For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, the just shall live by faith, from faith to faith, not from no faith to a little faith, to more faith, from His faith to your faith, from the faith of Christ to faith in Christ.
You start with His perfect faith that saved you, that made you righteous, that secured your position.
And from that foundation, from that confidence in what He's already done, your faith in Him operates, not independently, but dependently, your faith flows from His faith.
Your believing rests on His perfect trust, and that's what makes it unshakable.
Let's bring this to absolute clarity.
The most misunderstood type of faith in the Bible is the faith of the Son of God. Not your faith in the Son of God, but His faith.
The Faith He has.
The Faith that's perfect, unwavering, and absolute. And that faith is in you right now because Christ is in you.
You're not trying to produce faith.
You're accessing the faith that's already yours in Him. You're not striving to believe well enough. You're resting in the one whose faith is perfect. You're not working to manufacture confidence. You're abiding in the faith of Christ that never fails.
The practical application is profound.
Stop trying to work up your own faith.
Stop measuring whether you believe strongly enough.
Stop striving to produce confidence you don't feel.
Instead, recognize that Christ is in you.
And if Christ is in you, His faith is in you.
Perfect faith, unwavering faith, faith that cannot fail.
And your job is not to manufacture that faith.
Your job is to abide in Him, stay connected to Him, and let His faith operate through you.
When you need healing, you don't try to work up faith for healing.
You recognize that Christ's faith already secured healing by His stripes, and you rest in that.
You thank him for it.
You act on it.
Not because your faith is strong, but because His faith is perfect.
When you face financial pressure, you don't strive to believe for provision.
You abide in the One whose faith already declared that your God supplies all your need.
And you rest in that.
You thank Him for it.
You live from it.
Not because you manufactured enough faith, but because His faith is sufficient.
And here's what's beautiful about this.
When you stop trying to produce your own faith and start resting in His, the pressure is off.
You're not constantly questioning whether you believe enough.
You're not measuring your own faith to see if it's strong enough.
You're not striving to work up confidence you don't feel.
Instead, you're simply abiding, staying connected, remaining in Him.
And as you abide, His faith operates.
His perfect, unwavering, absolute faith that cannot fail and results follow.
Not because you believed well enough, it is because His faith is perfect.
This is what 1John 5:4 means when it says, "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcomemeth the world, even our faith."
The victory that overcomes the world is our faith.
But what faith?
The context reveals it's the faith that comes from being born of God.
The faith that's in you because God's life is in you.
The faith of the Son of God.
And that faith overcomes, not struggles to overcome, not tries to overcome, overcomes, present tense, accomplished fact, because His faith is already victorious.
This is what it means to live by the faith of the Son of God.
You stop depending on your ability to believe and start depending on His perfect faith.
You stop trying to produce what you don't have and start accessing what you already possess in Him.
You stop striving and start resting because His faith is inside you, complete, perfect, sufficient.
And when you operate from His faith instead of trying to manufacture your own, results follow.
Not because you believed well enough, it is because His faith never fails.
Here is the final word.
The Christian life is not you trying to have enough faith in Christ.
It's Christ's perfect faith operating through you.
Stop trying to produce. Start abiding.
Stop striving to believe. Start resting in the One who already believes perfectly.
His faith is in you and His faith is enough.
The Christian life is not you trying to have enough faith in Christ. It's Christ's perfect faith operating through you.
That's the revelation.
That's the rest.
That's the faith of the Son of God.
And it's yours right now.
Not because you earned it , it is because He's in you.
And where Christ Jesus is, His faith is perfect, unwavering, sufficient always.
You don't need to develop more faith.
You need to discover the faith you already have in Christ.
You don't need to work up believing. You need to rest in His perfect trust.
You don't need to strive to produce confidence. You need to abide in the One whose faith cannot fail.
That's the faith of the Son of God.
That's the most misunderstood and most powerful Faith in the Bible. And it's in you.
(Galatians 2:20.) The life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God.
Not your faith.
His and His is enough.
Always, completely, perfectly enough.
If this teaching has revealed that you have access to the faith of the Son of God, that Christ's perfect faith is inside you right now, and that you can rest in His faith instead of striving to produce your own; I want you to declare it.
Hand copy this and declare 🗣️these words:
I live by the faith of the Son of God. His perfect faith operates through me.
Not as something you're trying to develop.
Write ✍🏽 it as the settled truth of Galatians 2:20.
Christ is in you. His faith is in you. And you're learning to let His faith work instead of trying to manufacture your own.
This is you stepping into rest. Do it now.
Write ✍🏽 and speak 🗣️: I live by the faith of the Son of God. His perfect faith operates through me.
Now, understanding that you have access to Christ's perfect faith changes everything.
But there's one practice the first believers engaged in that made their prayers so effective that entire cities were transformed, the sick were healed on mass, and even their shadows carried power.
It wasn't longer prayers.
It wasn't louder prayers.
It wasn't more desperate prayers.
It was one specific thing they did that most modern believers have completely abandoned.
And when you discover what it was, when you understand why it worked, you'll see why the early church experienced power we rarely see and experience.
The Faith of Jesus Christ in believer ...
