Faith without Works

"But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?" James 2:20. Faith is believing in things, the evidence of which have not been seen.

I am a man of great faith. I have faith where most others fall away into doubt, and mostly my faith comes through for me and things that I am believing for happen. Why does God honour my faith? Simply because mostly my faith is accompanied by my works. If I am believing that God will speak to me, then I have to place myself into a position that makes it possible for God to actually speak to me, and I have to wait and listen for God's voice. To have the faith that God will speak to you, and to then never wait and listen or allow God the opportunity to talk to you, is having faith but without works.

If you are having faith and believing that God will use you to reach the sick and heal the sick, but never bother to go out and pray for the sick or even go to visit the sick, then that is unfounded faith without any works. Have faith that God will use you, then step out and go do what you believe in and then God will honour your faith. 

Faith   x     Works   =     Blessings

1000   x       0           =            0         If you have no works, then it does not matter how much faith that you may have, the end result will always be zero. Anything multiplied by zero will always be zero. However even the smallest amount of faith with a small amount of works will return results and the results of the above equation will be changed to this.

2           x       2            =             4      The minute that we have some faith combined with some works, we have results which can also be termed as blessings. God will bless your hand if you have both faith and works and the blessing returned to you will be the results of an equation similar to the above, where the amount of faith combined with the amount of works will determine the amount of blessings.

In short, if you wish to walk in the blessings of God, then you need to take the faith that you have, combine it with works and then the blessings shall be returned to you out of your faithfulness. If you are believing for God to bless you with a new job, then you need to take the faith that you have in God to supply a job, and combine it with applying for a new job and making yourself available to receive the new job. If you believe for that new job, but never bother to look for or make yourself available for a new job, then how can God ever give you that new job.

If you are believing for financial blessings from God, then you need to take the faith that you have, combined with works in the obedience of God's word in the area of giving, and then the blessings will start to rain down. Walk in a good combination of both faith and works,  and you will see change and blessings start to pour into your life.

Faith without works is dead. Works without faith is also dead. Faith with works results in blessings.
