The Manifestation Comes By Faith
By: Rick L. King
Feb 2, 2015

Are you or is some person that you know very frustrated because it seems the answers needed just don't come? If so there is a reason for this.

First of all frustration is not included in the fruit of the spirit.

Galatians 5:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Where do we find frustration in the above scripture? Frustration is only the fruit of the flesh. Frustration comes when we can't or don't seem to get what our flesh wants in our time schedule. Please notice that faith is one of the fruits of the spirit. We are told that it takes faith to please God. God is moved by faith, not by our frustrations and complaining about something. He is not even really moved by our need. He moves as we are obedient and in faith. We can't even be in faith, God's faith, until we are in the spirit and out of our flesh. God gave to us what we need to gain the manifestations in the natural. We must learn that we possess our land and that it is just not dropped in our lap. Often we must fight for it. The fight that I am talking about is the fight in the spirit through prayer and warfare. God gave to us the keys to the kingdom yet few in the church rarely use them. God puts them in our hands and for the most part the church just throws them on the ground as they either don't believe what God said or they just really don't want to have to put forth the efforts. It is easier to complain and criticize.

The problem is that what is not of faith is sin. If we are not walking by faith then since when does God bless sin? He does not bless sin. He blesses faith. People may say but you don't know what I am dealing with. No I probably don't but believe me I have had my share and this is why I can write what I write because though it took awhile I finally learned some truth that set me free.

Mt 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Mt 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Lu 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Php 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

God desires us to be content, with or without. The only way that we can do this is to learn how to break through in the spirit. We learn to use our authority. The keys are our authority. Keys lock or unlock doors in our life. We can beat on the door all we want but we need a key to open it. There are many good books written out there on the Authority of the Believer. These books contain a very needed and valuable truth that the body of Christ needs to get a hold on.

What I have found to be true is that when we do our part to posses our land in the spirit, the day will come that we will see the manifestation in the natural. During the time in between we will be able to be at peace and content. The time of manifestation is in God's hands. We cannot dictate that. We can dictate however how we are going to respond to the problems and trials that we face. We can get bitter, angry, complain, criticize, become jealous, or we can be content while we are waiting for the answers to manifest. The choice is really ours. The choice is a focus. We can focus on the answers and praise God by faith, or we can focus on all the problems and the lack that we feel we face and just sit and complain and be miserable. Like everything with the Lord, he gives to us a choice.
