From the book:”A Tree Called Morality” by Michael Tsaphah

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen, but without faith, it is impossible to please him [God], for he that cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. So, then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God…by what law; of works? No, but of the law of faith.¹⁵⁶

Picture, if you will, that you get a call from Los Angeles from a lawyer. He informs you that you are the inheritor of twenty billion dollars. Now the thing is that you own a wreck of a car. You must get to the lawyer’s office in ninety days. You start the car, and it dies because it starts smoking, blows a gasket, and then seizes up.

So, five miles outside of the town, you figure you will start thumbing a ride across America. You will hitchhike your way to Los Angeles to the lawyer’s office. Knowing you will do whatever it takes to get you there. Because you know your inheritance is waiting on you once you get there.

Think about it for a moment. Twenty billion dollars and all you have to do is walk, run, thumb, or jump a train. And all the money your rich relative left is yours to spend. Knowing this, you would go through hell or high water to get that money. Because, you know, the reward is worth it in the end, right?

Now picture, if you will, the same reward, but instead of unlimited cash to get whatever you want and need in the natural (I know that  word, honest, has shown up again. However, you’re reading me right, and you know you were I’m going with this I hope, so just listen.)

Naturally, those twenty billion dollars would take care of you only because you’re the only one benefiting from your gain of success, right? You could buy an island and live the rest of your life free from troubles until the next hurricane blew your way.

Maybe you could give the money to charity. That’s mighty nice of you, but still, which one? Everyone is in need. How could you tell who a legit charity case was? Knowing nothing but what you know in the natural might help you keep your goals, but you can’t cut through the truth.

You need more than natural abilities to keep the $20,000,000,000 from driving you mad. And keeping you free to live, move, and have you’re being to stay sane in this life and keep your liberty intact. In reality, the money you were given was a gift, and just waiting to focus only on goal pursuit of happiness would be very selfish.

Maybe, this is why most people buy what they buy: the big fences, guard dogs, the bodyguards, and they have the scheduled suicidal life that they live—blowing all of the lottery money and becoming a bag-lady or homeless man holding a sign on the street.

When was the last time these rich people, or for that matter, any of us? We left our wealth at home in the bank and fed five thousand people with a two-piece-fish dinner. Moreover, we used nothing more than a little boy’s lunch and only had their faith.

According to a scientist who uses the law of physics and mathematical equations, some of the miracles Christ Jesus did by using faith were naturally impossible and defied these laws. Others in Christianity believe that you can’t do what Jesus did without money, While others believe his miracles are fables or old wives’ tales.

Jesus of Nazareth, the proven messianic Son of God, used these same principles to create the known universe. He used this same principle by operating in his earthly ministry, and he taught his disciple how to use this one supernatural (spiritual) laws, and the law he taught most about is the law of faith.¹⁵⁷

The question to all of the scientists of every discipline is, what did Jesus do in his life? Was he getting the power to do miracles and healings? What principles worked while Christ Jesus was on earth? Can his disciples use these same principles? Can any person work their way to help humanity to be a success or save their life?

No, but in Christ by the law of faith, just like when a pilot uses laws of physics like lift, inertia, and power and is forced to move a plane in gravity. So, can a person use the law of faith to move through society and the curse of the natural? Is the law of faith a scientific principle like the natural laws of physics? We will find it here.

Because scientists state that faith isn’t a law or theory that can be proven mathematically or a hypothesis, they are all wrong on all accounts. Scripture at the begins the chapter is the principles of faith, which these laws are the foundation of the Bible. These principles work according to the manual of the Creator of all we see and don’t see.¹⁵⁸

Nevertheless, how do you define the word “faith”? Now faith in Hebrew is אֵמוּן (pronounced as ay-moon’) means to be established that is trust or trustworthy and has the truth.¹⁵⁹ Where in the Greek isπίστις (pronounced pis-tis)^xvi from the Greek word convince or to persuasion, that is, to have belief; to have a moral conviction (of religious truth, or the truthfulness of God or a spiritual teacher), especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself.¹⁶⁰ So, to Biblically have the fact it is not in argument by it is a force.

NOW FAITH is the assurance[the trusting]* (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as indisputable fact what is not revealed to the senses]^.161 When we look at the word faith, we see nothing because you can’t see faith. Why? It’s like gravity. Can you see gravity?

And Jesus said unto them, because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, remove hence to place yonder; and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible unto you.¹⁶²

We can even see the natural effect of other laws of physics and nature. Moreover, the natural laws, as proven, can work for or against us on this earth in the natural, earthly, and carnal realms. You maybe asking, how does that establish that the law of faith is viable or authentic biblical principles, and how does it operate?

You are looking at the twenty billion dollars, which the inheritance is in the lawyer’s office. You could see the money, but you have a letter, right? The money is there according to the letter, isn’t it? You don’t know, do you? You have to trust a letter from someone you have never seen, and you need to go by faith (trust) in what the person you can’t see in front of you spoke or wrote in the letter. The only way you will get the money, or you will never know the reward.

Then faith is brought about by an equation that must be plugged in. Faith is the first part of the equation by hearing. The Greek word ἀκοή pronounced ak-o-ay, is a verb: meaning to give an audience, to come to the ear, to hear, be noised, be reported, to bring to understanding, or by listening.¹⁶³

Faith comes by hearing (understanding), and hearing (understanding) by the word of God.¹⁶⁴                                                         

The measure that a person understands the word of God plus the measurable level of faith a person is given (great, minor, or no faith) equals salvation (What is salvation? The Greek word defines it perfectly. The word sōtēria σωτηρία [pronounced so-tay-ree’-ah] is a noun; rescue or safety, both physically or morally. This rescuing brings deliverance, health, and salvation of the Spirit, soul and body.¹⁶⁵) of a person who calls to God the Father through Jesus Christ the moment of salvation.

As the person receiving the Spirit of Christ.¹⁶⁶ A humble child of God and friend of Christ will not think proudly of themselves, but they will operate in the measure of faith given to them.¹⁶⁷ Because faith is in the evidence always, today, never in the impossibility of past failures, not operating if faith will be sin.¹⁶⁸

Faith is never about the problem trying to change, which this type of thinking is stupid. That would be like God saying to the earth, which was formless and void of life at the beginning of its creation, to create itself some light and become alive again.

Neither can the sick, possessed, or lost get salvation by themselves. That’s not how faith words. If you have the Spirit of God living in you (the burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God), it is your measure of faith that God will use to heal, deliver, or save the person, and if you don’t understand how to use the law of faith properly. You have failed, not God or the person in need of help.

Remember the $20,000,000,000.00 problem? Think about it. I mean, think about it. You can ask yourself, is this money all a bad joke? You’ll never know unless you step out the door. This definition is what faith is in the spiritual realm. Because without faith it is impossible to please him (God), for he that comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.¹⁶⁹

• _{r = the known variable of the law of reciprocity (law of sowing and reaping (Genesis  8:22 KJV).}
• _{F= the law of faith Romans 3:27 KJV…} is equal to the meaning and understanding that faith will never boost in prideful confidence. However, using the divine word while guided by the Divine Expression of who is the Lord God Jesus the Messiah. A person will be able to use the natural law of reciprocity (the law of sowing and reaping), which a person will be equal to move under the guidance of the Spirit of the knowledge and the fear of the Lord with the Spirit of faith and meekness through the Holy Spirit. These factors activate the law of faith.
• _sw³= spoken word in the divine Godhead (God the Father, the divine Expression/and the divine word, and the Holy Spirt [which has seven characteristics {Isaiah 11:2; 2 Corinthian 4:13; Galatians 6:1; Zechariah 12:10; Isaiah 11:2c} also known as the seven Spirits of God] and all are one -— Deuteronomy 6:4-6 KJV)
• _{u = A 72-hour or three days for understanding the word given.}
• _{w = the wisdom in a thought (120 mps [meter per second])} ²⁴ _{= the acceptance of the evidence given by the divine word of God.} 
• _k³ = the knowledge that is then given by any # of that is given through the λόγος (the living word)to travel the speed of light (186,282.397 miles per second)in 1 day x 3 light speeds.
• t = time without measuring in eternity.
• ∞ = an infinite unknown variable of wisdom that can’t be explained but work in a constant and will not stop until accomplished.

Remember this formula:

This understanding is another part of having and operating in the faith formula. This formula means mankind moves all things, circumstances, and problems the opposing forces. And in belief (trust [the positive power of God’s word]) in who God said he is, and in trusting in what he wrote in the Bible and hoping what God said he would do concerning who God said he was in the Bible. The just shall live by faith.¹⁷⁰

We must diligently seek his face and veil ourselves in the shadow of his counsel and might, which this Spirit (characteristic) comes from the Holy Spirit. Who is he, you ask? He is the Father (ABBA) of all creation and is all we see and doesn’t see.

In the Body of Christ, he is our Provider ([יְהוָֹה יִרֵה]^a Jehovah Jireh), which this name is interpreted as THE LORD OUR PROVIDER. Then there is God is our banner, ([יְהוָֹה נִסִּי] ^b Jehovah Nissi) which is interpreted as THE LORD OUR BANNER. Then there is God, who is our sanctification ([מַקָדֵּש יְהוָֹה]^c Jehovah M’kaddesh), which it is interpreted as THE LORD OUR SANCTIFICATION. Then there is God, who is our shepherd ([יְהוָֹה רֹעִי] ^d Jehovah Rōʻyē), which is interpreted as THE LORD MY SHEPHERD. Then there is God being our righteousness, ([[יְהוָֹה צִדְקֵנוּ^e Jehovah tsidkenu) which is interpreted as THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. He is always there in our presence today, yesterday, and forever. This present God being is known as ([יְהוָֹה שָׁמָּה]^f Jehovah Shammah), which it is interpreted as: THE LORD IS THERE.¹⁷¹ Then God is our peace, ([יְהוָֹה שָׁלוֹם]^g Jehovah Shalom)which is interpreted as: THE LORD OUR SHALOM

In the very presence of God Almighty are all of these names that describe the true character of Jesus Christ, who is God Almighty can never be taken lightly, and he is found in Christ Jesus.

All the names of God mainly were the name of altars, which were places of worship.¹⁷² As Paul stated, Jesus was the shadow of things to come, so these names were also the shadow of things to come. Jesus was the good shepherd (I AM the GOOD SHEPHERD). Jesus was our righteousness (I AM the Great I AM). Jesus was the great physician (THE LORD OUR HEALER).¹⁷²

These names of God were labeled on the altars of God Almighty ([אֵל-שַׁדַּי] El-Shaddai), which this name is interpreted as the mighty one that satisfies.¹⁷³ So, the faith that comes by hearing [the word hearing is the Greek word: ἀκοή (pronounced ak-o-ay’)From [ἀκούω (pronounced ak-oo’-o) A primary verb; to hear (in various senses): – give (in the) audience (of), come (to the ears), ([shall]) hear (-er, -ken), be noised, be reported, understand.] hearing (the act, the sense or the thing heard): – audience, ear, fame, which ye heard, hearing, preached, report, rumor.], and the hearing/understanding is given…by the Word of God…by what law does faith operate in or under; of works (willing it to happen or that it just falls out of the sky)?

No, the law of faith is a principle that works like any other law of physics or nature. This definition is what produces faith: hearing or understanding the word. Then get an agreement with God and another person, and then the manifestation of what you want.

Look closely at what Jesus did by feeding the five thousand. He heard the problem (hungry people). The three disciple’s solutions to the situation were to send the people away, collect money to buy bread, and get a little boy’s lunch. Getting agreement from God the Father and Andrew with bringing the little boy’s lunch got faith to work.

Even though there is a law or principle of force that will help mankind work. Mankind will work in the law of faith, and we can have the same capacity for more fantastic work and operate just like Christ did when he walked on earth.

Even though we are his creation, we are the only being designed to be like God and not trying to be God. However, we were individually created to be like him. Better known as his offspring.

I have a hard enough time being a man, so how do I become like God? The answer is simple. Be like Jesus. Operating in the law of faith is the first step you take action to be like God. In the New Testament, Jesus stated that they come to God and must go to him in Spirit. And the only way to be like God is to accept Jesus as Lord and savior because you can never be a god!

Therefore, knowing who He brings the Spirit of the knowledge and the fear of the Lord. The believer fears the Lord, and this reverential fear towards the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and knowledge. Having this wisdom is your life in total rest in Christ Jesus.

Having the Holy Spirit will bring the character of the Spirit of faith, which this Spirit is one of the seven Spirits of God. I lose myself because God wants me to be a sinful empty man who wants his Spirit in me, and it makes me more than just a Christ.

The Godhead of the whole universe gave us evidence of this so-called mysterious God of the heavens. All we have to do is read the Bible to understand him. Faith isn’t a mystery but a simple principle act of reverence to the one that created us.

It seems that this very act of blind faith to some that don’t know a father’s love is crazy but not having faith in the heavenly Father seems more fearless than foolish. Faith is, therefore, the glue that brings him that would appear to be distant closer to the evidence that he (God) is accurate.

Without him (by not knowing who God is and what he can do), it would be impossible to believe that he is, and that’s why none can seek him diligently without faith. The reward is not in getting stuff or going to heaven. It is the fact that he has so much faith in man. If we honestly look at what he has done for man, I’m not talking about showing mercy to all the wicked people in the world.

God has so much faith in a man that Jesus Christ, after taking back the dominion that Adam lost in the Garden of Eden. He said he wouldn’t return until his body had completed his mission of the Great Commission.

This fulfillment of the Great Commission is why he asked his disciples, “When the Son of man returns will he find faith (meaning will Jesus see the law of faith in operation) on the earth?” ¹⁷⁴ The answer is, without a doubt, yes! That is why works alone can’t save you, and what does it mean in the scripture, “by works?” So, the question I am asking you is. What is the actual work of faith?
