Now Faith is...

As Jesus was passing by in Matthew chapter 9, three-blind men recognized their opportunity for a healing; they seized the moment by crying out "Thou son of David, have mercy on us." (Verse 27).
They did not ask for money, deliverance, or help; they asked for mercy. They recognized that if they must be made whole, and if their destinies were to be repaired, it would only happen on the template of mercy.
Mercy was the vehicle, conduit pipe, or channel by which they could obtain whatsoever it was they desired of the Master; but Jesus was going to introduce them to another spiritual principle by asking:
"Believe ye that I am able to do this?" (Verse 28).
So, Jesus was saying, although mercy is the template or vehicle by which your request is going to come; however, belief (or faith) is the acceptable currency for this transaction.
Any other thing would not be considered as a spiritual legal tender to acquire that which you desire; only faith (belief) would do!
These blind men searched within themselves and confirmed that although they had no physical currency or shekels, they certainly had the required 'spiritual currency' of faith and answered, "Yea Lord." (Verse 28).
Jesus responded by saying...
"...According to your faith be it unto you." (Mt. 9:29 - KJV).
We can only take delivery of our miracles in accordance with the measure of faith we demonstrate, show, or bring forth.
Men only receive according to faith (Rom. 12:3, 6).
Everything we could ever require for life and godliness is abundantly made available in God's treasure house. However, Dollars, Pounds, Yen, or any other kind of earthly currency will be totally unacceptable. The only acceptable currency is faith (or belief)!
This book will take you, the reader, beyond the shallow waters, and beyond the letter of the word; it will launch you into the Spirit behind the word, the intent, the integrity and immutability of the Word of God.
