The kind of faith taught by Jesus Christ himself is an ability to tap into the love and power and wise ways of the Father to bring about worthy changes in the physical world or spiritual world. It is one step removed from divinity of the Father, and is at a level of Temple of the Father. Jesus was renowned for this, as made known in public and private miracles which he did to accompany his teachings: changing water into wine, feeding thousands with a tiny amount of food, walking on water in a storm, calming a storm by spoken command to it, raising the dead by commanding them, then after his own resurrection, arresting Saul of Tarsus in Saul’s programme of persecuting the followers of Jesus, revealing things to John on Patmos, and his name being invoked to perform miracles such as healings and further raising of the dead by Jesus’ apostles. Those who remove their paths far from this faith are akin to the Northern Tribes who removed their paths from the Temple, and became darkened in their spiritual lives. Sin is the result of this departure, because it leads to blindness to the things of the Father, and loss of outward expression of any devotion to the Father as Most High God. Arguably the global churches departed from such a way of active faith only a few centuries after the New Testament times and became blinded too. We need to revert to this kind active faith. Pentecostalism started to return but it seems to have stopped for many. When the Son of Man returns, will he find faith on the earth?
