Blessings brothers!

To be led by God and remain connected with the supernatural, faith is required. It is faith that allows us to fully trust God. Through faith we can take what is in the spiritual plane to the physical plane. Genuine faith is what pleases God. When God spoke to Abraham to leave his land, his family and go to another land; Abraham did not judge the word he had received from God. He believed it immediately, made it his own and activated it. This is genuine faith and the greatness of living in it.

Abraham's entire pilgrimage was by faith and not by sight. Abraham did not ask God for signs to believe whether he had spoken or not, simply God spoke to him and believed him.

The opposite happened with God's people in Egypt. God delivered them with ten plagues of the slavery of Egypt, delivered them from death when they reached the Red Sea, sustained them with manna and water in the desert; however, when people did not see the hand of God in action, they murmured and terrified against God and against Moses. People got used to seeing the wonders of God and not trusting that, under any circumstances, God was with them.

This same people of Israel who waited for the messiah, when they had him in their midst, did not believe that Jesus was the messiah.
He who walks by sight will show hardness of heart at all times. He who walks by faith always hears the voice of God and is sensitive to his presence and acts in accordance with God's will.

The righteous will live by faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God and by faith, we have full assurance that Christ will come soon for his church.
