Faith believes that God exists. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of not seen. We do not look at the things which are seen but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Faith precedes the first key which is to Ask God for His Holy Spirit, which proceeds from the Father and through Jesus Christ to us.
However, without faith we would not ask as His Kingdom is not of this world. The Kingdom is righteousness, joy and peace in the HOLY SPIRIT. We receive His Holy Spirit when we ask for this royal gift from His Majesty on high.
This glorious gift of the Holy Spirit lifts our hearts and minds to the unseen spiritual realm where our Lord is sitting on the right hand of the Father.
He provides us with a new birth, giving us the Water of life and the Spirit of truth when we accept this magnanimous gift by Faith. As it is written so it shall be done.
