Title: Christ's foundational command for us to operate in supernatural faith    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have Holy Spirit Faith.
The disciples were amazed at the withered fig tree and wanted to know how Jesus did this to the tree.     

Jesus answers them very succinctly by telling them to believe with Holy Spirit faith.     

Jesus did not come to show off and then leave us in awe.     He came to:
    clean us up
    teach us
    empower us
    to be like Him.     

Jesus is telling us to operate in the supernatural faith of His Holy Spirit.     

Note: The word 'in' is not in the original Greek phrase which the KJV translates as 'Have faith in God'.     It should have read 'Have God faith' or 'Have the faith of God' rather than 'faith in God'.     

Since we know that God is Spirit (making Him the Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus), this phrase should best be rendered as 'Have Holy Spirit faith'.     

Remember, Faith is one of the Spirit Fruit.     

Unfortunately, this is another example of how the 'God being' was given an existence separate from the Word and Holy Spirit as a result of the translators' trinitarian concept of the Creator.     

Jesus goes on in this passage to tell His disciples to just speak (word) and believe ( Holy Spirit faith) and their desires would be met.     There is no indication that some other being is involved in the process.     

Even, the 'when you pray' statement of is misunderstood to reference a 'God being' when Jesus instructed us to pray to our Heavenly Father who is His Holy Spirit.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to the Lord must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Believe that
    Jesus is Mighty God
    Jesus is loving and giving
    Jesus will reveal Himself to those who seek Him
    Jesus Himself is your exceeding great reward

Faith is the power to appropriate what Grace has provided.     It pleases the Lord Jesus for us to receive what He has made available to us.     

So Jesus commanded us to have His kind of faith and then the Holy Spirit by the apostle Paul explained why we must have Christ`s kind of faith.
