The Supernatural Power of Faith

The faith that moves mountains

There are two kinds of faith: the natural and the supernatural. The natural faith comes from the birthplace and works inside of us, as the five natural feelings. The supernatural faith is different from that one. While the natural faith has its developments in a physical world, the supernatural faith only develops itself in a world totally spiritual through the knowledge of the Word of God. The supernatural faith is the only channel of communication between the physical world and spiritual world; between the human being and God.

In the Holy Scriptures we find out many examples of manifestation of supernatural faith, including your own definition that, according with the writer of Hebrews, it’s “is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

The supernatural faith never will be explained through the logical or the reason, because it’s a gift of God. And the rules established by the physical laws are frontally against the rules that rule the laws of the faith; in other word, the supernatural faith is the more absolute assurance that God is real, that His Word is truly and that everything that He promised shall be fulfilled, even that seems to be late.

All the attitudes of the Lord Jesus, during His ministry here on earth, were the biggest expression of the supernatural faith. All His miracles, attitudes and teaching express of a way greatly the reality of faith.

It only born, grows and develops itself in the lives of those who have ears to hear the Word of God; this is the method that the Lord chose to reveal His will. Because of that, it’s very important that the people spend part of their times listening or meditating in the Word.

The apostle Paul, writing to the Church of Corinthians, says: “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” (I Corinthians 2, 4-5)

 When Peter said to the Lord Jesus that the fig-tree that he had cursed will dry up totally, so Christ answered them: “Have faith in God; For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass. (Mark 11.22-23)

This is the faith that the Lord exhorts us to have is the supernatural faith; the assurance of justification before God; the assurance of things that we don’t hope and the evidence of things not seen; the faith doesn’t works only to remove one mountain, but all the mountains of difficulties that come into the life of the faithful person. This is the quality of faith and the one that moved people as Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Elijah and many others. This is the kind of faith that the Lord Jesus exhorts us to have.
