CHAPTER SIX

THE COURAGE OF KINGDOM FAITH

“Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.”

—Elton Trueblood

Kingdom

faith is courageous faith—faith that does not give

up because it knows that current circumstances do

not represent the full or

calls His people to faith, often coupling it with a call to courage.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is con

in the face of fear. Courage is belief in life beyond the obstacle of fear.

In the days immediately following the death of Moses, God

instructed Joshua, Moses’ designated successor, to prepare the

people of Israel to cross the Jordan River and conquer the land of

Canaan, the “Promised Land” that God had promised to Abraham

and his descendants. Moses had led the people for 40 years with

great skill and numerous demonstrations of God’s power; those

would be tough shoes to

Canaanite people the Israelites would face were powerful in war and

well-established in the land. Joshua faced the doubly tough

challenge of not only winning the trust and respect of the Israelites

as Moses’ successor, but also inspiring them to cross the Jordan and

take the land, something that the previous generation had refused to

do.

Fortunately Joshua was not alone in the task. God knew that

Joshua could not do the job by himself. Joshua was shouldering

responsibilities and facing challenges that could make any

reasonable person back away. And God also knew that the people asa whole were easily discouraged and prone to balk in the face of

danger. As leader of the people, Joshua needed courage, and the

people needed to be able to draw courage from the example of their

leader. So before initiating the campaign to conquer the land of

Canaan, God appeared to Joshua just as He had to Moses:

After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’

aide: “Moses My servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the

Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites. I will give you every

place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to

Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Great Sea on the

west. No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses,

so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.

“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to

their forefathers to give them. Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law

My servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be

successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on

it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be

prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be

terri

(Joshua 1:1-9, emphasis added).

Three times in these verses God tells Joshua to “be strong and

courageous.” And although the word faith does not appear anywhere

in the passage, it is strongly implied throughout. God gives Joshua

his assignment, assures Joshua of His presence, and promises victory

in the coming campaign. Then He tells Joshua to be strong and

courageous. Strong and courageous in what? In believing God and

in carrying out His instructions. It always takes courage to do what

God says. Faith and courage go together.

Courage is important in faith because, as we have seen

throughout this book, Kingdom faith is a life

and hardships, and we need courage to face these storms.

Sometimes God performs great and miraculous works to encourage

our faith, but we must be careful not to misplace our faith. The goalof God’s works is that we place our faith in Him, not in His works.

In the Gospel of John, the apostle sets forth seven speci

or signs, that Jesus performed to reveal to His disciples who He was

and to build their faith.

In the

wedding feast in the village of Cana. Afterward, John explained the

purpose of this miracle: “This, the

performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed His glory, and His

disciples put their faith in Him” (John 2:11). Jesus’ disciples put

their faith in Him, not in His miracle of turning water into wine,

because as far as we know, Jesus never did that again. It was a one-

time miracle.

God’s underlying goal behind His works, miracles, and blessings is

that we place our faith in Him, not in the works themselves. In other

words, God sometimes does amazing things in our lives so that we

will learn to trust Him. Instead, what we do so often is trust in what

He did. Then when the luster of that sign or blessing fades, we run

o

Me. Stop running around seeking miracles, signs, and blessings, and

trust Me” God rarely does the same thing the same way twice, or the

same way for two di

Joshua was Moses’ designated successor, God never did anything for

Joshua in the same way He had for Moses. Yet our tendency is to

expect God to do the same thing tomorrow that He did today, or to

work in someone else’s life the same way He did in ours. Anytime

we try to put God into that kind of box we’re going to be

disappointed.

So don’t put your faith in what God did for me or for someone

else. Put your faith in God; then relax and let Him deal with and do

for you in His own unique way.Courage to Face the Trials

Kingdom citizens have always faced trials of various kinds; it is in

our spiritual genes. Remember Jesus’ words: “In this world you will

have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33);

and Paul’s straightforward declaration: “Everyone who wants to live a

godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Tim. 3:12). Paul

certainly should know, since he experienced persecution from both

sides,

follower of Christ, as a faithful messenger of the Gospel of Christ. In

fact, Paul was an active participant in the persecution of the

recorded person to die because of faith in Christ: a man named

Stephen.

Stephen’s story is found in the sixth and seventh chapters of the

Book of Acts. He

Jerusalem selected to oversee the daily distribution of food to the

needy in the church. Described as a man “full of faith and of the Holy

Spirit” (Acts 6:5), Stephen was also a powerful public witness for

Christ, which quickly got him into trouble:

Now Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs

among the people. Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen

(as it was called)—Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and Asia.

These men began to argue with Stephen, but they could not stand up against his wisdom or the

Spirit by whom he spoke.

Then they secretly persuaded some men to say, “We have heard Stephen speak words of

blasphemy against Moses and against God.”

So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and

brought him before the Sanhedrin. They produced false witnesses, who testi

never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law. For we have heard him say that

this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us.”All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was

like the face of an angel (Acts 6:8-15).

Hauled before the Jewish supreme religious court and falsely

accused of blasphemy (a capital o

to give a lengthy defense of Christ and the Gospel of the Kingdom

that is so brilliant it leaves his accusers speechless with rage:

When they heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him.

But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus

standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man

standing at the right hand of God.”

At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him,

dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at

the feet of a young man named Saul [Paul].

While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his

knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell

asleep (Acts 7:54-60).

Stephen was chosen as a servant/leader in the church because he

was a man “full of faith.” You have to be full of faith to be chosen in

the Body of Christ. The Kingdom of Heaven and its agency the Church

can’t a

comes. Faith, not talent, will get you through the trials. Faith, not

gifting, will help you stand when everything else is collapsing.

Notice, however, that Stephen’s faith did not prevent his stoning.

He stood




Christ. When you face trials or hardship, someone may ask you,

“Well, if you have faith, why did this happen to you?” Just ask

Stephen. “If you are following God, how can He allow them to stone

you?” That’s God’s prerogative. Why? Because He is the King and

always acts for His glory. In the end, Stephen, graced with a vision

of the glory of God and the living Christ standing at God’s righthand, died with a smile on his face and a prayer of forgiveness on

his lips.

Could you die with a smile as rocks were hitting you, and do so

forgiving those who were killing you? Stephen did. His faith was

stronger than rocks, and it was from his death that the Church

multiplied. God used Stephen’s death to give everyone else a

purpose for living, including Paul, who witnessed the whole thing. If

Stephen could die for his faith, can we not live for ours?The Full Story

Preachers, Bible teachers, and other church leaders who talk only

about the blessings, prosperity, and other good things that are part

of Kingdom life are not telling the full story. Kingdom life is all of

these and more, but it also is a life of challenge, trial, and hardship.

It has been so from the beginning and will be so until Christ returns.

How could it be otherwise when we stand as representatives of

God’s Kingdom in a world that is in rebellion against that Kingdom?

The very fact that we are Kingdom citizens will bring us up against

opposition and resistance.

Even in the earliest days of the Church, Paul and the other

apostles of Christ found it necessary to continually encourage

believers to stand true in the faith because temptations to abandon

the faith were all around them. In the city of Lystra, Paul was stoned

by angry Jews and left for dead for preaching Christ, but that did

not stop him:

Then some Jews came from Antioch and I conium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul

and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. But after the disciples had gathered

around him, he got up and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for Derbe.

They preached the good news in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they

returned to Lystra, I conium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to

remain true to the faith. “We must go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God,”

they said. Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer and

fasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust (Acts 14:19-23).

Notice that after he was stoned Paul not only went back into the

same city, but also visited Lystra again when he and his companion,

Barnabas, made their return trip to Antioch where they had begun,

strengthening and encouraging believers in towns along the way.

And how did they encourage these believers? By telling them, “We

must go through many hardships to enter the Kingdom of God.”

Paul and Barnabas accepted trials, hardship, and di

di

Kingdom faith does not avoid challenges but accepts them as a

vital and necessary part of faith life. Paul certainly understood this

as well as anyone and better than most. An event in his life makes it

abundantly clear that God often allows us to go through hardship

for our good and His glory. Under arrest and on his way to Rome to

appeal his case before Caesar, Paul was on board a ship that was

caught in a bad storm on the Adriatic sea. The storm was so

that eventually everyone, including the experienced sailors,

despaired of hope. But then Paul received a word from the Lord:

After the men had gone a long time without food, Paul stood up before them and said: “Men, you

should have taken my advice not to sail from Crete; then you would have spared yourselves this

damage and loss. But now I urge you to keep up your courage, because not one of you will be

lost; only the ship will be destroyed. Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve

stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God

has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’ So keep up your courage, men, for I

have faith in God that it will happen just as He told me. Nevertheless, we must run aground on

some island” (Acts 27:21-26).

God made it clear to Paul that it was His will for Paul to stand

before Caesar where in the course of his defense, Paul would bear

powerful witness to Christ. What is also clear is that it was God’s

purpose for Paul to endure the storm at sea and a shipwreck before

he reached Rome. God could have made Paul’s trip smooth sailing

all the way, but He had a greater purpose in mind—that Paul’s

traveling companions as well as the soldiers and sailors on the ship

should witness God’s saving power in action and thus bring Him

glory.

People of Kingdom faith do not avoid challenges because they

know that challenges are a natural part of Kingdom life. Blessings,

signs, and miracles, as wonderful as they are, make up only part of

the picture.Faith outlasts Everything

It is for this reason that Kingdom citizens are known for the

testing of their faith rather than for their blessings. Blessings are

temporary; signs and wonders are temporary; but faith lasts forever.

The saints listed in Hebrews chapter 11, the “roll call of the faithful,

”

were commended for their faith, not for their wealth or their

education or their gifts or their talents. In fact, Hebrews 11:6 plainly

states: “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who

comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who

earnestly seek Him.” Jesus asked, “When the Son of Man comes, will

He

but faith. Paul said, “We walk by faith and not by sight” (see 2 Cor.

5:7). In other words, we live according to our trust in God, not

according to the things He does for us or for others—things we can

see. Time after time in his letters Paul commended the faith of his

readers:

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all

over the world (Romans 1:8).

We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, because we

have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all the saints—the faith and

love that spring from the hope that is stored up for you in heaven and that you have already

heard about in the word of truth, the gospel that has come to you. All over the world this gospel is

bearing fruit and growing, just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and

understood God’s grace in all its truth (Colossians 1:3-6).

We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember

before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your

endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 1:2-3).

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing

more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. Therefore, amongGod’s churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you

are enduring (2 Thessalonians 1:3-4).

Why is faith so important? Because faith is the key to

righteousness, which is the only way to see God or enter His

Kingdom. As Paul reminded the Roman believers,

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who

believes:

revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from

live by faith” (Romans 1:16-17).

Kingdom life is a life lived from beginning to end by faith. Faith

permeates the mindset, speech, and behavior of Kingdom citizens. It

shapes our view of the world and guides our decisions. Kingdom

faith is resilient; it outlasts every weapon that comes against it.

Even when hope is gone, Kingdom faith remains. God promised

Abraham a son in his old age, and Abraham believed God even after

many years went by without ful

continued to believe even after he and his wife Sarah were far

beyond child-bearing age. When human hope faded, only faith

remained, but that was enough. In the words of Paul,

It was not through law that Abraham and his o

of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith….

Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may be by grace and may be guaranteed to all

Abraham’s o

of Abraham. He is the father of us all….

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it

had been said to him, “So shall your o

fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that

Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of

God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had

power to do what He had promised. This is why “it was credited to him as righteousness”

(Romans 4:13,16,18-22).When Abraham had no hope of a son and heir by natural means,

he still had his faith, and by faith he received that which he would

have gotten no other way. So if your situation appears hopeless,

believe God. If you can’t see any way forward out of the crisis you

are in, trust in the Lord. Faith will see you through when your trust

is in the One who cannot fail and who is always true to His

promises.

Kingdom faith even outlasts death itself. Throughout the ages

death had always been humanity’s greatest enemy, an implacable

foe that always won in the end. Then Christ came and changed

everything. Through His resurrection from the dead, Christ broke

the power of death and defeated it forever in the lives of all who

trust in Him. Contemplation of this incredible truth moved Paul to

write to the Corinthians:

For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality,

then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the

victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:53-57).

No matter what tests we face in life, even the test of death itself,

Kingdom faith will sustain us and give us the victory. When we have

faith, nothing can defeat us or separate us from our King and the

glorious riches of His Kingdom. Again, in Paul’s words,

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine

or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we

are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am

convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the

future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to

separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:35-39).Kingdom faith gives us courage because it assures us that we will

outlast whatever comes against us.Faith Makes All Things Possible

In the Kingdom of God nothing is impossible because God has no

limitations. He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and ever-present, and

everything everywhere belongs to Him. It is this conviction of the

limitlessness of God that fuels Kingdom faith with the courage to

persevere in the belief that with faith all things are possible. Jesus

was explicit on this point. One day Jesus encountered a father

whose demon-possessed son Jesus’ disciples had been unable to

help, and he used the occasion to teach a lesson on the power of

faith:

A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that

has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the

mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they

could not.”

“O unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put

up with you? Bring the boy to me.”

So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion.

He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”

“From childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into

you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”

“‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes.”

Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil spirit. “You deaf and

mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse

that many said, “He’s dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he

stood up (mark 9:17-27).

How could Jesus be any plainer than when He said, “Everything is

possible for him who believes”? This grieving father had faith, but

he also was honest about his struggle with faith. He had su

many years over his son’s condition, and probably had sought

healing through prayer and other means more than once. He saw a

glimmer of hope in the news that Jesus’ disciples had the same

healing power as their master, only to have his hopes dashed when

they failed to cure his son. Now his faith was shaken, perhaps

because he had placed it in what Jesus and the disciples could do,

rather than in who Jesus was. When he met Jesus, however, this

father humbly and honestly admitted his faith struggle, refocused

his faith on Jesus Himself, and witnessed the impossible—his son

was healed.

Kingdom faith wins because it looks beyond what is humanly

possible—the limits of human understanding, achievement, and

capability—and embraces the impossible, entrusting itself to the

One in whom all things are possible. Because of its in

Kingdom faith is the source of exploits and vision that would be

inconceivable on a purely human or physical plane. When Jesus’

disciples asked Him why they had been unable to heal the demon-

possessed boy, Jesus once again pointed to faith:

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a

mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing

will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:19-21).

If mustard seed-sized faith can move a mountain, just imagine

what larger faith could accomplish! some of the greatest

movements, ministries, and advancements in the Kingdom of God

on earth began with the seed of an idea that was nurtured in thefertile soil of faith until it blossomed into full reality. Kingdom faith

is not limited by what human vision, wisdom, or reason says is

possible. Kingdom faith is limited only by the limitations of God—

and He has none.

God never gives a vision or plants a dream without also making

provision for its ful

or a dream in your heart, don’t deny it. Don’t write it o

impossible no matter how remote or unlikely its ful

appear under your current circumstances. Entrust your vision to the

Lord. Spend your Kingdom currency—your seed faith—and trust

your King to bring to pass the vision or dream He planted in you. It

may take awhile—years, perhaps—but it will come about in God’s

perfect time. Remember, Abraham waited 25 years for Isaac. All the

saints cited in Hebrews chapter 11 died without seeing the complete

ful

misplaced. It simply means that they placed their faith in One

whose plans and purposes transcend both space and time.The crucial choice

The message of the Kingdom of God confronts everyone who

hears it with a crucial choice: believe and live, or disbelieve and die;

believe and enter into a life full of richness and meaning, or

disbelieve and descend into an existence without meaning or

purpose; believe and overcome, or disbelieve and face defeat.

Judas Iscariot faced this choice. Even after betraying Jesus to His

enemies, Judas could have repented. He could have renounced his

betrayal, sought forgiveness, and renewed his faith in his Lord.

Instead, he persisted in his unbelief, and despair over his lost faith

drove him to suicide:

When Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse

and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. “I have sinned,” he said,

“for I have betrayed innocent blood.”

“What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”

So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself

(Matthew 27:3-5).

Judas’ conscience led him to sorrow over betraying an innocent

man who had called him friend but did not bring him to the place of

embracing Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords. Judas’ faith

was misplaced. He trusted in his own vision of who Jesus should be

and what He should do, and when that vision was not ful

faith never recovered. Judas’ belief in Jesus never rose to the level

of Kingdom faith. The tragedy of Judas’ life shows us that when

faith is lost, life has no meaning.

Simon Peter faced the same choice as Judas but with a di

outcome. Having publicly denied Christ three times, Peter could

easily have stayed in the downward spiral of denial and ended up

dead like Judas. But he didn’t. Peter’s faith in Christ never wavered,but his courage did, and he failed the test not because he did not

believe, but because he placed too much con

strength. Humbled by his failure (and wiser), Peter jumped at the

chance to renew his relationship with his Master. There on the shore

of the sea of Galilee, the risen Christ gave Peter three opportunities

to rea

time Peter passed the test, demonstrating that his faith was Kingdom

faith: faith that lasts, faith that perseveres, faith that instills life with

meaning and purpose. For the rest of his life Peter preached boldly,

endured much hardship, and faced down opposition of all kinds

with courage only Kingdom faith can bestow.

Like Judas and Peter, we each face the crucial choice in life: belief

or disbelief. The key to overcoming in the tests and trials of life is to

live by faith, which is the active, outward expression of our love for

God. We demonstrate our love for God by obeying Him, and

obedience is faith in action. Faith fueled by our love for God

with hope, the con

Kingdom of God. In the end, these three—faith, hope, and love—

will remain when everything else has passed away:

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they

will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy

in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears…. And now these three remain:

faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:8-10,13).

This threefold combination of faith, hope, and love issues forth

courage in our lives that guarantees our victory over the world:

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father

loves His child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and

carrying out His commands. This is love for God: to obey His commands. And His commands are

not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has

overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes

that Jesus is the Son of God (1 John 5:1-5).

Why keep faith? Because it is the di

failure, victory and defeat, peace and chaos, con

Why keep faith? Because it is the currency of the Kingdom of God,

and nothing transacts in the Kingdom without it.

Why keep faith? Because faith guarantees there is life after the trial!
