CHAPTER FOUR

THE TEN QUALITIES OF KINGDOM FAITH

“Faith is a bird that feels dawn breaking and sings while it is still dark.”

—Scandinavian saying

Like

any other country, the Kingdom of Heaven functions by

certain laws. Central to these is the law of faith. The

Kingdom of God functions by faith, and without faith nothing

functions in the kingdom. We have already seen that faith is the

culture and lifestyle of the kingdom; it is also the currency of

Kingdom economy. Successful Kingdom living is to live by faith not

by sight, to trust totally in God rather than in our own wisdom.

Man was created to live by faith. Genesis 1:26 says that God

created man in His own image and likeness. Image means nature or

character. Man was created to be like God in character and nature.

He was also created in God’s likeness. Likeness does not have to do

with appearance as much as with function. To be created in God’s

likeness means that man was created to function like God. And God

functions by faith because He is a God of faith. So we are supposed

to function by faith as well.

In the beginning Adam and Eve lived by what they believed, not

by what they saw. That changed when they disobeyed God and ate

fruit from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Their eyes were opened to the nature of evil, but their faith capacity

diminished. Faith was no longer natural to them, and every

succeeding generation of humankind has inherited that diminished

capacity. Kingdom faith is not natural for us. Apart from the spirit of

God working in our lives, we cannot attain Kingdom faith, andwithout Kingdom faith, we will never see the Kingdom of God.

Hebrews 11:6 says, “And 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.”

Anytime we try to function in an environment or manner di

from that for which we were created, we end up being

dysfunctional. In some cases it will even kill us. For example, if you

try to function underwater for very long without some sort of

breathing apparatus, you will die. Fish are designed to live in water;

we are not. We were designed to live in an environment of faith,

and outside that environment we cannot function properly.

The absence of faith creates a vacuum that is quickly

read earlier, by fear and doubt. Fear and doubt lead to worry, which

is the antithesis of faith. There is nothing in our bodies that is

designed to handle worry. In fact, scienti

demonstrated that worry activates enzymes that cause our arteries

and veins to constrict, thus restricting blood

headaches, heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular ailments.

So if you ever say, “I’m worrying myself to death,” you are not

exaggerating. God created you to function by faith, which means

that unless you are functioning by faith, you are self-destructing.

Without faith, you kick into worry, fretting, and mental depression,

which eventually sabotages your life. You were designed to live by

faith.

Faith supplants worry. It gives us access to the very things that we

worry about not having: provision for our daily needs and con

hope for the future. This was Jesus’ point when He said,

So do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we

wear?” For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need

them. But seek

as well (Matthew 6:31-33).

In other words, Jesus is saying, “Don’t preoccupy yourself with

the daily needs of life. The King, your heavenly Father, will takecare of those. Instead, preoccupy yourself with the things of the

Kingdom of God. That is what you were designed for.”Living by Faith

Living by faith means living not by what your eyes show you but

by what your mind, heart, and spirit know to be true. It is as you

read earlier, “being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do

not see” (Heb. 11:1). Kingdom faith is a lifestyle of righteousness

based on the nature and character of God. Righteousness means to

be in right standing with God and in full compliance with the

principles and laws of His government. From start to

righteousness is imparted to us through faith: “For in the gospel a

righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from




1:17).

We have to believe that we are in right standing with God. Since

we have no physical “proof,” we must simply take God at His Word.

If He says, “Your sins are forgiven through the blood of Jesus,” we

have to believe Him. And when we do, our hearts are

con

from the work of God’s spirit. The moment we

Jesus Christ as our savior and Lord, God imparts His righteousness

to us, and it becomes an accomplished fact. From then on, through

the rest of this life and into eternity, we live by faith and enjoy

righteousness by faith.

As I mentioned in Chapter One, Kingdom faith means being

willing to live with uncertainties and unknowns—the mysteries of

life. Paul said, “We live by faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7). It is

dangerous to stake our lives on what we see because so often what

we see is not the complete picture. Looks can be deceiving unless we

are viewing our situation from Heaven’s viewpoint. Our physical

eyes can play tricks on us, which is why we need to look at things

through the spiritual eyes of faith. Living by sight binds our life to

the whims of fate and circumstance, which can change with the

wind. That kind of life has no stability. Living by faith on the otherhand anchors your life on the unchanging truth of God, a foundation

that will never be shaken.

Faith as the key to life is a common theme throughout the

scriptures. Genesis 15:6 says, “Abram believed the Lord, and He

credited it to him as righteousness.” The Israelite people, after

experiencing their miraculous deliverance from slavery in Egypt, as

well as God’s provision of food and water in the desert, refused to

obey His command to cross the Jordan River and take the land of

Canaan that He had promised to them. Instead of placing their faith

in God, they chose to believe what they saw: an enemy that seemed

too powerful for them to defeat. As a result of their faithlessness,

God condemned them to wander in the desert for 40 years until that

entire rebellious generation died. Over and over the Old Testament

issues the call to believe, to trust, and to obey the Lord. David

wrote, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the

name of the Lord our God” (Ps. 20:7).

The same emphasis is found in the New Testament. Jesus said,

“Everything is possible for him who believes” (Mark 9:23b). The

importance of living by faith was a constant theme in Paul’s letters

to the churches: “For in the gospel a righteousness from God is

revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from

written: ‘The righteous will live by faith’” (Rom. 1:17). “We live by

faith, not by sight” (2 Cor. 5:7). “Clearly no one is justi

by the law, because, ‘The righteous will live by faith.’ The law is not

based on faith; on the contrary, ‘The man who does these things will live

by them’ ” (Gal. 3:11-12).

The righteous will live by faith. Not by circumstances, or

blessings, or prophecies, or miracles, or healings, or any other thing

—but by faith alone. Don’t let anything or anyone else become the

source of your faith; because if you do, whenever they fail (and they

will), your faith will also fail. So don’t let whatever happens or

doesn’t happen in your life a

righteous Kingdom citizen you are supposed to live by faith. That

means not backing o

hardship comes along. “Shrinking violets” in the faith do not pleasethe Lord: “‘But My righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks

back, I will not be pleased with him.’ But we are not of those who shrink

back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved” (Heb.

10:38-39).

Faith is the distinctive characteristic of the Kingdom of God and

its citizens, and should set us apart from all other people on earth.

God doesn’t want children who shrink back in the face of di

or challenge. He wants children who stand in the middle of the

storm, handle all earthquakes, and come through the

smelling of smoke, saying, “I made it through! Why? Because my

God is an awesome God!” Faith that fails when trouble comes along

is not really faith at all. True faith—Kingdom faith—believes in

spite of trouble. It doesn’t shrink back in the face of crisis or

challenge. It doesn’t surrender to persecution or waver under

pressure. Kingdom faith overcomes in the face of trials and

tribulations. Those whose faith fails are in danger of being

destroyed. Faith is our protection against destruction.

Years ago when I was a student at ORU, Oral Roberts, who was

president of the university at the time, said something in chapel one

day that I have never forgotten. “Remember this, students,” he said,

“always keep your peace. And how do you keep your peace? Expect

the best and prepare for the worst.” Expect the best and prepare for

the worst. The only way to prepare for the worst is through faith

because only faith can take us through the tough times. Of course,

we need a positive attitude, too! We should expect God to do great

things and to bless us, but also be prepared to stand under whatever

storms He allows to come. Faith will sustain us through the storms.

On the night He was betrayed, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon,

Simon, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you,

Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back,

strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:31-32). Within hours Peter would

deny His Lord three times, even after vowing that he would not.

Peter failed that particular test, but his faith survived. His failure

was due to relying too much on his own strength. As far as we know

from scripture, Peter never made that mistake again. He learned toanchor his faith not in his own capabilities, but in God. Jesus prayed

for Peter’s faith, which was the only thing that would see Peter

through to the end.

Living by faith means not trusting in people or programs, but in

God alone. It also means looking beyond sight to spiritual truth that

usually is not visible to physical eyes. When Jesus

His disciples after His resurrection, Thomas was not with them.

When the others told him of it, Thomas insisted he would not

believe unless he saw it with his own eyes. One week later he got

his chance.

A week later His disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors

were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then He said to

Thomas, “Put your

doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have

not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:26-29).

How many of us have been like Thomas and said something like,

“Until I see the miracle, I won’t believe God”? To us, as to Thomas,

Jesus says, “Stop doubting and believe.” Don’t build your faith on

what God shows you; build it on God, period. That’s Kingdom faith.Ten Essential Qualities of Kingdom Faith

By way of review, I want to discuss brie

that characterize Kingdom faith, illustrating them with insights from

Job, the Book of Hebrews, and Simon Peter.

1. Kingdom Faith Is Steadfast and Stable in Storms.

Job could be called the “poster child” for faith under pressure.

When satan accused Job of trusting God for sel

allowed satan to test Job’s faith by stripping away everything he

had. Job lost his family, his wealth, and his health, but he never lost

his faith in God. He wanted to question God as to the reason for his

su

three friends, assuming that Job’s troubles were evidence of God’s

judgment against him, insisted that he confess his sins, Job

maintained his faith, as well as his innocence:

As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made me taste

bitterness of soul, as long as I have life within me, the breath of God in my nostrils, my lips will

not speak wickedness, and my tongue will utter no deceit. I will never admit you [Job’s friends]

are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity. I will maintain my righteousness [his right

standing with God] and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live

(Job 27:2-6).

Job did not understand why he was su

it, but in the midst of the storm he kept on believing and kept on

living the way he had always lived, with truthfulness, integrity,

faithfulness, moral behavior, and a clear conscience. Because his

faith was anchored in the living God, Job endured his period of

testing without wavering. In good times as well as bad, Job trusted

God as Lord of both. In fact, when challenged about his faith in the

wake of losing everything, Job had countered, “Shall we accept good

from God, and not trouble?” (Job 2:10a)Like the house built on the rock that withstands the wind and the

rain (see Matt. 7:24-25), Kingdom faith proves its foundation on the

unshakeable God by remaining steadfast and stable through all the

storms of life.

2. Kingdom Faith Is in God’s Omniscient Knowledge, not Our

Limited Knowledge.

The very existence of what we call “mysteries of life” proves that

our knowledge is limited. Yet so often we talk and act as though we

know everything. No matter what the circumstance, we tend to

regard whatever we see with our eyes or perceive with our minds to

be the full truth of the matter. Kingdom faith accepts with humility

the reality of our limited knowledge and con

in God’s hands. This is something Job needed to be reminded of, for

like most of us he got caught up in his pain and thought he knew

more about the situation than God did. The Lord quickly set him

straight:

Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that darkens my counsel with

words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer

me. Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who

marked o

were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone—while the morning stars sang together and all

the angels shouted for joy?” (Job 38:1-7)

The Lord said to Job: “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? Let him who

accuses God answer Him!” (Job 40:1-2)

Who among us could answer such questions? Job couldn’t and

neither can we. That’s the whole point. God knows in

than any of us will ever know. And He is under no obligation to

explain either Himself or His actions to any of us. After all, who is

accountable to whom? We are accountable to God, not vice versa.

With Kingdom faith we accept our limited knowledge and are

content to live with life’s mysteries, trusting the unknown to God’s

omniscient knowledge, all-pervasive power, and perfect plan.3. Kingdom Faith Is Beyond Our Own Understanding.

Because of our limited knowledge, there are some things that are,

and always will be, beyond our understanding. Our human pride

resists accepting this fact, which sometimes causes us to say and do

some very stupid things. Some people believe that man is the

measure of all things and that nothing, therefore, is ultimately

beyond his understanding or capability. Our intellectual, scienti

and technological advances outstrip our moral conscience, leading

us often to do something because we can, without su

dealing with the question of whether or not we should. Embryonic

stem cell research and human cloning research are just two

examples. We could all bene

inspired humility when confronted with the awesomeness of God

and His in

Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that You can do all things; no plan of Yours can be

thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke

of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. You said, ‘Listen now, and I

will speak; I will question you, and you shall answer me.’ My ears had heard of You but now my

eyes have seen You. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes” (Job 42:1-6).

When Job saw the Lord with his own eyes, he immediately saw

himself as he really was, and he responded to this revelation with

abject humility. The prophet Isaiah had a similar experience:

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the

train of His robe

they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were

they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of

His glory.” At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was




“Woe to me!” I cried.

“I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people

of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty” (Isaiah 6:1-5).

Humility is the only appropriate response to a revelation of God

in all His majesty. Kingdom faith acknowledges this and is willing tolive with the fact that there are some things we will never

understand. But God understands, and that is enough.

4. Kingdom Faith Is Rewarded After the Tests.

Job stood

righteousness not only in the face of his su

face of the accusations from his three friends. Eliphaz, Bildad, and

Zophar attributed Job’s troubles to God’s disfavor toward him.

Because they misunderstood God, they also misrepresented Him. In

the end, God vindicated Job and called his three friends to account:

After the Lord had said these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “I am angry with

you and your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job

has. So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to My servant Job and sacri

o

deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant

Job has.” So Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite did what the

Lord told them; and the Lord accepted Job’s prayer (Job 42:7-9).

Not only was Job right and his self-righteous friends wrong, God

accepted Job’s prayer on their behalf to forgive them for

misrepresenting Him and to accept their sacri

if this were not enough, God vindicated Job even further:

After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord made him prosperous again and gave him twice as

much as he had before. All his brothers and sisters and everyone who had known him before

came and ate with him in his house. They comforted and consoled him over all the trouble the

Lord had brought upon him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring (Job 42:10-

11).

Because Job’s faith stood

God’s reward at the end. He had lost everything he had, but God

restored to him twice as much. In other words, Job was blessed

before the test, but doubly blessed after the test. Kingdom faith

always brings rewards, some in this life, but even more in the life to

come.5. Kingdom Faith Is Rewarded by the King.

Notice also that Job’s reward came directly from God. In any

Kingdom one of the functions of the king is to bestow good things

on his people, especially rewards for faithful service. In Job’s case,

his rewards show not only the bene

God, but also that when God blesses faithfulness, He never uses half-

measures.

The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the

six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. And he also had seven

sons and three daughters…. Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as

Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.

After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the

fourth generation. And so he died, old and full of years (Job 42:12-13;15-17).

Here’s another reason to remain faithful through the storm: if you

give up and drop out in the midst of the test, you will miss out on

the great rewards that follow. Consider Job’s wife. In the beginning

of Job’s ordeal, right after he lost everything, his wife told him to

“curse God and die” (Job 2:9b). Job rebuked her with the words,

“You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God

and not trouble?” (Job 2:10a). After this, nothing more is heard of

Job’s wife. We can only assume that something happened to her. It

is quite possible that she left Job. If so, then she missed out on the

abundance of blessing that came to him at the end. Not only did Job

receive twice as much as he had in the beginning, he also had seven

children to replace the ones who died. This implies that Job also got

another wife, one whose faith was more in line with his than that of

his

that loss of faith forfeits latter rewards. The King rewards

generously, but He does not reward the faithless.

6. Kingdom Faith Is Given and Sustained by the King.

Many people assume that faith comes from the mind of man and

is something we o

wrote, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this

not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one

can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do

good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Eph. 2:8-

10).

Faith is the gift of God. Because of our sinful nature that rebels

against God, we cannot generate true faith completely on our own.

Jesus said, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me

draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day” (John 6:44).

Because faith is a gift of God, He draws us to Christ before we ever

choose to come to Christ.

Not only does faith originate with God, but He also sustains it and

brings it to completion, which is something else we could never do

by ourselves. That is why the writer of Hebrews says, “Let us

eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set

before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the

right hand of the throne of God” (Heb. 12:2).

The King gives faith to whomever He chooses, and without His

gift no one ever comes to faith. Through God’s gift of faith, we draw

near to Christ and trust Him for the forgiveness of our sins and for

new life in Him. Then through His Holy spirit, He sustains and

completes faith in us so that we endure every challenge and pass

every test. From start to

7. Kingdom Faith Is Stronger than Blood.

When we become believers and followers of Christ, we are born

into a new family, the family of God, with which our faith forms a

bond stronger even than the blood ties of our earthly family. Jesus

made this point repeatedly as a primary aspect of discipleship:

If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his

brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple (Luke 14:26).Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his

son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me (Matthew 10:37).

While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, His mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to

speak to Him. Someone told Him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to

speak to You.”

He replied to him, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?” Pointing to His disciples, He

said, “Here are My mother and My brothers. For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is

My brother and sister and mother” (Matthew 12:46-50).

“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or

father or children or

this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and

persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life (Mark 10:29-30).

Kingdom faith is not only stronger than blood ties of family, it is

also stronger than the fear of having one’s own blood shed:

“Consider Him (Christ) who endured such opposition from sinful men, so

that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin,

you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood” (Heb.

12:3-4). History is replete with examples of believers who were

faithful under every sort of trial and persecution, even unto death.

What about you? How far has your faith been tested?

8. Kingdom Faith Is Puri

Faith cannot grow without being tested. Until it is proven in the

crucible of life, faith is of little value. Kingdom faith is more than

just words; it reveals itself in good works and proves itself in the

endurance of trials. Your faith is only as strong as the tests it survives.

Anyone whose faith consists of words only and is not backed up by

lifestyle, has no faith at all. That is the sobering assessment of

James, the brother of Jesus, who wrote,

What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save

him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him,“Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what

good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I

will show you my faith by what I do…. As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without

deeds is dead (James 2:14-18,26).

People possessing Kingdom faith welcome tests because they have

come to understand that tests purify their faith and help them grow

to maturity. Peter was one of several New Testament writers who

emphasized this truth:

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new

birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an

inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are

shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last

time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to su

all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes

even though re

when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though

you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are

for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls (1 Peter 1:3-9).

The next time you face a test, remember that its purpose is to

purify your faith and make you strong.

9. Kingdom Faith Does Not Fear Trials.

Much of our modern-day faith teaching would not stand up to the

accounts in Scripture of the trials of the faith. Most of the faith of

today’s 21st-century believer is only good for receiving and

expecting blessings and designed only to survive good times.

Perhaps this is why many are quick to blame the devil for any form

of discomfort and try to avoid the part of resistance.

However, because true Kingdom citizens recognize the purpose and

value of tests for the maturing of their faith, they do not fear the

tests. They have learned to experience the precious presence of theLord with them during their trials, which gives them an entirely

di

perspective. Peter encouraged the readers of his

these words:

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are su

strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the su

you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of

Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you su

be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you

su

16).

Peter says that painful trials are common for believers. It is part of

life for Kingdom citizens residing in a sinful, fallen world.

Furthermore, Peter tells us to rejoice that we participate in the

su

su

How can we rejoice in su

perspective. Only the heavenly perspective, seen through the eyes of

faith, makes it possible.

10. Kingdom Faith Commits the Future to God.

Everyone is interested in the future. Who wouldn’t like to know

what’s going to happen tomorrow or next week or next year so we

could prepare for it—good or bad? Millions of dollars are spent

every year on psychics and fortunetellers. Many people read their

daily horoscope as faithfully as they do the business or sports news.

From a biblical perspective, the only legitimate “foretellers” were

the ancient prophets of Israel, and even they were never shown

everything. God alone knows the future in its fullness, and He

guards it closely, revealing a bit here or a bit there on a “need-to-

know” basis to particular people He chooses at particular times and

for particular situations.

Kingdom faith people don’t get caught up in the common frenzy

to

holds because they know who holds the future. They understand

that the su

glories of the life to come in the Kingdom of God. So they endure

with patience. I think this is what Peter had in mind when he wrote,

“So then, those who su

themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good” (1 Pet.

4:19).

Kingdom faith people may not know the future, but they know

their future is secure. By faith they have committed their future to

God, the King, as citizens of His Kingdom, a Kingdom of in

power, beauty, glory, and goodness that will stand forever.
