FAITH IS A LAW
Romans 3:27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. (NIV)
Faith is a requirement of the law of the Spirit. Faith is an attribute of the Holy Spirit, and as such an attribute of the recreated human spirit. Faith is a law.
Romans 8:2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
The law of Moses brought judgment and condemnation unto death, but the law of the Spirit brings life. Having been born again you have this law at work in you. You are under this law of faith; your legal function is by faith. Everything you do with faith is legal, and anything you do without faith is illegal. What then is faith?
Faith is living in the reality the Word shows you; when the Word show you a reality live in it. This is the life of the righteous we are called into; we live by faith.
Romans 1:17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed —a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
Not living by faith, that is, not living in the reality the Word shows you is not only a disobedient but also living contrary to your truth. Your truth is that you are a new creation with the life and nature of God; you should walk in health and prosperity, you should walk in love and kindness. If you are not living like this then you are living against your truth ( your reality).
Faith is a law. We are those who live by faith and not by sight. Living by faith is living from your spirit. Living by sight is living from your outside and the circumstances that surrounds. And it is unlawful for a Christian to live like this.
2 Corinthians 5:7 For we live by faith, not by sight.
CONFESSION
My life is a life of faith because the law of the Spirit of life is at work in me. I operate by faith; carry out my dealings and endeavours by faith. Through faith in the Name of Jesus I heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out devils. I walk by faith in the Word producing the results and blessings of the Word, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
