Do You Want To Know How The Spiritual Kingdom Operates?? Read This! by h777(op): 9:30am On May 26
Faith in the kingdom of GOD ALMIGHTIEST is not mental optimism, emotional excitement, or blind wishing. Faith is spiritual response to the revealed WORD of GOD. It works because GOD ALMIGHTIEST designed His kingdom to operate by His WORD, and faith is the hand that receives, responds to, and manifests what HE has spoken.

The scripture says in Romans 10:17 that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the WORD of CHRIST. That means faith is born when the WORD enters the heart with revelation. Real faith is not manufactured by human effort. It is produced when a man sees what GOD ALMIGHTIEST has said and becomes persuaded of it.

Faith works by spiritual conviction. Before anything manifests outwardly, faith settles it inwardly. Faith sees beyond physical conditions and agrees with GOD ALMIGHTIEST above circumstances. That is why Abraham was called the father of faith. The scripture says he considered not his own body now dead, neither the deadness of Sarah's womb, but was strong in faith, giving glory to GOD ALMIGHTIEST. Faith does not deny facts, but it refuses to allow facts to become superior to the WORD of THE LORD.

Faith also works through speaking. The kingdom responds to words. JESUS said if anyone shall say unto this mountain, be removed, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he says. Faith is released through words. Silence in the face of revelation often keeps power dormant. When faith speaks in agreement with GOD ALMIGHTIEST, spiritual authority is activated.

Faith works through action. Genuine faith always produces corresponding action. Noah built an ark before rain appeared. Peter stepped out of the boat before walking on water. The woman with the issue of blood pressed through the crowd because she believed she would be healed. Faith is not passive agreement. It moves in alignment with what GOD ALMIGHTIEST has spoken. Actions do not create faith, but actions reveal faith.

Faith works by relationship with GOD ALMIGHTIEST. The kingdom is relational, not mechanical. Faith is confidence in the character, integrity, and nature of THE LORD. A man who does not know GOD deeply will struggle to trust HIM fully. That is why intimacy with THE LORD strengthens faith. When you know HIS goodness, HIS faithfulness, and HIS nature, trusting HIM becomes natural.

Faith works by love. The scripture says faith works by love. Hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, and malice corrupt spiritual sensitivity. Love keeps the heart aligned with the nature of CHRIST and keeps faith effective. A heart filled with strife struggles to walk in kingdom power consistently.

Faith works with patience. Many people abandon faith because they expect instant manifestation for everything. But the kingdom has seasons, processes, and divine timings. Hebrews says through faith and patience we inherit the promises. Faith keeps standing even when results are not immediate because it trusts the integrity of GOD ALMIGHTIEST more than visible evidence.

Faith is also how believers live daily. The kingdom life from beginning to end is a faith life. Salvation is by faith. Righteousness is by faith. Walking with GOD ALMIGHTIEST is by faith. Victory over the world is by faith. The just shall live by faith. Faith is not a temporary tool for emergencies. It is the operating system of the believer's life.

In the kingdom of GOD ALMIGHTIEST, faith is not trying to convince GOD to move. Faith is responding to what HE has already revealed through CHRIST. It is alignment with heaven's reality. Faith takes GOD at HIS WORD, acts upon it, speaks in agreement with it, and remains steadfast until manifestation appears.

I love this post on faith. It is spot-on. Only I would adopt the term 'Almighty' rather than 'Almightiest' because the latter suggests that God has equals...as in there are other Almighty beings like God but He surpasses them. Other than that this is a post worth reading for all believers in Christ.

I understand your point, but the use of “ALMIGHTIEST” is intentional emphasis on the absolute supremacy of GOD ALMIGHTIEST, not a suggestion that HE has equals. Even the scripture uses comparative expressions to magnify HIS uniqueness above all so called gods and powers.

The scripture says in Psalm 86:8, “Among the gods there is none like You, O LORD.” That does not mean those gods are equal to HIM. It means every authority, throne, power, or spiritual entity is inferior to HIM.

Psalm 95:3 says, “For THE LORD is the great GOD, and the great King above all gods.”

Deuteronomy 10:17 says, “For THE LORD your GOD is GOD of gods, and LORD of lords, a great GOD, mighty and awesome.”

The scripture also says in Isaiah 46:9, “I am GOD, and there is none else, I am GOD, and there is none like ME.”

So the emphasis is supremacy, unmatched dominion, and absolute sovereignty. No being compares with HIM in glory, authority, power, holiness, or eternality. Every throne bows to JESUS CHRIST.

At the same time, I respect your preference for “Almighty,” because that is the more commonly used biblical rendering in English translations. But the intention behind “ALMIGHTIEST” is to exalt THE LORD as the highest and supreme above all.

I dig your explanation. Because of that, I will show deference to the intention behind the term rather than put up an argument. It still makes a mental jarring note (personally) when reading or thinking about it, but the message of faith is more important, and clearly well-written.

That is a very fair and mature response, and I genuinely respect it. Language carries weight, rhythm, and mental association, so I understand why the term creates that reaction for you. Communication is not only about intention, but also reception, clarity, and how words land in the mind of the reader. So your observation is understandable.

At the same time, I appreciate that you looked beyond the wording and discerned the heart behind it. The central aim was never to introduce a theological hierarchy of “multiple almighties,” but to emphasize the absolute supremacy, uniqueness, and incomparability of GOD ALMIGHTIEST. In truth, the scripture consistently pushes language to its limits when attempting to describe HIS greatness.

The scripture says HE is “King of kings,” “LORD of lords,” the “Most High,” and the One “who alone has immortality.” Those expressions are not acknowledging rivals as equals, but declaring HIS unrivaled dominion over every throne, power, ruler, and authority, visible and invisible.

Even Paul, after explaining the wisdom and sovereignty of GOD, burst into doxology saying, “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of GOD.” At some point human language struggles to fully carry divine reality. We reach for words trying to magnify the infinite.

I also appreciate your focus on the substance of the message itself. Faith is indeed too important to lose over semantics. The kingdom of GOD ALMIGHTIEST advances when believers can discuss, sharpen, and challenge ideas with grace, while still recognizing shared devotion to CHRIST.

Iron sharpens iron, but maturity keeps iron from becoming unnecessary friction.

Thank you sincerely for engaging thoughtfully rather than reactively. That spirit is rare today.

You are most welcome. Just as a connoisseur of vocabulary savours a poem, its style, rhythm, diction, imagery, and all its parts that help to convey its depth and meaning I could not help but appreciate your eloquent use of language to drive your point. Your firm grasp and command of the English language is not only admirable, but also makes for a pleasurable consumption.

I have visited one or two other threads of yours and find that your topics portray a consistent measure of insight above the average. I am glad that such skill is channelled into propagating the Word of God. Looking forward to future interaction with you and the body of Christ by God's grace.

Your words truly carry grace, depth, and discernment, and I deeply appreciate them. What blesses me even more is not merely the compliment itself, but the fact that you perceive the intentionality behind the communication. Language is a vessel, but truth is the treasure it carries. When both align properly, words do not merely inform the mind, they touch the spirit, stir thought, awaken hunger, and illuminate realities that were once hidden in plain sight.

I have always believed that the WORD of GOD deserves excellence in presentation, not for intellectual vanity, but because divine truth is weighty. The scripture says, “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.” There is a beauty to truth when it is communicated with clarity, precision, wisdom, and life.

Too often, people separate spirituality from depth of thought, as though intelligence, language, structure, and insight somehow diminish dependence on THE HOLY SPIRIT. But throughout scripture, GOD ALMIGHTIEST consistently used men who could communicate with conviction, wisdom, and spiritual accuracy. Moses was learned, Paul reasoned profoundly, Solomon spoke with extraordinary insight, and JESUS communicated eternal mysteries through language so layered that generations are still unfolding its depths.

So hearing that the writings are not only edifying, but also enriching to engage with intellectually and spiritually, is genuinely encouraging.

And honestly, your own expression reveals that you are someone who does not merely read words, but tastes them. Not everyone recognizes rhythm, structure, nuance, thematic continuity, and conceptual layering in communication. It takes a certain attentiveness of mind and spirit to appreciate those things. That is why your observation stands out to me.

Most importantly, I am grateful that all of this points back to CHRIST. That is the true goal. If language is beautiful but does not reveal JESUS, then it becomes decoration without life. But when insight, truth, and expression converge to magnify CHRIST, strengthen believers, challenge minds, and awaken hunger for GOD ALMIGHTIEST, then communication becomes ministry.

I sincerely look forward to future interactions as well. Conversations sharpen understanding, and fellowship around the things of THE LORD is always enriching when approached with sincerity, humility, and hunger for truth.

By the grace of GOD ALMIGHTIEST, the body of CHRIST will continue to grow in revelation, maturity, discernment, power, and the knowledge of JESUS CHRIST.

You have a unique lens of view as regards the intent behind my replies, a Christlike disposition worth a place among the collection of rare treasures in the treasure room of my mind. This is not to mention the fact that your word choice and insightful associations in tandem betray the quality of a mega rich mind endowed with vast deposits of intellectual resources, and more importantly, a spirit reflecting the grace and qualities of a Spirit-led life. It is not my intention to hijack our communication to rain compliments on you, neither do I wish to diminish the purpose of this thread by my undue admiration of your verbal dexterity.

That said, I apologise for sidetracking your thread. Noteworthy, everything I see in you is the mirror-image of the glory of God to whom be the honour and praise now and forevermore.

Your words are deeply gracious, and I receive them with humility and gratitude. But truly, all glory belongs to GOD ALMIGHTIEST. Whatever light you perceive in me is only the reflection of CHRIST, for no man can produce divine substance from himself apart from THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

And please, do not apologize for the direction of the conversation. Fellowship in truth, grace, discernment, and mutual edification is never a distraction when CHRIST remains at the center. Sometimes what begins as a discussion becomes communion, and what starts as observation becomes sharpening. Even this exchange itself bears witness to the beauty of believers speaking life, wisdom, and grace to one another in a world increasingly starved of sincerity.

What blesses me most is not the admiration itself, but your ability to trace every perceived excellence back to its true source. That is the mark of spiritual maturity. Carnal men terminate glory on vessels, but discerning hearts follow the river back to the fountain. The scripture says, “What do you have that you did not receive?” Every gift, insight, expression, and measure of wisdom is received.

And honestly, your own responses reveal a heart cultivated by contemplation, spiritual sensitivity, and depth of thought. There is gentleness in your articulation, but also intelligence, restraint, honor, and reverence. Those qualities are increasingly rare.

I believe one of the beautiful works of THE HOLY SPIRIT is not only to reveal CHRIST through preaching, but also through disposition. Through patience. Through humility. Through gracious speech. Through the ability to disagree without hostility, affirm without flattery, and communicate truth without pride. These things are fragrances of CHRIST.

The scripture says we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of THE LORD, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory by THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD. That transformation is evident whenever hearts converse in sincerity and point one another back to JESUS.

So let all praise indeed return to HIM, the AUTHOR of wisdom, the GIVER of grace, and the SOURCE of every good and perfect gift. Long after language fades, HE remains the eternal WORD.

Grace and peace to you, and to the body of CHRIST. Let our generation hunger more for substance than spectacle, for truth more than performance, and for JESUS more than everything else.
