Real faith

Many believers are worn out and feel like quitting  because their faith  is based on their own works, not those of the Lord Jesus. They believe  they must earn favor, grace and the promises of Father God by working for Him. 

What is faith?  Faith is trusting what  has already been provided. We are always worn out and discouraged if we work at faith rather than allowing our faith to work for us.

We exercise our faith when we act as if all the promises are really for us, God’s dear children. We take hold of what is given in the inheritance we have in Christ.  Our faith takes firm hold of what Father’s abundant grace has already provided through the finished work of Jesus Christ.
  
By faith, we take possession of the promises  and inheritance God has already given us.  Father God has made provision ahead of time for everything we will ever need in life. He is Jehovah Jireh, the one who makes provision ahead of time so that when we need something, it already exists. 

2 Peter 1:2 Amplified Bible
2 May grace (God’s favor) and peace (which is perfect well-being, all necessary good, all spiritual prosperity, and freedom from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts) be multiplied to you in [the full, personal, precise, and correct] knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

Our part is to expect, simply  trusting in Him and not in our own efforts.  Just like Abraham, we are to confidently act on and rely on Father to keep His word and bring His promise to pass.
