How Does Faith Work ?

We all have been there, I just can't get my faith to work, I am no good. I can not get my faith to work, God is mad at me.

We know how faith comes, we have heard how many sundays. Rom.10:17 . We know what faith is. Heb.11:1 .We know God comands faith Heb.11:6
All this is good but how do I get my faith working how do I move ahead in my walk with Christ.

I know, oh ya, I know you have heard all this many times especially if you full gospel or in a faith ministry church.
Well in all the faith messages I have yet to hear one on how faith works, what makes it work, or what I can do to make faith work.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Heb.11:6

I really want to please God my father, but time after time I have messed up. How do I diligently seek after Him, so that I may please.
Oh boy so many times God made a way for me that I am ashamed because I let Him down with my sinning.
Like the poem FOOT PRINTS.

Faith Is the substance of things hoped for Is the evidence of things not seen Heb.11:1

Where is the evidences of faith, it is supposed to PRODUCE:

Hope
(Romans 5:2)
Joy
(Acts 16:34; 1 Peter 1:8)
Peace
(Romans 15:13)
Confidence
(Isaiah 28:16; 1 Peter 2:6)
Boldness in preaching
(Psalms 116:10; 2 Corinthians 4:13)
Christ is precious to those having
(1 Peter 2:7)
Christ dwells in the heart by
(Ephesians 3:17)
Necessary in prayer
(Matthew 21:22; James 1:6)
Those who are not Christ's have not
(John 10:26,27)
An evidence of the new birth
(1 John 5:1)
Ok I am sorry (in me) and a lot of the churches today these are scarce. How do I get my faith to work these evidences.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
(Romans 10:17)

Yes I have followed many faith preachers. I am amazed at there expressions of faith and sermons. Smith Wiggelsworh an early 1800's evangelist was great. Brother Haggen,messmerized me.
Why does it work for them so well. I feel left out I want my faith to work. I want God to be pleased with me.

This is important :

In the greek which a lot of the Bible was translated from the root word for faith can be used for believe, and trust.
so where you believe you can put faith. Where see believe you can use trust. Are you getting the ideal. Faith, believe, trust are interchangable.

HOW DOES FAITH WORK.
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Galatians 5:6

First and foremost we are in Christ Jesus. Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith(Hebrews 12:2)
Second it does not matter if we are Jew or Gentile. Male or female. Brown,yellow,white,or black.
Third our faith works by love of God.
Our believing works by love of God.
Our trust works by love of God.
But without FAITH it is impossible to please him:
But without TRUST it is impossible to please him:
But without BELIEF it is impossible to please him:

Whatever God ask of us He ask of Himself.

You find that an unusual statment, I guess. If God ask us to love Him, then God is bound by His justice to love us. 1John 3 declares God is love. Read What Jesus prayed in John 17.
Why must our faith work by love, because we are made in the image of God with free will.
There is nothing you can do to make God love you. You can not be good enough. All our rightousness is as filthy rags before Him. He loves you because he wants to. It is His will to love you.
We have free will also. So loving God must be a free choice of ours. Our faith,trust,or believing in the rightousness of Jesus by his power authority, even in our sin if we give God our love freely honestly our faith works.

Some feel we are in the last days.

I am not a theologin. The holy spirit will get me into a subject and bug me till I work it out in my life.
Ok an example is the seven churches of revalations
the spirit kept bugging me till I did a study. first I tryed to show seven diffrent dogmas or belief systems. That didn't work. Making a long story short. When you strip away all the fluff the spirit was saying one thing to all the churches. the spirit was saying to return to the love of God. The spirit is still telling us today our faith works by the love of God.

A few years ago my aunts Hellen,and Opal,and I would get together once a week to read through the Bible.
I was reading when I came to Galatians 5:6 KJV
6: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. It was like something sucked all the ir out of me, I could not read on.
I tryed to explain to them faith working by love they finally got it. I hope you do also.
