6. The Gift of Faith - Kim Schmelzer by Joy Church Eugene

Read OnlineAt that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.”  Matthew 11:25This passage is in stark contrast to the passage just before it in which Jesus chastised the towns of Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum for not repenting and believing in Him. And as soon as Jesus issued those rebukes, He turned His eyes to Heaven and offered praise to the Father for revealing the hidden mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven to those who were “childlike.”One of the greatest threats to a pure and childlike faith is intellectual pride. Those who consider themselves as “wise and learned” are often tempted to rely upon their own reasoning abilities to come to conclusions and beliefs in life. The problem is that even though the matters of our faith are fully reasonable, they go beyond the conclusions that human reason alone can achieve. We cannot figure out God by ourselves. We need the gift of faith for that, and the gift of faith begins with a spiritual communication from God through which He reveals to us Who He is and what is true. Only the childlike, meaning, those who are humble, are able to hear this form of communication from God and respond.This passage also reveals to us that Jesus passionately rejoices in this form of humble faith. He gives “praise” to the Father in Heaven for witnessing such faith, because Jesus knows that this form of faith originates from the Father. In your life, it is important that you regularly ponder whether you are more like the wise and learned or like those who are childlike. Though God is an infinite and incomprehensible mystery, He must be known. And the only way we can come to know God is if He reveals Himself to us. And the only way God will reveal Himself to us is if we remain humble and childlike.As we come to childlike faith, we must also imitate the praise that Jesus offered the Father for the faith that He witnessed in the lives of His followers. We, too, must turn our eyes to those who clearly manifest this pure knowledge of God by the gift of faith. As we see this faith lived, we must rejoice and offer praise to the Father. And this act of praise must be given not only when we see faith alive in others, it must also be given when we see the gift of faith grow within our own soul. We must foster a holy awe of what God does within us, and we must rejoice in that experience. Reflect, today, upon Jesus giving praise to the Father as He witnesses the faith born in the hearts of His followers. When Jesus looks at you, what does He do? Does He issue chastisements? Or does His Sacred Heart rejoice and give praise for what He sees. Give joy to the Heart of Christ by humbling yourself to the point that you, too, are counted among the childlike who truly know and love God. My rejoicing Lord, You are attentive to the workings of grace in every human heart. As You see the Voice of the Father speaking to Your children, You rejoice at such a sight. Dear Lord, I pray that my own heart will be the cause of Your joy and Your praise of the Father in Heaven. Please speak to me and help me to believe with all my heart. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: James Tissot, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

BIBLE STUDY| MIRACLES OF JESUS SERIES.|THE FOURTH MIRACLE OF JESUS pt.51| THE FEEDING OF 5,000 MEN WITH 5 LOAVES OF BREAD AND 2 FISHES| CHIMDI OHAHUNA Welcome back to the GRACELIFECOMI PODCAST, hosted by Chimdi Ohahuna. In this enlightening episode of our Bible study series on the Miracles of Jesus, Chimdi Ohahuna guides us through the powerful truth of "The Gift of Faith," as highlighted in John 6:11 and 1 Corinthians 12:9. We focus on the significance of spiritual gifts and their impact on the lives of believers. This session emphasizes that the gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the Gift of Faith, are inherently given to every child of God and cannot be earned through acts like fasting or prayer. Rather, these spiritual gifts are embedded within us, and as we cultivate spiritual maturity, manifesting and maintaining these gifts becomes a natural process. Key learning points include: - Differentiating between the rudimentary faith received at new birth and the extraordinary Gift of Faith, which empowers believers to confront significant challenges with confidence. - Highlighting the importance of spiritual maturity, not only in discovering our gifts but also in utilizing them effectively throughout our lives. - Understanding how an individual's gifts are inherently connected to their unique natural strengths and how focusing on these strengths amplifies our faith journey. - Recognizing the extraordinary potential of the Gift of Faith, which allows believers to accomplish remarkable feats and experience God's presence in impactful ways. Our insights will draw from the commentaries of F.B. Meyer and John Gill, which reveal how God works through His gifts, enabling us to communicate and act with divine authority. This episode will inspire you to fully embrace and utilize your spiritual gifts, fostering a deeper connection with God that leads to extraordinary outcomes. Join us for this enlightening session that promises to deepen your understanding of faith and equip you with the tools to walk confidently in the abundance of God's grace. Don't miss this opportunity to enrich your faith journey! Subscribe to the GRACELIFECOMI Podcast for more impactful teachings as we journey together through the miracles of Jesus Christ! Any questions arising from this study can be submitted to chimdiohahunaministry@gmail.com. Check our bio to know how to give your love offerings to the ministry. Jesus is Lord.

The Gift of Faith (John 4:43-54)

The gift of faith stands distinct from natural faith, saving faith, and the fruit of faithfulness as a supernatural surge of confidence from the Holy Spirit. This divine gift operates beyond human possibilities, manifesting in moments when natural abilities reach their limits. Throughout scripture, from Daniel to Paul, we see examples of this supernatural faith enabling ordinary people to face extraordinary circumstances. This gift often works in conjunction with other spiritual gifts, leading to miracles and healing when believers step out in obedience.

Prayer Call Extravagant God 3 Gift Of Faith.mp3 by Sherman L. Young, Sr.

Instead of meditating on the Bible, many times we try to work up our own faith. It becomes a game of mental positivism—a denial of reality. But there's a gift of real faith that comes from God. Rather than rushing in and trying to believe in ourselves for things, we should spend more time in God's Word. Faith comes from hearing the Word!

In this episode, we discuss the nature of God, “who” God is, beginning with God the Father. Our reading explains how the Creed begins with God the Father because he is the first Divine Person of the most Holy Trinity. God is one Divine Being made up of three persons, and his identity is a deep mystery. Fr. Mike explains that God is a single ‘what' made up of three ‘who's.' Despite this mystery, God is not an anonymous force. He has revealed himself to us by making his name known to us, and he has thus made himself accessible. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 198-204. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

The Catechism we are reading follows the structure of the Apostles' Creed with frequent references to the Nicene Creed for further details and explanations. Together, these Creeds aid us in articulating the beliefs we share with all members of the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike discusses why St. Ambrose refers to the Creed as “an ever-present guardian” and “treasure of our soul.” He encourages us not to take this gift for granted.

As Catholics, we can't pick and choose the areas of Church teaching we want to accept; we must believe the entire truth of the Faith because we believe in God, who has revealed it to us. Fr.
