The Realm of Faith

The Realm of Faith
By Dr Joel Dabbas 

Beloved, we live in a world that is governed by principles, laws, and systems. However, there exists a realm beyond the natural, beyond what our five senses can comprehend—this is the realm of faith. It is not a mere concept, a fleeting ideal, or a religious formality. No! The realm of faith is a living, breathing reality, capable of shifting the very foundation of our lives and of the world around us.

What Is the Realm of Faith?

The realm of faith is not just an abstract, mystical idea; it is a spiritual dimension that transcends the natural laws. It is a place where God’s promises are not only believed but activated, where the unseen becomes seen, and the impossible is made possible.

Faith is more than belief; it is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It is a reality that exists in the spirit realm, a realm that interacts with the natural world but is not subject to its limitations. When you operate in the realm of faith, you are tapping into a divine reality where God’s power is made manifest. Faith moves beyond mental assent and becomes the operating system of the believer, allowing them to bring the will of God into the physical realm.

The realm of faith is both a mental and spiritual space. It is a place where your heart is aligned with God’s purposes and where your belief in His Word opens the door for His power to be at work. It is the place of spiritual sight, spiritual hearing, and spiritual activity. In this realm, what is impossible in the natural becomes not just possible but inevitable.

Understanding What Is in the Realm of Faith

In this realm, we find that there are immeasurable possibilities. The Word of God tells us that with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). But it is not enough to just know this in theory; we must come to a place of deep understanding that within the realm of faith, every promise of God is yes and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20).

In this realm:

• Miracles are natural: When you access the realm of faith, miracles stop being extraordinary events. They become a natural flow of life. Jesus said that those who believe in Him will do the works He did—and greater works than these (John 14:12).

• Divine favor becomes a lifestyle: In the realm of faith, the favor of God is no longer a sporadic event. It becomes a permanent reality. The blessings of God chase after you, because faith attracts the attention of God. (Psalm 23:6).

• The Word of God is a tangible substance: The Bible does not just remain a historical or literary book. It becomes life to those who find it (Proverbs 4:22). Every promise in God’s Word becomes an irrefutable truth that shapes your reality. When you speak God’s Word in faith, it does not return void, but accomplishes that which it was sent for (Isaiah 55:11).

The realm of faith is not just the absence of doubt; it is the presence of divine possibilities. It is where you function in a new level of authority and power, where you speak things into existence by the Word of God, and they begin to manifest. This is why Jesus could curse the fig tree, and it withered, or command the winds to cease, and they obeyed (Mark 11:12-14, 39-41).

The realm of faith is the realm of kingdom creativity. Creativity is not a product of this earthly realm; it originates from a divine realm. When you exist in the realm of faith, you are able to function in this divine ability. Faith allows you to call forth realities that are not yet known to the civilization of this world and bring them into tangible experience.

Hebrews 11:3 (KJV) states, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” This means that faith connects your mind to the wisdom of God, enabling you to understand and operate in the creative power of His word. By faith, you can access God's divine wisdom and creativity to shape realities beyond the natural and manifest them in the physical world.

Governing Authorities in the Realm of Faith

Beloved, the realm of faith is not an ungoverned or chaotic environment. It is a realm that operates under divine governing authorities—principles, forces, and structures that uphold and establish the laws of the spirit. Just as the natural world is governed by laws such as gravity, time, and space, the realm of faith is governed by spiritual forces and spiritual principles that believers must understand and operate in.

In this realm, we are not mere spectators, but participants—active, authoritative participants who have been given dominion by God. However, to function effectively, we must understand and submit to these governing authorities. Let’s explore the most foundational ones:

1. The Word of God

The Word of God is the supreme authority in the realm of faith. It is not just a book; it is the inspired, living voice of God that carries His will, His mind, and His nature. The Word is the foundation upon which everything in the faith realm rests. As Jesus Himself said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

In the faith realm, the Word of God is:

• The final authority: No other word, opinion, or philosophy can supersede or alter what God has spoken. When God speaks, it is settled. His Word has the power to create, to destroy, to heal, to bless, and to redeem.

• The sword of the Spirit: The Word is our weapon in spiritual warfare. (Ephesians 6:17). Jesus Himself demonstrated this when He was tempted in the wilderness. Every temptation was met with a declaration of the Word of God. In the same way, we must use the Word as our shield and sword to stand against the forces of darkness.

• The pattern of faith: Faith grows and is activated through the Word. Romans 10:17 makes it clear: "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." When we meditate on the Word, we align our hearts and minds with the will of God, thus establishing faith in our spirits.

2. The Name of Jesus

The Name of Jesus is the most powerful weapon and authority in the realm of faith. It is not merely a title; it is the access key to the supernatural, the power of the Godhead, and the authority of Heaven itself. The Name of Jesus is the highest authority that exists both in Heaven and on Earth.

In the realm of faith, the Name of Jesus:

• Represents His authority: Jesus declared, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me” (Matthew 28:18). The Name is the legal representation of Jesus Christ Himself, and it carries His power, dominion, and authority. When we invoke the Name, we are not just calling a title, we are invoking His Person, His Presence, and His power.

• Unlocks the supernatural: Jesus taught us to pray in His Name (John 14:13-14), because in His Name, we are granted access to the Father’s resources, the Holy Spirit’s assistance, and divine intervention in every situation. This is why we can command sickness to go, demons to flee, and miracles to manifest—all in the Name of Jesus.

• Enforces victory over the enemy: The devil and his forces are powerless against the Name of Jesus. Philippians 2:10 says that at the Name of Jesus, every knee must bow—whether in heaven, on earth, or under the earth. When you speak in the Name of Jesus, it’s like wielding a scepter of divine authority that commands all forces to align with God’s will.

3. The Blood of Jesus

The Blood of Jesus is another critical governing authority in the realm of faith. The Blood is the foundation of our redemption and the means by which we are justified, sanctified, and ultimately empowered to live by faith.

The Blood of Jesus:

• Speaks for us: Hebrews 12:24 tells us that the Blood of Jesus speaks better things than the blood of Abel. The blood speaks redemption, forgiveness, and victory over every accusation of the enemy. When we plead the Blood, we are invoking the legal declaration of our righteousness before God.

• Cleanses and purifies: The Blood of Jesus purifies us from all sin (1 John 1:7). This purification is essential to accessing the full authority of the faith realm. When you are washed in the Blood, you are cleansed from guilt, shame, and condemnation, and your heart is made bold to approach the throne of grace with confidence.

• Protects and preserves: The Blood of Jesus also serves as a spiritual covering that protects us from the enemy. In Exodus 12, God instructed the Israelites to place the blood of the lamb on their doorposts to protect them from the spirit of death. In the same way, we are spiritually protected by the Blood, which grants us immunity from all forms of spiritual attacks.

4. The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the divine presence of God within the believer and is a key governing authority in the realm of faith. He is the helper, the teacher, and the empowerer who guides us into all truth and makes the will of God a living reality in our lives.

The Holy Spirit:

• Empowers us for works of faith: The Holy Spirit is the One who empowers our faith. Through His presence, we receive boldness, wisdom, and revelation to walk out God’s will in our lives. Acts 1:8 makes it clear: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you..." Without the Holy Spirit, faith becomes a mere intellectual exercise. But with His empowerment, faith becomes a force that moves mountains.

• Reveals the mysteries of God: The Holy Spirit also reveals the deep things of God, showing us what is ours in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 2:10). He helps us understand the Word of God and gives us the discernment to recognize the will of God in every situation. In this way, the Holy Spirit becomes the guiding force of our faith.

• Teaches us to pray in faith: The Holy Spirit helps us to pray with authority and passion. Romans 8:26-27 tells us that He helps us in our weakness, interceding on our behalf with groanings that cannot be uttered. When we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us in prayer, we pray in accordance with God’s perfect will, aligning our faith with Heaven’s agenda.

5. The Covenant of God

The Covenant is another vital governing authority in the faith realm. From the beginning of time, God has established covenants with His people, and these covenants are the legal basis upon which God fulfills His promises. As believers, we are heirs of the New Covenant established in the Blood of Jesus (Luke 22:20, Hebrews 9:15).

The Covenant of God:

• Secures divine promises: Every promise in the Bible is guaranteed because of the covenant God made with His people. When God speaks, He is bound by His Word and His covenant to fulfill it. This gives the believer confidence that God will always keep His Word (Titus 1:2).

• Confers authority to claim blessings: Through the covenant, we have the right to claim the blessings of God as our inheritance. As heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17), we have access to all the blessings and provisions that God has promised His people.

• Requires faithfulness: To operate effectively in the realm of faith, we must understand that the covenant is a two-way relationship. While God is forever faithful, we must also walk in obedience and faithfulness to His commands, to ensure that the covenant remains active in our lives.

6. The Power of Agreement (The Corporate Anointing)

One of the most powerful governing authorities in the realm of faith is the power of agreement. Jesus taught us that "if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven" (Matthew 18:19).

The power of agreement:

• Magnifies the power of faith: When believers come into agreement in faith, their collective faith becomes more powerful. This is why the Bible speaks of the power of corporate prayer, where the anointing and faith of the body of Christ are multiplied.

• Brings unity and manifestation: The strength of faith in agreement is that it aligns the hearts of believers with God’s will, and this unity brings manifestation. The corporate anointing in prayer, worship, and fellowship accelerates the release of miracles and blessings.

The Divine Order of the Faith Realm

Beloved, the realm of faith is not a chaotic, free-for-all atmosphere. It is a realm of divine order, established by the governing authorities of the Word of God, the Name of Jesus, the Blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Covenant of God, and the power of agreement. When we align ourselves with these authorities, we unlock the full potential of the faith realm, seeing the manifestation of divine power in our lives.

As you grow in understanding and submission to these governing principles, you will experience a life of consistent victory, divine provision, and supernatural intervention. The kingdom of God is at hand, and it operates by faith—through

these spiritual authorities.

May you walk in the full authority of these principles and experience the glory of God in every area of your life, in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.

Accessing the Realm of Faith

Accessing the realm of faith requires a conscious decision to live by a different set of laws—the laws of the Spirit. The first key to entering the realm of faith is hearing the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). This means that without the Word of God, you cannot access the realm of faith. The Word is the seed that births faith within the heart of the believer.

But access is not automatic. It requires intentional meditation on the Word. Joshua 1:8 tells us to meditate on the Word day and night so that we may observe to do according to all that is written therein. Meditation builds conviction, and conviction is what opens the door to the manifestation of faith.

Furthermore, the realm of faith is accessed by humility. It is easy to become prideful in the natural world, where we can rely on our intellect, our wealth, or our connections. But the realm of faith is a realm where the humble are exalted. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). When you humble yourself, you position yourself for God to work in you and through you. This is a posture of dependence, not on your abilities, but on the God who calls things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17).

The next key to accessing the realm of faith is obedience. Faith without works is dead (James 2:26). Obedience to God’s instructions, even when they defy logic or the limitations of your senses, is what activates the realm of faith. Many times, God will ask you to do things that make no sense to your natural mind. But in the realm of faith, obedience is the currency that draws on the power of God.

Finally, you must pray in the Spirit. Jude 1:20 tells us to build ourselves up in our most holy faith by praying in the Holy Ghost. When you pray in tongues, you are aligning your spirit with the will of God, building your inner man, and stirring up the faith that resides in you. It is in these moments of communion with the Holy Spirit that the realm of faith becomes tangible, and you begin to see the manifestation of God’s promises.

Operating in the Realm of Faith

Once you have accessed the realm of faith, it’s time to operate in it. Faith is not just a passive state; it is an active force. It must be engaged, spoken, and used to create change in your life and in the world around you.

Operating in the realm of faith involves:

1. Speaking the Word: Faith is released through your words. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. What are you saying? Are you declaring the promises of God over your life, your family, your health, your finances, your ministry? Your words are the catalyst for change in the realm of faith.

2. Acting on the Word: If you truly believe, you will act. When the Bible says, "By His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5), do you simply believe it in your mind, or do you begin to walk in divine health? Faith without action is futile. Acting on the Word brings the power of faith into motion.

3. Standing firm in faith: There will be moments when circumstances do not immediately align with your faith. But remember, faith is not subject to time. Stand firm on the Word of God. Let your heart be unwavering. Patience is a necessary ingredient in the operation of faith (James 1:3-4).

4. Worshiping in faith: Worship is not just a song or a moment of emotional expression; it is a declaration of faith. When you worship God in spirit and in truth, you are acknowledging that He is bigger than your circumstances, that He has the final say in your life. Worship releases the power of faith.

Endnote: Living in the Realm of Faith

As you begin to walk and live in the realm of faith, understand this: it is not a destination, but a lifestyle. You don’t just visit the realm of faith when you need something; you live in it. The realm of faith is not a momentary encounter with God—it is a perpetual reality where every step you take is guided by His Word, every decision you make is powered by His Spirit, and every circumstance is subject to His authority.

Beloved, the realm of faith is the place where you truly see God’s glory manifest in your life. It is a place of limitless possibilities, a place where you walk with God, talk with God, and experience His power daily. This is the life we are called to—a life of faith.

May you live in this realm, walk in it, and never return to the realm of doubt and limitation again. In Jesus' name, Amen.
