Information without Application Produces No Manifestation

Faith is Applied Knowledge
Faith is more than what you believe in your head and heart. Many people believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Savior and they believe that both in their mind and in their heart. However, just because they believe that, that will not save them from the awaiting judgment of God that will be poured out on all those who fail to repent of their sins and turn from their ungodly ways and accept Christ way and continue in it. (I just said a mouth full.)
The Faith Formula
Believing Christ is all who the Bible says he is, is good. But that by its self will not save you. Information without application produces no manifestation. On the other hand, right Information with sufficient and correct application produces the corresponding manifestation. Therefore, when you apply the right information to the right situation, it will produce the appropriate manifestation.
Faith without Works is Dead
This is why James said, “faith without works is dead”. That means that believing the truth without doing what it says or without applying it to your life, problem, situation or desire, will not cause anything proactive to happen. What you believe will remain as inactive information in your head.
Transforming Information from Inactive to Proactive
Faith is a concept that means to take or put into action; to activate what you believe. Faith is the force or spiritual energy that activates inactive information stored in the heart of your mind and causes it to become proactive information. By acting on the information, you initiate the transformation of information into physical manifestation.
It is Impossible to Please God without Faith
In conclusion, faith is the proactive application of information, which is applied knowledge. Without applying the information God has graciously given us through the Holy Scriptures, it is impossible to please God. For it is written, “If you love God, then obey His commandments” (do what His Word instructs us to do). This is the kind of faith that connects with God and produces the results that pleases God.
