The Unknown: Moving From Belief Into the Depths of God
Core Message
Moving from belief into faith requires entering the unknown realm of God through sacrifice and surrender, where the depths of His divinity are revealed not through intellect or visible signs but through the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Key Scripture
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. — Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
3 Key Takeaways
- The depths of God exist only in the unknown realm, and those who remain in what is common, familiar, and widely understood remain on the surface where there is no spiritual power.
- Belief and faith are fundamentally different: belief is a conviction sustained by grace that is sufficient for salvation, while faith is substance that requires sacrifice and entry into the unknown to operate.
- The Holy Spirit is the abiding presence through whom God is known in depth, and seeking Jesus externally after being born again reflects a failure to recognize that He dwells within as Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.
Prayer Focus
Pray that God will strip away your comfort and push you into the unknown depths of His nature, empowering you to move beyond belief into the substance of faith through sacrifice and Spirit-led encounter.
“The depths of God are not in the shallow places. They are in the deep places. And if you're going to go to the deep places, you have to understand that you won't find a lot of people in those places.”
