James 3:13

who is a wise man and ended with knowledge among you? Let him show out of a good conversation, his works with meekness of wisdom. "

The faith of our Lord Jesus is practical; it is practicable. It is not vague, neither is it vain. It is not void of a practical expression of God that is visible or evident, yes, God is a spirit, yet He can express Himself in visible forms or dimensions.

Hebrew 11:1 tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for;the evidence of things not seen as yet. Faith therefore expresses itself in visible forms to give expression to visible realities. The lose four men that carried their friend, who was sick with the palsy to Jesus in Mark 2:1-12, the word tells us that Jesus saw it; He saw their faith. Hallelujah! Beloved, be not deceived, Bible faith is practical and practicable ;it always has an expression invisible forms of the invisible realities of God's light or faith.

Beloved, be practical with your faith. Let your life reflect the reality that Jesus indeed came in the flesh. It is important to have the knowledge of that Jesus has done by his coming, but even more importantly, you must have practical wisdom to help you walk in the light of the word. For example, it is one thing to know that water quenched thirst;it is another thing to get water when you are thirsty and drink it and have your thirst quenched. Knowledge is good, but it's not enough until knowledge becomes understanding and practical wisdom in you, you don't know as you ought to. That's exactly what James 3:13 is communicating to us that it is only by works of wisdom that we show wisdom.

God wants us to reveal Him. He doesn't just want us to tell the world that Jesus came, he wants us to reveal Jesus to the world in practical terms. This means that you shouldn't just believe in prosperity, you ought to live out prosperity. You shouldn't just believe in righteousness, you ought to walk in it.

Galatians5:25 says

if we live in the spirit, let us also work in the spirit
