Faith

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him Hebrews 11:6

The currency of the Kingdom of God is Faith. There is only one universal thing acceptable in the sight of God-things whose source is faith. This means therefore that no matter what we present before God; be it a sacrifice or a request, faith is not only necessary but it is paramount and vital. We can neither trust what we see nor what we feel, we must trust in who God is and what He has said. All else is non factor.
God is not limited by time or space, He is not more likely to move when our environment is more allowing or when our senses feel more spiritual. Whether we feel spiritual or not, whether it seems more likely or not; one thing and one thing only is required-FAITH. Let us not go to Him neither in presumption nor doubt. Let's humbly and firmly trust that He is God and that it is impossible for Him to lie.
