Concerning Faith…

Faith is…

a tool to create a future
the key to unlock God’s storehouse of Blessing
the weapon that defeats Satan

Faith is looking at the contradiction of a situation and not being moved.

You will never experience the faithfulness of God if you do not stretch into an area of discomfort.  You do not stay comfortable in the spirit unless the flesh is uncomfortable.

How much will God do for us?  As one well-known minister of the gospel says, “If you can conceive it, you can receive it.” However much you can conceive God’s love for you, you can receive that love in the form of manifestations on earth.

Every time we confront something and go through it, we have a victory that no devil in hell can take from us.

Faith is described as a knowing that produces the joy of the answer before it comes.

Discernment is a product of your spirit, and it opens the door to faith.  Reasoning is a product of your head, and it opens the door to fear.

Faith is stepping out on nothing and landing on something.

Your point of fear is your point of failure. (So, your point of faith must conversely be your point of success!)

Satan knows that if he can defeat your thoughts, he will defeat your faith.

Speaking is the #1 action of releasing faith.

We always have bigger things in our spirit than our flesh knows how to do.

Faith must be focused or it is worthless.

Believing is what God requires us to do in order to receive from Him.  I know it is God’s plan for getting something to me.  I know when I apply my own belief to something God said, I am on my way to seeing whatever I need in the natural come to pass.

Faith involves three things:

Power – God’s ability to do it
Wisdom – His Knowing how to do it
Goodness – His willingness to do it

Faith will explore what revelation has revealed.  There will be obstacles to the journey, however, which must be overcome.

Faith is a practical expression of confidence in God’s Word.

Faith says as faith sees.

Faith is not the price that buys your blessing, but the hand that receives it.

Anything you fear shows forgetfulness of God.

The believer’s job is to believe.

Positive words hope for change.  Faith creates change!

Take hold of the anointing by beginning to expect.

The “measure of faith” is given to enable you to do what God has called you to do with boldness. It helps you use the gift God has given you.

Fear and faith will be present with you each day; the one you choose will rule your life.

You do not receive according to what God can do; you receive according to what you believe. Where is your faith level?

Faith is an act motivated by the Word.

Never feel condemned for the faith you do not have.  Be encouraged by the faith you do have and believe it is increasing.

Faith is having a good opinion of God.
