We have seen that God has provided a marvellous salvation from all the consequences of man's rebellion. This salvation is to be received through repentance and faith. God expects us to change our allegiance. We must now love Him and serve Him - not our old selfish and corrupt desires. He wants to set us free from every oppression. But as well as this change of allegiance or repentance we need to believe God and His promises with a living faith. In this lesson we will consider what it means to have faith in God.
What is Faith?
Faith is not religion. Many times people say "We have our faith". What they mean is this: "We have our religious ideas and doctrines, our traditions, our ways of doing things passed down through the generations. Don't you try to change them." This is not the Biblical idea of faith.
Faith is not mental assent. It is not agreeing with your mind, "Yes, that is true." Many professing Christians believe mentally that the Bible is the Word of God, but this faith does not change the way they live. It is not a faith that can save. (James 2:14)
Even demons have that kind of faith. They know and believe that God exists (James 2:19) - and tremble. They have no loving confidence in God.
Faith is not a way to manipulate God. It is not a power by which we make God do what WE want when otherwise He would be unwilling to do that thing. It is not a kind of magic through which we make God into our servant!
Faith is not hope, nor positive desire. Hope is good, and relates to the future. Faith, however, takes the promise as done NOW. Many people have hope and are anxiously looking for results, but they lack the settled confidence and present assurance which faith has.
In the general sense of the word, to have faith is to believe in something or someone, to fully trust, to be so confident that you base your actions on what you believe. To have faith is to be fully convinced of the truthfulness and reliability of that in which you believe.
Faith in God then, is having the kind of trust and confidence in God and in Christ that leads you to commit your whole soul to Him as Saviour (Justifier, Cleanser, Healer, Deliverer) and Lord (Master, King).
The NIV translation says, "Faith is being sure of what we hope for, and certain of what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1 NIV).
The NKJV of the Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1).
Faith is a spiritual substance. When you have this spiritual substance in you, it communicates to you a certain inner knowing that the thing you are hoping for is certainly established, even before you see any material evidence that it has happened.
Faith is a spiritual force. Faith in God is a response to God's Word which moves God to act. Jesus said in Mark 11:23, "For assuredly I say to you, whoever SAYS to this mountain, 'Be removed and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but BELIEVES that those things he SAYS will be done, he will HAVE whatever he SAYS." Words mixed with the real, pure faith can and will move mountains or any other problem that we face.
Faith in God must be from the heart. It is not merely intellectual. It is spiritual. "For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Romans 10:10)
Faith causes you to know in your heart before you see with your eyes. "For we walk by faith, not by sight." (2Cor 5.7)
Some say, "Seeing is believing." Once you see the thing hoped for already existing in the natural order, you don't need faith.
Hope is a condition for faith. Hope is "a positive unwavering expectation of good". Hope is for the mind (1 Thessalonians 5:8; Hebrews 6:19), an anchor for the soul. It keeps us in the place where we can believe, but it is not in itself "faith". Yet, without hope there are no "things hoped for", and therefore there cannot be faith.
Through faith we can know we have the answer to our prayer before we see anything change in the natural order (1 John 5:14,15). Jesus said, "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." (Mk 11:24). God expects us, even commands us, to believe that our petitions are answered by God AT THE MOMENT WE MAKE THEM. We must believe that the response is immediately sent WHEN we pray. Faith is like the confirmation slip in our hearts that the goods are on the way. We have that confirmation slip instantly from God. We sense it in our hearts. The manifestation of those goods, the answer received, comes later as long as we are patient and do not throw away our confidence. (Hebrews 10:35-39; Hebrews 6:12)
Faith is like a cheque. All you have to do is hold on to the cheque, go to the bank to present it and you can confidently expect the money to appear in your account after a certain time. If you throw the cheque away the money will not be put in your account. God is trustworthy and always has resources to back his promises.
Living faith always has corresponding actions. We talk what we really believe, and we act according to what we really believe. The heroes of faith like Abraham were considered men of faith because they acted on what God showed them. They acted on their faith. (Hebrews 11:17-38, James 2:21-23).
To live in faith means to do and say what you believe is right, without doubting.
Faith is a rest. It is compatible with inner peace. It is not "trying to believe". To say that you are "trying to believe" God is to say that you don't believe Him. The man who is "trying to believe" may be sincere, but he does not have faith in that area yet.
Why must we believe God? Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
"Whatever is not of faith is sin" (Romans 14:23) and God hates sin. When we don't believe God, we treat Him like He is a liar. Remember that He is everywhere and sees all things. He is hurt when we act like He doesn't exist, or that He will not do what He promised to do. Only when we have confidence in God and His Word can we please Him.
Lack of faith leads to lack of obedience. God's commands can only really be fulfilled through faith. Without confidence in God's promises a man will never really do what God says. Lack of obedience in God's eyes is rebellion. Such lack of obedience dishonors God and surely deserves to be punished.
"The just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17). We must live by faith in order to be considered by God "right" and "correct". Otherwise we stand condemned.
Those who don't believe God inevitably believe in something else. Either religious tradition, or their understanding of science, or what the women's magazine says, or what their next door neighbour tells them, the education system, the mass-media or a combination of all these things. God is not impressed. "Professing to be wise, they became fools." (Romans 1:22) In fact, those who don't fully believing God end up believing the devil somewhere along the track. It is very possible to believe what the devil says without even believing that he exists! Satan is speaking through so many philosophies and religions without openly declaring himself. Not too many actually know they are trusting the words of satan and his demons.
God is therefore righteous in expecting us to believe in Him and what He says. Who is better qualified to tell us the truth and help us to find answers for life and eternity?
The Bible teaches us that genuine faith is "more precious than gold that perishes" (1 Peter 1:7). Indeed such faith is going to be "tested by fire". You can expect difficulties and persecutions in your life of faith, as well as blessings. Therefore to encourage you to hold onto and develop your faith, we will consider some of the benefits of faith.
1. Faith brings salvation. (Ephesians 2:8,9). Whosever believes in Him has eternal life. (John 3:16), and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. (John 5:24). The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:17)
2. Faith brings answers to prayer. "And whatever things you ask in prayer, really believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:22). Since God tells us to pray for our daily bread (Matthew 6:11), faith is therefore a key to our material provision.
3. Faith brings all the benefits of salvation into our lives (Ephesians 2:8,9). This includes healing, prosperity, peace, love, joy (1 Peter 1:8), deliverance from demons and the curse, sanctification of the mind and emotions (the salvation of the soul) and any other benefit which the word of God promises to us.
4. Faith is a spiritual force through which our ministry for Christ becomes effective. (Mark 11:23; Matthew 17:19,20). Faith is a major key to ministry success. It brings to you what you need for your ministry, and by imparting it to others through your life and your ministry of God's Word, you enable them to receive the blessings of God's grace mentioned above.
5. In particular, faith is the major key for an effective healing and deliverance ministry. Jesus Christ "the same yesterday, today and forever" lives in the Christian (Hebrews 13:8, Galatians 2:20), and through the Christian wants to reveal the power of salvation to men in a way they can see and feel. In this way, our evangelism concerning the Kingdom of God will not be in talk, but in power (1 Corinthians 4:20).
We see how important faith is. Yet some people despair here, thinking that they don't have faith. Yet faith comes (Romans 10:17), it can grow and develop. If you are not full of faith today, that doesn't mean you will be that way all your life. You can choose to be a person of faith!
Here are some keys to developing faith.
1. Listen to the Word of God as much as possible. "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Romans 10:17). Constant attention to the Word of God produces faith, especially if we attend to it with an open heart and mind. The book of Proverbs encourages us to constantly keep the Word in our hearts and to keep our attention on it (Proverbs 4:20-22). Health is one of the benefits promised.
What we listen to affects what we believe. If we listen to the TV more than to the Word, we will believe the lies of the world more than we will believe what God says. Constant attention to lies produces deception. Eventually the mind will accept something if that thing is heard often enough and persuasively enough. That is why we should keep hearing the Word of God, through preaching, Christian tapes, confession of the Word, daily fellowship with godly Christians. This will cause us eventually to believe the truth from our hearts.
2. Realise that every believer has been given a measure of faith by God. (Romans 12:3). We just have to use and develop what God has given. We must put it into action.
3. Pray in tongues and be full of the Spirit (Jude 20). We will look at this later. If you have been baptised in the Spirit as the disciples were in the book of Acts, you should pray and praise in tongues often because through this you "edify yourself" (1 Corinthians 14:4) and "build yourself up in your most holy faith". Praying in tongues is a key to being full of the Spirit. Since faith is a fruit of the Spirit, all things things are related together.
4. Obey God and the conviction of the Holy Spirit. It is as you walk that you gain strength. God will not reveal greater things to you until you are faithful in the things He is showing you NOW. Therefore obedience to the Spirit and what He is showing you through the Word or through your conscience is important in the development of your faith. You cannot have living faith without taking some practical steps of obedience. Act on what God is saying!
5. Give thanks. Give thanks for the results before you see. Don't complain - that shows you doubt God's love and God's answer to your situation. Give thanks in all situations (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
6. Develop a life of praise and worship. Praise drives the powers of darkness
away and brings the throne of God into your circumstances. Praising God is an
act of faith and helps your faith to grow. It is commanded (Hebrews 13:15).

"RECLAIMING Genuine APOSTOLIC ANOINTING"
-by J. Lee Grady.
The Bible tells us there are both true and false apostles. Let's
learn to discern the difference.
For many years traditional denominations taught that the ministry
of the apostle passed away after the New Testament era. It was
assumed that the only people who served in apostolic roles were
early followers of Jesus who witnessed His resurrection.
Cessationists (those who believe that miracles stopped after the
canon of Scripture was completed) believe that healing,
deliverance, prophecy and all other supernatural phenomena
ceased and that apostles are no longer necessary.
But as Christians in recent years began to experience the
supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, church leaders and even some
theologians began to teach that the gift of apostle is vital if we
hope to advance the gospel in our generation. The logic makes
sense: If we still need pastors, teachers and evangelists (all part
of Jesus' five-fold ministry mentioned in Ephesians 4:11), we also
need the apostles and prophets who are listed in the same
passage. The Bible never says these functions were discontinued.
During the 1990s there was a renewed interest in the ministry of
the apostle. Many books were written on the topic, explaining that
the Greek word apostolos refers to God's special ambassadors, or
"sent ones," who are commissioned to contend for pure doctrine,
preserve unity among the saints, equip leaders, model Christian
character and help the church advance into new territory.
But a strange thing happened on the way to recovering genuine
apostolic anointing. In true American fashion we began to merchandise it.
No sooner had the first book on apostles been written that some
men began to claim the title and print it on their business cards.
Apostleship became a fad. Before too long, some men were
creating networks of independent churches answerable to a
governing apostle who took ownership of their buildings and
controlled their congregations.
Some charismatic apostles became mini-popes who carved out
their fiefdoms. Suddenly the independent charismatic movement
had more invasive authoritarianism than the denominations these
pastors abandoned 10 years earlier.
In some circles apostles demanded total allegiance from the
leaders who were "under" them. Some required a policy of "tithing
up," creating a monstrous organizational structure similar to a
spiritual Amway. So-called apostles with huge "downlines" made
exorbitant amounts of money. One leader even offered pastors the
opportunity to become "spiritual sons" by contributing $1,000 a
month to his ministry.
Apostolic covering could now be bought. And apostolic grace was
reduced to the level of a motivational coach. May God forgive us
for reducing the value of such a precious gift.
I still believe we need the apostolic anointing—and I know many
wonderful apostles who have planted churches in many parts of
the world. As I have watched them, and studied the life of the
apostle Paul, I've seen three key truths we must reclaim today:
1. True apostles are servants. Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 12:28:
"And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second
prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings,
helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues" (NASB,
emphasis added). When carnally minded people read this verse
they assume God has set up some kind of ecclesiastical
hierarchy, with apostles sitting on thrones at the top.
But if we view leadership in the way Jesus taught it, we know that
being first is not about being on top. Apostles are at the bottom of
the pecking order. They are the servants of all. And because they
serve a foundational role, their work will often remain hidden in
obscurity. They are not looking for fame or celebrity, nor are they
grasping for a title; their role is to empower everyone else.
2. True apostles are unselfish. I know one apostle in India who
goes by the name of Pastor Howell. He has planted 600 churches
in the Punjab region, trained countless young church leaders in a
makeshift Bible school and led thousands of people to Christ. He
has also seen whole villages impacted by the gospel through one
miracle of healing. He has never ridden in a limousine and he lives
in a modest home with a straw roof that he shares with about 12
Bible college students.
The apostle Paul would have gagged if he could see how some
modern American apostles profit from their downlines or how they
require pampered treatment. Apostleship has nothing to do with
privilege. In fact Paul sometimes made tents for a living in order to
avoid the appearance of entitlement.
3. True apostles share Christ's suffering. True apostles live on the
edge. They push the boundaries of Christianity forward, into hostile
territory—and as a result they encounter more than their fair share
of persecution and spiritual warfare. They are never content to live
in a comfort zone. Yet even in foreign prisons they find joy and fulfillment.
One of my new heroes is a Nigerian pastor named Tunde Bolanta,
who bases his ministry in the dangerous northern area of his
country. I spent time with him last month when I was visiting
England. He lives in a city where Muslims have killed pastors,
maimed Christians with machetes and drowned their children in wells.
For Tunde, apostleship is not about getting the best seat on a
plane or having the largest TV audience. It is about teaching his
congregation to remain faithful to Christ even when receiving death
threats. And it is about sending his church members into difficult
regions where they could face martyrdom.
As our nation faces a turbulent economic crisis, I pray that we will
allow the Holy Spirit to shake the greed, pride and self-centeredness
out of our movement. False apostles prefer the primrose path over
the Calvary road. May God grant us true apostolic anointing that is
marked by New Testament courage, unquestionable integrity and
Christ-like humility.

my faith shaken, pray for me to strengthen my faith and that my situation can improve...
we need to get real sometimes...
Stir up the gift/Faith & Boldness
Timothy says to "stir up the gift" you've been given. Do it!
The Bible says when you pray in the spirit (tongues) you "edify yourself" and that you are "building up you're most precious Holy Faith". There are 2 results from praying in loud bold tongues. Strong faith and boldness.
Wanna spiritually muscle flex and get big faith then pray in the Holy Ghost. Loud! Go somewhere where no one can hear you and get that prayer language to break for with boldness. I've got loud, bold tongues. All kinds of languages rifle thru me like you would not believe. Once you get this bold breakthrough then you'll learn how to flow in it and you won't need to be so loud cuz you'll cruise right along. In fact I pray in tongues under my breath now. However, I owe a debt of gratitude to a loud bold tongue talker way back when I was new in all this. Once ya got it, you'll never lose it. Never.
Tongues really does build up faith
You are right. There is Jude 20 but if anyone questions the exegesis they should try boldly speaking in tongues for some time and just see how faith gets stronger through it, especially for things that pertain to the supernatural of God like healing and deliverance.
Faith comes where sight
Faith comes where sight fails. To say you desire to see that you may believe will hinder the very faith you seek. What is the nature of your 'problematic situation'? God sees us THROUGH many of them, and DELIVERS us from others.
Get in the Word of God and stay in it. That is where faith will come from. It will not come from looking at our surroundings and placing them above the Word of God.
I was in a fiery furnace for years, with no visible hope in sight. Yet, my wife and I believed, then came our miracle. www.perfectinglove.com/ourstory
"Father, I pray for Jon that you would strengthen their heart at this time. Deliver him from the doubts that plague him and help him to simply 'know' that you are God. Help them to find their place in you and be saved. You alone are real God, all else we see are mere shadows. In Jesus' name, amen."
If you remain faithful to God, He will deliver you in due season. Do not let the devil steal your trust in God with his endless doubts.
Blessings and Peace,
Timothy
Thank God for this!!
Thank you so much for writing this article on faith. This has inspired me so much to walk by faith and not by sight. Many times in the past, I would feel discouraged but what a great reminder through this message that ALL things are possible through Christ who strengths us!! My way has already been paved for me through FAITH. Through FAITH I will receive my acceptance letter into nursing school! Praise be to our Heavenly Father who loves us more than any Earthly parent could ever imagine! God is good, All glory be to his name!
My faith to God : )
i want to start by saying that in the past i never really had much faith in God, but God didn't give up on me, and he led me to his Faith. He didn't stop believing in me, even when i stopped believing in myself. Now, i'm so proud to say that i have tremendous faith in God, I Love you God, i truly believe that everything has happened to me for a reason, i accept that and appreciate everything. I prayed with so much faith, and you answered me. You always have you understand how much i love you, and you understand me. You healed my mommy from her Diabetes. I know you did it Lord. I Love you. God has blessed us. : )
Thank God For You!!!!
I really don't know where to begin except to say that God has truly blessed you.....I happened upon this truly by the hand of God!!!!!
As God dealt with me this morning concerning faith, I began searching the net reading what ever I could on the subject, I searched the Hebrew and the Greek looking for a complex answer, looking for a good excuse for lack of......But the God we serve is all knowing, he led me here and what I got from here broke me down.......I thank God for using you, for giving you the words that I needed to hear this morning. From THIS day, I will walk out on and in Faith.
Again, I have been deeply blessed and I want to thank God for using you, and thank you for being obedient to him.....May God continue to use and bless you, as you continue to move on his word faithfully.
One thing I know......we have to stand on his word......God Bless You!

I wish to thank GOD for using you to present about the subject of faith in a clear and understandable manner like you did. This explained many mysteries I had pertaining to faith in my christian walk. I liked the rich scriptures you gave to support your explanantions and may the one and only GOD truly bless you!!!
loving this!!!
THANK YOU WHOEVER WROTE THIS!
THIS IS EXACLY WHAT I NEEDED TO HEAR...THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING ARTICLE I HAVE READ ( IF NOT THE BEST).
I WILL WORK ON MY FAITH, I WILL BELIEVE EVEN THROUGH TOUGH TIMES AND PERSECUTIONS.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
god is showing me that i need to trust him more
I first want to say thanks for this article. I recently came back to Christ and he has been working in me, thru me, and for me, altogether. On different occasions he told me to do things and i allowed self and pride to get in the way of me doing it, also doubt, i kept wondering could God have really told me to do that. I struggled a whole lot with this, and the worst part of it is when i fail to do what he told me to do, i jus feel stupid at the end of it all. But he is merciful and kind and definately a God of second and even sometimes third chances or as much chances as i need at times. I was in a relationship before coming back to christ, it was a very complicated one too and the odds where definately against me, but God has started to work it out for my good jus like his word says he will do. Now God is trying to build my faith in him, because i have been praying to God that my partner would come to church and the devil had me like a fool, kept telling me that he was not ready to come to church and maybe god wasn't ready to bring him and stupid me believed it, thinking it was the right thing to do, to jus hope that god would bring him one day. But God showed me that not only was i being disobedient, my faith was weak. Because God is always ready but the question is was I ready?, Did I trust him enough to see the things that I pray for manifested in my life. I started reading the word of God and reading it in the first person as if it was written directly to me. And I am believeing God that my partner will not only come to church but he will come this Sunday. I have played with God long enough and it is time for me to trust him with this, because not only is "he willing he is also able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that i could ever as or think of him". I thank God for what he has already done and for what he is getting ready to do as well. Thank u Jesus, and thanks for this site. Be Blessed everyone.
Thank you!
I have taken notes on this site and have made it a favorite. This is such a clear explanation on the subject of Faith.... I never expected to find it. Thank you all may God bless you all for this.
I am ready to let God take over my life
My life has been going up and down. My childhood was not one to bragg about and God got me through it. God has blessed me numerous times and I am greatful for all HIS blessings...Lately, I am going through relationship problems and all I can ask is, why God, why? Asking why was a sign that I was loosing faith. I cried myself to sleep almost everynight, I lost a lot of weight over the stress. By now, I have stop trusting GOD ways of bring us through our stroms. Finding this web site not only is helping me come closer to GOD but to put all my trust in God that this situation that I am facing will come to pass and that my prayers is already answer for I have trust in GOD and that HE already answered my prayers. Thanks to the person who created this site and thanks to everyone you left their comments thus far. Reading comments from others is also helping me to build my faith.
Reply to: 'I am ready to let god take over my life'
When I read what you wrote it was like I could have been writing it. I am going through the same things right now, terrible problems with my relationship and the realisation that my faith in God had faded and needed restoring. I have prayed to God for his help and am trying my upmost to keep the faith that he has answered me and everything will be ok and have prayed that he helps me in my faith to truely believe this, even when it appears that worst could happen, I am fighting to keep believing he will help me through it like he has in the past. I don't want to doubt him in any way and know I have to keep believing that he will resolve everything, even when all I want to do is break down and cry and admit defeat. I just hope he realises that I am trying to truely believe he has answered me and the only times I may have any slight doubt is when I get scared of the alternative and have faith that he does perform miracles, which is exactly what I need to get through this.
This site certainly helped in answering a lot of questions I had, I just pray that I can beleieve 100%, without any doubt, or am scared that my prayers won't be answered. And I want my relationship with God back also, like how it used to be. I as so busy charging through life that I sometimes forgot he was there and I forgot how much he has helped me throughout my life, through some unbearable times and am realising that I need him there and am praying he can help fully restore my faith.
