Our whole walk with God requires faith. If we book a ticket to fly from Saskatoon to Manchester, with our innate human faith, we don’t give another thought to the fact that our flight will land at Manchester, but yet many Christians often struggle with believing God’s word (having faith in God). As an example, when God says: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”, do his people believe (Phil 4:19; KJV)?

You know, all Christians were given a measure of faith in God when they were born again (Rom 12:3). But the bible says we need to grow our faith just like a baby needs to grow to adulthood. How do we grow our faith? In Romans 10:17 we see that: “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”. In other words, we need to be in the word, reading it to ourselves, meditating it (thinking about it, rolling it around in our mind) and getting good solid bible-based teaching. Faith also comes by praying in the Holy Spirit; either in our native tongue, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, or by praying in tongues (Jude 20).

In the Amplified Bible it has a wonderful explanation of strong faith: “through the leaning of the entire human personality on God in Christ Jesus in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom and goodness” (2 Tim 3:15; Amp). Now that’s faith and it can be ours.
