The apostle Paul said that: “The just shall live by faith” (Gal 3:11b; NKJV) and that he lived his life by faith in Jesus (Gal 2:20b). The writer of Hebrews made our need of faith quite clear when he said, “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Heb 11:6; NKJV). Faith is having absolute trust and confidence in God (2 Tim 3:15; AMP). In Hebrews we read that, Faith is “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Heb 11:2; ESV). Jesus taught us that when we pray, when we speak our requests, we must believe that we receive what we ask for, even though we may not see the tangible manifestation immediately (Mark 11:22-24). This manifestation may take time to occur and we will need to mix patience with our faith (Heb 6:12). I like to think of faith as knowing that we know, that we know that God’s promises to us are always yes and amen (2 Cor 1:20) and will come to pass. In the epistle of James, we are told that there is no room for doubting, we must be consistent in faith, the “double minded man” will not “receive anything from the Lord” (James 1:6-8; NKJV). God has given us all a “measure of faith” (Rom 12:3b; NKJV). We can grow and develop that faith by studying God’s word in our Bibles (Rom 10:17) and “praying in the Holy Spirit” (Jude 1:20; NKJV); that is praying as directed by the Holy Spirit and in tongues. Let’s all strive to be powerful faith-filled Christians.
