“Have faith in God.” This short simple sentence is what the whole of Christianity is based on. What do we know about faith? Let’s look at a few scriptures. "Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Heb 11:6; KJV). "The just shall LIVE by his faith" (Hab 2:4). So then, faith in God must be important, in fact, a whole chapter in the book of Hebrews (chapter 11) is devoted to people who were noted for their faith. We know that our faith is powerful and can move mountains or the challenges in our lives (Mark 11:23).

We know that we have all been given: "a measure of faith" (Rom 12:3). But we also know that we need to grow our faith. Well, how do we do that? In the Bible we read that: "faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (Rom 10:17). As we spend time in our bibles our faith will grow. As we pray in the Spirit, we also build up our faith: “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost” (Jude 20). Praying in the Spirit is Spirit led prayer, including praying in tongues.

As you go through your day think about having faith in God and use your God given authority to speak to the mountains in your life and remember that you must believe before you can receive from God (Mark 11:23).
