2nd Kings 4: 11-37
Faith work wonders. It is the absolute confidence in the presence of God. Faith works wonders. I mentioned in the first service that faith is seeing the invisible. People who have faith believe the unbelievable. This is because faith believes the incredible. Anyone who does anything significant in this world always manifest extraordinary faith.
You cannot attain much in life without faith. We are in a generation where it takes rugged faith to believe.
Benefits of Faith
We are saved by faith. There is nothing we could have done that can prevent us from being saved by faith.
Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
We live by faith. The Bible is very clear, it says the just shall live by faith.
Romans 1:17 (KJV)
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
We walk by faith. Believers are required to walk by faith as our steps are ordered. You take steps towards advancing your dreams by faith.
We please God by faith.
Hebrews 11:6
But 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.
We speak by faith.
2 Cor 4:13
We have the same spirit of faith that is described in the Scriptures when it says,
“First I believed, then I spoke in faith
Whatever you believe, faith requires that you speak it.
We act by faith.
James 2:18 (WNT)
Nay, someone will say, “You have faith, I have actions: prove to me your faith apart from corresponding actions and I will prove mine to you by my actions.
To all the faith you profess, you are required to act on that faith. The formular of faith is made completed by the act of faith in that regard. Let your faith be in God to use the act to manifest the desired.
We receive by faith.
Mark 11:24 (TPT)
This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—be convinced that you have received it and it will be yours.
