WHAT IS FAITH

• Faith is not a philosophical fact neither is it a psychological fact. It is a spiritual force. It is a living force drawn from a living word to produce a living proof. Mathew 9:20-22{Mat 9:20 And behold, a woman, who had a flow of blood for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the hem of His garment.
Mat 9:21 for she said within herself, If only I shall touch His robe, I will be whole. Mat 9:22 But turning and seeing her, Jesus said, Daughter, be comforted; your faith has saved you. And the woman was saved from that hour. }

• Faith is not just believing God , but it is obeying God no matter what happens. Genesis 12 : 1-4 {Gen 12:1 And Jehovah said to Abram, Go out of your country, and from your kindred, and from your father's house into a land that I will show you.
Gen 12:2 And I will make you a great nation. And I will bless you and make your name great. And you shall be a blessing.
Gen 12:3 And I will bless those that bless you and curse the one who curses you. And in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Gen 12:4 And Abram departed, even as Jehovah had spoken to him. And Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. } Faith is following God no matter the outcome. Obedience is strong hold of faith. until you obey God nothing happens. Genesis 22 : 2-3 { Gen 22:2 And He said, Take now your son, your only one, Isaac, whom you love. And go into the land of Moriah, and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will name to you.
Gen 22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son. And he split the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up and went to the place of which God had told him. }

• Faith is not cheap talk, faith is hard work. Faith is an act. It goes beyond just talking , it has to do with action. Faith is not just believing God , it is also behaving the word of God.
• Faith is also reasoning with God. Faith makes you to be in class of God . Faith is seeing things the way God see things.
• Faith is a spiritual converter that converts the word of power. Romans 8:16 { Rom 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God. }
• Faith is a weapon of war. Ephesians 6:16 { Eph 6:16 Above all, take the shield of faith, with which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. } you don’t succeed by prayers only , you succeed by faith.
• Faith is a spiritual force that moves the hand of God in the midst of men.
• Faith is a spiritual channel through which a mortal man taps into the power of God.
• Faith is locating the word of God and standing on it to commit it.
