“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17
Faith does not come simply by hearing just anything but rather by hearing God’s Word and believing that Word.
If you want to build your faith in God, the only way to do it is by hearing His Word. God’s Word has the power to go forth and accomplish His purposes in your life. It builds faith that gives life to your dreams, gives strength to your body, and builds a hedge of protection that brings you peace of mind.
God’s Word gives you faith that as you confront what look like mountains of impossibility, whether it’s a financial or spiritual or physical impossibility, you can say to that mountain, “Be removed and cast into the midst of the sea.” It gives you strength to take the next step when you think the hill is too hard to climb.
God’s Word builds the kind of faith that says,“I may be pressed on every side, but if God is for me, who can be against me?”
“The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed.” (Acts 14:9) Paul being drawn to this man by the Holy Spirit, because the man apparently believe what he heard Paul saying about Christ; evidently Paul referred to Christ in his Message, not only as the Saviour; but the Healer as well.
That kind of faith comes when you hear the Word of God and receive it into your heart. Hearing the Word of God gives you the kind of faith to look at the world, the flesh and the devil today and declare that you are more than a conqueror through Christ!
LET’S PRAY.
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the victory of the Cross of Christ on Calvary. Thank You for faith that overcomes the world. Now Lord, bless us and keep us. Give Your angels charge over us. Go before us and behind us. Let Your goodness and mercy follow us all the days of our lives. Give us a special sense of Your abiding peace, love and joy this week to know that You will never leave us nor forsake us and that Your plans, O Lord, are to prosper us and give us good success in Jesus’ glorious name. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain to your life.
