Faith Teaching

 

Faith Teaching

 

Our faith can grow exceedingly (2 Thessalonians 1:3).

 

Faith and patience work together (2 Thessalonians 1:4). It takes faith and patience to inherit the promises of God (Hebrews 6:12).

 

Fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12). Faith is a fight, but also a rest.

 

To enter our promised land and Sabbath rest, the preaching of the Word must be mixed with faith to those who hear it (Hebrews 4:2).

 

Hold fast the profession of your faith without wavering back and forth (Hebrews 10:23).


The trying or testing of your faith works patience. Let patience have her perfect work so that you may be entire, mature and complete, lacking nothing (James 1:3-4).

 

If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God and ask in faith, not wavering like the waves of the sea, and wisdom will be given to him (James 1:5-6).

 

The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up (James 5:15).

 

Faith can stand under trial. That the trial of your faith, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus (1 Peter 1:7).

 

Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls (1 Peter 1:9).

 

Our [My] faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4).

 

One way to build up your faith is by praying in the Holy Ghost (in tongues) — Jude 20.

 

Faith involves “saying” in Mark 11:23, and saying (epo 2036) is PAST TENSE in the Greek meaning “to speak or say (by word or writing)”. Faith speaks as if you already have the answer or miracle in your hands.

 

When we say what we believe, we release our faith to go to work on our behalf (Mark 11:23-24).

 

The spirit of faith never says “it’s coming”. It says “it’s here, I have it right now”. It believes it’s already received the promise or answer. If it is here, I begin to make preparation for what’s here like it is here.

 

Faith has to be in two places: 1) in your heart 2) in your mouth. This is how salvation works (Romans 10:9-10).

 

What are you to do while waiting for the promise (and you’ve taken action)—employ the power twins: 1. Confidence (faith) and 2. Patience (Hebrews 6:12, 10:36).

 

We must stand still and let the force of patience do a thorough work so that we may be fully developed, lacking in nothing.

 

You cannot claim what is not in your heart and expect it to come to pass. Faith involves no doubt in the heart.

 

Dance and rejoice in advance before the manifestation of the promise. This shows you have faith in God.

 

Faith is active when you walk in love.

 

You cannot mistreat people and have working faith.

 

Faith works in an obedient heart.

 

For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry (it will not be late). Habakkuk 2:3

 

Faith does not work in an unforgiving heart. Unforgiveness shuts the door to the blessings of God.

 

Faith is activated, energized, expressed and works through love (Galations 5:6 Amplified).

 

Faith is a spiritual force which comes by hearing the preaching of the Word of God.

 

Faith hears, sees, speaks, believes, receives (takes, possesses), fights (the good fight of faith).

 

Mark 11:23 says “Whosoever”—from the top to the lowest spectrum of the scale. Faith will work for anyone.

 

Faith obtains your victory (1 John 5:4).

 

Faith is walking out the plan of God as God reveals it to us, step by step, and it takes steadfast endurance.

 

Faith hears the Word, acts on the Word, and holds fast to the Word.

 

Unbelief will shut the doors on the promises of God.

 

Faith does not deny facts, but faith changes facts.

 

Faith in you will create an expectation to change your situation.

 

Faith in the Word of God will always give you hope for the future.

 

Faith will empower you to continue to pursue the thing that you are hoping for.

 

Faith perceives as real fact what is not revealed to the senses (Hebrews 11:1, AMP). Faith sees the end result.

 

Faith works in every area of your life.

 

The good news of the Gospel manifests the power of God when it is believed and acted on.

 

When God speaks a thing, He always speaks a proceeding word, a word for advancement with some good. Therefore, it is no longer if it comes, but when it comes. For the promise shall surely come.

 

Having faith does not mean you won’t have trouble. Faith will bring you out of trouble. “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivers him out of them all” (Psalms 34:19).

 

Faith is the beginning or starting point of your turnaround (Mark 11:22-24).

 

Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23).

 

Believe you receive in the faith realm, and you shall have it in the natural realm.

 

Faith is a rest. When you are not at rest you are not in faith.

 

Faith expects it to happen (whatever it is you are believing for).

 

God wired us for faith and not fear. Faith propels us forward, but fear paralyzes.

 

Faith is not a struggle. It is a rest.

 

When you are truly in faith, you are at rest. You trust God.

 

Faith is not always knowing what the future holds, but knowing who holds the future.

 

Fear shuts down faith; and faith is what keeps us connected with God. 

 

As a rule, God does not perform supernaturally what we have the power to do for ourselves. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

 

You can make faith confessions for a hundred years but your faith simply won’t work in an atmosphere of unforgiveness. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

 

Jesus did not teach Mark 11:23 “he shall have whatsoever he believeth”; He taught “he shall have whatsoever he SAITH.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

 

Faith and the Word attack problems at the root (spirit realm). Don’t try to solve problems at the level of the leaves (natural realm). Dr. Bill Winston

 

Faith is a law (Romans 3:27). The law of the Old Testament was the Law of Works. In the New Covenant, we are living under the Law of Faith and Grace.

 

A lot of Christians fail to understand that faith is a definite, purposeful act of the HEART. It is not a mental exercise. Kenneth Copeland

 

Faith first takes the promise, and then possesses the promise.

 

Your faith can move mountains, and your doubt can create them.

 

If you can accomplish your dreams in your own strength, your dreams are too small! Faith in God will bring your dreams to pass.

 

God will open the door, but you still have to walk through it. Never let fear keep you from going where your faith is trying to take you.

 

There is no limit to what God can do! Just believe and have faith.

 

It is your responsibility to speak to the mountain (problem, obstacle) in your life (not the responsibility of a prophet, pastor or spiritual leaders).

 

If you don’t speak to your mountain, and tell it to get out of your way, it will speak to you.

 

Put fear and doubt behind you. God can do the impossible if you just believe.

 

You have to learn to be the prophet over your own life. Speak and decree what you would like to see happen. Call it into existence.

 

Jesus said in John 14:14, “If you ask anything in My Name, I will do it.”

 

Whose report will you believe? The medical report may be true, but it is subject to change with faith, and believing that God’s Word is true. He heals today.

 

Jesus said in Mark 11:24, “What things so ever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.”

 

Speak things into existence, calling those things which are not as though they already were. God has created us to be speaking spirits like He is.

 

Choose faith over worry.

 

Where there is faith, miracles happen.

 

Your faith increases as you receive more revelation of God’s Word. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

 

Faith comes from past victories that God has done for you, and answered prayers.

 

Abraham did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God; but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God. Being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised.

 

God never gives you a dream that matches your budget. He’s not checking your bank account, He’s checking your faith. He is your Supplier.

 

Make room. God is enlarging your territory. 1 Chronicles 4:10

 

Let faith be bigger than your fear.

 

Your faith grows as you use it.

 

Your faith cannot live without hope! Hebrews 11:1

 

When your hope dies, your faith will soon follow! Hope is the lighthouse for faith!

 

When it’s time for you to get up from a situation, you will get up!

 

It’s believing and saying that causes things to come to pass. It’s believing and saying that causes us to increase.

 

Faith gives substance to your hope.

 

Faith is a rest, not a striving. Faith is leaning on Him.

 

When you forgive, your faith will produce results and move mountains for you. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

 

Believe it in your heart; say it with your mouth. That is the principle of faith. You can have what you say. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

 

Hope says, “I'll have it sometime”, faith says, “I have it now.” Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

 

Faith has to be fed and exercised for it to grow. And that takes time. So just begin where you are. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

 

If you've been in the habit of worrying, get in the habit of faith instead. Kenneth E. Hagin, Sr.

 

Your future increase is in direction proportion to your faith. Dr. Jesse Duplantis

Prepare for the promises of God! Put works to your faith and watch God bring it to pass. Paula White-Cain

 

Love is the first fruit of the Spirit (Galations 5:22-23). All the other fruits, including faith, are derived from love.

 

Until love is working in your life, spiritual gifts will not flow out of an impure stream (1 Corinthians 12:31 AMP). Bishop Christopher Carl Smith

 

Faith begins where the will of God is known. Kenneth Copeland

 

Words of faith are the currency of God’s kingdom. Terri Copeland Pearsons

 

Worry ends when faith begins.

 

God always gets involved with our words of faith. Terri Copeland Pearsons

Get your expectation going in the right direction! Expect to succeed. Expect to live debt free. Line up your expectations with God's WORD. Pastor George Pearsons

 

Rejoice right now, release your faith and declare out loud: “I walk by faith and not by fear. I believe God's WORD. I expect the very best. I expect to succeed and not fail. I expect to win and not lose. I expect my future to work out perfectly. I am headed up and not down. I am going over and not under. This situation is turning to my salvation, in Jesus' mighty Name, Amen!” Pastor George Pearsons

Faith has a beginning and faith has an end. Joy unspeakable and full of glory is the bridge between believing and receiving (1 Peter 1:8-9). Mark Hankins

 

Your faith has a beginning, a middle, and an end. In the middle of a faith fight, you have to tell the devil how it is going to turn out. Jesus is the Author and Finisher of your faith. Your situation may look bad right now, but everything is going to turn out alright! Mark Hankins

 

When you go through a trial, the joy of the Lord neutralizes the pressure. Mark Hankins

 

You’ve heard the phrase, “You are what you eat.” Well, the same is true in the spiritual realm. You must feed your spirit “faith food” in order for it to be strong. God’s Word is our food, and it contains the proper nutrients for building a strong spirit. It is our primary source of spiritual strength. Gloria Copeland

 

Hebrews 11:2 says, “For by it (faith) the elders obtained a good report.” Faith always has a good report. John Osteen

 “Thank you” is the password to access God’s goodness and power. Jonathan Osteen

 

Faith believes God under pressure. Gloria Copeland

 

When you’re facing a challenging situation, there is a very important way to get out of it: Don’t Complain. When you murmur, you begin to talk unbelief—and you’re not giving the Lord any place to work. So, don’t murmur in your tent like they did in Deuteronomy 1:27. Don’t speak anything different than what God says. You are precious to God. He has a tremendous investment in you. Give Him room to work. Gloria Copeland

 

“Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has already forgiven you.”

 

There’s no such thing as an overnight success in the kingdom of God! Real strength and real growth come as you consistently keep the Word before your eyes, in your ears and in the midst of your heart. Not just when you want to or when you feel like it, but constantly, like the seed, a little all the time. Gloria Copeland

 

Faith has no expiration date. Just keep on believing God.

 

Our faith can be perfected. Jesus is the perfecter of our faith. Hebrews 12:2

 

How do you know you're in God's will, God's timing, and God's plan for your life? You will have peace, God will send people to help you, it will be easy, and there will be no sorrow.

 

Faith opens the door. Fear and unbelief shuts it down. Lynne Hammond

 

If we can believe for it, God can bring it to pass. Gloria Copeland
