Faithis a spiritual force that grows and develops in the heart or spirit of a man. Romans 10:17 says, " Faith comes by hearing, and by hearing the word of God."
This means tat faith originates with the word of God. Faith is not in ourselves. If faith is in ourselves, faith will be weak. Faith is not with apostles but faith originates with God. The more we look at God's word, look to God, the more we will have faith. What does this mean to you?
This means, spontaneously, naturally faith comes.
Only when the hearts of people are focussed on the word of God that faith would thrive and work wonders.
The heart of a man is overtaken by other thoughts that ordinarily should not compete for space with God who owns everything including our hearts.
"There is a conflict between light and darkness in our hearts"
For example what are many saying, "when will church close today? I want to go and rest... etc." You keep talking to yourself.
All this is going on in our hearts. All that you are saying uin your heart has got nothing to do with God. God cannot be a tenant in your heart.
He should take over your heart. In the same heart fait needs to be developed but alot of things are going on there.
You need time to be in attitude of prayer all the time. A break in prayer is a break with God.
Life is always about falling and rising. In falling there is always a lesson that will be to the advantage of the person. Christians' faith in God is usually tested to see if they can handle the coming glory.
MAY THE SOVEREIGN LORD BE WITH YOU ALWAYS, BLESSED ARE YOU WHO RECEIVES THE WORD IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
Amen.
"Who has believed our message?
To whom has the Lord revealed his
powerful arm?" Isaiah 53:1
