Faith: You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means...


Deciding you want something, then hunting for a few bible verses to go with it, is not #Faith. That's wishing hard. 


So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.English Standard Version |Romans 10:17

Faith doesn't come by reading.

Faith comes ONLY by hearing.

Knowing you have a need is not the start.

Don't say: "I need money. God I'm believing you for money... and here are three verse to back up my request."

That prayer seldom works.

Rather: "God I need money. You knew that already. Now. What do you want to talk about today?"

Then listen.

Even if He doesn't want to talk about your "money problem". Respond to whatever He says.

Faith begins where the will of God is known. Faith ONLY operates as a response to a Word you Heard. 

If you didn't hear a word, there is nothing to respond to, Faith doesn't exist yet.
