Understanding Faith and Excelling

If you were to define faith, how would you do so? Well in a nutshell, God's definition of faith in the bible, is, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The word of faith is a very important topic to all Christians; In fact, God says "It is impossible to please God without faith."

Another way to define faith is; this is what I believe and I am not going to waver until I get it. Moreover, if you look through the bible, you will see that all the great men and women God used to perform signs, wonders and miracles, operated on high level of faith.

A statement of faith is; although, you are sick in the natural but you know that in the Spiritual you are healed, and when you claim your healing by either confessing healing scriptures, saying a prayer of agreement, or just continually singing worship, praise or hymn songs; you will find out that your healing was already settled in the Spiritual according to the word of God and will manifest in the physical.

We can see this occur in our lives because when we act by saying a word of faith or a statement of faith, and put our faith to works; the almighty God will be pleased and committed to act in our favor. Let me give you another definition of faith that will shed some light on you; faith is an irresistible creative force that manifests things of the Spiritual into the natural. This scenario can be seen in how God created the heaven and the earth, and everything in it by faith; He said, "let there be light and there was light."

Although, the standard way to define faith is that seen in the bible scripture and also seen in the beginning statement of this article. A statement of faith is one which involves the "now" factor, that is, whether you say a word of faith or a prayer of faith; you must instantly believe that you have received your desires. I have heard several cases of Christians who got sick, and by faith refused to take drugs knowing that God will heal them, and He did.

God deposited a measure of faith in every human being during creation but often times; the enemy tries to rob man off this faith.

Faith is a powerful Spiritual weapon that God has given man, among other weapons, such as; love, prayer, God's word, praise, hope and more. In this present day and age , many end time churches are being taught the word of faith.

There are several ways to increase your faith in God. Let me give you a few effective ways:

1. Faith comes by hearing the word of God, either through the bible, sermons and anointed books.

2. Faith increases by hearing other peoples' testimonies of the goodness of God.

3. You can ask God to increase your faith.

4. Faith increases when you praise and thank God continually.

Now I have shared with you the various definitions of faith and how to increase your faith in God; it is time to increase your faith, put your faith to works, and experience signs, wonders and breakthroughs in your life.
