So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
It’s important to understand that your faith can’t work unless you release it. Just having faith in and of itself doesn’t do any good. You can have money in the bank and still starve to death. You can have food in the refrigerator and go hungry. You can have a coat in your closet and still go out and freeze.
Having something is no guarantee that you’re going to use it. In the same way, you have to use your faith in order for it to work!
So, how do you release your faith? First, pray according to God’s promises in His Word. Second, say what His Word says. And third, do what you believe God wants you to do based on His Word.
Pray it, say it, and do it. The more you lean on God and His Word, the more pressure you take off yourself. Faith gives you the power to trust God.
It’s because of what Christ has done for you—as a gift to you—that you can live by faith, releasing it and experiencing all He has for you.
Prayer of the Day: God, I surrender. Nothing works when I try to do it on my own. I need You. Increase my faith to trust You more. I want to pray it, say it, and do it when it comes to my faith, amen.
