Summary

Reading these scriptures we see the loving heart of the Father displayed in Jesus who was clearly willing people to operate in faith, so that they could receive all that God had for them. For Jesus said with God all things are possible, by speaking God’s words we can operate in the faith of God. The faith of God is the type of faith that speaks and the sees the product of those words. Faith comes from hearing the words of Jesus and filling your heart with them. This is important because without faith it is impossible to do the things that please God. The faith of God is available to anyone, it comes from hearing the words that Jesus said. The God king of faith is believing you receive something before you see it. It is not natural human faith the believes what it can see and touch with physical senses. Jesus did not applaud that kind of ‘faith’ unbelief.

Faith is put into action by believing in your heart and speaking it out through your mouth. Faith release the power of God Through faith you receive all of Gods blessings.
