The process of faith is just like one link connecting to another link. If there is a continuous connection, the chain will be complete, and the whole process of faith is complete. When there's a disconnection, everything breaks down.
Let's explore further =) FAITH is..
1) HEARING the Word
Faith comes when you hear the rhema (the spoken word) from God Himself in heaven. To be a man or woman of faith, you must be SENSITIVE to the voice of God.
2) DESIRING the Word
This is very true. It is relevant for us today.
God wants you to desire that which is in His heart. And God wants to give you the desire of your heart. That means that your will should be the same as His. For that to happen, you MUST HAVE a personal relationship with God.
3) PRAYING the Word
Faith is a spirit, or an attitude that never gives up! Keep asking until something happens! =)
4) BELIEVING OR DECIDING ON the Word
The word "believe" is used more than 250 times in the New Testament. Do you know how important that is?
The word "believes" is in the CONTINUOUS & REPEATED tense. Faith is the process of believing OVER & OVER again until you get the miracle you need.
What does it mean to "believe" the Word? To believe means to make a DECISION to commit to the Word, the vision you heard from God.
Be sure you know what you want. If you desire a miracle from God, you need to make a DECISION to really go after it by faith. DON'T REASON ANYTHING IN YOUR MINDS!
By believing, you're making a decision & a commitment. You're activating your WILL.
5) RECEIVING the Word.
6) SEEING the Word.
When you receive the Word in your heart, you are activating the power of your imagination.
If I can see it, I can have it! If I can't see it inside my imagination, I can never have it!
You need to spend time visualizing success in order to gear ourselves towards success! at least 15 MINUTES a day.
7) SPEAKING OR CONFESSING the Word.
"Confession" in Greek text is the word homologeo, which means "saying the same as God's Word to you". To confess is to therefore keep speaking out the word that God has given to you.
8) ACTING ON the Word.
We must do what the Word says. Faith is a fact but faith is always an act!
