CULTIVATING THE GOD KIND OF FAITH

This is the positive faith and there is negative faith. Both come by the same means-by what we listen to and believe.

I want to examine another reason why our prayers may fail to work. It may be because we often have the wrong kind of faith. I didn’t say that we lack faith. I said we have the wrong kind of faith. Understanding the different kinds of faith, and how faith functions, are key preparations for prayer.

1. Everyone Lives by Faith

2. What is Faith?

3. The Word of Faith

4. Have the God kind of Faith

5. God’ Faith Comes by His Word

6. Planted By the word

7. Living In Reality

Principles

1. Unanswered prayer has more to do with having the wrong kind of faith than a lack of faith.

2. Men women were created in God’s image to operate in the same way He does—through words of faith.

3. Faith is active belief. It is a point of action or belief combined with expectation.

4. ” The word is near you: it is in your mouth and in your heart”. (Romans 10:8). There is positive faith and there is negative faith, and both come by the same means. They come by what we listen to and what we believe.

5. God sometimes doesn’t answer our prayer because He understands how powerful the principle of faith is and knows that what we’re asking for wouldn’t be good for us.

6. What you say is a reflection of what is in your heart—of what you believe. What you keep saying the most is what you will receive.

7. Paul said that the word of faith he wanted to plant in believes’ hearts was the one he was preaching—the one he was preaching—the one given by God. (Romans 10:8) This is the faith we are to have.

8. The literal translation of Jesus’ statement, “Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22) is, “Have the God kind of faith”.

9. The God kind of faith comes from hearing the Word.

10. A constant diet of the Word of God will nourish your heart. When you experience trouble, it will be the Word that comes out of your mouth, and you will create what the Word says.

11. If you confess and hold on to God’s truth, you will not be made ashamed. He will answer. When you stay connected to the Word of God you will bear fruit in season.

12. To keep believing, you must be planted. Plant yourself in a place where the Word is prevalent and the people around you are continually speaking and living it.

CONCLUSION

Unanswered prayer can have more to do with our having the wrong kind of faith than a lack of faith. There is positive faith and negative faith, and both come by the same means. The come by what we listen to and

Believe. The God kind of faith comes from hearing God’s Word—listening to it; and believing it.
