Introduction
Faith is a force, 1 John 5:4. A force is a thing that has the capacity to enforce change, Hebrews 11:33,34. Where you see faith at work, you see change at work. Faith does not leave circumstances the way it met it, Matthew 9:29. Your lot is determined by your faith; your change is at the mercy of your faith. Mark 11:23, the change you desire is at the mercy of the faith you possess. If you want to institute change, you must ensure it by your faith. Hebrews 11:2, it is the faith they were able to bring to bear that brought their result.
What is faith?
Faith is not a beggarly force but rather a conquering force. Faith does not negotiate with situations; it determines the outcome of situations, Daniel 3:16-18; Hebrews 11:34.
Don’t take anything for granted.
Faith is not a doing force; it is a dominant force, Luke 8:24,25. Whatever you are confronted with is only questioning the position of your faith. It is through faith that we exercise our dominion. They are executed with force.
Anytime you are confronted, see it as a question on your faith.
Faith is our access to a world of unlimited possibilities. Where faith is, there is no impossibility. Faith upgrades us to divine frequency. Whatever people call a closed case is a way to possibility, John 11:39-44.
How powerful is faith?
It commits the integrity of God to make good His word. Hebrews 6:15-18. If a person anchor on God’s word, it is impossible for God to fail that person. Faith is entering into covenant dimension with God. There is no day that God will ever watch His word fall to the ground. No word ever fails in anyone’s life; it is a person’s faith that fails the word. This is why when faith rises in you with audacity, the enemy is cowered. Matthew 24:35, not a word of God will fail if a person’s faith rises to meet it.
It quenches the assaults of the enemy, Ephesians 6:16; Revelation 12:12. When your faith rises, the enemy goes into silence.
Faith is the master key to a world of unlimited possibilities. There is nothing that can be done in this world that will work. This is why faith is a necessity.
This is why faith failure is compared to heart failure by Bishop David Oyedepo.
How to keep your faith growing
Beware of an evil conscience, 1 Timothy 1:19; 3:9. Purity of conscience is what determines the power of faith. If you live by truth, you will win by truth. If you are not right with God, faith cannot work for you. It is important that our conscience is pure. 1 John 3:20,21 — when you see a person operating with confidence with God, it is because there is no skeleton in their cupboard.
Conclusion
With total faith in God, you can only win the battles of your life.
