what Faith is, or how it is used. I am going to post a few examples of the biblical context for receive.
Jesus Heals at Peter's House
…16When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17This wasto fulfillwhatwas spokenthroughtheprophetIsaiah:“He took onourinfirmities,andcarriedourdiseases.” 18When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side.…
The Ministry of the Twelve
…7As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8Healthe sick,raisethe dead,cleansethe lepers,drive outdemons.Freelyyou have received;freelygive. 9Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.…
Now I posted the verses that use this word on the subject of healing. but it is used in the same manner when receiving anything from the Father. It gives and the context of a motion from the receiver, an action associated with the anticipation of coming into and taking hold of the thing to receive.
And forgive me but the best way to describe this is with football to me… a quarterback has the ball, the play is set and the receiver has a path he has been given to run out in anticipation of receiving the ball. He runs his path and looks back, waiting to see the ball coming, and once he has it, he gives his all to take it to the end of his run.
Now to my main point, WoF is not about how others have a lack of faith or more faith, or even that faith can be measured in a way like that. But that 1.) faith must be seen or heard 2.) faith must be received and 3.) it must be realeased.
To start, to see or hear.
The Word Brings Salvation
…13for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” 14Howthencan they callonthe Onethey have not believed in?Andhowcan they believe in the Oneof whomthey have not heard?Andhowcan they hearwithoutsomeone to preach? 15And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”…

191 akoúō – properly, to hear (listen); (figuratively) to hear God's voice which prompts Him to birth faith within (cf. Ro 10:17). See 189 (akoē).
[191 (akoúō) is the root of the English term, "acoustics."]
Now this aspect shows that faith is born of the word of God being received, Faith is born on any subject of God, out of deep reflection in the word, on the subject. But that I not where faith ends.

Hebrews 11:1-3King James Version (KJV)
11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]For by it the elders obtained a good report.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Faith is the unwavering conviction that everything in the word of God is as it is said. There is no compromise to it, that God said it, I believe it, that settles it. If He says I am save by grace, that settles that, if He says I am free in Him and a slave to righteousness, that settles it, if He says I am Healed of ALL things, that settles it.
But so the question is, why then are people with faith, not healed, why can thousands pray for one person and they die! I will be bold enough to say it is not just about having faith but releasing it!
Faith, must be released through action, through the Christian work.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

To finish this point to bring it home, Faith, without action is dead. We believing being moved by emotion and feeling into saying oh that can’t be true, God doesn’t heal like that. Or no I am not worthy. I don’t have enough faith. Brothers and sister, it is not that, again to foot ball, we give up to soon, we don’t expect it. If we only knew, the QB was just fighting for a chance to throw the ball, and by the time he had it in the air, we had already given up, and stopped looking back. Its not about a lack, but giving up on a conviction to soon, and accepting, the lie that God doesn’t do those things. Stand not on the opinion of man but the word of God.
