*“Have faith in God ” (Mark 11:22)*


Faith is fundamental, foundational principle of the doctrine of salvation. We should have faith toward God. For everything we need to have faith. For prayer we need faith. To receive His life we need faith. Otherwise whatever we do will be a failure. That is why on many occasions the Lord said to the sick, “Thy faith hath saved thee” (Luke 7:50; 8:48; 17:19; 18:42). According to Matthew 9:2, seeing the faith of the men who carried the paralytic, the Lord healed him. It is by faith we can understand unseen things. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Heb. 11:1). The unseen things which are real cannot be understood by the visible. However clever we may be, they are mysteries to us, but by faith we can understand the heavenly mysteries and unseen things. By faith our prayers are answered. By faith we enjoy His power. By faith we obey the Lord and follow Him.

Our spiritual life is lived by faith. By faith we bind Satan. By faith we claim the promises of God. It is by faith that we can have eternal life. That is why repentance and faith go together. Those who have no faith cannot grow spiritually. *Many preachers have no faith. Even though they hold big meetings and campaigns, yet when they want money they start begging. That is where they go wrong. They have so many schemes and devices to get money. When they plan to have Gospel campaigns they start writing letters and go on giving hints for money for many months*. That is not by faith. By having a living and strong faith in our Lord we can enjoy His perfect peace and have all our needs met. Thus we see how faith is the fundamental and foundational principle of prayer life, Bible study or any other service.

Please Share.
🙏 Praise the LORD🙏

I think pastors and preachers have faith its just people nowadays are very unwilling to give. The church i go to has 4 services a day, in every service they ask for offerings and donations. Its hard to say no for me personally, i give when i can, but there are a lot of people that dont like to give to church, i would say that most people in the church i go to are faithful tithers. Well at least i hope so and it is preached often.

I would say have faith in God coming from hearing God .then we can offer it towards Him . He must do the first works causing us to repent. Its his faith that works in us to both will and do His good pleasure . We defend that faith that works in us to defend His seed . Like armor we put it on an keep it on. He is the rear guard no armor for that.
