The Faith of Abraham Part VIII
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. God’s Words are vehicles for faith. When we receive God’s Word as truth, when we believe that the Word of God is truly His Word, then our hearts are receptive to His faith. If we question the Word of God, then our hearts are closed to His truths. We must first decide to believe God’s Word and that it is inspired by Him. If we open our hearts to his truth, then the spirit and life that are in His Word takes root in our hearts. His Spirit living in our spirits. Faith comes by receiving into our spirit man the Word of God as truth. When we do this, things in our spirit man will change.
God has given us His faith. It’s His faith and His faith works. If we use His faith like He does, we will get the same results. Jesus said so in Mark 11:22-26. Jesus said have the faith of God (and if He said to do so, we can). If we do, then we can say to the mountain (obstacle, problem, sickness, curse) be removed and cast into the sea. If we don’t doubt in our hearts, but believe what we say will come to pass, we would have what we say. He said we can have what we say, if we say what we have in our hearts.
This is the same faith that Abraham developed. For 24 years Abram has a promise from God, but when Abraham began to call himself what God had called him everything changed. When Abraham said what God said, it was a matter of months before he inherited the promise of a child from God. When he got his mouth and his words right the promises came to pass.
