What is Faith?

Before we dig into how to build your Faith, I would like to take a few minutes to first explain what is Faith. Most of us understand what the word Faith means by definition, but truly we don’t grasp what it means to have total and complete faith in God. Faith is complete trust and confidence in God without any doubt. Having total faith in God is knowing, that situations will work out. Knowing without doubt that what we believe or pray will happen. Hebrews 11:1 teaches us that faith is the confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. It is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6). For if we do not have faith in God, how can he answer our prayers? How can he work in our lives?

The Word of God

Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). Each time we pick up our Bible to read, we are building our faith in God. Hearing the inspired words of God through a minister or prophet is also means of building our faith. When we hear the word of God it provides us with direction and comfort that is needed in our lives. Only then can our faith start to grow into knowing God further. For me, my faith is also built on the spiritual experiences in my life. The moments I saw people healed, the times I felt the anointing of God consume my body or watched someone else be touched by God. These are tangible building blocks that I can hold on to, when I may feel my faith is starting to slip. Some of you may not have had the opportunity to experience spiritual events yet but if you continue to seek God and his presence you will eventually start to experience the works of his spirit. This can further lead to building your faith. As a starting point, the best way to build your faith is to spend as much time as you can engulfing yourself in the Bible and also listening to anointed people of God speak messages that God has laid on their hearts. I encourage you to also view the video messages posted on the site, they can help to build your faith by hearing words from God.
