Faith to Receive the Promises of God

 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)

DEVOTIONAL:

Faith to Receive the Promises of God

There was a man in the book of Acts, chapter 14, who the Scriptures say “never had walked: the same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked (verses 8–10).

Notice the man had faith, but he was sitting on it, probably waiting on a feeling. Faith is not a feeling nor is it a product of reason or human logic. Faith is a spiritual force coming out of your spirit (inner man) and once released, it will do the impossible.

Faith is released the moment we act on the Word.

SAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME:

Dear God, I praise You, Father, that Your Word, when spoken and released, builds faith in me to receive healing, deliverance, protection, and provision for whatever I need. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
