Understanding faith.

“That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.”                Mark 4:12(KJV)

If you want to move from hearing the Word of God to doing the Word of God, you must understand what you are being taught. This is because if you lack understanding of the Word of God, there will be no faith in your heart. Faith is based on clarity and accurate truth. So, when I understand the Word of God, faith is ministered to me.

You must understand that as a child of God, when you speak any word of faith, it kills anything from the root. For instance, if you are sick in your body and you use drugs, you are only treating the symptoms; you are not treating the cause. But when you use the Word of God against that challenge, you are dealing with the root cause of the problem. The Word of God has the ability to destroy every kind of sickness and disease and it destroys every work of the devil.

It took Abraham twenty five years to have a child that he could have had in one year. It took Abraham that long for his faith to take a hold of what God had already given him. When Mary in Luke 1:35 and 38 released her faith according to the Word of God spoken to her from the angel Gabriel, immediately she conceived. She said in Luke 1:38, “…be it unto me according to thy word …” She understood the sufficiency of God. She asked initially in Luke 1:34, “…How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? ...” and the angel answered and said to her in Luke 1:35, “… The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.” That is the same answer God gives to everyone who is asking, “How shall these things be?”

Just believe the Word of God and there shall be a performance of those things which have been spoken to you by the Lord according to Luke 1:45.

Prayer
Dear Father I thank you for giving me understanding of your Word to the dynamics of faith and what to do in other to put the Word of God to work in my life, as I practically release my faith and take a hold of what you have already given unto me in your Word, it shall be unto me according to your Word in Jesus Name. Amen.
