THE POWER OF FAITH
Faith is the greatest force in the kingdom of God. It is the currency of heaven and the language that God understands. Without faith, no man can walk with God or receive anything from Him. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:6, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Faith is therefore not optional for the believer, it is essential.
What is faith? Hebrews 11:1 gives us the definition. It says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is giving substance to your hope. It is believing the Word of God even when your physical eyes cannot see it. It is calling those things which be not as though they were, as Romans 4:17 says. Faith does not deny the existence of the mountain, but it declares that the mountain will move.
The power of faith is seen in its ability to move mountains. Jesus said in Matthew 17:20, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Faith can move the mountains of sickness, barrenness, poverty, failure, and stagnation. No mountain can stand before a man of faith. In Mark 11:23, Jesus said, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." Faith speaks and it comes to pass.
Faith also has the power to please God and to bring the supernatural into the natural. Throughout the Bible, every man who did exploits for God did it by faith. By faith Noah built an ark, by faith Abraham left his father's house to a land he did not know, by faith Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, by faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days. All these are recorded in Hebrews 11. The woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:34 received her healing by faith when Jesus said to her, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague." Her faith pulled healing from Jesus.
For us as believers and as soul winners, we need faith to do the work of God. We need faith to believe that souls will be saved, that the sick will be healed, and that signs and wonders will follow us as Mark 16:17 says. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world, as 1 John 5:4 says, "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." When your faith is strong, your victory is sure.
In conclusion, the power of faith cannot be overemphasized. Faith turns impossibilities into possibilities. Faith turns a nobody into somebody. Faith can take a man from the pit to the palace like Joseph. As believers, we must build our faith by hearing the Word of God, because Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." We must also put our faith to work, because James 2:17 says, "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." Let us arise in faith in this season and we shall see the power of God move mountains on our behalf. For all things are possible to him that believeth as Mark 9:23 declares.
