CHAPTER 10 📖 of Walking by Faith by Kenneth E. Hagin
“If we find ourselves at the bottom of life's ladder, it is because that is all we have believed for. When we talk and believe right, we will climb to the top.”
As I went through this chapter, I learned four important steps to faith, and this chapter really reminded me that faith requires our participation. There is a God-ward side and a man-ward side to everything we receive from God. We have our part to play.
STEP 1: SAY IT 🗣️
There is a God-ward side and a man-ward side to every battle, every victory, and everything else we receive from God. We have our part to play. There is something we must do.
God will not fail. If there is any failure, it is on our part. However, if we do our part, we can be sure there will be an answer and a victory.
STEP 2: DO IT 🚶♀️
Our actions either defeat us or put us over. According to our actions, we either receive or are kept from receiving.
STEP 3: RECEIVE IT 🙌
Most people want the feeling and the healing first, and then they think they will have the saying and the doing. But it doesn't work that way.
You have to have the saying and the doing first. Then you will have the feeling and the healing.
Remember the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25–34. She confessed her faith, then acted upon that faith by reaching out and touching the Master. Then she received her healing. She felt in her body that she was healed of the plague.
STEP 4: TELL IT 📢
We have to say some things in faith before we ever receive them from God.
People say the wrong thing because they believe the wrong thing. When they start believing and saying the right thing, that is what they will have.
This chapter really taught me that faith involves saying, doing, receiving, and telling. What we believe affects what we say, and what we say must be backed up by corresponding action.
Another chapter, another lesson learned. ❤️📖
