HOW DOES FAITH COME?

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

Faith is the gift that the Holy Spirit imparts to your spirit upon hearing the gospel of Yahushua HaMashiach. So faith comes primarily by hearing the Word of HaMashiach. Someone had said that the second hearing in our text is understanding; so that the text could read faith comes by hearing and understanding the word of HaMashiach without doing the text any injustice. It is not anything that you hear that gives you faith; it is hearing the word of HaMashiach. So, you must be careful of what you hear. You are absolutely responsible for what enters your ears or what you see. Some hearing imparts fear. Just as faith comes by hearing the Word of HaMashiach, fear comes by hearing the word of Satan and evil people. So guarding what you hear becomes very paramount.

The hearing that brings faith comes in these ways:

1. Reading the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. It is understanding that brings faith and it is the Holy Spirit that brings illumination to our spirits. Light from the Bible is what imparts faith in the heart of people. That was the case of Daniel in 9:2, “In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.”
2. Studying the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. In studying the scripture, you pick a particular topic or character and seek to know as much as the Word says about it. When you are through with a study, your faith is boosted in that area of the knowledge of Yahweh. (see II Timothy 2:15)
3. Meditating on the Word of Yahweh by the help of the Holy Spirit imparts faith. To meditate is to mutter, to speak to yourself the word of Yahweh. Meditation is confessing the word to yourself loudly or silently. (see Joshua 1:8)
4. Hearing the testimonies of the acts of Yahweh imparts faith. Testimonies bring faith in Yahweh into your spirit and emboldens you to trust Him for replication of that act. (see Revelation 12:11)
5. Speaking in the tongues of the Spirit imparts faith. Jude 1:20 (NET) says, ‘But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith, by praying in the Holy Spirit,’. As you speak in tongues, the word settles in your spirit-man with powerful conviction that kill every form of doubt.

Giving yourself wholly to the Word in reading, studying, meditating, hearing testimonies and consistently speaking in the tongues of the Holy Spirit will build and develop your faith for triumph. Give all diligence to build your faith(see II Peter 1:10). The level to which you understand the Word will determine the level to which you will produce proofs (see Matthew 13:23). Shalom!

REMEMBER: Faith comes by hearing and understanding the Word – the Bible.

CONFESSION: My heart is flooded with light as I read, study and meditate on the Word of God. I only give my attention to the Word of God and my faith is built up to dare the impossible. Halleluyah!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Grace to sit down to read and study the Word is released upon you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
