How To Release Your Faith Having stores of food will not satisfy your hunger unless you actually take the food and eat it. In the same way having faith in your heart will hardly profit you unless you release your faith to accomplish its purpose. How do we release the faith? In Matthew 17:20, Jesus […]

How do we reconcile the gift of faith only given to some versus the responsibility for all to have faith without which we are in sin and can’t please God? As we have covered so far, faith isn’t optional. God demands it  (Hebrews 11:6, Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:7). Even so, this faith God demands

How Does Faith Come? God demands that we live by faith, not by sight; this is the only way to please Him (2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:6). Even so, this faith  is not an impartation we receive through the laying on of hands or by prayer and fasting. Through praying in the Spirit you can strengthen yourself in your

Why Is Faith So Important? Faith is not a movement, which some Christians may opt to join. Neither is it supposed to be a characteristic that only defines certain kinds of Christians or denominations.

The Bible describes godliness as a mystery (1 Timothy 3:16). It being a mystery means that unless you are let in on the secrets that constitute it, you will fail to recognize what it really is. Thankfully, the Scriptures solve this mystery for us: “By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who

None of us alone makes up the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12, 14), and none of us individually possesses the whole mind of Christ. It is what each member supplies that keeps the entire body and all its members healthy and well (Ephesians 4:16), so that when we are not actively engaged in the

“Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus… and to Archippus our fellow soldier (Philemon‬ 1:1-2‬) Christians are called to be soldiers of God (Philemon 1:2, 2 Timothy 2:3). When you believed in Christ, you were thrown into a raging battle. If this were not so, you will not be told to put on the whole armour
