There’s a difference between belief and faith. We can believe God has made a certain promise available to us but until we activate our faith to receive that promise, that promise will remain a belief.

A simple way we can understand the difference between belief and faith is with a chair. We can look at a chair and believe without a doubt that the chair will hold our weight. Our faith is not activated until we take a step and actually sit down in the chair.

Likewise with healing, provision, or whatever we desire from God. We can believe God has healed us or provided for us but until we activate our faith, healing or provision will remain a belief and not come to pass in our lives. Belief is in our head, but faith is the action.

2 Corinthians 4:13 says, we believe; therefore we speak. The faith or the action accompanied with belief is speaking. When we’re sick, we say “By His stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).” When our provision don’t appear available, we say, “All our needs are met (Phil. 4:19).”

Regardless of what we need or desire, let’s accompany our belief with faith.

2 Corinthians 4:13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak,
