On Part 1 of Belief & Faith, we discovered a difference between belief and faith. Belief is in our head, but faith is the action that accompanies our belief.

We discovered one way to activate our faith is through speaking (2 Cor. 4:13). After believing God has made a promise available to us, we speak it into existence. We literally say what God says about the promise in the midst of negative circumstances.

In addition to speaking, we can activate our faith through God-appointed actions. If we desire a house, we audibly declare,  “I believe that I have received the house of my desire according to Mark 11:24.” Afterwards, God may lead us to begin packing before we get approved for the loan on the house. Another example is with a car. We believe that we’ve received the car and although we don’t have the money for the car, God may lead us to sit in and test drive the car on a weekly basis.

We must be sure an action is God-appointed because if it’s our own actions, it can appear as faith, but it’s really foolishness. A foolish action is if a person believes God for their eyesight to be healed, therefore, they take their glasses off to drive. If God didn’t tell us to do an action, He’s not obligated to manifest the miracle.

Believe AND have faith to manifest the desires of your heart.

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,
