Faith that works: Increasing my Faith

There is an ever growing increase in increasing faith, yet most do not understand the necessity for it. As Hebrews 11:6 says it is impossible to please God without Faith. In order to please the Lord we need to understand three things when it comes to Faith these are: Why do we need to increase our Faith?, How does Faith increase?, What does increased Faith produce?. With this in mind we must also come to know what to watch out for that can limit and negatively impact our Faith.

    • Faith unlocks God’s promises (Mark 11:24)
      • As long as we have the faith and we believe in Christ Jesus that all we have prayed for we can obtain then we have it. As seen in (Mark 11:24)

    • Trials (James 1:2-3), (Romans 5:3-5)

    • Fear (2 Kings 25-26), (Mark 4:40), (Matthew 8:26), (Revelation 21:8)
    • Disobedience (1 Samuel 15:15-22)
    • Neglect of God’s Word (1 Samuel 15:26), (Hebrews 2:3), (Proverbs 1:24-26)

  • Father, every stagnation that I have suffered, please deliver me from it this morning
  • Father, release unto me the grace of speed
  • Father, whatever has limited my father and mother, every form of limitation in my life and family, let it be scattered
  • Father, everything I need that will make my season exceptional and glorious, please grant unto me
