Faith that works: Biblical conditions that Allow Faith To Move Mountains

Welcome to a new week, a new month, a new prophetic message: Faith that works. There are six Biblical conditions that are required for faith to move mountains, these are: Faith must be found in the Word of God (Romans 10:17), Faith must be mixed with obedience (1 samuel 15:22), Faith must be free of doubt (James 1:6-8), Faith must operate through love (Galatians 5:6), Faith must be persistent (Luke 18:1-8), lastly, Faith must be centered around Christ (Hebrews 12:2).

Key takeaways:

• Faith must be found in the Word of God
  • It is in the Word of God, you must hear the Word (Romans 10:17)
    • Everyone that is acting in faith is hearing a Word. If there is no Word for you, then there is no faith since there is nothing to work with (James 2:14-26), (Genesis 12:1-4), (Luke 5:5)
• Faith must be mixed with Obedience (James 2:17)
  • Sacrifice is not easy. Obedience is better than sacrifice. This is an easier way to go than sacrifice (1 samuel 15:22).
• Faith must be free of doubt: (James 1:6-8)
  • You cannot exercise faith with a double mind (James 1:6-8),
  • You cannot manifest the power of faith with a double mind
  • You cannot move that mountain with a double mind
  • Fear is one of the main causes of a double mind
• Faith must operate through love (Galatians 5:6)
  • You cannot have unforgiveness, bitterness, and hatred in your heart and still operate in faith (Galatians 5:6). All these negative things hinder faith
  • Faith flows best from a heart that reflects God’s Character
  • Faith does not flow from a heart that is not at peace, nor a heart that is in wickedness. It does not flow from a heart that does not reflect the nature of God
• Faith must be persistent
  • Many miracles occur because many refuse to quit and many also do not occur because people quit before the time
  • The issue of Faith is it happens on God’s time not yours. It is God’s timing
    • In the story of Abraham it was God who moved Abraham and told him to leave his father’s house
  • Faith requires persistence.
    • Widow of zerapath (Luke 18:1-8)
    • Elijah prayed repeatedly for the rain
  • Faith does not give up because the answer is delayed. Delay is not denial
  • You must not waver (James1:6-8)
• Faith must be centered on Christ (Hebrews 12:2)
  • Your faith must be centered on Christ
  • Strong faith begins with a strong relationship with Christ
  • Faith is confidence in His character, not mere confidence in desired outcomes
• Faith magnifies God. Fear magnifies the problem
