What is Faith?
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:1
If hope means desire or expectations
And evidence means manifestation,
Then faith is therefore the substance of things desired or expected , the manifestation of things not seen
To believe means, to accept as true, particularly without absolute certainty
If there's no belief, there exist doubt
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:4
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11:24
The devil blinds Christians with doubt so that they will not see and experience the wonders and miracles of the world.
The devil has clouded our minds with doubts that we forget that its the same God
~ that divided the red sea for the Israelites to cross
~ that sent plaques to the Egyptians that affected the Israelites not, even though they were in the same country
~ that fed the Israelites in the wilderness with manna and meat
~ that made the waters in the wilderness sweet from being bitter
~ that fed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fishes
But the word of God tells us......
If only you believe and have faith, you shall receive
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
John 7:38
How then do you develop your faith?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 10:17
And indeed, you can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth you.
Philippians 4:13
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the communion, fellowship, contribution, participation, 10 000 children (which includes all the important people for my life) and the 1st love of the Holy Spirit, be with us all. Amen.
2 Corinthians 13:14

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
1 Corinthians 14:10
The deepest desire of every Christian is to follow the will of God
The 12 voices. The voice of....
~ God ~ Friends
~The flesh ~ Parents
~The mind ~ Spirit
~Devil ~ Spouse
~ Prophet ~ Circumstance
~ Pastor ~ Your will
The Voice Of Your Mind
√ The mind is a very great asset to every Christian and minister
√ A combination of the voice of your spirit and of the mind will lead you to your promotion in life and ministry
1 Corinthians 1:24
.......Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
√ Too much reasoning turns you into a fool
1 Corinthians 1:20
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
The voice of your flesh
√ The voice of your flesh is your human desire
√ The voice of your flesh is physical feeling
√ The voice of your flesh says, "do what feels nice and easy"
√ Do not obey the voice of your flesh if you want to be blessed
√ You can silence the voice of your flesh by doing what is hard and difficult
Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
