The Power Of Faith

What Is Faith?

1) Faith is the conviction of the truth of anything, belief; in the NT of a conviction or belief respecting man's relationship to GOD (YHVH) and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervour born of faith and joined with it.

2) Relating to YHVH - The conviction that YHVH exists and is the creator and ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Christ.

3) Relating to Christ - a strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the Kingdom of YHVH.

4) The religious beliefs of Christians - belief with the predominate idea of trust (or confidence) in YHVH, the Holy Spirit and in Jesus the Christ, springing from faith in them.

5) Fidelity, faithfulness - the character of one who can be relied on.

In Scripture, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. {Hebrew 11:1 (KJV)} In practice, faith is calling forth those things that are not as though they are.

The Seven Kinds Of Faith

1. Faithless Faith - This faith is negative in nature and denies "A Measure of Faith". Faithless faith does not even have the power to believe in anything or anyone. In fact, people that are faithless are consumed with unbelief. {Matthew 13:57-58 (KJV)} They generally have low self-esteem, self-value and self-worth. They lack courage, resolve and suffer from a variety of psychological and physical ailments. Faithless faith is also filled with doubt and has no belief until it can be verified with one or more of the five senses. John 20:27 (KJV)

2. Natural Faith - This faith is common to all human beings. You do not have to be a Christian or even religious to have this faith. This is just enough faith not to be faithless and believe the world will be here tomorrow, you won't fly off into space, the highway won't collapse beneath you and the oceans won't evaporate. When natural faith is strong, it is often called confidence, self assurance, strong will and/or positive mental attitude. This faith, removed from reality and actuality is dangerous.

3. Little Faith - A little faith is slightly beyond natural faith, but does not have enough belief or spiritual maturity to move in the super natural. It is easily destroyed by doubt and/or fear. Matthew 8:26; 14:31; 16:18; Luke 12:28 (KJV)

4. A Measure Of Faith - YHVH has given every human being a "Measure of Faith" because it takes a measure of faith in order to be saved. This faith is stronger than "Natural Faith" and a "Little Faith" and has enough power to work in the super natural. Romans 12:3 (KJV)

5. Visible - This is the faith YHVH sees in you. Matthew 8:2-4; 9:2; 28-30; Mark 1:40-41; 2:5 (KJV)

6. Great Faith - This faith can work over great distances and is far more potent than a "Little Faith" and "A Measure of Faith. You can be miles away and utilize "Great Faith" to heal. Matthew 8:10; 15:28; Luke 7:9 (KJV)

7. Mustard Seed Faith - This faith is pure uncorruptible and perfect faith. With this faith, a person can speak to a mountain and it will move, {Matthew 17:20 (KJV)} rebuke the winds, {Matthew 8:24-36 (KJV)} walk on water {Matthew 14:25-31(KJV)} wither a fig tree, {Matthew 21:19 (KJV)} perform miracles in front of witnesses {Matthew15:30-38 (KJV)} and raise the dead. John 11:43 (KJV)
