SCRIPTURE:

 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)

There was a man in the book of Acts, chapter 14, who the Scriptures say “never had walked: the same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked (verses 8–10).

Notice the man had faith, but he was sitting on it, probably waiting on a feeling. Faith is not a feeling nor is it a product of reason or human logic. Faith is a spiritual force coming out of your spirit (inner man) and once released, it will do the impossible. 

Faith is released the moment we act on the Word.

PRAYER:

Dear God, I praise You, Father, that Your Word, when spoken and released, builds faith in me to receive healing, deliverance, protection, and provision for whatever I need. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
