Faith is vital

And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4 KJV)

Faith is the password, the foundation of power, anointing, and victory. We need faith to obey God’s Word, faith to step out and try new and different things.

Faith is vital. It’s what will enable us to follow God wherever He leads. It’s what will help us to say yes to Jesus—yes to taking a risk, yes to whatever His will may be for each of us. Faith is what will drive us, and to put action behind our beliefs and visions, to persevere when things are tough. Faith will catapult us over obstacles.

Sometimes faith seems a little bit mysterious, but it’s actually not complicated. We don’t have to try so hard to dissect faith or understand it. We simply need to trust in that which we have good reason to believe is true, Jesus, who is the author and finisher of our faith—the one who honors our trusting Him and His guidance in our lives.

We live by faith and walk by faith and it’s our “title deed,” but faith is also manifested by action. It’s a “doing” word, because faith without works is dead. We don’t have to feel like we have faith, or think that we have great faith. If we just start doing the things the Lord leads us to do, we’ll realize that we possess this valuable treasure—and the more we use our faith and feed it, the stronger it will grow. [1]

Faith is unseen but felt, faith is strength when we feel we have none, faith is hope when all seems lost. - Catherine Pulsifer
