Faith
Charles Spurgeon said, “A little faith will bring your soul to heaven; A great faith will bring heaven to your soul.” Faith is more than mental assent; faith believes what the Word says even though sight and feelings may be saying something different.
One of the greatest enemies of real faith is a thing called, “mental assent”. People who act in mental assent say they believe the Word, but when the pressure is on, they go to pieces and start speaking fear and unbelief. You can tell if they really believe the Word or not, by what is coming out of their mouth. If they’re questioning God’s love, His ability or just plain speaking the opposite to what God says, then you know they were in mental assent and not faith. When you are in faith, regardless of the circumstances, your heart is fixed trusting in the Lord.
Philippians 4:7 says, “And the peace of God that passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
People in mental assent just plain don’t act on the Word when problems arise. Mental assent says, “I believe the bible from cover to cover. I believe I am healed by the stripes of Jesus.” However, when sickness actually comes or attacks, it stops saying, “I am healed,” and starts saying, “I am sick.”
Faith doesn’t care what the symptoms are; it doesn’t care what the circumstances may be! It isn’t moved by the banker or doctor’s report. It is only moved by what it believes! And it believes what God said is true, and confesses it! Faith in God’s Word will change the symptoms. It will change the bank account. It will bring money to get the bills paid. Faith will turn defeat into victory. It is God’s success formula! But remember you have to give that faith an opportunity to work . Give it some time to produce the results it was designed by God to produce. You have to keep God’s Word in your mouth and meditate on it in your heart. You have to be obedient to what God says, by faith and patience inherit the promises. As you do these things you will make your way prosperous and you will have good success.
