The spirit of faith.

The spirit of faith!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

II Corinthians 4:13
And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,

The spirit of faith has two vital components, believing God's word in your heart and speaking God's word from your mouth. The word must be in your heart and your mouth. This heart and mouth connection is the only way you can see the manifestation of the promises of God.

Faith is a law. It will work for anyone who will put the word in their hearts and speak the word from their mouths. Abraham who is called the Father of faith, couldn't receive the manifestation of Isaac unless He had the word of God, the promise in his heart and his mouth. We have to work on putting the word in our hearts by putting our eyes on the word, consistently hearing the word and constantly meditating on it so we can be convinced and fully persuaded that God is well able to do what He has promised. God showed Abraham the stars and the sands, He cut a covenant with him to show His seriousness about His kindness to him and He gave Abram a new name 'Abraham' which means Father of many nations. God did all this so Abraham would put these things in His heart and mouth and therefore see the manifestation of the promises.

Friend, you have to put the word in your spirit and in your mouth for your faith to work effectively. It's work because in this age, many things are trying to get in your heart and mouth and distractions are many. God is not holding anything back from you, God has kept it all for you and He expects you to apply the law of faith and access all the good things He has for you. We have a covenant with God in the blood of Jesus which is better than what Abraham had. We have the word of God with Jesus himself as the surety of every word in the new covenant. Meditate on these things and speak about it and you will see the manifestation of all that God has promised you. This is your time!
