What Is Faith & Where Does Faith Come From?

It is crucial for us to activate our Faith if we want to have any kind of personal relationship with God. Why is Faith so important, because Faith changes things. To understand the prayer of faith, we should first know what faith is and where did faith come from. The Bible says, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence (or reality) of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) In other words, faith is the spiritual substance that causes the things you are hoping for to become reality. When you are sick, the thing that you are hoping for is health. Faith causes the thing that you hope for (health) to become real (you get healing). When you are confused and do not know what to do, faith causes the thing that you hope for (wisdom) to become reality. 

Faith is far more than simple mental agreement or sincere hope. When you have faith, the thing that you are hoping for is more real to you than whatever you may see with your eyes. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence (or reality) of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)
 

So where does this faith come from? The Bible says, "So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17) In other words, filling yourself with God's Word causes faith to grow in your spirit.  When you are in Faith, you can't even consider if what you are believing for doesn't happen. Faith provides the floor for your prayers, dreams and visions to stand on. Faith in God includes Faith in His timing.  Faith is having peace even when you do not have the answers
