Faith

 This is not the faith that brings us into salvation.

This is not your ability to believe for something. But in its simplest form it is when God adds faith to your faith supernaturally. It is given for a task.

“To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭8‬-‭10‬

This faith is the undoubting assurance that what the Holy Spirit has nudged you to do can and will happen. It is the extraordinary steps taken firstly by God; we don’t exercise this gift as we desire but at the discretion of the Spirit. This is not having faith in faith but in the Holy Spirit who has nudged us to speak, to go and to act. This faith believes for miracles, healings, the impossibilities to be possible. If ever one gift was mission-focused it is this gift. Why would church planters decide to plant in the toughest of areas? The gift of Faith. 

Holy Spirit I ask that whenever you think I need this gift of faith you give it to me. As I step into this world where people need Jesus and you show me knowledge of them and give me wisdom to know how to speak to them and lead them into the way of God then give me faith to believe that this person will be saved, that person will be healed and another will be delivered.  As I step forward and receive this gift let Jesus be seen and glorified. Amen.
