To get this started
I was thinking to get this up and running, if we could have our first topic of faith that Bob started, get reposted here so that it's kind of up to date with what we've talked about. So maybe Jan, you could just copy and paste what you wrote him and we can get started from there! If that sounds good and make sense. :)

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI was watching God TV Thursday evening (I think), and Bill Hamon was on the Open Heaven Conference. As he was speaking he said "Faith can only happen in the heart, not the mind. It is impossible for the mind to have faith." WOW! I don't know about you but that was incredible for me. I struggle with faith. How do you live/walk in faith? What do you do to activate your heart and eliminate your mind when it comes to having an active faith?
Okay, there's our first discussion topic. What say you all?

ReplyDeleteHello Bob:
I found that faith is based in intimacy with Christ (along with everything else).
I have high faith in the area of healing, but am greatly challenged in faith for finances. God has given me several words that the spirit of poverty is defeated in my life. I find that when I am in God's presence, gazing at His beauty and meditating on His nature and abilities, faith "just happens". The initial effort on our part is to choose to believe. I feel He supplies the rest--the "faith is a substance".
I struggle with this one to Bob.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to your question about how to activate your faith, one thing I try to remember to do is speak God's truths out loud over myself and those around me (scriptural and those word-pictures He's revealed to me or through others). I guess, that is, to speak out His identity and our true identity so that they are reality.
I like what you said Jan about our initial effort and God's supplying the rest. It kind of feels like there's so much insufficiency for our/my faith to me the completion of my faith.
