(Use And Walk In The God-Kind Of Faith)
TO THE BIBLE: Romans 4:17
“…God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did.”
LET’S TALK
“Cindy, I’m feeling pains all over my arm; it’s been hurting so bad since I slipped and fell three days ago; could you please get me a menthol balm from the pharmacy?’
“I have something even better than that; once I use it, you’ll feel no pain again, Sis!”
“Really, could you use it now? It hurts really bad!”
With that, Cindy laid her hand on Margie’s arm and declared it healed in Jesus’ Name! To Margie’s surprise, the pains stopped instantaneously! Cindy used the faith of God and it worked!
Faith is a principle by which we live in the Kingdom of God. The Bible says, “…The righteous will live by faith” (Romans 1:17 NIV), and the faith we’ve been given is the God-kind of faith.
You can apply it as God did throughout the Scriptures and be guaranteed the same results. The Bible says, by faith, God framed the cosmos, the worlds (Hebrews 11:3).
In Mark 11:22, “…Have faith in God,” Jesus actually meant “Have the faith of God” or “the God-kind of faith”—the supernatural faith that God operates.
When God speaks, He calls things that are not as though they were and sees the unseen. By the spoken word, you too can bring into physical manifestation things that aren’t perceptible to the senses.
What about things that are already there that you don’t want? The Bible says, “And the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are” (1 Corinthians 1:28).
What a principle! The word “nothing” is from “katargeo” (Greek), meaning to “make void, to make or become of no (none, without) effect, to decimate.” This you can achieve with your words—your faith proclamations.
With words, you can destroy or decimate things that exist. Remember, you can call things that don’t exist as though they did. There’s no disadvantage to the child of God.
Whatever the situation you’re facing today, there’s a way out! The victory is in your mouth. Don’t look at the circumstances, for they’re subject to change. Look at the unseen—your victory—the picture the Word of God projects. Look at what the Word is telling you, and stick to the Word.

Speak
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage. I live in health, safety and prosperity. The world is subdued before me, and I walk in dominion over circumstances. Glory to God!
