Faith Bible Study Guide
God’s Word works for everyone – if the person will only believe it – not try to believe. The Word won’t work if you just try it or hope it will work. No, it’s believing faith – apart from physical circumstances – that gets the job done. We walk by faith and not by sight when it comes to the baptism of the Holy Ghost, healing, an answer to prayer, as well as receiving anything else from God.
In the natural we do have to go by our senses. For example, if you are crossing the street and your eyes tell you there are cars coming, you need to have enough sense to wait until the cars pass before you proceed to cross the street! In things in the natural realm, you have to walk by natural faith – faith in your sight, faith in your smell, or faith in your feelings. Therefore, there are many areas in which we have to walk by faith in our physical senses.
But, you see, many people are trying to believe God with their physical senses or with natural, human faith. And if their physical senses tell them their prayer hasn’t been answered, then they believe their physical senses, instead of the Word of God.
But what do your physical senses have to do with the Bible? God’s Word is so whether you feel like it is or not. God’s Word is so whether it looks like it is so or not. God’s Word is true all the time regardless of your feelings. No matter what the circumstances, God’s Word is still true.
I can’t teach faith any plainer than that. That’s as plain as faith gets: put your faith in what the Word says rather than in what your senses tell you. If you can’t understand faith yet, you just keep reading these lessons and studying God’s Word. As you do, eventually your mind will be renewed with the Word and the light will come to you.
