No effort of our own will create faith in us. Real faith comes one way. It comes by hearing.
FAITH NOT FLESH
“…we shall come to the realization that we can receive faith only as He gives it. No longer will we foolishly attempt to struggle to believe.” Charles S. Price, The Real Faith
No effort of our own will create faith in us. If we work hard to make ourselves believe, we’ll have a make-believe faith. Real faith comes one way. It comes by hearing.
“…you can not generate it; you can not work it up; you can not manufacture it. It is imparted and infused by God Himself. You can not sit in your homes and struggle to have faith, and affirm that something is; nor can you turn your hope and desire into faith by your own power. The only place you can get it is from the Lord,” Charles S. Price, The Real Faith
Dr. Price goes on to talk about “unscriptural mental and intellectual gyrations in our attempt to find a faith we do not possess.” Then He says this:
“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by a Word of God. Let Jesus speak to this heart of mine and doubts will take the wings of the morning and fly away. Let Jesus breathe a little Word to this poor mind of mine … That is how faith comes! Not through the channels of human concepts. Not along the paths of human understandings. Not by the abilities of minds to comprehend, or the power of the intellect to affirm. … One little Word from Jesus is worth all the words in a dictionary of human language.” Charles S. Price, The Real Faith
If we want faith, we must get into the presence of God so we can listen to His voice. When faith comes, we receive certainty of whatever God told us to do. When God tells us to do something, He gives us authority in the thing He told us to do.
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)
Faith is substance. That means faith is reality. It’s not conceptual. It’s real. It’s solid. Whatever God told you to do is concrete, and the vision of hope that comes with faith is also concrete. And faith is also evidence. It’s absolutely certain proof of what God said even though you haven’t seen it yet. There’s no doubt is faith. Faith is unwavering and unmoved by anything that comes against it.
“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:6-8)
