Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you” (Matthew 9:29). In Matthew chapter nine, Jesus touched the eyes of two blind men who were following Him, and He healed them. Notice He didn’t simply say to them, “You are healed,” but instead He said, “According to your faithContinue reading “According to Your Faith”

What Are You Believing?
We can’t have faith without hope, and we can’t have hope without faith. They go together because faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. The reality is this: the unseen world is the real world, and this world we live in is the created world. God isContinue reading “What Are You Believing?”
God Responds to Faith, not Clichés
Sometimes people get in situations where their backs are up against the wall.

Can the Church Function without Faith?
A few weeks ago I received a letter from a minister in Illinois who was upset because I was teaching faith.

She said that her five-year-old son, Matthew, came out of the bathroom and made this declaration: “I’ve brushed my teeth real good, I’ve kept my faith in God, and I’ve been delivered from fear.” When she told me what herContinue reading “Become As Little Children”
The Word is Profitable when Mixed with Faith
People came to Jesus hungry, and they left fed. People came to Jesus sick and deformed and they left healed. People came to Jesus deep in sin and bondage and they left totally set free. We also know, however, that not everyone who lived in Israel at the time of Jesus was healed. There wereContinue reading “The Word is Profitable when Mixed with Faith”
Faith Isn’t Surprised
As the early church was growing in the first century, Herod Agrippa, the grandson of Herod the Great, harassed many of the early church leaders. He killed James, the brother of John. He arrested Peter just because he knew it would please the Jews. After Peter was arrested, Herod the king put him in prisonContinue reading “Faith Isn’t Surprised”
Releasing Your Faith Through Words
Proverbs 6:2 says we are snared by the words of our mouth, and we are taken by the words of our mouth. In Mark 11:23 Jesus said, “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believesContinue reading “Releasing Your Faith Through Words”
Why Do We Talk So Much About Faith?
I am often asked the question, “Why do you talk about faith so much?” Well, the reason I try to study and talk about faith so much is because Jesus did. And I want to be like Him. Let me explain.
