What Kind of Faith Delivers the Goods?
Abundant prosperity requires living by the right kind of faith. It is through faith that we touch the very source of life. If we could measure a man's faith we could come very near to predicting accurately the measure of his success in life.
TWO KINDS OF FAITH
There is a specific kind of faith that will deliver the abundant goods for a prosperous life. The kind of faith required is heart faith.
BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEAD FAITH
First let's talk about the kind of faith that does NOT deliver the goods - head faith.
Chances are you've heard of this type of faith found in a man often referred to as 'Doubting Thomas'. Thomas did not believe the other disciples when they said they saw the Lord. Thomas only believes after he himself sees Jesus. Jesus says blessed are those that have NOT seen, and yet believed. (You can read this account in John chapter twenty of the Bible.)
The point is: head faith only believes what it can see and feel and is based on mental reasoning.
BELIEVING WITH YOUR HEART FAITH
Heart faith is what delivers the goods. Heart faith believes regardless of what it sees and in spite of circumstances.
No wonder Abraham is a primary example of someone whose faith was of the heart. In Romans chapter four it says Abraham believed in what was spoken even though he couldn't see it. He didn't consider the present situation in unbelief, but was strong in faith and fully persuaded.
What happens when you have real faith of the heart? Faith in your heart produces results.
By the way, it's no surprise that a lot of people struggle because they have doubt in their minds. But I want to point out that you can still get results even when you have some doubts in your mind.
Jesus says we can have what we Say if we do not doubt in our Heart. (Mark 11:23) And then Proverbs 3:5 tells us to trust the Lord with all our Heart, and lean not on our own understanding (thoughts and feelings).
The simple fact of the matter is this: True faith is of the heart and not the head. What is in the heart of our being is who we are and what we become.
"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he." -- Proverbs 23:7
Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. So take time to listen to the Word in the area you believe to receive.
Doesn't it make sense to harness this dynamic heart faith to produce abundant prosperity in your life? Now you can. And confessing and speaking the powerful phrases of The Word is one of the most effective ways to attract abundance.
May you live by heart faith and continue to experience growing prosperity!
