Summary:

Faith is the prescribed way of life for those who are a part of the kingdom of God. While everything in the kingdom of God is powered by love, you can't obtain the promises of God without
faith.

1. If you are a part of the Kingdom of God, then your lifestyle is faith (Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38).
   1. Those who have been declared righteous live by faith; faith leads to more faith (Romans 1:17).
   2. You can't obtain the promises of God except through faith (Hebrews 11:32-35).
      1. It takes faith to get results from the Word.
   3. Faith is the Word of God.
   4. Faith is expecting something based on the right information—the Word of God.
      1. Faith is not just believing; it is believing combined with a specific Word you received from God's Word.
      2. Belief is a part of faith, but it is not the whole part.
      3. Faith is a practical expression of confidence in God and His Word.
         
         
2. Your reward is in your confidence (Hebrews 10:35-36).
   1. Satan is going to try to attack your confidence.
   2. Every time people in the Bible got results, it was preceded by confidence.
   3. Confidence has to be developed.
   4. You have to intentionally set yourself to be confident.
   5. The devil will come immediately when you take a confident stance.
   6. Confidence is part of the conceiving phase of your faith.
      1. You can't give birth to something you have not first become pregnant with.
   7. When you throw away your confidence, you throw away your reward.
      
      
3. Faith believes even when you can't see any evidence in the natural.
   1. Faith doesn't need the support of sensory mechanisms in order for you to believe.
   2. Fear is believing that what God said won't come to pass.
   3. Meditate the Word of God so that you can be successful in life.
      1. To meditate is to mutter, ponder, speak and think about a scripture until you get revelation from it.
         
         
4. Faith and patience work hand in hand to bring about manifestation.
   1. Patience doesn't mean to tolerate. It is remaining consistently, constantly the same no matter what the circumstances may be.
   2. Maintain your stance when trials come.
   3. Nothing in the natural realm should change your confidence.
   4. Don't get weak and give up.
   5. At the end of your faith you will receive manifestation.
      1. When you see the manifestation of what you have been releasing your faith for, you don't need faith for it any more.
