Part 2: Building Your Faith by Apostle Joshua Selman

Faith is built at the point of hearing, but the miracle happens at the point of your response/obedience

Bible faith demands that:

1. You hear correctly
2. Your respond accurately

Prayer is connected to manifesting Bible Faith. Mark 11:23-24 KJV

Your desire connects to:

1. Prayer. James 5:13-15 KJV, James 4:1-3 KJV
2. Believing
3. Receiving – Receiving is a spiritual reality.
4. Having

What makes prayer a prayer that is A Miss:

1. Prayer without the backing of scripture. Genesis 21:1 KJV
   1. God’s word preceded his action. Genesis 1:1-3 KJV
2. A Corrupted motive. Any Desire that violates the way the kingdom operates will not be answered. James 4:3 KJV
3. Praying without faith that means without the willingness to obey God
   1. No amount of prayer will substitute for obedience. Hebrews 4:2 KJV

One major assignment of prayer is to help you know the will of God

Proverbs 18:24 KJV, John 2:5 KJV, Corinthians 10:6 KJV

Dishonor is the key that shuts any door

Understanding is what gives strength to our spiritual activities

Understand first then you act

When you pray and it produces, you will pray again

Psalms 1:3 KJV

God is touched with the feelings of your infirmity but is only moved by his word

Philippians 2:5-11 KJV

There are 3 different types of obedience:

1. Obedience unto Inconvenience. e.g emptying your account
2. Obedience unto Shame
3. Obedience unto Death. Philippians 2:8-11 KJV

Delayed obedience is disobedience in a measure

Genesis 22:1-3 KJV

There is timing to obedience, you don’t obey when you want, you obey when the word comes

When in the place of prayer, pray for the doing grace, the doing grace is what empowers the believer to take prompt action and redeem the time

Psalm 90:14 KJV, Psalm 18:29 KJV, Genesis 12:3 KJV, Psalm 62:11 KJV, Psalm 107:16 KJV, 2 Corinthians 2:14 KJV, Psalm 3:3 KJV

The help of God does not just make things possible, it makes things easy

Whatever you tolerate has the license to remain

If it is not working, don’t keep quiet. Isaiah 62:7 KJV
