How to live by faith

“For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:17
“(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” 2 Corinthians 5:7
When you live by faith, nothing is a threat to you on earth. Can you imagine the kind of confidence you have when you know that there is enough money in your bank account? This is similar but not comparable to the confidence you experience when you have faith in God. Faith is powerful enough to take care of all human problems, be it financial, health or otherwise.  Faith compels God to manifest in the realm of man.
Faith is the most current and universal currency in the world. Anyone who has faith rules anywhere in the world. There are four important ingredients of living by faith.
Hunger for God’s word: The bible says in Romans 10:17, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” God must have spoken; you must have heard if you want to live by faith. God is always speaking but you must learn to tune in. Meditation on the word, praying, quiet time, fellowship, attendance of service must be directed towards hearing God.
Acting on God’s word: God told Abraham to leave, he left. God told him to go to a mountain to sacrifice his son he did. Jesus told Peter to come on water he did. Jesus told the people at the marriage of Cana of Galilee to fetch water into the pot they did. Faith is both visible and active.
Faith speaking: Mathew 17:20 says, “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” 
Faith praying. Mark 11:24 says,” herefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”
I see you walking in miracles because you are living by faith in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: I walk by faith and not by sight. God is speaking to me, I am hearing Him and acting on His word in Jesus name.
