Exceedingly Growingly Faith: To believe with the heart means to believe apart from what your physical body or your physical senses may tell you. The body--- that physical man--- believes what it sees with the physical eyes, here is with the physical ear, or what his or her physical feelings tell them. The spirit, or the heart, however, believes what the Word says, and faith in God is only going to say what is written, regardless of seeing, or tasting, or touching, or feeling. Faith must be based upon what the Word says. Because the Word of God is the object of our faith in God ! Many people are prayed for again and again and again. Now I do not mean that you should not come back to be prayed for the second time. I have reference to those who come repeatedly. Those who come repeatedly and do not receive healing or deliverance do not have faith in the Word. They have a natural human faith. Because they do not see that they are healed or delivered or have some physical evidence of it, they won't believe it. Heart faith Believes The Word of God first; then the physical evidence will take care of itself. To believe with all your heart is to believe with your spirit. To believe with all your heart is to believe independently of your head and of your body. (Proverbs 3:5) tells us, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Most people practice that, all right, but they practiced it in reverse. They trust with all their understanding and lean not to their own heart ! The next two verses in (Proverbs 3) say, "in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes . . ." (vv. 6, 7). In other words don't be wise with natural human knowledge, which would cause you to act independently of the Word of God. In the New Testament we find the counterpart to this scripture: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations [reasonings], and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ"(2 Corinthians 10:4-- 5). The Lord Jesus Christ, When He was on earth, said in(Mark 11:24), "Therefore I say unto you, what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you received them, and you shall have them." I believe sometimes many people for hours in the night or during the day would struggle casting down imaginations, it's not always easy, but, thank God, it can be done. "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:5. This simply means to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of the Word, for the Word is Christ. So I suggest that whoever is reading this, begin to think in line with what His Word says. This is the process of renewing your mind ! This is very important: if you want to walk by faith, the Word must be superior to anything and everything else. It must be superior to any knowledge, whether that knowledge is yours or someone else's. When you trust God with all your heart, a quietness and a piece come into your spirit, because the word says, "For we which have believed do enter into rest. . ." (Hebrews 4:3).
