FAITH IN GOD COMES ! "So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). It doesn't say it comes by reading or by having heard, but it says faith comes by hearing (present tense). It comes by hearing the Word of God. The Greek says, "Faith cometh by report and the report by the declaration of God." So faith cometh by hearing the Rhema (spoken word) of God. The same principle works in reverse gear quicker, Because many people are so highly developed in fear rather than faith. When we hear ourselves speaking, saying what God said, it will produce faith in us more quickly than if we hear someone else saying it. Hearing your own voice speak God's Word will excite your heart to action. For example, you don't always obey what someone else says, but you do obey your words. They govern you. "He shall have whatsoever he saith." (Mark 11:23). Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh (Matthew 12:34). We also believe, and therefore speak (2 Corinthians 4:13). So then faith cometh by hearin , and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17). For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also (James 2:26). Your words are the spirit of your faith. The Word says that the gospel did not profit them because it was not mixed with faith. They were hearers only of the Word, and not doers; therefore they deceive themselves. They didn't do what God told them. There are many people today who say, "yes, I believe in prayer," but they are not obedient to what God has said to do when you pray. God told the Israelites, I have given you the land go in and possess it. Moses sent 12 spies and 10 came back with the evil report except for Joshua and Caleb. The multitude of the people with the 10, spies they, said we are not able. Joshua and Caleb said we are well able. Joshua and Caleb held their confession for 40 years. While the rest of the people got exactly what they said, they said we going to die in the wilderness and that is exactly what happened. (See Numbers 14: 1 through 45). Please, I challenge you to read for yourself how Moses prayed and interceded for the people; and how God said Caleb was of another spirit, and how they murmured in their tents against Moses and Aaron; and how they said that they were going to die in the wilderness and that their children and their wives will be prey.
