FAITH WON'T WORK IN THE HEAD !

FAITH WON'T WORK IN THE HEAD ! This is where so many people get into trouble. They tried to operate the God kind of faith out of their head. They think all they have to do is say it. They say, " (Mark 11:23) says that I can have what I say, so I'm just going to start saying all these things I want." Here's an example. A certain man said to a friend, I'll tell you, this faith confession teaching doesn't work." He replied, "Oh, why do you say that ?" He said, "I confess 300 times in one day that I had a new car, and I didn't get it." You can see all he had was the formula. He thought it was just some magic formula or something--- people use the name of Jesus like it's some lucky rabbit's foot; like the man said 300 times in one day. He had the idea if you say it, the call will automatically appear in his garage. People have the idea of the keep saying the name of Jesus everything will be okay. No is faith in that Name and faith does not work in the head it works from the heart. No that is not the way it works from the head. That is not the application of spiritual faith. All he had was the formula. He totally missed the principle. Faith in God will work, but the God kind of faith must be developed. Here is something that many have never understood. Just because you believe the Scripture is in the Bible does not mean the promise is going to be true in your life. You must develop yourself in faith regarding that promise. Again, just finding something in the Bible doesn't mean you have Bible faith to believe for it. Just saying, "I believe the Scriptures," doesn't make it come true in your life. You have to act upon what you say you believe !. . . Faith is the substance of things hoped for. . . You hope for that promise to be true for you. We all hope for the premises of the word of God to become true in our personal life, such as healing, financial prosperity and spiritual gifts. But hope we are not brain the promise into manifestation. Yet hope is needful. For without hope you won't have anything for faith to give substance to. Many people come to be prayed for hoping to be healed or delivered. But hope will not heal them, because there is no substance of healing or deliverance in hope. Yet, if they didn't have hope, they wouldn't come. Many lose hope, then they have nothing for faith to give substance to. They gave up too quickly. Now, Back to Rightly Dividing the Word ! Verse 13 of (1 Corinthians 2) "And we are sitting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, come binding and interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. But the natural, non-spiritual man does not accept or welcome or admit into his heart the gifts and teachings and revelations of the Spirit of God, for they are folly [meaningless nonsense] to him; and he is incapable of knowing them (of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them) because they are spiritually discerned and estimated and appreciated."
