The Word of Faith!

Scripture Text: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” – Romans 10:17 (KJV)

Understanding the Word of faith

It was  Smith Wigglesworth who said;
Faith does not deny the facts, it changes them.- 

I saw the testimony of a young woman, a believer who was  diagnosed with a chronic, and life taking illness. 

Her case was so terrible that the doctors had given up, and friends slowly withdrew in pity. 

But this young woman clung to one thing: the Word of God. 

Every morning and night, she declared, “By His stripes, I am healed.” (Isaiah 53:5). 

She listened to faith filled messages, soaked herself in scriptures, and spoke life daily. 

Over time, her strength returned. Her body started to respond to what her spirit had believed long before: she was healed. 

Praise God!

This is the power of the Word of Faith, not just motivational speaking, but God's spoken truth igniting belief that moves mountains.

However, in today’s world, even within the church, many are fainting, overwhelmed by trials, bad news, delayed answers, and personal struggles. 

Life, for many, feels like a storm with no safe harbor.

But the Word of Faith remains a sure anchor for the soul. It’s God’s medicine to a weary heart, and fuel for a victorious life.

The Word of Faith is not a man-made idea. It is God’s divine strategy for victory. 

It is what we believe, what we speak, and what we act upon, based on God's Word.

Paul says in Romans 10:8:

"But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;"

What you hear, meditate on, and confess will eventually shape your belief system. And what you believe will determine the outcomes of your life. 

Faith is not optional for the believer, it is the lifestyle of the redeemed.

Here Are Three Core Principles Of The Word Of Faith:

1. It Builds Faith to Stand in Tough Times

"But without faith it is impossible to please him..." – Hebrews 11:6

Faith built on the Word helps you stand when others fall. It enables you to say, “It is well,” even in a storm.

2. It Aligns Your Words With God's Will

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." – Proverbs 18:21

The Word of Faith trains your tongue to speak victory, not defeat. Like Jesus, you speak to mountains, not about them.

3. It Produces Victory Over the World

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.." – 1 John 5:4

You are not at the mercy of circumstances. The Word of Faith makes you a world overcomer.
