Message summary & scripture references
Having a strong desire for something can deceive you into thinking that you have faith for it. However, wanting something badly is not faith. Faith is not a strong desire; it is believing that you will receive the object of your desire.
This is a dangerous deception because no matter how much you want something, if you don’t have faith for it, you will not receive it. Listen to today’s message to learn more about this concept.
Hebrews 11:1 NLT
[1] Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.
Romans 4:17-21 KJV
[17] (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
[18] Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
[19] And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb:
[20] He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
[21] And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
James 1:6-8 KJV
[6] But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
[7] For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
[8] A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Mark 9:22-23 KJV
[22] And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
[23] Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Mark 9:24 KJV
[24] And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Romans 10:17 KJV
[17] So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
