Faith, what is it and how is it received? Is it just another form of works? Can it be built up like your muscles in a gym? Here are the 3 key points:1) It is in our weakness that we find our strength. 2) Faith in God is not received by God’s people building it up. Faith in God is received when faith in our own power is broken down. 3) Prayer is most powerful when we wrestle against our doubts, fears and the powers of darkness. Prayers of praise are given in faith for God’s faithfulness in hearing and answering those desperate pleas.Faith, what is it and how is it received? Is it just another form of works?
