How to Have Faith in God || How to Walk by Faith

Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.


We have faith in God by hearing the Word of Faith; which is the Word of God.

The Word of God here, is the Word of Faith - the Gospel of Grace; the full gospel.

It is in hearing the faith filled Word of God that faith comes, and it is in hearing the faith filled Word of God that faith is nurtured.

What is preached most times on our pulpits are nothing but sin, condemnation and the wrath of God. Such breeds fear, inferiority, and doubt rather than faith.

It is the hearing of the preached Gospel of the grace and truth of God that came by Jesus Christ, that brings faith.

However, we walk by faith, by first living by faith.

We cannot walk in something we don't have. So we are to live by faith before we walk by faith.

Likewise, We live in the Spirit (i.e having the Spirit of Christ in our hearts - being born again, Rom 8:9) before we can walk in or by the Spirit,

Gal 5:25 If we LIVE IN THE SPIRIT[having the Spirit of God dwell in us by reason of the new birth-being born again], let us also WALK IN THE SPIRIT.

So we live in, before we walk in.

Same is true with faith.

We have to live by faith(i.e having first the faith that came into our hearts when we heard the Gospel of our salvation and received it by that same faith, thus becoming born again) before we can walk by faith.

Rom 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Rom 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

So by hearing the Gospel of Christ that saves, we receive faith to believe for salvation, thus receiving Christ and becoming saved.

So in hearing the gospel of salvation, the faith of Christ was imparted unto us to believe and receive the message.

That is, we use His faith(imparted, on hearing the message; Rom 10:17) to believe the faith message,

Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, THOU SHALT BE SAVED.

The faith to believe in the heart comes by hearing the Word of faith- the Word of God.

So the just shall live by faith that came through the preached Gospel (i.e saved and imparted with Eternal life by faith), and then should walk by that faith from then on,

Col 2:6 As ye have therefore RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS THE LORD [by faith that came through the hearing of the Gospel of Chrsit, which is the Word of faith] , SO WALK YE IN HIM[by faith]:

You should know as a believer in Christ that you already have faith in God, if not so, then you were never saved, you are not born again.

So as a born again saint of God in Christ, don't let any one tell you that you don't have faith in God, cause you do, if not you won't have been saved.

As a believer you should learn how to walk by faith, not how to have faith or live by faith; you already have and are living by it; except the term "live by faith" is conveying the thought, "walking or living the day to day life by faith"

You've already got faith, you only need to know how to use it to appropriate all that has been made available for you in Christ.

It is expedient you know how to walk by faith else you will live a defeated life as a Child of God.

You see, we can only enforce to seeing the manifestation of all that belongs to us in Christ through faith.

Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

We can only walk in the fullness of these blessings only by standing and holding fast to them by faith.

We will only see the fruit or manifestations of redemption, righteousness, sanctification, wisdom, salvation, and all the other spiritual blessings by standing and walking by faith.

You can only enforce Colossians 1:13 by faith,

Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

A Christian praying, for ending hours, that the power or authority of witches, wizards and demons should be broken in his or her life is not walking by faith in the light of Colossians 1:13. He is trying to break what only exists in the figment of his imagination, sponsored by the devil; mental strongholds.

And we have been instructed as Christians to cast down these strongholds in 2Corinthians 10:3-5.


A Christian jumping from prayer house to prayer house trying to break generational curses or alters, is not walking by faith in the light of John 15:5.

John 15:5 I AM THE VINE, YE ARE THE BRANCHES: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Jesus is the Vine that bears the Root and we as Christians(born again believers in Christ) are the branches.

If Jesus is the Tree that bears the root to which you are connected to as branch, where is generational curse coming from? Is there corruption in Christ?

The man or woman in Christ have been disconnected from all such as generational curses or trends of any sort; we should stop chasing what does not exist in Christ.

You are of another line of geneology now in which Christ Jesus is the root. Your old family tree is gone. It is abolished in Christ,

Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;


We are perishing for lack of knowledge. We are in the world but not of the world, whatever is affecting them should not affect us. If family line curses or illness are wrecking havoc on your blood relations who don't know Christ, your case should be different. This is what sanctification is all about.

Sanctification means, "to set apart as clean, different from amongst the others".

And the bible says in so many places that we have been sanctified,

Heb 10:10 By the which will WE ARE SANCTIFIED through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Heb 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever THEM THAT ARE SANCTIFIED.

1Cor 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and SANCTIFICATION, and redemption:

Jesus is our sanctification!

What can not get to Him should never get to us His children.

You have to believe the Word of God from the above verses, meditate on them so as to get full and conscious of them, and then enforce them in your life if anything appears contrary and see the power of God released to settle the situation.

Whenever you see anything in your life that is contrary to the Word of God concerning you, stand your ground in faith and resist it, rebuking it in the name of Jesus and confessing instead what the Word says.

If you see sickness in your life, rebuke it and confess instead what the Word says and stand on it- not giving it any place by ignorance, doubt or complacency. The Word says,

Matt 8:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

1Pet 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

You have to fight the good fight of faith by declaring and enforcing what the Word says about you.

The good fight of faith is not casting and binding devils and breaking alters and generational curses, illness or bondage that exist only in your mind because of wrong believing. It is laying hold of the Word of God and standing by it, by getting it into your mouth and enforcing it in whatever situation it applies.

As a man thinks in his heart so is he, Pr 23:7.

Your mindset forms what is or what is not permitted in your life. Your most dominant thoughts and believes sets a lid over you that you can never rise above.

Our believes and mindset will only manifest in the physical.

As a believer, you are only seeing the effect or signs of generational patterns in your life because the devil has succeeded in getting you to think the way he wants you to think.

Because the devil knows that, if he can get you to think bondage, poverty and sickness, it will manifest whether you are in Christ or not, because even though God loves you as His child, He will never violet your free will.

This is the good fight. The battle in your mind, imposed by your circumstances.

But we are to stick with the Word, not what we see around us. This is FAITH!

In Christ you already have your healing, you already have you deliverance from anything that ties you to this world and to the kingdom of darkness. You already have victory on every side.

But you see, the devil will try to put them on you because he is a thieve, a killer and a destroyer, John 10:10.

This is why the Word of God tells us to resist him; because he is actually under your feet,

Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL, and HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.
1Pet 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, SEEKING whom he may devour:
1Pet 5:9 WHOM RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.


He is out seeking the believer who will not stand his or her ground in faith, so as to steal, kill or destroy them.

We are to resist him steadfastly in faith, he is under our feet. That where he is,

Rom 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan UNDER YOUR FEET shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

It says, God will bruise him where? under your feet, because that's where he is located. Jesus Christ put him there for us when He defeated him on the cross.

Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph 1:21 FAR ABOVE ALL principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Eph 1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Eph 1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

Eph 2:6 And hath RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOETHER in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

We are seated together with Christ far above the devil, all his kingdom and cohorts.

The tiniest believer in Christ has more authority than all the devils put together, because he is part of the bones and flesh of the body Christ. Hallelujah!

Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

This was suppose to be an in-depth on faith, but the Holy Spirit have led me into the believer's authority.

It is good because it requires faith to enforce our authority over the kingdom of darkness and of this world.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you POWER TO TREAD ON serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


So as a believer in Christ, you are already living in or by faith, because the just shall live by faith, and you already have that life - Eternal life, through faith in Christ. But we have to learn and strive to walk by that faith.

You walk by faith by finding out what and what are already yours in the Word through the finish work of Christ and enforcing them.

You enforce them with the authority given to you in Christ, by first believing the Word, and then resolving to stick to what it says no matter what. By this the manifestation of your faith will grow and grow.

Where you blessed?

Confess this: I live by faith, and I walk by faith, by taking sides together with the Word of God against what might appear true in the physical. I receive Grace to walk by faith and not by what I see, hear or feel.
