What To Do When You Don’t Have Enough Faith
Receive powerful faith that will cause you to possess the promised land of God’s blessings! In this foundational sermon by Joseph Prince, see from Scripture how having faith is simply about having a good opinion of the Lord, and discover how easily faith can be imparted to your heart for you to receive the healing, practical provision, and breakthroughs you need. Learn how you can:
- Live a favor-filled, victorious life when you believe that every blessing you need has been fully paid for by our Lord Jesus at the cross.
- Experience God’s miracle-working power working in you and through you when you have a good opinion of Him and trust in His love for you.
- Keep on listening to the good news of the gospel and see faith effortlessly spring forth in your heart to receive your miracle of healing and provision.
- Believe right about the promises in God’s Word and watch the Holy Spirit bear witness to His truth with signs, wonders, and miracles.
Beloved, allow your heart to be persuaded that God is good to you and He loves you, and begin to possess every blessing that is yours through Jesus’ finished work!
What is the one thing that God wants from us that will cause Him to bypass 1000 people and zero in on you with favor and delight.
What is that one thing? Faith, the Bible says without faith, it’s impossible to please God.
Faith always gets God’s attention. Why? Because faith justifies God and makes the devil a liar.
On the other hand, unbelief justifies Satan and makes God appear to be a liar.
Listen carefully, right? It’s all right.
If you are battling with unbelief and doubt in your heart, but expose yourself to the word of Christ, expose yourself to the word of God because you don’t have faith.
Faith cometh. How does faith come by hearing and hearing and hearing? The idea? There is keep on hearing.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ.
And again, the context there is hearing through a preacher because you keep on reading.
It says, how shall they hear without a preacher?
Now today we say we can hear God direct, we can hear God direct. Yeah.
But but there is also a danger that you think you are hearing God, but there is always safety when the preacher preaches openly, right.
His message is uh it can be uh uh openly tested. Amen, scrutinized by everyone. Amen.
Whether it’s in line with the scripture or not. Amen. There’s safety there.
And that faith that comes by hearing is hearing the word of God from the mouth of a preacher is the preach word that brings faith.
Hallelujah. Faith is the rest. Rest means it’s not you putting in the effort to produce that work.
It’s not you behaving right. Then you receive from God. Amen. It’s not based on all that anymore.
It is based on the work of another.
Now, when you see that, when you believe, right, you will live, right?
It’s always that but it’s not the other way around. It’s not by living, right?
You end up believing, right? No, no, it’s the other way around. Friend. Amen.
If you believe right, you will always live right. Amen.
Even if you fall away, you will never forget because you have belief, right?
What is the right way with God’s true nature? Amen. The prodigal son had some believing, right?
When he was in the pig pan, he said of his father. And this is believing, right?
The father is that generous. The father is that kind.
And he said in my father’s house, there’s bread enough and to spare.
Even though all the hired servants, they eat well.
And he believed right about his father, that’s what motivated him to turn towards God.
And that’s why it’s so important for us to have a good opinion of God because faith is also a good opinion of God.
Amen. Like like Sarah, true faith, Sarah receives strength to conceive seed, the word strength there is Sarah receives strength to conceive seed.
Why it says true faith, Sarah receive strength, dynamite, power to conceive seed when she was past the age of child bearing.
Now notice through faith. So let’s say faith is a good opinion of God.
Let’s replace the word faith there.
And we won’t do injustice to the scripture there because faith is a good opinion of God through a good opinion of God.
Sarah received strength to conceive seed. Holiness is not the reason for us possessing our promised land.
If if Israel had gone by their uh holiness, amen. They will never, never have entered the land.
No, it was their unbelief that kept them from the promised land. It’s very clear. They didn’t believe God.
They didn’t believe the spies when they came back and said this land flows with milk and honey flows my friend.
The idea of super abundance, flowing with milk and honey. They didn’t believe it was unbelief.
And the Bible says very clearly in Hebrews four. So we see they could enter in because of unbelief.
And the word there is from the Greek word are unpersuaded.
They are not persuaded the opposite of faith, unbelief.
They didn’t believe their heart is not persuaded that God is so good.
In fact, they said uh in Deron one because the Lord hated us.
He will not bring us into the land. The Lord hated us. He’s gonna deliver us to the enemy.
They didn’t believe in the love of God for us.
And many believers today, they’re not possessing the land because they have a bad opinion of God.
You know, Sarah receives strength to conceive seed.
And uh it was because she had a good opinion of God that even though she’s past the age of child bearing faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ.
Hallelujah. She believed the word of uh uh the preacher amen.
And, and you know that the preacher actually came to their house one day with two angels and told Abraham this time next year, Sarah were conceived and Sarah laughed.
So unbelief was actually part of her initial response. But, but later on, she trusted God.
She came to a place of being persuaded, fully persuaded that God will do the good things that he said he will do for her.
Amen. Thank you Jesus. I wanna share with you a testimony talking about uh Sarah conceiving, you know, seed in her old age.
Here is a testimony from a lady that just came in as a sister from our church.
And she says, my husband and I had had a desire for a baby for many years.
In 2019, I decided to go for an I V F as I was getting older.
However, it was not successful. In 2020 I tried again and failed again.
I was sad and also lost.
It was during an online service on Sunday eight November 2020 Pastor Prince prayed over someone for a fruitful womb and I immediately claimed the blessing for myself.
He also mentioned that God would resurrect the womb regardless of age. I felt so encouraged.
After the prayer in late 2020 I received the news that I was pregnant with twins.
My baby boys were born healthy in July.
This year, God has completed my family with not one but two babies. Praise God.
We have a picture here of the twins, beautiful twins. Hallelujah.
You see this lady had faith that in spite of her, her age, yet she believed she believed in God.
What did she believe about God? That God wants to give her a baby even in spite of her age?
Praise the Lord. Now, how did she believe that? She believed that?
Because she kept on hearing the word from a preacher. In this case, it’s me amen.
But imagine if the preacher says this right?
Don’t you know, you know, let’s, let’s not raise people’s hopes up and let’s not, you know, when they’re a certain age and all that don’t, don’t like believe, make them believe God, they’ll be disappointed.
But the Bible says, you know, faith is the substance of things hoped for.
People say things like don’t raise people’s hopes. But the Bible says, faith is the substance of things hoped for.
If we don’t hope for it and hope always has got to do with the future, right?
Faith has got to do with now. But faith is the substance of things hoped for.
If you don’t hope for it and hope Bible, hope, peace.
The Greek word is always a positive expectation of good in our future.
If we raise people’s hopes, praise the Lord, we raise it up scripturally based on the word of God, they will never be disappointed.
There’s a verse that says this hope that make us not ashamed or hope that does not disappoint why?
Because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts, we know and we are assured that God loves us, praise God.
So I me to keep on believing, if you’re believing God for a baby, amen, regardless of your age, just like this sister here in the name of the Lord Jesus, receive this prayer right now in the name of the Lord Jesus, I speak fruitfulness to your womb and I speak fruitfulness to your husband.
In the name of Jesus, you shall conceive and bring forth a child to the glory of God in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
And you will mark this sermon because this is a time you receive from the Lord, this miracle.
Now you are pregnant with a miracle, not yet with the baby, but it, it shall manifest in the days to come in.
Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Receive that receive that I felt, felt inspired, right?
Led by the spirit to pray that for you, praise the Lord.
Yeah, the promised land, the land of the Bible, the very land through which our Lord himself walked.
