Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Yesterday I received email from an evangelist/pastor asking me to pray that "their" faith would grow.
I replied: "You don't need prayer ... What you need for faith to grow is this: Pay attention to the word given by the Spirit of God. Think on that Word. Apply that Word to your life, doing that which is appropriate in accordance to that Word. Then after you have done that Word, tell others about that Word and how you applied it to your life."
This is the way faith grows.
It is very simple. Here is an example of faith.
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 4So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; Gen. 12
First, God spoke to Abraham. First you must have a Word from God before you can act on it. You can't have faith by deciding you want to do something and heading out to do it. First God must tell you to do it.(faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17)
Second, you must believe that which is spoken to you by God. (But try the spirits, whether they are of God. I Jn. 4 Some words are not of the Spirit of God but are from "another" spirit.)
Third, after you come to believe that Word, you act on that word. (Faith without works is dead. I Jn. 2)
Fourth, after hearing and doing share that word with others and what you did with that word. That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Philemon v. 6
