Millions lack faith to receive answers to their prayers, struggling to free their minds from fears and worries due to a lack of understanding of what faith truly is. Jesus Himself, foreseeing the almost total absence of faith in our time, asked if He would find faith on the earth at His second coming. The world has nearly lost sight of real faith, leaving many to lament their weak faith or inability to muster it, yet without faith, none can be saved. Jesus possessed faith when He walked the earth, performing miracles not by His own power but through faith in the Father dwelling in Him. The apostles and evangelists of the early Church also performed great miracles through the same power of God's Holy Spirit, living close to God. Today, we lack this power not because God denies it, but because our minds are filled with material interests, far from God due to insufficient study of His Word and earnest prayer. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. It precedes possession, serving as the spiritual evidence that you shall receive what you ask for, even before you see or feel it. Faith is not based on physical senses or feelings but is a spiritual matter, relying on God's Word as proof of His promises. In prayer for needs like healing, faith is the evidence that God will act, not the physical signs of seeing or feeling the result. God does not promise when or how He will fulfill His promises, often delaying to try our faith and teach patience. Faith must remain steadfast, trusting in God's Word until He performs what He has promised, regardless of physical evidence. Faith is simple reliance upon God's Word, the assurance that what He has said is true and that He will act accordingly. It is not about feelings, impressions, or convictions, but about whether God has promised something in His Word. We must trust in His supernatural power, leaving the how and when to Him, believing He will perform His wonders in His way and time. Moreover, faith is a gift from God, not something we must work up or strive for on our own. We must relax and trust Him even for the faith by which we receive everything else. To increase faith, draw closer to God through surrender, doing His will, and much prayer. Through prayer, we come to know Him and the spiritual things, finding a joyous experience in this closeness.
