A Working Knowledge of Faith
by Kenneth Copeland
I’m about to make a statement that may shock you, but according to the Bible it’s the absolute truth: As a born-again believer, you have enough faith inside you right now to receive anything God has promised you in His WORD.
That’s right. No matter how you feel about it, whether or not you’ve seen much evidence of it, you already have all the faith you’ll ever need. You have faith to receive God’s abundant provision. You have faith to walk in His supernatural BLESSING. You have faith to do everything in life He’ll ever call you to do, because residing in your reborn spirit at this very moment is the very faith of God Himself. He deposited it in you the moment you received Jesus as LORD.
The New Testament confirms it. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). “For…God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3).
As thrilling as it is to have the God kind of faith, however, for that faith to produce results in your life, you can’t be content just to “have” it. You must also develop a working knowledge of how it operates.
There’s a big difference between those two.
