DEGREES OF FAITH #3
INSUFFICIENT FAITH

1.THE FAITH THAT WINS THE WORLD – 1 John 5:4
Faith is a God-fashioned lifestyle that brings positive results to our lives and overcomes problems, sickness, poverty, etc.
Faith is a force that brings to bear all that Jesus has already paid for on the cross.
Faith only comes by hearing and listening to the Word of God.
Having faith is not just about believing that God exists;
Having faith is about doing more than believing that God exists.

QUANTITIES /GRADES OF FAITH
Zero faith = no faith
Small faith = not enough/worries
Big faith = produces results

2.SMALL FAITH = INSUFFICIENT
It is a type of faith that is not enough to remove the mountain in front of you:
– a big illness;
– a big debt;
– a big pandemic;
– a big crisis;

3.Peter walked on the water – Matthew 14:23-31
Peter walked on the water while looking at Jesus.
When he took his eyes off Jesus and onto the problem, he sank.
Peter had insufficient faith because he could not reach Jesus.

4.THE CORRECT ATTITUDE OF FAITH IN THE ACT OF FAITH
Take your eyes off the problem and put them on Jesus:
– Do not look at the problem;
– look at Jesus;
– at the Word of God.

Faith in the midst of adversity is us looking to God’s word – what Jesus says;

2 Corinthians 4:18
2 Corinthians 5:7

Do not be moved by your emotions, feelings, pain but:
– by what you see;
– by adverse circumstances;
– by problems;
– poverty;

Faith is not:
– ignoring the problem;
– pretending the problem does not exist;

Faith is knowing that the illness/problem exists, but I decide to look to the Word of God;
