Kenneth E. Hagin's Faith Food for today said this:
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith" (Rom. 12:3).
"Faith - that's what I want!" many people say to me. "And I'm praying that God will give it to me."
If that's what you're doing, you're wasting your time. It would do no more good to pray that God will give you faith than it would to twiddle your thumbs and recite Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.
Praying for faith is lost motion and wasted time, because every believer already has a measure of the God-kind of faith. You don't have to get it. You don't have to pray for it. You don't have to fast for it. You don't have to promise to do better and be good to get it. You already have it!
Romans 12:3 tells us that we have been given a certain measure of the God-kind of faith! What we DO with that faith will determine how much of the BLESSING of God we are able to walk in in this life! We have the opportunity to grow our faith so that it becomes a strong and vital force in our every day lives, enabling us to walk in the fullness of the new and better Covenant (Hebrews 8:6)! Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing the Word of God! Find out what God's Word says about everything that you are praying about. Meditate on those promises and faith for the Bible answer will grow and keep on growing! Stop hearing the Word of God and your faith will shrink and become smaller and weaker. WE are in total control of the level of faith that is operating in our lives! Make the adjustments needed now to become a mighty person of faith, bringing glory to HIS Name! Amen! Here is an older song from Hillsong called "Faith":
Shalom in Him!
