Some people think that faith is the ability to believe anything and everything. Others equate it with positive thinking, strong sentiment or even will-power. But the kind of faith the Bible talks aboutis much more powerful and precise: Faith is believing what God has said.
God is all about faith. That's how He operates. Whenever He speaks, He always expects to see it come to pass. That’s exactly what faith is and how it works. God created us to speak His word and expect to see it happen.

MORE ABOUT JEFF
ABOUT fifteen years ago I asked the Lord to teach me about faith. Now, don't get me wrong. I grew up in a Christian home, received the Lord Jesus Christ at a very early age, and even went to Bible college, where I studied all the major doctrines of "the faith" (along with many minor ones). Even learned about apologetics and how to "defend the faith."
But something was missing. I would see people who had nowhere near the Christian background or Biblical training that I had, but they knew how to grab hold of faith, step out on faith and accomplish great things with their faith. I envied them. Though I knew Jesus, and I understood and appreciated faith as a doctrinal matter, I did not know how to use my faith in the very practical way these folks did.
That's when I asked the Lord, and He began to take me through the "School of Practical Faith." He introduced me to what faith actually is, where it comes from, how it grows and develops and gets strong, and how it operates. He revealed the power of words -- His words -- in my mouth. He showed me that faith requires love and love requires faith. He also taught me how faith partners with patience and develops expectation. He instructed me in the absolute necessity of forgiving others and how that sets my faith free. In short, He taught me the dynamics of faith.
That's what my books and blogs are about. As God has been teaching me, I have been taking notes and sharing with others what I have learned. It is a work in progress, one that will take me the rest of my life, because, now that I've learned how to use my faith in practical ways, the Bible has become even more vibrant and exciting. I'm trading my thoughts for God's, believing His Word for all its worth (and rejoicing at its infinite value). And I'm discovering a host of life-changing, world-changing truths -- things I had never noticed before I learned how to apply my faith.
