THE SIMPLICITY OF FAITH

HOLINESS CONFERENCE 2025

Key Verses:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

‭‭— Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬; KJV‬‬

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

“And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

“If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.”

‭‭— John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬; KJV‬‬

“And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

“Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.”

‭‭— John‬ ‭16‬:‭23‬-‭24‬; KJV‬‬

No one can hear well done if he hasn't done anything well. Faith is the answer to the problems we have in our hearts. Faith makes us know sin is a hindrance. Faith makes us know that only a fruitful life pleases The LORD.

We know GOD through faith. We accept the finished work on the Cross by Faith. We know there is a Heaven and a hell by faith. We live by faith.

LEVELS OF FAITH:

- No Faith—Mark 4:40;

- Mustard Seed Faith—Matthew 17:20;

- Little Faith—Matthew 6:30; With little faith, you cannot fully trust GOD.

- Faith that removes mountain—Mark 11:22-24; Rom. 4; The faith of GOD calls things that do not exist as if they exist, calling those things we see not as they are.

SOME EXAMPLES OF SIMPLE FAITH:

- Abraham—Genesis 12:1;

In GOD, there is nothing like a coincidence or accident but everything has been programmed by Him.

- Moses—He was called into ministry at the age of 80. Exodus 14:13,14; When Jesus says move, move. When He says stay here, do that even if you don't understand. Don't allow people to put fear into you. Only obey Jesus because He is the final authority.

- Joshua—He was able to tell the sun to stand still and it had to obey Joshua—Joshua 10;

- David—David's faith in GOD made him defeat Goliath though he, Goliath, was a man of war from his youth.

- Elijah—Elijah made a decree that it will not rain except by his word and it happened. (1 Kings 17:1)

- Jehoshaphat—2 Chronicles 20;

THE BACKBONE OF FAITH:

◇ I must be born again because, it is a must—John 3:3;

◇ Understand the Nature, Attributes and Character of GOD.

◇ Know The GOD you are serving—Daniel 11:32b.;

◇ Know who you are in CHRIST.

◇ See every situation around you as GOD sees it.

In conclusion, whenever a problem comes, say that, “Before the problem comes, GOD has already prepared a solution.”

Amen!
