The Gift of Faith

| You say that the church is the determining factor for what happens in a nation. | |
| That's right. | |
| I mean, absolutely. | |
| I believe that because Jesus bestows on the church that legislative capability, if the church is strong, the nation is strong. | |
| And Satan's biggest success, so to speak, is talking the church out of being the church. | |
| And so we have really got to shake ourselves and to speak a truth over ourselves. | |
| I was born for transformation. | |
| I was born to be a solution. | |
| I was born for the liberation of many. | |
| And if you hear yourself saying, you know, I'm nothing and battling low self-esteem, you've got to start a whole new set of decrees because we've got to get back to a biblical default setting of who Jesus says we are. | |
| And that is going to take a little bit of determination. | |
| If you have struggled with focus and determination, I loosed that to you down the camera lens right now. | |
| Your determination and your focus is coming back because God is resetting you in your biblical right place that you may have the mind of Christ, the courage of Christ, and the determination of Christ. | |
| You see, let's just talk about faith. | |
| Yes. | |
| We think in faith, you know, the gift of faith. | |
| And I write about this in the book, you know, oh, you know, I've got to work myself up to believe with strength. | |
| You know, oh, I don't feel very faith-filled. | |
| You know, I really got to, you know, I've got to do better, you know. | |
| But actually, let's have a revolutionary thought about the gift, the gift of faith in Corinthians, because healing is the power of God. | |
| Prophecy is the words of God. | |
| Tongues is the language of God. | |
| Faith is the faith of God. | |
| You can ask for the gift of faith, and it is the same level of faith that God has. | |
| It's the faith of God. | |
| And I think we overlooked it. | |
| And we never thought to say, oh, I need a gift of we thought about, can I have the language of heaven? | |
| We thought, can I have the power of God? | |
| We thought, can I have the words of God? | |
| But did we ever stop and say, look, God, I really need you to explode from within me a gift of faith that has the faith level of God, which of course is what all these gifts are. | |
| They're of God, the faith level of God, that I can stand in situations and believe about that situation exactly what God believes about it. | |
