OVERVIEW OF FAITH
By Dennis Schmidt 3/2007
RETURN TO THE: BIBLE PAPERS HOME PAGE
This paper discusses faith and some of the things God gives us through faith.
There are over 7000 promises in the Bible and we can have them all if we meet God's
conditions. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.
INDUCTIVE COMMENTS:
THEME:
Faith is a gift from God to men. We need faith to please God and to
receive God’s promises.
PURPOSE: To
please God and to receive the promises of God.
KEY VERSE: God is
faithful and wants men to be faithful also.
WHO: God mainly by Bible authors David, Isaiah, Matthew, John, and Paul
TO WHOM: Elected Christians
WHAT: The
prayer, of faith, should be made in the name of Jesus. It should be in the will
of God. A search of God's word on the subject should be made first. A large
number of scriptures have been presented which cover most subjects. Since the
subject is according to the will of God, we can pray with expectation for an
immediate manifestation to result. If it does not we are to hold on to the
request in faith. When you pray, your request should be made once for each subject.
Any additional requests for the same subject would be made in un-belief. Prayer
in the future, on that same subject, should be a praise and thanksgiving prayer
for the finish work. Since the first prayer was done in faith, then the work is
completed in the faith dimension. When God manifests the work, in this
dimension, is in His timing. We are to believe it has been completed already.
When God reveals (manifests) it to this dimension is up to Him.
WHY:
The way to please God is through faith.
Just shall live by faith (4) : Hab.2:4, Rom.1:17, Gal.3:11, Heb.10:38

has been completed already.
Jesus was whipped before going to the cross for our sicknesses and diseases.
His death on the cross was for our sins.
WHEREAS: Faith for meeting our needs and desires.
God promises include conditions on our part. Just as we would not give a child a gun, even if he wants it, God will do only what is good for us. We are to study God's word to find the conditions. Often our conditions are in the same scriptures as the promise.
WHERE:
Earth
WHEN: All Times
WHILE: The source of faith.
WANT: God is true to what He says.
WAIT:
Conditions for receiving God’s
promises.
