The Importance of an Environment of Faith (Episode 103)

When we gather in the house of God and sing songs and pray and hear the Word of God, one of the main objectives is to create an environment of faith in the atmosphere. When faith is in the room, all things are possible. By contrast, unbelief limits—severely limits--what God can do in our life. In one instance, Jesus came to His own country and could do very little works there because of the people’s unbelief.

Stressing the importance of an environment of faith may seem to be an insignificant point to some. That's because the Bible is sufficiently clear about the need for us to have faith in God. Yet, Jesus at times had to rebuke His disciples for their lack of faith. They were with Jesus, they saw His mighty works, and yet they struggled in the area of faith at times. It should be no mystery that the same can be true for Christians today.

Church attendance is a good thing. Regularly reading the Bible is good. But these must be mixed with faith. Faith is the key to experiencing God’s presence and power. Jesus says all things are possible to Him that believes. No one who came to Him with a need and in faith failed to receive what he or she came for.
