Knowing Your Measure of Faith

Faith is measurable because it is a substance, a spiritual substance. God's Word speaks of the different measures of faith - little faith, weak faith, dead faith, increasing faith, strong faith, and great faith. What we need to understand is that faith is measurable, and the appropriate measure of faith is required for there to be success.

Hebrew 11:1 tells us, "Now faith is the SUBSTANCE....." Faith is measurable because it is a substance, a spiritual substance. God's Word speaks of the different measures of faith - little faith, weak faith, dead faith, increasing faith, strong faith, and great faith. What we need to understand is that faith is measurable, and the appropriate measure of faith is required for there to be success. The Holy Spirit will always lead us into success, never into failure. That's why He leads us based on our own measure of faith, for He knows that's the only way to have success. It's when we try to operate beyond our measure of faith that we can fail. Let's move ahead in our understanding and exercising of this dynamic, undeniable, and surpassing force called faith - this force that will not be denied. God is looking for faith to give His answer to - will you take it?
