Apostle Hama
|
1.
Weak Faith – Everyone begins here. Weak faith considers circumstances.
It constantly limits God and His benefits. Wrong teachings are an
influence here. It cannot see the Spirit, the power of God, or that God
can do all things.
2. Temporary Faith – As we grow stronger, we
receive the Word of God for awhile, and believe, but then fail when
tests come. (Luke 8:15)
3. Active Faith – Faith without works is
dead (James 2:14-26) We need to do more than just believe, since even
the demons believe and tremble. The apostles acted on their faith,
preached the gospel, and did good works.
4. Strong faith – This is a faith that staggers not at God’s promises.
One refuses defeat, and will not take no for an answer. The person
speaks out loud to the devil, rebuking him, and releases God into
action.
5. Great Faith – has a great expectation, that just hearing
the word is enough for the request to be granted. As in the centurion,
who said “you only need to speak the word, and my servant will be
healed.” He did not even ask Jesus to come. His words were enough. (Matt
8:10)
6. Unfeigned faith –(genuine) – It knows no hypocrisy. It
does not brag or put on a show. (2 Tim 1:5) Very childlike, trusting and
innocent, and is well founded in the Word of God.
7. Perfect (divine) faith – Absolute confidence in God’s own Word and Being.
