We conclude that faith is awakened by the message, and the message that awakens it comes through the Word of Christ. NEB

A person can decide or affect their destiny by the words they speak
or hear spoken.

Remember, when the thing in you, becomes as large as the thing opposing you, what is in you will win, good or bad.

Faith has a starting point.
Hebrews 11:6
you can never please God without faith, Living Bible

New English Bible
and what is faith?
Faith gives substance to our hopes, and makes us certain of realities
we do not see.

Hebrews 11:6b
The man who approaches God, must have faith in two things:
first, God exists
second, God rewards those who search for Him. Phillips

Remember, God gives abundantly, to those who search for Him, in
what they are laying hold of through faith.

In review then:
Faith is a position taken or a stand assumed, by a Believer, a Son
of God, which, in the face of facts, situations, oppositions, threats
or troubles, though their senses may observe, they make a quality
decision to look away from what the sense realm reports to them,
and instead look to the realm of Heaven's supply, underwritten by
"It is written".

Amen to that. I agree with this 100%. If you want to see what is in a person's heart, listen to what comes out of their mouth.
