STEPS OF FAITH: What Ignites the Miraculous, and Provisions Most Christians Are Praying For

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A man prayed for nine years for permission to walk through a door that had never been locked. Many sincere Christians live by a sentence they have never said aloud: if I pray hard enough and long enough, God will eventually give in. It assumes a reluctant Father, and it keeps believers petitioning for years without result. Steps of Faith replaces that assumption with the truth Jesus taught: "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." It then shows how faith actually takes hold of what God has promised, through seven movements: Hear, Believe, Speak, Prepare, Move, Stand, and Receive. In forty chapters across five parts (Foundation, Asking, Imagination & Initiative, Trust, and Harvest), you will learn: · The four counterfeits of faith, and who you are when you ask. · The power of the spoken word, and how to pray the promise, not the problem. · Why the sanctified imagination matters, and how to break the "grasshopper" self-image. · The corresponding action faith requires: digging the ditches, stepping into the Jordan, filling the jars. · How to stand through silence, doubt, and delay, and why forgiveness and thanksgiving come before the answer. · What provision is really for, faith for the body, favor and open doors, and what to do when the answer doesn't come. The book closes with a Forty-Day Practice, Promises Indexed by Need, Confessions for Every Need, and guidance for standing in faith with someone else. Written by a pastor, and rich in Scripture, Steps of Faith is for every believer ready to stop petitioning and start trusting. Faith is not a feeling. It is a step.
