Guest David Kandole – Walking in Faith

Episode #19: Dave Kandole – Walking in Faith 1. Faith is Not an Object – It is a Relationship Faith is not something you "use" or "hold onto"—it is a byproduct of knowing God. Faith is about walking with God, not just believing for things. Many people treat faith as a tool to "get things" from God rather than a way to walk in relationship with Him. 2. Elisha's Relationship with God – Faith in Action Elisha operated in faith because of his deep connection with God. He did not ask God to do things—he simply commanded things to happen. Examples from Elisha's life: 2 Kings 4:1-7 – The widow's oil multiplied. 2 Kings 4:32-35 – He raised a dead boy to life. 2 Kings 6:17 – He prayed for his servant's eyes to be opened to see the angelic army. Elisha did not repeat confessions over and over—he simply acted. Lesson: Faith flows from knowing God personally, not from religious formulas. 3. Faith is Fellowship with God Faith is not about saying the right words—it's about knowing who God is. Faith is about walking with God. Faith is about knowing God personally. Faith is about fellowshipping with God daily. God already knows what you need before you ask Him (Matthew 6:8). Faith is not convincing God to act—it is trusting that He already has a plan for your needs. 4. Faith in the Old Testament – A Walk with God In the Old Testament, there was no talk of "having faith"—only walking with God. The great men and women of faith in Hebrews 11 were commended because they walked with God. Abraham walked with God and was called righteous. Noah walked with God and built an ark before seeing the rain. Moses walked with God and led Israel out of Egypt before seeing the Red Sea part. Lesson: True faith is not just believing for things—it is trusting God enough to walk with Him daily. 5. Knowing God's Character Brings Confidence You can have a relationship with the Father without knowing all His benefits. Many believers know God but don't know what He has promised them. You study the Word to know the character of God, not just His blessings. Knowing who God is builds your confidence in Him. Example: If you truly trust that God is a healer, you won't doubt His willingness to heal you. 6. Asking and Receiving – Matthew 7:7-11 Matthew 7:7-11 – Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened. God is a loving Father who desires to give good gifts. If earthly parents give good gifts, how much more will God give to His children? Faith is not about begging God—it is about knowing He already desires to bless you. 7. The Dangers of Lack of Knowledge Hosea 4:6 – My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Many believers struggle not because of a lack of faith, but a lack of knowledge. Lack of knowledge = lack of confidence in God's promises. Many don't know what belongs to them in Christ. Healing, provision, peace, and joy are part of the relationship with the Father. 8. God is After Relationship, Not Just Religious Actions God's ultimate desire is not just to bless you, but to know you. Faith is not just about getting from God—it is about being with Him. When you know Him, faith becomes natural. Final Thoughts Faith is not an object—it is a relationship with God. Elisha demonstrated faith by walking with God and simply acting. The great people of faith in the Bible walked closely with God. We study the Word to know God's character, not just His blessings. God wants us to ask boldly because He is a loving Father. Lack of knowledge is what keeps many people from walking in faith. Faith is about knowing and trusting God—not just receiving from Him.
