The Gift of Faith | Two Minute Daily Devotional

Peter, on the day of Pentecost, talking about Jesus, says, ‘You yourselves know the man, born in Nazareth, His father, His mother, His brothers and sisters. But we know He was different because God demonstrated it by miracles, by signs, by wonders!’ That is the Word of God and I believe everything in the Word of God is true! Either believe it all, or don’t believe any of it! If you start to take bits out of the Bible, what have you left? Even in the Old Testament, how did God deliver Israel out of Egypt? By miracles! How did God cause Israel to repent when they were worshipping Baal in the time of Elijah? By a miracle of fire! We need the power of the Holy Spirit to see miracles! There are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12: – three vocal gifts, speaking with tongues, the interpretation of tongues, and prophecy – three intellectual gifts, the word of knowledge, the word of wisdom, and the discerning of spirits – three practical gifts, the gifts of healing, the working of miracles and the gift of faith. The gift of faith is NOT an intellectual gift! If you see faith as only an intellectual gift, you will never see its power. It is a practical gift; it’s the one I ask for – more than any other gift!
