Faith in God is the ability to HEAR what God said, CONFESS it and ACT or DO it without minding any other fact.
Mental Assent or Faith without Work is the ability to HEAR what God said, CONFESS it and without action or doing it based on another human factor.
The basic thing to note is, at every point in time in everyone’s life, he/she is confessing what he/she hears that he believes and actions or doing always follows confession.
James 1:17 “Faith that doesn’t lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead!” CEV
I think what has confused many believers in Faith issue is they think that if they quote those beautiful words of God allowed, the result will come.
or
Some quote beautiful words they like that cannot be found in the Bible, not what God said.

The Faith that will produce result must go with action.
For example, in John 2:1 – 9. A very good example of faith with action took place. The actions here that produces the miracle are:
1. Jesus mother believe in what Jesus can do, so she went and pray (talk) to Jesus.
2. Jesus said (HEAR what God said), “fill the waterpots with water”, “draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast”. The acting on what God said (Acting on the word or Do), they filled the pot and drew to the master of the feast. The miracle took place. It will always work, anywhere, anytime. It does not fail.
SIMPLE STEPS TO GET FAITH IN GOD
Romans 10:17
“So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.” NLT
No one can have faith without hearing the message about Christ. CEV
Faith in God comes from only one source, that is, the message about Christ Jesus. Faith does not have any other source. Even prayer and fasting does not give faith to a believer.
Imagine in the above example we gave where Jesus turned water to wine, where you are in need of wine and not water and Jesus said to you “fill the waterpots with water” and “draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast”, Will you act on Jesus instruction?
Let us also imagine that after Jesus gave the instruction, the disciples went to prayers and fasting instead of acting. And their prayer point is “oh Lord, help me to believe for the water to turn into wine”. Do you think that their prayer will make any good?
The disciples acted even against human facts. In human or science logic, they took risk. What if they get to the master of the feast and the water still remains water and not the expected win?
Faith Principles:
– Hear God’s word (read or listened)
– Claim it (confession) and
– Act on the promise you heard.
Note: it must be God’s word that you will act, not what you think, feel or facts.

Faith, then, is not faith until confession comes from the lips, it is mental assent. Mental assent becomes faith by action or confession. Most of what we call “faith” is mental assent to the great fundamentals of the Word.
You need healing, search out in the Bible where God promised healing, confess you are healed and act as a healed person and you will be healed. No mater the name of the sickness, it must surely go. Surprisingly, God’s promises on healing are always past tense (healed). It Means, He has healed you already, all you need is to collect it by acting. The principle of Faith: Hear God’s promises, claim it (confession) and Act on the promise you heard.
In a faith walk, confessing the word goes with acting the word. Confession energizes the spirit to act.
Romance 10:9-10 “For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”
The miracle of salvation comes by hearing and doing. When you read or HEAR the Message of Christ, you believe on Christ as Savior and Lord, then you confess Jesus. Here confession (verb or action) leads to salvation miracle.
Confession is faith’s confirmation. To constantly affirm the things that God is to you and you are to God, and the things you are in Christ and what Christ is in you, is to give faith the wings to reach higher altitudes in the spiritual experiences.
Some Bible Verses About Faith That Will Help you
Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Luke 7:6-9
Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. Therefore, I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
Matthew 21:22
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Luke 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Mark 11:22-24
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
2 Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
James 1:5-8
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 2:18-26
18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Hebrews 11:1 – 6
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
