Heart Faith is what is required to Receive from God.
Head Faith is assent. It is superficial and cannot connect with the Spirit Realm.
When what your head assents to becomes a part of who you are then you operate in Heart Faith.
Heart Faith connects the Physical Realm with the Spirit Realm.
Heart Faith comes by Hearing the Word of God until there is Spiritual Revelation of its Truth and Power.
That Spiritual Revelation transforms your Mind to that of Christ`s.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night. -
The Law of the Lord in the New Covenant are His Promises.
Meditate on them until they become evidence and substance.
Faith is not mental. Faith is of the heart. by Barry Bennett
With the heart man believes, not with the head ().
Stubbornness is not faith, though true faith will produce perseverance.
Faith is not knowledge about faith. Knowing something is true and becoming stubborn is not the same as “hearing” from God and walking in peace, conviction and assurance.
In the area of healing many have confused their knowledge of God’s will for faith.
While knowledge is important, it is not faith.
Faith has only one source; hearing God () .
We must be quickened by the Holy Spirit ().
Faith is spiritual (), not emotional.
The God kind of faith (faith activated by hearing Him) does not fail.
When true faith is activated in the area of healing, sickness and disease must submit.
Healing begins. You will get better, not worse.
There is no condemnation if you aren’t truly in the God kind of faith.
Don’t let stubbornness kill you.
Do what you can in the natural to stay alive and improve, and stay in the presence of the Lord until you have divine assurance of what you are to do.
God is faithful and loves us. His promises are always yes and amen.
The Heart: The Factory of Faith by Barry Bennett
Our hearts determine our lives. How our hearts respond to God and His Word will set the course for failure and frustration, or the abundant life that Jesus has promised.
Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. ()
Many times our failure to receive from God is a revelation of how we are truly relating to Him with our hearts.
We can know the right doctrine, be convinced of Truth and rejoice in His grace, but if our hearts are hard toward Him, we are deceiving ourselves.
Moreover He said to me: “Son of man, receive into your heart all My words that I speak to you, and hear with your ears.” ()
Faith is a heart issue. Our hearts are the factory of faith. Our struggles with faith are really just an indication of a hardened heart. That doesn’t mean we have malice toward God necessarily, but that we haven’t learned what it means to relate to God and His Word from the heart.
“For with the heart one believes unto righteousness…” ().
We could add any aspect of redemption to that verse. “For with the heart one believes unto……healing, peace, joy, victory, etc.” Out of the heart are the issues of life. From the heart spring words, thoughts, actions and attitudes.
Depression is a heart issue. “Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad.” ()
Healing is a heart issue. “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.” ()
Peace is a heart issue. “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts.” ()
Being double-minded is a heart issue. "... purify your hearts, you double-minded." ()
The list could go on. How we relate to God’s Word in our hearts will determine the course of our lives. “Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.” ()
Make sure your heart is soft before God. Is His Word the joy of your heart? Are you living a life of peace or anxiety?
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
