- Faith requires belief in the heart and declaration with the mouth.
- Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) – “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.”
- Faith is foundational for engaging God and receiving His rewards.
- James 2:17 (KJV) – “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”
- True faith is demonstrated through corresponding actions.
Core Points from the Message
1. The Nature of Bible Faith
Apostle Selman began by defining Bible faith as:
- A conviction based on God’s Word, regardless of physical evidence.
- Action-oriented, requiring believers to step out in obedience.
- Rooted in the integrity of God, who cannot fail or lie (Numbers 23:19).
2. The Process of Faith Manifestation
Faith involves three critical steps:
- Hearing the Word: Faith comes by hearing and understanding God’s Word (Romans 10:17).
- Believing in the Heart: A deep, unwavering trust that what God has said will come to pass.
- Speaking and Acting: Declaring the promises of God and taking steps that align with those declarations.
3. Obstacles to Mountain-Moving Faith
Apostle Selman identified barriers to effective faith, including:
- Doubt and Unbelief: These negate the power of faith and hinder results.
- Fear: Fear contradicts faith and aligns with negative outcomes.
- Ignorance of God’s Word: Faith cannot operate where the Word is unknown or misunderstood.
4. Keys to Activating Mountain-Moving Faith
