Seven Types Of Faith

The first kind of faith mentioned in the Bible is great faith. It's the story of the centurion, who came to Jesus. And he said to Jesus, "Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed and is suffering terribly". Jesus said, "Well I will go and heal him". And the centurion said, "No. Lord, I have authority over a hundred Roman soldiers", hence the word centurion, "But I recognize that you have authority in heaven and in earth. If you will just speak the word", now this is word for word out of the Bible, "If you speak the word, my servant will be healed". And Jesus said, "I have not seen such great faith in all of Israel". And it came from a Roman soldier. Great faith was saying, "Lord, you have authority over sickness and disease". His great faith was saying, "You have authority over death, hell, and the grave. You have authority over demon spirits. You have authority over winds and waves".

The Lord Jesus Christ has authority over fear and doubt that haunt you. He has authority over kings and over presidents. He has authority, and nothing is impossible with God. Saints of God, God is waiting for you to speak the word of faith, to speak it boldly, to speak it specifically. Say what you want, when you want it, who you want it to happen for, in Jesus' name, and the mountains of impossibility will be cast into the sea.

Great faith can pray from a great distance. You can pray for someone across town or on the other side of the world. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. Faith is the currency of heaven. Faith sees the invisible. Faith conquers the impossible. Faith is the voice that sings in the darkness, waiting for the glorious dawn of a new day. "Have faith in God". That's God's request. "Have faith in God". Say that with me. "Have faith in God". Give the Lord praise!

When you have great faith, your faith is aggressive. When you settle for second best, you don't have aggressive faith. Great faith is determined. The three Hebrew children were before Nebuchadnezzar and the huge statue that he had built. And all were told to bow and worship this statue. The three Hebrew children only recognized Jehovah God. And they looked at the world's most powerful man, who had this huge, blazing furnace going that had already burned people who had started the fire to death! They looked him in the eye and said, "O king, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us out of your hand". That's bold faith. Hello, America. We, the people of the United States and even in the church, are bowing to pagan Gods. Socialism is a pagan God. It will destroy this nation. What is your confession? Our confession is, "In God we trust. We hold these things to be self-evident: that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights: that among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". That is our declaration, and so help us God: we will achieve that.

A second kind of faith is natural faith, natural faith. When you're traveling, and you get on an airplane, you have faith that the pilot knows the difference between Chicago and Cuba. When you vote for the president of the United States, you have faith that he will honor "The constitution of the United States of America," the right to assemble, the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, America first. Why shouldn't America be first? Natural faith. You have faith that your doctor knows the difference between a tonsillectomy and a hysterectomy. They sound a lot alike. but there's lots of difference. You have faith in your lawyer, in your banker, in your insurance man. Why not have faith in God, who never fails: God, who is ever present: God, who is Almighty: God, who has never failed you, you can't find a person on planet earth that says God has failed them, whose awesome power has been given to you. Faith is the victory that overcomes every barrier you're ever going to face. Have faith in God!

The third kind of faith is mustard seed faith. Matthew 17:20, and Jesus said unto them, "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say unto this mountain, 'be cast into yonder place,' and it shall be removed. And nothing shall be impossible to you". Say that with me. "And nothing shall be impossible to you," Matthew 17:20. Mustard seed faith is pure faith. Mustard seed faith will mix with nothing without transforming the taste of that substance. Think of a hot Jalepeño Pepper in the middle of beans. You can't put it in the beans without it affecting everything. The mustard seed is small, but it's pure. It never, ever waivers. It's small but has the power to put mountains into the sea. Little is much when God is in it. When you have pure faith, God will do the impossible for you.
