The Power of Faith Sermon scripture focus: Mark 11:23:
“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.”
What is faith?
Faith is a spiritual force that moves mountains—but it must be spoken, believed, and acted upon. As we explore the power of faith, keep in mind that your faith shapes your destiny.
8 Facts We Need to Know About Faith
1. God Changes Lives Through Words
Anytime God wants to change someone’s life, He touches the person’s mouth.
What you cannot confess, you cannot possess.
What you say is what you get. According to Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it shall be given to you.” If you don’t ask, you can’t receive—and you can only ask with your mouth.
Your mountain needs to hear your voice.
2. Faith Doesn’t Always Prevent Mountains—It Moves Them
Mountains may still appear, but faith empowers you to speak to them. As Matthew 17:20 says, “If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed… nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
Your need will not move God an inch—but faith will.
3. Faith Is Reflected in Your Words
Your faith will never rise above your words.
As Mark 11:24 declares, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”
If you’re unhappy with your current life, check what you’ve been saying. Kenneth E. Hagin once said:
"The door to the supernatural swings on two hinges—believing and speaking."
4. Faith Requires Action
Faith without action is dead. In its simplest form, faith means acting like the Bible is true.
It has both vocal and physical expression. Luke 5:20 says, “And when He saw their faith…” This shows that the spirit of faith can be seen and heard.
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him…" – Hebrews 11:6
God is a faith God. Faith won’t move anything until it moves you.
5. Faith Is a Team Sport
Faith thrives in community. As Mark Hankins notes:
"If the devil can trick you into being independent, he can get you out of a place of faith." – Smith Wigglesworth
Corporate faith—the kind shared among believers—amplifies spiritual results.
6. What You Hear Builds Your Faith
Faith is deeply affected by what enters your ears. Romans 10:17 says:
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
The Word of God must be heard consistently to grow strong, immovable faith.
7. Faith Works by Love
"Faith is activated, energized, expressed, and works through love." – Galatians 5:6 (AMP)
Kenneth E. Hagin put it this way: A step out of love is a step out of God.”
So, the biggest enemy of faith is unforgiveness. When you’re walking in love, you also walk in joy and peace—fruit the enemy cannot replicate. Develop the fruit of the Spirit, and you will overcome.
8. The Spirit of Faith Is a Pioneer Spirit
"By faith Abraham… went out, not knowing whither he went." – Hebrews 11:8
The spirit of faith pushes you to leave your comfort zone. It launches you into purpose even when you don’t have all the answers. Faith always leads forward—it is the fuel of obedience.
Final Thoughts On Power Of faith sermon
As you reflect on these eight truths, remember: faith is more than belief—it’s a lifestyle. Speak it. Act it. Live it. Because without it, it is impossible to please God.
