SPIRITUAL GIFTS CLASS - Healing of the Spirit Ministries

DEFINITION
FAITH (Faith to Heal; Faith to be healed)
The unusual capacity to recognize in a given situation that which God intends to do perhaps generally
and to trust him for it until he brings it to pass.
CHARACTERISTICS
1. Desire to accept God’s promises at face value and to apply them to given situations until God
fulfills them.
2. Most likely expressed through prayer with God, though it may simply be a belief in a vision of
what God can and will do in some situation.
3. When faith turns to knowledge about something future.
4. Recurring experience in the midst of situations to sense that God is going to do something
unusual even though most around you do not have this kind of assurance.
5. The recurring experience of the prayer of faith- that is, time and time again, praying for
something only once and receiving assurance that your prayer has been heard and answered
though long periods of time may elapse before seeing the answer.
6. An unusual desire to know God in fullness and to be cast on him and him alone for solutions to
problems.
7. The thrill of knowing time and time again that God is real because he and he alone has
specifically and in a detailed way answered your prayer requests.
8. Not only have the assurance that God “can” but the he “will” and already “has done so” in
various crises situations.
