Today a new perspective of faith, fresh revelation, has been released from heaven.  Our eyes have been opened to the fact that “Faith is not something that you do, it’s something that you have.”  Most people have been preoccupied with working hard to do the “faith thing”.  Others pray  hard in order to receive faith.  That’s unscriptural, beause  faith comes by hearing.  (Ro. 10:17)     It just comes, and besides hearing, you have nothing to do, at all, with it coming.  The key is to stay conditioned to hear.  Be in a place to hear so that faith can come.  Do you have hearing ears?  As long as you’re hearing, it is the work of God based on laws and principles that makes faith come.  You see, when one hears God talk, faith automatically comes to him or her.  So,  where’s the struggle?  There is none!   When faith comes, it brings with  it a visionary image.  It’s important to hold the focus (visionary image), even in the midst of negative circumstances that try to superimpose another picture.  This second picture is produced by doubt and unbelief.  Therefore,  you must hold the visionary image that faith originally produced.  Therefore, you can walk by faith without wavering as you keep your faith produced, visionary image right in front of you.  This is a new perspective of faith.
