Spiritual Gift of Faith: The divine enablement to act of God’s promises with confidence and unwavering
belief that God will do what He says He will do. The supernatural ability to see what isn’t, believe it to
be, and trust God to do it in His way and time. The spiritual ability to envision what God wants to
happen and to be certain He is going to do it, even when there is no concrete evidence
6. Distinctives:

Do You Have This Gift?
Have you had the experience of knowing God was performing something before it happened?
Have you had the experience of knowing God’s will with certainty?
Have you been able to go on believing God will act in a situation in spite of evidence to the contrary?
Cautions:
Don’t become depressed or angry when the answer to a prayer is delayed.
Remember that you have faith to act but others might not be able to act on your faith.
Don’t begin to think that it is your faith that is doing mighty things.
Don’t become critical of others who are doubting.
Remember that people who plan, think practically, and speak with reason might not lack faith.
Don’t become preoccupied with any of the spiritual gifts. Keep your relationship with Jesus the most important thing in your life.
