It is my experience that the faith of the minister, the congregation, and the person being prayed for all comes into play when seeking God for a miracle. I recognized that a friend or family member had brought someone for prayer and that their faith was strong for the individual to receive a miracle. Then there are those times when I felt the unction of the Holy Ghost directing me to build the faith of the congregation to a place where they could believe God for miracles. In those times I thank the Lord that He has allowed me to know something about faith. Faith is not hope.
Faith is more than making a wish.
Faith goes beyond dreaming. Faith is anticipation. Faith is expectation. Faith believes that what is not will be. Faith is not tied to feelings.
