Begining with Faith and ending with Faith ( Romans 1:17, Acts 9:1-8, Acts 9:15-22, Acts 13:2-4)
 
4 Types of faith. Use life of Paul as an example. God wants us to have faith.
Without faith, we cannot do God` work and cannot follow our life as a Christian.
Romans 1:17 " For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed- 
a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: 
The righteous will live by faith."
 
Meaning of Faith- Hebrews 11:1 " Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about
what we do not see." We are confident and have confidence to follow Jesus. Do we have enough faith?
Is faith difficult to have? It is not difficult to have faith. In fact its very difficult not for us to believe. Our beliefs
are from God or do we have it within us? 
-It`s given by God, offered by God. Romans 12:3  
" For by grace given me I s every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, 
but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you."
- It comes from us  Hebrews 11:6 " And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must
believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."
God shows to us, so we should reply with belief. We see through the eyes of the Holy Spirit, not with our own eyes.
It is not difficult to believe in God. We are in a world that have many signs from God. Look at nature, in a world with
so much beauty in the creations of God. God create the world and gave more than what we need to survive. Why?
So that we will have faith in Him.             
 
                                                                                                                             1. Saving Faith (4-6) Faith just to be saved from our sins. We are sinners, we need to be saved,and the cross bridges us to God.   Jesus comes to cleanse us from our sins on the cross.
 
2. Healing Faith ( Acts 9:17-18, Luke 10:9, Mark 16:17-18, Acts 14:8-10, 19:12)  Faith to help cure and heal.
Saul was blinded for 3 days. Ananias put his hands on Saul and scales fell from his eyes and Saul could see again.                                                                                                                                                                 
The medicines we have are mainly manufactured from the nature that God created. God also gives the gift
of healing to some people, example the disciples of Jesus. The promise of Jesus says that if the disciples lay
hands on people and p, they can heal as well as drive out spirits. We as believers have to have faith in Jesus,
that we also have the power to heal when we lay hands and pray. 
 
3. Living Faith ( Acts 9:24-25, Hebrews 10:37-38, Matthew 6: 25-33) Faith for living life.
Covid Pandemic makes us worried., also worried financially. God says do not worry, the birds in the sir and the flowers in
the fields, if God takes care of them, what more would he take better care of us, so we should not be worrying.
" But my righteous one will live by faith. And I take no pleasure in the one who shrinks back." Hebrews 10:38
Seek God, and He will take care of everything. Because of God`s promise, we can sleep peacefully.
 
4. Pioneering Faith (Acts 13:2-4) To do God`s work, and to serve God.
It may be beyond our abilities, but God will ensure we will be the best, from His gift that He bestows upon us.
God will open our eyes on what we can do.
Faith is the response to the manifestation of God!
