Have Faith In God

Have Faith in God: Understanding the Foundation of the Believer’s Life

Introduction: A Call to Faith

Welcome to this powerful teaching from Trumpet Call Live Broadcast, where the central message is clear: God has an on-time word just for you. This ministry is committed to spreading the message of light, faith, and healing poweracross the world, encouraging believers to grow deeper in their walk with God.

Faith is not just a topic—it is the foundation of the Christian life. It is how we are saved, how we receive the Holy Spirit, and how we live daily. Without it, the Bible declares plainly: “it is impossible to please God.” This truth alone makes faith one of the most essential subjects for every believer to understand, revisit, and master.

Faith Is Not Part of the Plate—It Is the Plate

Many people misunderstand faith by treating it as just one element of Christianity—like a side dish among many spiritual disciplines. However, this teaching challenges that idea with a powerful revelation:

Faith is not one part of the meal—faith is the plate.

According to Hebrews chapter 4, the Word of God does not profit those who hear it unless it is mixed with faith. This means that no matter how powerful the preaching is, without faith, it produces no result.

Faith is the mechanism through which:

• We receive the Word

• We apply the Word

• We experience the promises of God

Without faith, everything else falls short. With faith, everything becomes accessible.

The Necessity of Faith in Every Area of Life

Faith is not optional. It is required in every aspect of the believer’s journey:

• Salvation comes through faith

• The Holy Spirit is received through faith

• Daily living is sustained by faith

This is why the study of faith must be intentional and ongoing. No matter what topic is being taught—healing, prosperity, holiness, or purpose—it always comes back to one central truth:

We must be able to receive it by faith.

Prayer: Inviting God Into the Teaching

Before diving deeper, the teaching is grounded in prayer—acknowledging that revelation comes from God alone:

• Asking God to take full control

• Seeking revelation knowledge

• Inviting the Holy Spirit to teach and guide

This sets the tone: faith is not just intellectual—it is spiritual and revealed.

What Jesus Accomplished and Why Faith Still Matters

Through His death and resurrection, Jesus accomplished everything necessary for our redemption:

• He satisfied the justice of heaven

• He restored what was lost in Eden

• He gave us back dominion, authority, and power

• He imparted the divine nature of God within us

From God’s perspective, the work is complete.

Yet, there is a visible contradiction:

• Believers still face sickness

• Challenges and struggles still exist

• The effects of the curse seem present

This raises an important question:If everything is already done, why don’t we fully experience it?

The answer is simple but profound:

Everything God has provided must be received by faith.

Accessing Grace Through Faith

Romans chapter 5 explains that:

“By faith we have access into this grace wherein we stand.”

This means:

• Grace provides everything

• Faith accesses everything

Without understanding and mastering faith, a believer can be:

• Redeemed but not walking in victory

• Delivered but not experiencing freedom

• Blessed but not seeing manifestation

Faith Works by Love

Another critical truth is introduced:

Faith does not operate independently—it works by love.

This means:

• You cannot separate faith from love

• A lack of love will hinder faith

• Spiritual growth requires both

Spiritual Laws and Personal Responsibility

Faith operates according to spiritual laws. Just like natural laws govern the physical world, spiritual laws govern how God’s promises manifest.

For example:

• You cannot fly without applying the law of lift

• Likewise, you cannot walk in victory without applying the law of faith

This leads to a personal decision every believer must make:

How much victory do you want to walk in?

Victory is not random—it is learned, pursued, and applied.

Becoming a Student of Faith

The teaching emphasizes a mindset:

• Be willing to learn

• Be willing to grow

• Refuse to blame God when things don’t work

• Commit to understanding spiritual principles

Even when results are not immediate, the response should be:

“There is something I need to learn.”

This humility produces growth and maturity in faith.

The Definition of Faith (Hebrews 11:1)

The foundation scripture is introduced:

Faith is defined as:

• The substance of things hoped for

• The evidence of things not seen

This reveals something powerful:

• Faith is not abstract

• Faith is not imaginary

• Faith is real, tangible, and observable

Faith and Creation: The Invisible Producing the Visible

The Bible explains that:

• The worlds were framed by the Word of God

• What is seen was made from what is unseen

This establishes a pattern:

• God’s Word (invisible) → produces creation (visible)

• Faith (invisible process) → produces manifestation (visible evidence)

Creation itself is proof of God’s invisible power. In the same way:

Faith becomes the visible proof that God’s Word is real.

Faith Is Visible Evidence

Faith is often misunderstood as something invisible, but this teaching corrects that:

• Faith produces actions

• Faith produces movement

• Faith produces evidence

For example:

• When Jesus saw the man lowered through the roof, He saw their faith

• Faith can be seen through behavior and response

An illustration is given:

• Wind cannot be seen

• But when a feather moves, you see the evidence of the wind

In the same way:

• God’s Word is invisible

• But your actions are the visible evidence of your faith

Why There Is a Shortage of Faith Today

One of the most practical insights in this teaching is the diagnosis of modern spiritual struggle:

Distraction is the enemy of faith.

Today’s world is filled with:

• Endless entertainment

• Social media overload

• Constant noise and stimulation

This creates a major problem:

• Believers struggle to focus

• Meditation on the Word becomes difficult

• Spiritual discipline feels unnatural

The Hidden Addiction to Distraction

The teaching draws a powerful parallel between:

• Substance addiction

• Media and entertainment consumption

Just like drugs:

• Entertainment triggers dopamine

• It creates dependency

• It conditions the mind

When a person tries to step away from:

• Social media

• Constant entertainment

They experience:

• Restlessness

• Discomfort

• Mental resistance

This reveals a hidden truth:

Many believers are spiritually distracted and don’t realize they are addicted.

Breaking Ungodly Habits Requires Discipline

Using personal testimony, the teaching explains the difficulty of breaking habits:

• Addiction creates triggers

• The mind associates certain activities with pleasure

• Removing those habits creates discomfort

This applies spiritually as well:

• Replacing entertainment with the Word feels difficult

• Quiet time with God can feel unfamiliar

But the solution is clear:

Obedience is not always painless.

The Cost of True Obedience

The Bible teaches:

• “If your right hand offends you, cut it off”

• “He who suffers in the flesh has ceased from sin”

This reveals a truth many avoid:

Some obedience requires discomfort.

Believers often want:

• Instant deliverance

• Effortless change

But spiritual growth often involves:

• Discipline

• Sacrifice

• Persistence

Learning to Hear God Again

As distractions are removed, something powerful happens:

• The noise fades

• The spirit becomes sensitive

• God’s voice becomes clearer

But getting there requires:

• Breaking habits

• Enduring discomfort

• Re-training the mind
