Blessings to all my brothers in SteemChurch and all the other parishes @sc-v @sc-n @sc-g!
Faith has to work, if it is not working we must examine ourselves and try to see if we are really walking in faith.
"Examine yourselves if you are in the faith, test yourself, or do you not recognize that Jesus Christ is in you, if not you are already reprobate." (2 Cor 13,5)
This example below was from a church that walked in faith, but still Paul prayed to the Lord to repair the deficiencies of the faith.
So that thanksgiving we can give to God for you, for all the joy with which we rejoice because of you before our God, pray day and night, with the maximum commitment, see you in person and correct the deficiencies of your faith? (1 Thessalonians 3.9 -10)
Another important point to ground our faith is in PRAYER. Consider the following:
If all that happens is because "God wanted it like that" he advances to pray? Why make choices? What is the use of going to church?
Prayer is the interference between heavens and earth made by man. Prayer of Consecration: His will be done...
And he received the sign of the circumcision as a seal of the justice of the faith that he had when he was still uncircumcised; to become the father of all those who believe in uncircumcision, so that they will be imputed to righteousness, and the father of circumcision, that is, those who are not only circumcised, but who also follow the footsteps of the faith of Abraham, our father, before being circumcised. (Romans 4, 11-12)
We must walk in the very footsteps of Abraham, our Father in Faith. He is willing not to rely on anything visible (physical), but on the Word. There has been a willingness to renounce or ignore everything that is contrary to the faith or promise (word) of God, opening up not everything that was natural to be signed in the Word.
Do not negotiate the Word of God with what is favorable, but take advantage of contrary winds to believe and declare: It will happen! This is the Faith Grounded in the Word.
"I, brothers, when I came to you, announcing to you the testimony of God, I did not do so with ostentation of language or wisdom, because I have decided to know nothing among you, but Jesus Christ and this one crucified." And it was in weakness, fear and great I trembled among you, Neither my word nor my preaching was with persuasive words of human wisdom, but with demonstration of the Spirit and power, so that your faith might not depend on human wisdom, but on the power of God. "1 Corinthians 2,1-5
An inspired word, followed by a demonstration of the Spirit, without searching for knowledge and natural study. Faith supported by the power of God. POWER = dunamis (Greek) - Power to perform miracles that resides in something (being able to be a thing or a word) by virtue. The man, in these last days, changed inspiration by logic.
We did not have to exercise faith to receive Jesus Christ. When we think or question whether we have faith or not to receive a promise we are being inspired or influenced by hell, because what we have to do is connect to Him who promised us and who is faithful and powerful to fulfill. The evidence of faith is the word that comes from your mouth.
"For since ancient times it was not heard, nor with ears was perceived, nor with the eyes was God seen beyond you, who works for him who waits for him". (Isaiah 64.4)
Even when everything is contrary we must attack the Word and keep what is written. The Word is the eternal abstract.
We must meditate and remain firm as one who sees the invisible.
"By faith, he left Egypt, not being frightened by the wrath of the king, but was sustained as seeing the Unseen." (Hebrews 11:27)
God does not bless administrative negligence. Multiplication only comes when we do planning. God does not sponsor disorganization. If God is not involved in the planning, it is better not to get involved in the project, because the end will only be disappointment. The joy of the supernatural is the result of seeing the facts spiritually.
"I am the vine, you, the branches, who abides in me, and I, in him, bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing." (John 15.5)
The Holy Spirit guides us in the Word. It is necessary to base ourselves on biblical texts, on the Word. The supernatural experience can excite you to obey, but to sustain only the Word.
It is necessary to give time for things to be created within you, to develop faith and patience to create the structure inside. The anointing can help you in healing, but what keeps you healed is the Word. The experience we have of remaining in the Word never comes out of our lives.
"For our light and momentary problems an eternal weight of glory that surpasses all comparison occurs in us," Not looking at us the things that are seen, but those that are not seen; Because the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are not seen are eternal. "2 Corinthians 4:17
We must develop trust in the Word that nothing will be lacking.
"Since we walk by faith and not by what we see". 2 Corinthians 5.7
Certainly Kristal, our faith must be based on the word of God, which is the constitution of God to direct our lives.

It is correct @ kristal01, faith without a foundation in the word is tripiezo for people.
