Lesson 1 - What Is Faith?

INTRODUCTION

Faith is the foundation of the Christian life. The Bible tells us that "without faith, it is impossible to please Him" (Hebrews 11:6, KJV). But what exactly is faith? Is it simply believing in something? Is it a feeling? Or is it something more?

Faith is not just a concept or an idea, it is a powerful spiritual force that enables believers to experience the supernatural. It is the currency of the spirit realm, as Prophet Uebert Angel teaches. Through faith, we connect to the promises of God, receive miracles, and walk in victory.

In this study, we will explore:

• The biblical definition of faith
• Examples of faith in the Bible
• How to grow in faith
• How to apply faith in daily life
• What Prophet Uebert Angel teaches about faith
• Quizzes and discussion questions to test your understanding

By the end of this lesson, you will have a stronger understanding of faith and be equipped to activate it in your life!

CHAPTER 1: UNDERSTANDING FAITH

What is Faith?

The Bible gives us a clear definition of faith in:
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) – "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Let’s break this down:

• Faith is the substance – This means faith is real and tangible. It is not just a wish or hope. It has substance in the spirit realm.
• Faith is the evidence – Even though we cannot see what we believe for yet, faith is the proof that it exists!

Prophet Uebert Angel teaches:
"Faith makes the unseen visible and the impossible possible!"

Faith is Not Just Belief

Many people confuse faith with mere belief, but the two are different. Belief acknowledges that something is true, but faith acts upon that truth.

Example: A person can believe a plane can fly, but faith is actually getting on the plane!

James 2:26 (KJV) – "For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."

Faith is active! It moves beyond just believing into doing and speaking according to God’s Word.

CHAPTER 2: BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF FAITH

To understand faith, we must look at how great men and women in the Bible demonstrated faith.

1. Abraham – The Father of Faith

Romans 4:17-21 (KJV)

• Abraham believed God’s promise of a son even though he and Sarah were too old.
• He did not consider the physical facts (his old age). Instead, he focused on what God said.

Lesson: True faith does not focus on circumstances; it focuses on God’s promises!

2. Noah – Faith to Obey Without Evidence

Hebrews 11:7 (KJV)

• Noah built an ark even though there was no rain in sight!
• He trusted what God said over what he could see.

Prophet Uebert Angel teaches:
"Faith is obeying God when logic says otherwise!"

3. Peter – Faith to Walk on Water

Matthew 14:28-31 (KJV)

• Peter walked on water because he believed Jesus’ word “Come”.
• But when he focused on the wind, he started to sink.

Lesson: Faith requires focus on Jesus, not circumstances.

CHAPTER 3: HOW TO GROW IN FAITH

Faith is not automatic, it must be developed!

1. Hear the Word of God

Romans 10:17 (KJV) – "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

• The more you hear and study God’s Word, the stronger your faith becomes.
• Prophet Uebert Angel teaches that faith is built by constant exposure to divine truth!

2. Speak Faith-Filled Words

Mark 11:23 (KJV) – "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."

Speak what you believe! Your words have power.

3. Act on What You Believe

James 2:17 (KJV) – "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

• If you believe God will provide, start preparing for your breakthrough!
• If you believe for healing, start acting healed!

CHAPTER 4: APPLYING FAITH IN DAILY LIFE

Faith is meant to be applied in every aspect of our lives.

1. Faith for Healing

James 5:15 (KJV) – "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up."

• Confess healing scriptures daily and refuse to accept sickness.

2. Faith for Finances

Philippians 4:19 (KJV) – "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."

• Sow seeds and believe for supernatural provision.

3. Faith for Miracles

Mark 16:17 (KJV) – "And these signs shall follow them that believe."

• Expect miracles daily!

FINAL THOUGHTS: LIVING BY FAITH

Faith is not just a concept, it is the foundation of our Christian walk. The Bible makes it clear that “without faith it is impossible to please Him” (Hebrews 11:6, KJV). Faith is the bridge between the unseen and the seen, allowing us to receive what God has already provided through grace.

Faith is not based on feelings or circumstances, but on the unchanging Word of God. Prophet Uebert Angel teaches that “Faith is not hoping; it is knowing! It takes hold of what grace has already provided.” This means that faith is not passive it requires us to speak, act, and live as though God’s promises are already fulfilled.

Just like Abraham believed against all odds (Romans 4:18-21), and Peter walked on water when he kept his eyes on Jesus (Matthew 14:28-31), we must also choose to walk by faith and not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

The Key Takeaways on Faith:

✔ Faith is the substance and evidence of unseen realities (Hebrews 11:1)
✔ Faith comes by hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17)
✔ Faith requires action, speaking and doing (James 2:26, Mark 11:23)
✔ Faith overrides facts, God’s truth is final (Matthew 19:26)
✔ Faith receives what grace has already given (Ephesians 2:8)

Challenge: Are You Ready to Walk in Faith?

Faith is a lifestyle, not just a moment of belief. Speak God’s Word over your life, refuse doubt, and expect results. As Prophet Uebert Angel teaches: “Faith doesn’t wait—it takes!”

Take God at His Word, believe, speak & act!
