3. Faith comes by hearing the Word (Rom 10:17).

4. Christians already have a supernatural faith by virtue of their salvation status
(Acts 8:37, Rom 10:9) so that every Christian has the manifestation of the Holy
Ghost called faith at least in a general sense (1 Cor 12:9). As faith must produce
works (Jam 2:17, 22) a Christian must also be producing the fruit of the Holy
Ghost called faith as long as he is a Christian (Gal 5:22). Once this is understood a
Christian must perceive that he already has faith and subsequently that he does
have, as the default, the necessary faith to receive a specific blessing (1 Cor 12:7)
subject to the operation of the Prime Principle (1 Cor 12:11). This was the point of
Jesus’ answer when his disciples asked him to increase their faith, Jesus said that
they had the necessary faith but they thought that what they had was insufficient,
they did not trust the level of faith that they had already which was sufficient (Luke
17:5-6).

Therefore a Christian has faith which must inevitably increase to him as a process
(Mat 13:12, 25:29, Luke 8:18, Luke 17:5).

5(a). Seek faith (Mat 7:7, Luke 11:9-10) and it will be given and (b) seek the
Kingdom of Heaven first before material things are sought and the material things
will follow (Luke 12:31).

6. Ask for faith and it shall be given (Mat 7:7, Luke 11:9-10, John 16:24).

7. Command the answer to prayer that you seek (Isaiah 45:11). This was done by
Jesus (Mark 1:25-27, 4:39) and we have His authority and power, since Pentecost,
made available to us (Luke 24:49, 1 Cor 1:24) to do likewise or even greater
things (John 14:12); provided it is done always in His Name (John 15:16, 16:23, 2
Cor 2:10-11) which recognises the ultimate operation of the Prime Principle (1 Cor
12:11). If a Christian is in doubt about whether a request is good or bad there is no
need to be, because if the request is made in the name of Jesus, no harm can come
(2 Cor 2:10-11). God created by commands (Gen 1:3). The Lord’s Prayer is
replete with commands (Mat 6:9-13) and Peter recognised the importance of the
command (Mat 14:28) and although his faith was ‘little’ he did walk on the water
for a while (Mat 14:29-31) showing that a little faith goes a long way as it naturally
reproduces and multiplies in the heart (Mat 13:31-32, Luke 17:5-6). The default
with every Christian prayer is that God will release the necessary faith from the
Holy Ghost such that it be answered (Luke 11:13, 1 Cor 12:7), the only
qualification being subjection to the Prime Principle (1 Cor 12:11).
