Two Kinds of Faith

1 . Gift Of Faith

This is the sovereign impartation of a Gift of Faith from God to you. at the time of salvation or faith can come to you in a given situation, and a great miracle will take place. But when the situation is past, for which you needed that Gift of Faith, the faith that took you through it may not reside in you any longer.

God Gives Faith

Paul writes in Romans 12:3: "For I say through the grace given. God hath dealt to every man the measure [or seed] of faith". Faith starts with God giving to every one of us the measure of seed-faith. The word 'measure' comes from the Greek word 'metron', meaning a limited portion. This seed (limited portion or measure) is God's gift to every person who believe in Jesus Christ. There is no believer who can say "I don't have faith", because the word of God says that God deals to every man the measure, or seed, of faith. Further support for this is found in Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it [faith] is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.". If you are a born-again believer, that seed, measure and gift has been given to you. That's Gift of Faith

2. Developed Faith

In developed faith, if you start out with "5-cent" faith and it grows to "75-cent" faith then you can deal with any situation that you encounter up to 75-cent faith. On the other hand, if your faith has not progressively grown, but you have only known a sudden gift or "impartation" of faith on some singular occasion, your faith development might still be at the 5-cent level.

Developed faith is something that will stay with you and work for you in any situation in which you find yourself. As long as the problem does not exceed your level of faith-growth, you will always be triumphant.
