“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:” Amos 8:11
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17
Here we have a famine of the word which when paired with Romans 10:17 becomes a Famine of Faith! Are you suffering from a famine of faith? Is your spiritual man down to skin and bones? Have you become weak and anemic? There has been an epidemic of Christians who suffer from an acute lack of spiritual nourishment in these last days. We need to reverse this process and feed our faith by Hearing the Word of God! (Rom. 10:17)
Hearing the Word is indeed a key component of the restoration process however it is not the only component. When Peter’s faith is challenged by Christ’s command to forgive again and again he actually acknowledges his lack of faith by requesting that the Lord “Increase our faith.” God follows that request with a parable that instructs us to obey the command of the Master as a good servant. We learn from this that we need to reverse this process and feed our faith by Heeding the Word of God! (Luke 17:5-10)
It all boils down to diet and exercise. Partake of the Word and Practice the Word then your Faith will grow and you will be well on your way to overcoming the enemy of doubt!
