Text: John 8:31-32
Head faith is not heart faith. Belief in your head won't get your prayers answered.
John 8:32 tells us the truth will set us free. Yet, if we read it in context, we see that once we hear the truth, we must choose whether to meditate on it or not, embrace it or not, believe it or not. Just because I hear a truth doesn't mean I know or understand it. If we do not believe with the heart, the truth will not set us free.
Another mistaken idea is if we have a desire for something that's the same as having faith. We can desire to lose weight, but if we don't eat right and exercise, it won't happen.
Having a need is not the same as having faith. I've heard people say, "Well, God knows what I need." That's head faith. There's no power there.
When the woman with the issue of blood sought to touch the hem of Jesus' garment, she saw herself as healed the moment she connected with that cloth. She'd heard Jesus healed, she believed He would heal her, and she put her faith in action.
Hear, understand, believe, see, and don't doubt.
