12 Secrets to a Miracle-Working Faith

SECRET I
FAITH IS NOT MENTAL ASSENT
What do I mean when I say mental assent? I mean that with my mind I say “Yes it is possible that God may perform a miracle,” with no further comments, just leave it at that.
As you can see, this is only an approval of the mind about the possibility that God may perform miracles. Mental Assent is only the first stage on the journey to the City of Miracles. To have mental assent means to experience a belief with the mind only.
But that belief does not go deep enough into my heart so as to produce a miracle in my life. The book of Proverbs says, ‘For out of it (the heart) flow the springs of life’ (blessings, miracles,) (Prov. 4:23).
This means the following. For example, suppose you get sick, very sick, and no matter what you do your situation grows worse. And you realize that only a miracle from God would do. You realize that a deeper kind of faith is required and also, the approval of your mind about the possibility that God may heal you. Will not be enough to receive a miracle. So, you go to a deeper level of your faith and now, you engage your heart into believing that you will receive a miracle. You begin to confess the promises of God regarding healing and you are expecting God to heal you. Now you believe not only with your mind, but also with your heart; and you have the certainty that God will perform a miracle. You have gone beyond the limitations of mental assent. If such is the case, then “for out of it (the heart, the spirit) flow the springs of life (healing) has been fulfilled.
The Bible says in Romans 10:10: ‘For with heart you believe unto salvation’. (When the Bible says, “with the heart,” it also means “with the spirit.”)
God is a spirit, to relate to Him we must relate to Him at the spiritual level.
The Bible says that God created man in His image (Gen. 1:26). ‘The image of God in man’ means that God, aside from giving man a body and a soul, also gave man a spirit. So then man is a spirit, who has a soul, and lives within a body. Man uses his body to relate to the physical realm, uses his soul (the depository of his life, will, emotions and intellect) which through the senses relates to the physical or natural realm, and with his spirit man can relate to the spiritual realm. It is important to understand that the spiritual realm is just as real as the physical one, but invisible to the human eye.
God is ‘looking for worshippers who want to worship Him in spirit and in truth’ (John 4:23).
Therefore, we may conclude that, in order to receive a miracle, you must not only give your mental assent (soul), but you must also believe with your heart (spirit).
Are you ready to go beyond your intelligence, your mind, and believe with your heart? If that is the case, let us go beyond the second stage on the journey towards the City of Faith where you will receive your miracle.

To exercise your faith, I want you to declare in a loud voice:
“I declare that I believe in God. I also believe in Jesus. He is my Lord and Savior. I believe that He died to pay for my sins and that by his stripes I am healed. I declare that I believe not only with my mind but also with all my heart in Him and His word. I believe all His promises are true. I declare that His grace and favor are operating in my life, and that He has made supernatural provision for all my needs. I declare that all of God’s blessings are upon me and that this day is a blessed day, In the name of Jesus, AMEN AND AMEN.”
