The series concludes by centering faith where it belongs—on Jesus Himself. This powerful teaching reveals that the believer ultimately lives not by self-generated faith, but by the faithfulness and faith of Christ. It brings rest, assurance, and confidence by showing that our standing with God is secured by Him, not us.

Not all truth carries the same weight when it comes to faith. This teaching distinguishes between essential gospel truths that sustain and strengthen faith, and non-essential issues that can distract, confuse, or weaken it. Understanding this distinction helps believers remain anchored in what truly matters.

This part addresses one of the most troubling questions believers face: why faith doesn’t always appear to work. Rather than blaming God or the believer, this teaching uncovers how misplaced expectations, mixed covenants, and misunderstanding the object of faith can cause faith to seem ineffective, even when God remains faithful.

Here, faith is shifted from being a tool to acquire things to being a means of understanding who we already are in Christ. This teaching emphasizes that faith establishes us in our God-given position—accepted, righteous, and complete—and that possession flows from identity, not the other way around.

This session explores the true source of faith and dismantles common misconceptions about trying to produce faith through effort or repetition. Faith is revealed as something that comes through hearing and receiving God’s Word—specifically the message concerning Christ—resulting in confidence that flows naturally, not mechanically.

This opening teaching redefines what the “fight of faith” truly is. Rather than striving to make things happen, the good fight is learning to stand firm in what God has already accomplished in Christ. Faith is shown to be a posture of holding on to truth, resisting unbelief, and resting in God’s finished work amid pressure and opposition.

God calls things that are not as though they were—and it happens. We are created in His image and given the same authority to speak what we believe. In this message, discover how to speak God’s Word with certainty, overcome feelings and circumstances, and see His promises come to pass—just like the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4.
