When God tells us something or asks us to do something, the faith to believe it or to do it comes with the word from God….
Faith is the product of the spirit; it is a spiritual force. The enemy doesn’t want you and me to get our mind in agreement with our spirit. He knows that if God places faith in us to do a thing, and we get positive and start consistently believing that we can actually do it, then we will do considerable damage to his kingdom.
— Joyce Meyer, Battlefield of the Mind, p. 98-99
