I have noticed that too many Christians have things wrong about a successful life of faith. I can't tell you how many times I've heard complaints about living by faith being too hard or "i tried it and it didnt' work" ... and the list goes on! They believe that in order for them to succeed at living by FAITH they have to rely on THEIR ability & THEIR faith, and that is why they fail. A life of faith is not a result of your perfection and abilities. Living by Faith is not living by muttering. People have misconstrewed living by faith to mean constantly muttering their faith confessions and if I cross this T and dot this I, then maybe, just maybe I will get the breakthrough I am believing God for. These people have spent too much time turning faith into a mathematical theorem of confusion rather than an actual answer producing equation. How does this happen? It is because they don't carefully consider what they hear (Mark 4:24).
