Until we are born again, we live in a kingdom dominated by darkness, fear, hate, strife, and worry. But after we’re born again, we have the love of God in our hearts, and we can love like God loves (Rom. 5:5).

The Word of God makes it clear that we receive from the Lord by faith and that faith brings results.
By Rev. Kenneth E. Hagin
Faith—Bible faith—is based on the Word of God. It comes by hearing the Word of God. Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” If you get out beyond the Word of God, you have no basis for faith—and you will get into trouble.
By Kenneth E. Hagin
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
—Romans 10:8–10
This passage in Romans deals specifically with salvation. But we receive salvation from God in the same way we receive other provisions from God. Every other provision was included in that salvation. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus made salvation, preservation, healing, provision, wholeness, and every good thing to us. Jesus did the work. How do we receive those provisions? With our heart we believe it, with our mouth we confess it, and then we receive it.
By Rev. Kenneth W. Hagin
God wants each one of us to possess everything He has for us. He wants to teach us how to fight the good fight of faith using His Word so our faith won’t fizzle out!
