Chapter Five: Faith, the Essential Ingredient
Quotes:
"Faith is confidence that God is who he says he is and that he will do what he has promised to do."
"Embracing and owning a vision is in itself an act of faith."
"God-inspired visions ultimately lead back to God."
"Success often leads to self-sufficiency"
"When hopes become realities it is so easy to shift our faith onto the thing we have dreamed of and off of the One who was the source of our provision."
Evaluate Your Prayers
Stanley says, "I think it is safe to assume that most Christians are not attempting anything that requires God's intervention. If you want to know how you score on this issue, listen to your prayers and prayer requests. What do you pray for? What are the things you find yourself praying for night after night? Those are your passions. Those are the things that matter most to you. Other than heaven, and possibly your health, what are you consciously depending on God to do?"
