God demands that we live by faith, not by sight; this is the only way to please Him (2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:6). Even so, this faith is not an impartation we receive through the laying on of hands or by prayer and fasting. Through praying in the Spirit you can strengthen yourself in your faith (Jude 1:20) but you must first have the faith before you can strengthen yourself in it through prayer. So how does faith come?
