Everyone is born with a measure of faith. Everyone. Too many people don't realize they are being called by God. Some do, but don't want to answer the call because they think they'll have to live a life they don't want to live, and in many cases that's true. You grow your faith by studying the Word of God, by spending time with Him every single day, by trusting in Him, by pouring your heart out to Him, by showing gratitude for what He does for you before asking for anything more. You seek Him and He'll come running!

Faith comes from God, but it is tidal. You know when you have faith, a true faith fully developed in spirit:. LOL -- you work and live a lifetime developing your fee will by doing what is right, and know your errors, and then, when you're at the pinnacle, just when you think you have it made, you have a fully developed free will, BOOM - you give it to God, you give everything that you worked for -- your free will -- without the thought of exchange, no thought of receiving anything in return, you just give it to God. That's faith. You leave yourself with nothing of what you spent a life working for. Then watch what happens to you: the demons will hate you and God will love you, God may even worship you for your gift to God. Life becomes very interesting as you fear nothing but loss of your relationship with God. .

God has given us a measure of faith - Romans 12:3
Faith comes to us by hearing the word of God - Romans 10:17
We can build up our faith by praying in the Spirit - Jude 20.
God bless you with greater faith.

Faith is a gift from God, it only grows by putting what you believe into action. The apostle James said, "Faith without works is dead."
Everyone wants to be "right", but hardly anyone wants to "do" right. Basically, God wants Christians to put up or shut up.

Faith can come from any religion, not just Christianity and God.
It grows the more you believe.

Hebrews 11 is all about faith. Read it, and everytime you come across the word "faith" substitute it with "seeing as God sees." Faith grows when you use it. You learn to trust God by extending that faith.

" ...and the life that i live in the flesh I live by faith.. the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave up Himself for me"
Gal 2 20
Faith is not something we naturally possess. Its is definately something that originates with God. He has given us His WORDS of Life and of Faith that upon hearing, we are infused with Faith and the ability to believe.
The More of the Word we put in through reading, feeding, praying the word the more we are infused with faith and the more the faith as a foundation is laid in our being.. solidifying us in the Lord so we are not easily swayed. Faith can definately GROW.. there is little song I sang as a kid.. " read your bible pray everyday and you GROW.... GROW.. GROW!
May we be strong in faith.. . and keep our " spiritual ears" in a place where we can " hear " by the hearing of faith.. may our ears never be shut from the Lord but be open to the words of the Lord.
" This is my Son the Beloved in Whom I have found my Delight.. Hear HIM!"

Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Romans 5:1-5 Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. He has brought us by faith into this experience of God's grace, in which we now live. And so we boast of the hope we have of sharing God's glory! We also boast of our troubles, because we know that trouble produces endurance, endurance brings God's approval, and his approval creates hope. This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God's gift to us.
Dear one - Daily putting the Word of God in our lives gives us the tools to deal with everyday issues. Enduring difficulties builds our "faith muscles" like weights build our bodies.
Stay in the word - remain faithful to God - and your faith will grow as He shows you His path.
Peace.

Faith is a gift form God. Those who love and seek the truth receive this gift. Through faith comes revelation and through revelation a personal relationship with God. Yes it grows if a man continues his relationship with God.
