FAITH IS...

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might." Ephesians 6:10

"For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our Faith." I John 5:4

"But without FAITH it is impossible to please him (God)." Hebrews 11:6

"So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Romans 10:17

Endurance and steadfastness until we SEE the answers to what we prayed for is the key to Faith. You cannot 'try out' faith! Faith is a way of life which comes after you have disiplined yourself in learning and understanding God's word. Faith means holding out til you see the results of your prayers (exactly how you prayed), and never giving up until you do see the answer in this world. Do not settle for something halfway like what you prayed for. Satan will send you a substitute answer to see if he can cheat you out of part of your blessings...even if it seems as if God has sent some of what you prayed for. But, God only sends Good and Perfect gifts.
Some people will pray and try out faith for a few days and then give up and say "God did not meet my needs" or "God did not answer my prayers". But this is NOT FAITH! This is wishful hoping which is believing without power! The power of FAITH comes from diligently seeking God through His Word.
Sometimes, (most of the time) your problems you are praying about did not come on you overnight! It is going to take God a few days (or even months or years if it involves another person's will) to move things around so you will SEE your answer. But your prayer was answered in Heaven, the moment you prayed in Faith. Satan will try to discourage you and make you think God did not hear you. This is so that you will doubt and cancel out your prayers and your faith in it! There is always a struggle with faith. Once again, I point out Mark 11:22-24 "Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore, I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
To have faith, you must DOUBT NOT!!! And you will HAVE WHATSOEVER YOU SAITH!!! Satan's job is to make you doubt that your faith will work and to trick you into speaking against what you prayed for. And, in your doing so, you have stopped your own prayers from manifesting into your life by Doubt and Your own Words! You must put action to your Believing to become Faith! Your actions and words determine whether you truly believe God or not. Once we pray in faith, we must act as if we already have received what we prayed for and confess victory and give God the praise and the glory for doing it! Why would we do that before we receive the answer in this world??? Because we believe we receive it at the moment in which we pray!!!!
