Leaders Must Combine Faith With Hearing the Word

I’m continuing with the leadership series on hearing the voice of God. Hebrews 4:2 says that people heard a message "but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith." Whether you hear a prophecy, experience a dream, see a vision, or read the written word, if you don’t combine it with faith, it will have no value. It will not affect your life. It will not impact your decisions. It will not move you into God’s plan for the moment, the day or season.

Leaders can not afford to hear without faith. Faith is the catalyst that transforms words on paper to moments of revelation. It is by faith that we believe and act upon the written word--His voice to the church. Leaders must personally operate in faith to experience the power of that Word.
