17   So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.    18   But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. ~ ROMANS 10:17-18

What is the origin of faith in the individual? Faith is a revelation, and more specifically, a revelation of the Mind of God Himself. Paul tells us that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God”. Many people hear, but do they really hear? The Bible tells us “He that HATH and ear, let him hear”. The implication is that some do not have the ear to hear. When Paul says, “and hearing BY the Word of God”, he is saying that it is the Word of God, the Logos seed of God that you are, that gives you an ear to hear, and when that Word is heard it produces faith, the Mind of Christ in you. Obviously the more you hear, the more faith is grown in you. Your natural, or rather supernatural hunger will lead you to the spiritual nutrition your election is groaning for.
