Jesus said in Mark 11:22, "Have faith in God" or as the margin reference in the King James says, "have the faith of God."  Jesus is telling us that we can, and should have the faith of God - God's faith has been given to us.  God's faith works and if you receive His faith, then His faith will work for you.  His faith in you will bring to pass His will for your life.

Abraham understood this principle, but it took some time.  When he began to say what God said, when he began to call himself what God called him, his life began to change.  When God changed his name from Abram (highly exalted father) to Abraham (the father of a multitude) he began to see himself as God saw him - the father of many nations.

When we say what God says about us, it begins to get in our spirit.  We begin to develop faith for what God has said in His Word concerning us - and if we don't quit, it will come to pass.

It only took Abraham about 3 months to see results.  After he changed his name and began to call himself what God had called him, his son Isaac was born, within one year.

That's the faith of Abraham, which is the faith of God.
