Galatians 3:5-6 KJV
(5) He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
(6) Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
 

Step #1   We must experience "the hearing of faith."

The expression, "the hearing of faith" is a bombshell. When the Greeks wanted to make something in a sentence "one of a kind" they had two ways to do it. They could use the Greek definite article "the." Or they could precede their "one of a kind" thing with a preposition. That's what they did here. In other words, "the hearing of faith" is inside a prepositional phrase.

This means that the hearing referred to here is one of a kind. You see there are many things we can hear with our ears. But there is only one "hearing of faith." This "hearing" is in class all by itself. We must experience the hearing of faith.

Faith is information we get from God for us to act upon. This information is primarily found in the Scripture promises God made to us.   

Step #2   We must "believe."

Believe, in Scripture, means to act upon something God said in the information he gave to us. Take John 3: 16 for example. Act upon that information and you will not perish but have eternal life.

Now, when you have a need such as healing, prosperity of family well being, find a Scripture promise that covers it. Then act on it. Do what it says for you to do in your particular Scripture.

When you find your promise, quote your Scripture out loud. Quote it out loud! Quote it out loud so you can hear it! Quote it out loud over and over again! You must hear it! Do this now.

Step #3   Based on the Two Steps above, God will "count it to us."

After you have said your promise out loud and experienced this one of a kind hearing, God comes on the scene and does something. He counts it to us. He counts it to us!

Counts is a Greek book keeping term. It simply means to write something down under our name in our ledger sheet. It can mean to count as an asset or as a liablilty. The point is that when God writes down what you acted upon, you will indeed have what you acted upon.

When God counts it to us, we do not have the fulfillment of our promise in our hands yet, but once the counting has been done by God himself, the harvest will come in. You will have what God counted to you.

Step #4   You will enter into what you acted on in your Scripture Promise God gave you
