How Powerful is Faith?

I finished the second chapter of Think and Grow Rich. The whole chapter was on 'Faith' and how it plays an integral part in what you can and will achieve in life.

Napoleon Hill referenced back to the New Testament when Jesus required that people have faith before he would (could?) heal them (Matthew 9:22, Mark 10:52). He seemed to believe it was the faith more then Jesus that did the healing. If this is true, how can faith play a role in our lives? Does simply having faith in something make it happen?

I'm still not sold on this. If faith was all it took, then all the crazys out there would be on their spaceships and all the starving waiters would be movie stars. However there was a reason that Jesus required faith in order to produce miracles. But how important is it?

Hey Tim,
My dad said that is a great book you're reading. I do beleive that faith has a big influence on where you want to go.

I think if a person's view point in life that is nothing but negative, then they will never gravitate towards anything possitive.

One thing I've been wrestling with is my job. I can't stand where I work. But through prayer I've been able to muster enough faith that God will provide a way out, as he always does. From that, God gave me some crazy opportunities with a new busines and it looks like its starting to be more productive.

Faith is a hard concept to graps, you're right, if all it took was faith, then the wackos would be traveling through time and back. But I also have to remember, that it isn't always about me, but it's about what God wants for me.
Thanks for listening.
