Two Kinds of Faith
The Word says, “The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-18) When we accept Jesus as our Lord, we become new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are redeemed from the curse of the enemy and made new. Our spirit is born again and we become children of God. As His children we now live by faith. It’s a different way from how the world lives. The Bible teaches us that there are degrees of faith (1 Corinthians 3:1-4). And believers can remain immature and carnal if they don’t develop their faith. Sometimes, unless we are confronted with the truth, we may not even realize we are yet babes in Christ. That was the condition of those Jesus warned about in Matthew 7:21-23 when He said He would declare to them, “I never knew your.”
Developing our faith is the choice of each individual. It’s not up to God. It’s up to each one of us. We are called to live by faith; to walk in the Spirit; to become mature so we can be that bright light that shine in the dark world and bring people into a saving knowledge of Jesus and who don’t yet know His love.
Your Journey in Faith is specially designed to help you develop your faith as you experience your sacred time of extended prayer and fasting. Take this opportunity to learn more about yourself and the changes you can make in your life of faith.

Thank you, Susan. God is really fulfilling the desire in my heart through your messages. I deeply yearn for the revelation knowledge of the faith. Thank you once again for this teachings.
Is my second day of fasting and I realize that GOD is talking to me. I have been praying and fasting for a specific prayer request; it been several years and I still pray for it. As of today, I have not received the revelation nor has it been answered. Susan I have been viewing your video and completing my worksheet; I put my self in the scale of faith it reflex where, I stand in faith and that could be the reason my prayer hasen’t been answer. I will pray every night for GOD to increase my faith; hoping one day I will testify my prayer answered. Thank you, Susan I’m loving these daily Devotional, video and worksheets:) May God continue Blessing you and your Family.
Hi Susan,
Day 2 has really hit home for me because I’ve felt this sense of disconnect and I’ve been saved for a long time. When I did the intro phase in preparing for my fast, two of the things I noted under the section for areas of my life that are “out of order” is feeling like I have head knowledge about the things of God but not heart knowledge and then doubting my relationship with God. So when you spoke about sense knowledge faith and revelation knowledge faith, my spirit responded. I am looking forward to truly deepening my relationship with God one step and one day at a time. Thank you!
Dear Susan and fellow disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ
I am from Oudtshoorn in South Africa. I am a major in the SA Army. I am committed to see this fast through to honour and glorify God.
I have experienced a deepened relationship with the LORD. He is real and I am constantly aware of His presence.
I have fasted before but I have not been as focused spiritually. I want to thank Susan for her support through this website and all the tools that she provides to assist us all. I am eager to read God’s Word and gain more insight in his plan for me this year.
May you all be blessed in Jesus Name!

Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world. Your daily videos and devotionals are helping me remain strong on the fast. I am on day 2 feeling excited and very empowered as I recharge my relationship with God and my body with healthy eating. May God richly bless you Susan.
Thank u very much Susan m grow in the words may the Lord bless u
Very insightful. I really want to reach this revelation knowledge faith stage. help me dear Lord as I submit myself to you.
Thank you Susan and team for the daily devotionals to go with the fast. I’m especially thankful that you’ve recorded the devotionals – very helpful to listen with family members.
This is my first time doing the Daniel fast and my 20 year old son is doing it too. We are both excited and expecting to see God move in our relationship with him.
I like the contrast you draw between sense knowledge faith and revelation knowledge faith – very insightful.
Every blessing.
Thank you Susan for such an enlightening lesson. I realize the more time I spend with God in prayer and by hearing and reading His Word, allowing myself to truly understand His truth and promises, my faith will deepen. My prayer going into this fast was to feel His presence, to feel His loving touch so that I would know He is near. My faith has wavered so much lately, thus me joining you and the others in this fast. I want to grow and be able to draw a mark on the far right end of the spectrum that reads “Revelation Knowledge Faith”.
Susan these lessons are awesome! My Pastor is in the process of revisiting and astounding on Faith over again. He stated that he feels as though some of his congregation continue to struggle with their faith. I would say how ironic this is, but I honestly believe God led him to do so because I am one of those people. I believe God is also the reason as to why You are leading me in this fast, due to my not having that Revelation Knowledge Faith I so desire. I can’t wait to hear and complete tomorrow’s lesson.
Blessings Susan!
Dear Susan….day’s 1 & 2 have been awesome..i pray that these teachings continue to guide our faith the next 19 days….remain blessed!
Thank you you Susan for your inspired teaching. I am so grateful for the enlightenment. This is my third time doing the Daniel fast and each time I receive more understanding and deeper spiritual clarity. I appreciate your good work as an outstretched hand of God. Keep Shining!
Thank you Susan for the very clear explanation of the 2 kinds of faith. This group and fast are blessing even while I type this. I thank God for your ministry
Hi Susan, I am truly blessed to be a part of the group, fasting and praying. I need God more than ever in my life and this is a great opportunity to get closer to God.Thank you for the teachings and the worksheets, a wonderful guideline to us. I appreciate your love and dedication in preparing the videos and the worksheets. May God bless you abundantly.
What a good and powerful lesson. I enjoyed it. One of my reasons for fasting is to have a stronger faith in God. I have been reading scriptures about faith and prosperity. Thank you for the word today.
Hi Tania,
I too have been struggling with my faith. Faith and prosperity are my downfalls, however, after starting this fast I believe we will be just fine. With Susan leading us through God’s guidance, we will both have gained Revelation Knowledge Faith.
Blessings Tania!
Hi Susan thank you for all you. Your fasting knowledge and materials have been a true blessing to me over these past several years. I wanted to post because of a passage you share in todays devotional that Ive often longed to understand a little deeper. You said that at times believers remain in a state of immaturity. “Sometimes,…we may not even realize we are yet babes in Christ. That was the condition of those Jesus warned about in Matthew 7:21-23 when He said He would declare to them, “I never knew your.”
I often thought Jesus’s statement “I don’t know you” refered to those who were never truly converted but used the preaching of the gospel as a means to gain attention and followers to their own agenda. They had not really secured an authentic relationship with Christ let alone trying to deepen one with Him.
Am I understanding you correctly that you’re saying it is because of immaturity that many will be rejected by the Lord at that final day?
Please, I would love to hear more on this most sobering verse.
Sincerely, Taiye
Hi Taiye,
Thanks for your question. No, not immaturity. So many people have a head knowledge of the Lord, yet they haven’t entered into a relationship with Him. In the relationship we get to know Him (that’s where our maturity is fostered) and He gets to know us. Sadly, there are millions of people who may call themselves Christians, but who don’t know Christ.
Another place to read about this is in the Seven Churches cited in Revelation 2 and 3.
Again, thanks. It’s an important clarification that you raised.
Any chance to get a packet emailed of all the Daniel Fast daily worksheets? I am going to leave town with my daughters so I can leave behind distractions of my daily life and really focus on extended prayer. I will not have internet access other than my phone and I would like to print the worksheets in advance so I can complete them each day. Thank you!
Hi Erica,
The videos are created only a few days in advance of publication. However, you can look at the worksheets and then use a journal for your answers.
I hope this helps.
Hi Erica
I trust the challenge you expressed has been resolved? However, in the absence of a printing facility, it is actually quite easy to transcribe the worksheet onto a sheet of paper with a pen or pencil. As I understand it, the essence of the worksheet is to help us stay focused on the Word during the fast, reflect on the teaching in Susan’s video to be able to flag up issues we need to pray about during this special time of consecration to the Lord. May the lord strengthen every one of us as we seek Him more diligently.
Dear Susan
Thank you for your insightful teaching and encouragement. This is an important topic for me as I am aware that any truth of God that I am not living by is sense knowledge. Revelation knowledge is God’s truth (light) in which I walk (live).
Thank you for reminding me that sense or head knowledge is not my final destination but a layover. I pray for divine enablement (grace) to act out God’s word in my everyday choices and decision-making and to remember that God is capable of taking care of any adverse consequences that arise from obeying Him. To remember that He may allow some of these adversities in order to strengthen my faith and dependence on Him but will never allow them to crush me.
As I understand it, walking in faith is taking God’s Word seriously enough to inform our decision to obey Him. Acting on God’s Word gives us the opportunity to find out for ourselves that God’s Word can be trusted to accomplish what He promised. This revelation is what deepens our relationship as we grow in intimacy with Him even and this also helps our faith and confidence to grow in Him.
I have embarked on this fast this year because I need a revived hunger and yearning for God’s Word and to gain a deeper understanding and revelation of His will so that I can walk in His light.
I declare by faith that this year, I receive grace to set aside a special time to study my Bible and to pray fervently, effectually and consistently trusting in God’s mercy and desire to do good to all that fear and seek Him.
Lovely post, Ijeoma. Thank your for sharing your heart with us.
Be blessed as you continue to grow in the knowledge and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Dear Ijeoma,
Thank you for your post. It`s like you read my mind. I want to use this extened period of fasting and prayer to acquire revelation knowledge faith, I have been yearning for this level of faith. May 2017 be the year we begin to live by faith and walk in the spirit. I am praising God more during the day and I just love it. The Lord is still working miracle. I am trying to wake up 30 minutes earlier, not yet there. Please pray for me in this area.
I Thank you for the prayer on this morning i was moved by the words,Thank you woman of God for allowing God to work in you so that you can be a Blessing to all.
Wow this is helping me so much;may God richly bless you Susan
Thank you Susan, your encouragement is appreciated. May God continue to bless your ministry.
On this time around with the Daniel fast I am seeking to know God better so that I can minister his word in the dance in a more powerful and spiritual way. We walk by faith and not by sight.
May God bless all who are part of this fast. Amen
This what need to help me grow in my faith so thank you
What a powerful teaching this morning, thank you. I know that I will revisit this video again today as I spend time reflecting on where I stand in my walk while I am completing job responsibilities today.
Thank you Susan for your ministry.
This is helping me so much. Thank you Ms. Susan for your help in finding God.
Thank you so much for the prayer and the love that you show to help us “babes” in Christ. I’m a born again christian but I’m always amazed by the word. I read it daily, I meditate on it and it is always true. Thank for your time helping us daily through this fast and showing us the relationship that’s ours! Love, ❤️
I posted earlier because I was late starting but I just completed day one and they too. As I did day one I noticed something God is an on time God. He has given me three words to go by this year decision decide and determination. Question to end a 1 my answer is I desire more of God. I have decided to listen for Jesus Christ to speak. I am determined to obey the Holy Spirit. And I to question 3 was confirmation for me that I am growing in Revelation knowledge. And as I get more Revelation knowledge I would become more confident I would be more bold and I would stand and stand some more I would not waver. I thank God for you miss Susan may he continue to bless you and guide you in all your endeavors God bless
Corrections I was speaking too fast too excited about what God is doing.
It should be questioned two day one not question to end a 1.
And day 2 question 3 not and 1 to question 3.
Thank you for the prayer ,video and the encouraging words. Susan thank you for all you are doing to make this is fast so enjoyable. I look forward to getting close to God and your prayers and scriptures are a blessing.
Beautiful lesson I am catching up this morning! From yesterday I am now onto the one today! God bless you! Thank you!
I see GOD in action.
Thanks.
I was so blessed today by the teaching. I missed the video yesterday, but hope not to miss another. Prepares me for my daily questions. Thank you God for this Journey of Faith. I need it.
The best part of the new year is starting the Daniel Fast. It is such a powerful and intimate conversation with Abba Father! Thank you for making all these resources available as we walk this journey at the start of 2017!
I was blessed to be reminded that we are all responsible for the level and growth of our own faith. Although we know this it was a good reminder. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this opportunity to study and and get deeper in God’s word, thank you for the prayers, thank you for the devotions, thank you for the lessons, God bless you.
I must confess that I am working toward the Revelation Knowledge Faith. I find myself faltering and feeling weak at times, so my goal is to go deeper in the Word and to look at the many ways that God fulfills His promises to me EVERY day that I don’t acknowledge. God is truly good all the time and He never breaks His promises to us. I need to learn to stand on His word. I trust that reading His Word, praying and believing will get me closer to that real Revelation Faith!! Thank you Susan!!!
Learning about Sense Knowledge Faith verses Revelation Knowledge Faith was powerful in this lesson to me. I always knew the difference but never had it presented or coined in the way that you have expressed it here Susan so thank you for sharing!
The information is so right on time. I am so thankful for you and the powerful teaching, prayers, and the devotionals. God bless you.
Thank you for taking the time to help all of us on our faith journey. Yesterday, I listened and watched the video, today I had to get ready for work so I thought I could just listen and do other things at the same time. God spoke to me. I am grateful that He helped me to see I need to stop doing other things and just focus on Him.
The first exercise talked about faith. It said faith comes from hearing and hearing from the word of God.I have basic faith in that i know and believe in Jesus Christ and his salvation. I also trust God to forgive me when I sin and I do trust God for answered prayers, etc. I want my faith to be so strong that when I pray for something that is within the will of God, I comes to pass. Thats where I want my faith. Please pray with me.
I am truely enjoying these teachings,Please pray for me that I live a life pleasing to him and live for his heart only. I want to breath christ in every aspect of my life, to know that i know I am safe and living in his will. I need more of him and less of me, to live a life that sparkle christ in me.
Very insightful word! Thank you!
This teaching is so awesome! Thank you for sending it to me. I need this because this will help me study his word. I am very hungry and eager to getting to know him more and more.
So happy and BLESSED that the teachings were there earlier so I could do them in the morning!!
Praise God for he is good!!
Susan, thank you so much for this, thank you for the video, the worksheet and I thank God for you. You are a blessing, his vessel and you have allowed him to use you for our growth.
Thank you so much for this video,it is very useful to me and I am really enjoying.God bless you.
The information is very helpful and to know that it’s a connection to Gods word helps me to push more. Thank you so much for the prayers, the teachings, and the daily devotionals. I am enjoying every moment
Susan thank you so much. I feel that God is moving mightily in my life and all of us participating in this 2017 fast. It is so true what you say and what my heart has longed for on this fast more faith a deeper real faith. I too sense oftentimes of praying for healing or whatever and a part of me is doubting I will receive it.. it is too good to be true! I feel awful when I see my doubt but being a part of this fast and on FB and on your blog just shows me I am not alone. God is with me He is Emanuel! You speak what is tugging on me in my walk! Again thank you for all that you do and the tremendous responsibility you must have. I am exhausted just with keeping up my journal preparing food and studying the word of God! I guess it is all new and takes getting used to but I truly sense the presence of God and the Holy Spirit…They got me thru Day 1 and will carry me through to completion. Praise Him!
Thank you Susan. I’m on day two of the fast , thoroughly enjoying the the teachings. I am a Christian but need help in developing and proving my faith.
