Pastor Jason Mangum ministers on Exercising Violent Faith. There should be a tenacity to our faith and a bulldog-like attitude to our faith. The reality of this is described in Matthew 11:12, which says “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence , and the violent take it by force.” We cannot just sit around and do nothing, and still expect anything to change or happen, but we must take it by force. There are spiritual principles that God will show us, so we can live victorious in this life.
