Mark 2:4-5

When they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above Jesus; and when they had dug out an opening, they let down the mat on which the paralyzed man was lying. When Jesus saw their (active) faith (springing from confidence in Him), He said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.

For our faith to work, we have to have faith in the finished works of Jesus. If our hearts are convinced from our study of the word, we will speak in faith about our circumstances. Our faith is an active faith relying on the word of God. Faith is a mindset that will not allow the distraction of doubt to enter from the enemy.
