Hebrews 11:1 used the words “now faith.” It indicates active faith. How do we keep our faith active? Romans 10:17 says, “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” 2 Corinthians 10:4 is our battle cry for effective spiritual warfare.

It says, “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” Verse 5 gives us an explanation of how demonically set up strongholds operate ~anything that opposes God’s way.

It says, “Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God…” 2  Peter 1:3 says, “As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.” Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” Our faith increases as we continue to gain experiential knowledge of God.
