Scripturally, faith is a function of revelation Acts 8:26-35
That is, spiritual understanding of the truth is what stirs faith Rom. 10:17
But there is a battle against our access to revelation 2Cor. 4:4
In most cases, the battle for access to revelation requires prayer and fasting to conquer

It is by light that we shatter the powers of darkness because when we encounter light, faith
comes alive to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked Is. 60:1-3/ Eph. 6:12/ Jn. 1:5/9/ Eph. 6:16

One must exercise himself to always have a good conscience towards God and man
Acts 24:16/ Jer. 17:10
Jesus is Lord!
