“Unwavering Faith” with King James Version (KJV) scriptures:
Title: Unwavering Faith – Standing Firm in Every Storm
Introduction
Define unwavering faith: A steadfast, immovable trust in God regardless of circumstances.

I. The Foundation of Unwavering Faith
Scripture:
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
— Hebrews 11:1 (KJV)
Faith is based on God’s promises, not feelings or sight.
True faith is anchored in God’s unchanging Word.
Support Verse:
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
— Romans 10:17 (KJV)
II. Examples of Unwavering Faith in the Bible
A. Abraham’s Faith
“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;”
— Romans 4:20 (KJV)
Abraham believed God’s promise despite his and Sarah’s old age.
He trusted without visible evidence.
B. Daniel’s Faith in the Lion’s Den
“My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me…”
— Daniel 6:22 (KJV)
Daniel’s faith remained firm even when faced with death.
III. Characteristics of Unwavering Faith
A. Trusts God in Trials
“Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him…”
— Job 13:15 (KJV)
B. Is Not Moved by Fear
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
— 2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)
C. Looks to God, Not Circumstances
“For we walk by faith, not by sight.”
— 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)
IV. How to Build and Maintain Unwavering Faith
A. Abide in the Word
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
— Psalm 119:11 (KJV)
B. Prayer and Communion with God
“Pray without ceasing.”
— 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV)
C. Fellowship with Other Believers
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…”
— Hebrews 10:25 (KJV)
V. The Reward of Unwavering Faith
A. Pleases God
“But without faith it is impossible to please him…”
— Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
B. Brings Victory
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
— 1 John 5:4 (KJV)
C. Receives God’s Promises
“Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust…”
— Psalm 40:4 (KJV)
D. Walk by Faith and NOT by sight
“For we walk by faith, not by sight:”
— 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)
D. Jesus taught that the blessed ones are the ones who believe God without the need of seeing physical evidence.
“Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.”
— John 20:29 (KJV)
VI. Calling Those Things Which Be Not As Though They Were
“(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.”
— Romans 4:17 (KJV)
A. Speaking in Agreement with God’s Word
Unwavering faith speaks what God says, not what the situation looks like.
God’s way is to declare the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10).
When we speak His Word, we align our voice with His will.
B. Abraham’s Example
“He believed, even God… calleth those things which be not as though they were.”
— Romans 4:17b (KJV)
Though Abraham had no child, he called himself “father of many nations” because that’s what God said.
He confessed God’s promise before it was fulfilled physically.
C. Power of the Tongue
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
— Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)
Faith speaks life, healing, provision, and victory even when these are not yet seen.
Our words create an atmosphere of faith or fear—choose faith!
D. Faith Declares What It Believes
“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.”
— 2 Corinthians 4:13 (KJV)
Faith is not silent—it declares God’s promise boldly.
Unwavering faith says: “I am healed,” “God will provide,” “My family is saved,” even before the manifestation.
Encouragement to the Church
Don’t let what you see make you forget what God said.
Speak God’s Word until what you see lines up with what you believe.
Say it, declare it, believe it—and watch God bring it to pass.
“Let the weak say, I am strong.”
— Joel 3:10 (KJV)
Conclusion
Encourage the church to examine their faith.
Challenge them to remain unwavering like Abraham, Daniel, and Job.
Remind them that unwavering faith not only honors God—it moves Him to act.
“Be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord…”
— 1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV)
