About This Message
Unveiling the Stronghold of Faith [Raw Faith] is a message by Bishop David Oyedepo on the real source behind faith that actually produces results.
Bishop Oyedepo opens from Romans 10:17 — “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” — but pushes past it to what he calls the missing link in the Church today: faith comes not just by hearing the Word of God, but by hearing from God. He traces this through the heroes of Hebrews 11, showing that Abraham, Moses, and the apostles all rose by direct, personal encounters with God’s voice, and that this access — not mental agreement with Scripture — is the true stronghold of unshakable faith.
From there, the message becomes intensely practical, outlining four ways believers can position themselves to hear God’s voice: being spiritual, walking in the Spirit, maintaining a lifestyle of praise, and engaging prayer and fasting as a lifestyle rather than a rescue system. Bishop Oyedepo illustrates each with personal testimonies spanning decades of his ministry — from the 1981 word that freed him from debt, to the 1996 instruction to build on a site that broke every church-growth principle he knew, to a covenant revelation on Kingdom prosperity. It closes with the spiritual foundation of prosperity, a call to sanctification, and an invitation to salvation.

Key Scripture
Romans 10:17
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Bishop Oyedepo opens the message with this verse, then builds the entire teaching on the deeper layer beneath it: that faith comes not only by hearing the Word, but by hearing directly from God.
