Faith is seeing beyond the natural into the supernatural, with confidence and the assurance that God has it all under control. It’s going to be all right because faith is not self-will, self-confidence, self-determination, self-effort, or self-motivation but faith is totally putting all your trust and confidence in the almighty God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Without Faith It Is Impossible to Please God” by Pastor Roy Ricky Payne is a Christian faith-based book that explores the meaning, purpose, power, and practical application of faith in the life of a believer. Proudly published by Citi of Books, the book is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retail platforms.
Pastor Roy Ricky Payne has devoted his life to reaching those who are often overlooked, rejected, or struggling to find hope and faith in God. Since 1995, he has faithfully preached and taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ through outreach ministries across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, serving in hospitals, homeless shelters, jails, prisons, and on the streets. His passion for ministry has allowed him to connect with people from all walks of life, sharing God’s love where it is needed most.
Through the apostolic and prophetic calling entrusted to him, Pastor Payne has witnessed countless lives transformed by the power of God, including individuals whom society had given up on. Inspired by these experiences, he was led to write this book on faith to encourage the remnant God is gathering, reminding readers to place their complete trust in Him regardless of life’s circumstances.
Rather than presenting faith as merely an abstract religious concept, Pastor Payne
examines how faith can shape a person’s response to uncertainty, hardship, prayer, spiritual battles, disappointment, and the challenges of everyday life.
The book begins by defining faith as the God-given ability to believe in what cannot yet be seen and emphasizes the biblical instruction to walk by faith rather than by sight. From there, it examines the difference between relying on natural understanding and placing complete confidence in God. The author explains that faith requires believers to look beyond their immediate circumstances and trust God’s promises even when the desired outcome cannot yet be seen.
The book develops this message through ten chapters that examine different dimensions of faith. Among its major subjects are natural faith, the God kind of faith, salvation faith, the measure and growth of faith, special faith, prayer with faith, the “In-Spite-of Faith,” doubt, and the testing of faith. Pastor Payne repeatedly turns to biblical examples—including Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Caleb, David, Peter, Paul, Job, Samson, and several people who encountered Jesus—to illustrate how faith operates when people are confronted by circumstances that appear impossible. The book also addresses the relationship between faith and doubt, explaining how fear, uncertainty, discouragement, and reliance on human wisdom can weaken a person’s confidence in God.
“Without Faith It Is Impossible to Please God” is compelling because it approaches faith as something believers are called to live out when circumstances become difficult, rather than something that exists only as a theological idea. Readers who have experienced uncertainty, disappointment, delayed answers to prayer, personal struggles, or situations that seem beyond their control may find particular relevance in the author’s repeated encouragement to continue trusting God.
Readers are encouraged not simply to acknowledge the importance of faith but to examine how they respond when their circumstances appear to contradict what they believe. For Christians seeking encouragement to remain steadfast, strengthen their prayer life, confront doubt, and continue trusting God during difficult seasons, “Without Faith It Is Impossible to Please God” offers a faith-centered message built around Scripture, personal testimony, and practical spiritual reflection.
