What is Faith?



What is Faith?

The definition of faith (or faith defined) is often referred to in Hebrews, Chapter 11, verse 1 as this...

 "Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen."

 The Amplified version, states that, "FAITH is the assurance, the confirmation, the title deed of the things we hope for, being the proof of things (we) do not see..."

 So in other words, FAITH brings to substance the things we are hoping for, making that thing we're hoping for (and can't see) evident...so that we can see it. (I hope I didn't lose you there...)

FAITH brings what we're hoping for into manifestation, so that the thing we can't see, becomes seen.

In order to see the promises of God made manifested in our lives, it's going to require FAITH.

FAITH is like a vehicle, we extend our FAITH, apply our FAITH to what we can't see, but believe in our heart, according to the Word of God that it shall come to pass, and FAITH applied will bring what we couldn't see (in the natural) to pass in our lives.

FAITH is like a vehicle, it helps to transport, it helps to bring to pass the thing that we are hoping and believing God for...

FAITH is absolutely essential in the life of the Believer...It is the way of LIFE!

For the "..Just shall live by FAITH.."(Hebrews 10:38) I encourage you to continue to feed your faith, for without it, it is impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6)

Heaven on Earth

God did not create us to be ordinary people, WE ARE EXTRAORDINARY Beings! We are Ambassadors of Christ, having the POWER within to manifest Heaven on earth... Matthew 6:10 says, "Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven". The Kingdom of God is in You. (Luke 17:21) Let what's inside of YOU -- OUT!

Where is Your Vision?

Image
From the very beginning, we see where God would lead and guide Biblical leaders by VISION. We see where God would reveal purpose, destiny, His plan by giving them the ability to  SEE beyond, what they could SEE in the natural, at that very moment. In Genesis Chapter 15, verse 5, God took Abram outside and said to him, "Look up at the sky and count the stars...if you are able to count them."   God said to him, that's how many descendants you will have! In other words, so many Abram that you can not even count them... Abram do you see it? The Bible says in verse 6, "Abram believed the Lord".  Abram believed God, to where although in his current situation, he did not have one seed , one child of his own [yet], and God told him he would be a father of many nations...and so many descendants, he would not be able to even count them -- Abram STILL BELIEVED GOD! Why? Because Abram could SEE, He had VISION beyond HIS CURRENT circumstance and situation, en...

God said it, That Settles it!

I am convinced that if  God said it, then that settles it! As we grow in our relationship with God, coming into the knowledge and understanding of His Word , we come to better understand God's will for our lives, as He states in  His Word. The Bible tells us that God "watches over His Word to perform it" (Jeremiah 1:12) His Word does not return unto Him void, but His Word does what He said it will do!   (Isaiah 55:11)   What God has spoken, it will be fulfilled. So what is God's will for us, according to His Word...He said that Jesus has come so that you have life (John 10:10) , not just barely live day-to-day or just barely get by in life, but to live life  to the full, to the overflow.  In 3 John 2, God's Word says, "Beloved I wish above ALL things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers."  God's will according to His Word, is that we rule and reign in life through Jesus Christ. That we prosper and flourish...
