-Understanding Faith
-Based on Hebrews 11:1
-FAITH in God is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed or ownership papers) of the things we trusting in God for.
-Faith in God is the proof that we have the things we do not see and being fully convinced of their reality.
-Faith in God is to foreknow and accept as real fact the promises of God that are not yet manifested or revealed to the senses.
Based on Romans 4:14-22 KJV
“For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: [15] because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. [16] Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, [17] (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. [18] Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. [19] And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: [20] he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; [21] and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. [22] And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.”
-Faith in God calls those things that are not as though they were.
-I didn’t say faith call those things that are as though they are not, (this is against scripture).
-Example: If a man is sick. His confession of faith shouldn’t be, “I’m not sick. I’m not sick.” His confession of faith should be, “I’m healed. I’m healed ” thus calling the things that are not as though they were.
2 Corinthians 4:13-18 KJV says :
“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; [14] knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. [15] For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. [16] For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. [17] For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; [18] while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
* Continue to keep you faith in the Lord.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to Jesus be all the glory. Amen!
As Jude 1:24-25 AMPC says:
“Now to Him Who is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present [you] unblemished (blameless and faultless) before the presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation [with unspeakable, ecstatic delight]– [25] To the one only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory (splendor), majesty, might and dominion, and power and authority, before all time and now and forever (unto all the ages of eternity). Amen (so be it).”
