“Faith”...Thursday

9/18/14

 Now faith is the substance

 of things hoped for, 

the evidence of  things 
not seen.

Hebrews 11:1

This scripture is not a definition of faith but a description of faith. Definition of substance is “essence” or “reality.”  Faith treats things hoped for as reality. Evidence means “proof” or “conviction” Faith itself proves that what is unseen is real.

You know Faith that we released months ago is working right now. For example over three years ago we in faith believed in opening a Charis Bible College and today it is up and running.  In the Spirit by faith we could see our  school with its students in it receiving the Grace  message. 

Faith is not an emotion or a feeling it is not just an attitude.  Faith is an actual Spiritual reality and force.  When we release faith it will continue to work until it moves the mountain.  

 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 

‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart 

but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.'

Mark 11:23

It is by faith that we understand everything from God.  By faith we believe God created the earth.  By Faith we believe Jesus went to the Cross for us.  By faith we believe He took every sickness on the cross with Him. By faith we believe He became poor so we did not have to live in lack.  It is by faith we believe every promise that He has given to us. 

There is a story in II Kings that talks about how Elisha’s faith was working even after his death.  A dead man’s body was brought back to life by just touching the bones of Elisha.  There was enough power in that man’s bones to resurrect the dead.

Faith is a spiritual force and it does not stop unless we stop it.  Faith is powerful.
