How Faith Works
I used to believe that faith was
simply making the decision to step out of my
comfort zone by taking a giant leap or step into
the unknown. But real faith
isn’t a hope in the unknown but is a deep knowing in your
spirit based on God's Word.
Faith bridges
the gaps!
When we face certain situations
in life it may feel like we are standing on the
edge of a cliff with a great chasm between us and
the other side (our destination). That does
not mean that we have to muster up some faith to
blindly take a giant leap to get to the other
side. We simply need revelation of God’s
Word. Why? Because God’s Word bridges
the gap! The Word becomes a bridge; a firm
foundation that we walk on to cross over to the
other side. We walk by faith according to
what the Word says by taking one step at a time
and by keeping our trust and focus on God. Isn’t
that simple? Therefore, faith is not like
stepping out off a cliff and trying to believe
that God will catch us. Faith is a tangible
substance and when it is based on God’s Word, it
grounds us.
Faith is a firm
foundation
Heb.
11:1(KJV) Now faith is the
substance
of things hoped
for, the evidence
of things not
seen.
Substance
means: that
which has actual existence, confidence, firm
trust, and assurance
Evidence
means: proof,
conviction, title deed, receipt
Faith based on God’s Word as our foundation will
keep us firm and steady. Therefore,
when the Word
says that we are not barren, that we will not
miscarry, that we are fruitful and that we are
healed, then it is our evidence and proof that we
have those things.
To conclude this message on faith remember that
faith enables you to believe for the outcome you
desire. It is what you have until your
answer arrives. When your faith has come
and grown from the Word of God and from your
relationship with Him it will be strong and
steady. This will
enable you to continue to walk by the Word and
not by your feelings, emotions or what your
circumstances dictate to you. It will draw your answer
to you and it will be just a matter of time and
you will walk in and possess what is
yours!
