The Bible gives us some good definitions as to what faith is. Hebrews tells us it is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. The seed of faith is planted when we come into total agreement with God’s Word on whatever it is we are hoping and believing God for.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title-deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality--faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses. (Amplified Version)
Using this definition of faith we should be able to come up with a whole new vision and purpose for our lives and what we can actually accomplish through faith. You do not have to settle for your life as it is. God wants you through faith to come into the fullness of what He has for you.
Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
Praise is the language or the confession of faith and the more we praise God for what He has done and is doing in our lives, the more we realize the victory we have and of which we are presently walking in.
What kind of a faith picture do you have for your life? Your family? Your marriage? Your job? Your business? Do you know what God's will is for you in all of these areas? If so, then you can begin to apply faith. God's will is for you to prosper in all of these areas. |
