1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Now faith means that we are confident of what we hope for .. convinced of what we do not see..
The Difference between Faith and Hope.
What God is simply tellingus is that faith is laying hold of the unseen realm of hope and bringing it into the realm of reality.
Faith is Present Tense.
Faith is NOW. if its not NOW is not Faith. I believe I will get holy Spirit somethimes .. That is not FAITH.
Faith says I received it NOW
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
The principle of faith is Now and its the same for any issues. !!!
You don’t recieve anything from God through HOPE. It’s by Faith that you received.
Hope Vs Faith in The prayer of Agreement .
19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
What are we ageering on ?. lol
Prayer doesn’t change God , Prayer change circumstances. He his faithful and always Faithful .
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,
21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.
If I pray and do not recieved , then I start changing !!!.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
don’t make people hope for what only Faith can produce !!.
Hope is Future Tense . Faith is NOW.
Thank God we do have a Blessed Hope . The blessed Hope of the church is the soon return of the Lord Jesus christ , the resurrection of the saved dead , the rapture of the living saints , the hope of heaven . We rejoice in that Hope , but it is future tense .
My faith cannoot bring Jesus back . !!. In other words, I can’t believe that he will come at a particular time and have faith bring HIM back .
Jesus is coming but it is future tense .. That is our future.
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
I do believe Jesus is coming back, guess what His coming wether i believe it or not.
But if I say , I believe I am going to get my healing sometimes , that is not believing at all , Its Hope , not faith and Hope won’t bring healing to YOU!!!.
Someone Said . I believe God is going to Heal me , But that is not faith , That is HOPE !!. Anything that point to the future is Hope , It is not Faith , Becuase Faith is NOW .. Faith is
1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith says, It is MINE and I have it NOW!!
Hope says I will get it sometime
as long as your are in Hope it will come to pass.!!, The moment you start believing and acting like God’s Word is so , your faith will work for you.
Changing HOPE to Faith.
You cannot belive beyond actual knowlwdge .
13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Believe You receive your petition before you have it .
Faithe Principle works in any area of receiving .
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Faith is Now !!
It get the Job Done
