FAITH ALWAYS WORKS

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] (Hebrews 11:1
AMP).
Sometimes, people have
a little confusion about
what faith is. You hear
them make statements
like, “But I believed! I
actually had faith, how
come it didn ’t work?”
The truth is, you
actually were still in
the arena of
believing, and not of
faith. Believing is not
faith. If what you had
was faith then it ought
to work, for faith
always works.
The Bible describes
faith for us as the
substance of things
hoped for, the
evidence of things not
seen (Hebrews 11:1).
That means faith calls
real what you hope
for; those things you ’ve
been expecting, that
looked so far away,
have now become your
present-hour
possessions, not
because you can now
physically touch them,
but because faith sees
them as real. Faith is
the evidence that you
have them now, even if
they ’re invisible to the
physical eyes; faith is
all the proof you need.
Through faith, your
spirit takes a hold of
something you ’ve hoped
for and lays claim to it.
That ’s when you
declare, “I got it!”
From then on, never
say you didn ’t get it. If
at the point of faith,
you declared you were
healed, you don ’t have
to keep checking your
body to see whether or
not the condition has
changed, or whether
the symptoms have
disappeared. That
wouldn’t be necessary,
for the evidence you
need to prove you ’re
healed is not the
disappearance of the
symptom, but the
Word of faith in your
spirit.No one who has
faith should say “I
don’t know why it’s not
working.” Thinking that
way is proof that it
wasn ’t faith. Faith isn’t
when you’re trying to
believe for something;
rather, it ’s the
acknowledgement that
what you ’ve been hoping
for has become yours.
It doesn ’t matter if
your physical eyes can’t
see it; what matters is
the reality of it in your
spirit.
Confession
My faith is alive and
working. I refuse to
entertain doubts in my
heart, for I know faith
always works. My faith
is the victory that
overcomes the world;
it ’s also the only proof
I require to know that
the things I ’ve hoped
for are now my
present-hour
possessions
Mark 11:
23: For verily I say to
you, That whosoever
shall say to this
mountain.Be you
removed, and be you
cast into the see; and
shall not doubt in his
heart, but shall believe
that those things which
he says shall come to
pass; he shall have
whatsoever he says.
1 John 5:
4: For whatsoever is
born of God overcomes
the world: and this is
the victory that
overcomes the world,
even our faith.
Romans 4:
16: Therefore it is of
fatih, 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 law, but to that
also which is of faith
of Abraham; who is
the father of us all,
17: (As it is written, i
have made you a
father of many
nations) before Him
whom he believed, evn
God, who makes alive
the dead, and calls
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 your seed be.
19: And being not weak
in faith, he considered
not his own body now
dead, when he was
about a 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 also able to
perform.
22: And therefore it
was imputed to him for
righteousness.
