The Thomas kind of faith.

"But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe."

John 20:24-25

The Thomas kind of faith is the kind of faith that wants to see first before it believes. That was why Thomas insisted that except he saw in the hands of Jesus the print of the nails, put his finger into it, and thrust his hand into his side, he would not believe.

The Thomas kind of faith wants to see and touch before believing. The Thomas kind of faith is not what you should live by as a child of God. God expects you to live by the God-kind of faith. That was the faith that Abraham lived by and the Bible says in Romans 4:19-21, "And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform."

Abraham did not allow his circumstances to determine the validity of the Word of God, neither should you as a child of God consider any negative circumstance that you see. Hold on to the sworn declaration of the Word of God and be confident knowing that He is able to do all He has said.

Confession.

In the Name of Jesus, I take the Word of God as my final authority because I believe that He that has promised is able also to bring it to pass. Every negative circumstance is a mirage but if God said it, I believe it because I know it shall be unto me according to His Word.
