What is faith?

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Hebrews 11:1

The word faith is from the Greek word 'Pistis'. It means a firm conviction, being fully persuaded, confidence, assurance, etc. Therefore, we can define faith as present tense confidence of what you hope for. Or being sure of what you hope for.

If you are not sure, confident or convinced concerning the reality of what you hope for, it means you do not have faith. It is also important for you to understand that hope is not faith and faith is not hope. Your hope refers to your expectations, dreams and desires but faith is what gives substance (assurance) for what you hope for (expect).

Without faith, your hope will not materialize because faith is what gives substance to what you hope for. This is why the Bible says in Romans 1:17, "…The just shall live by faith." This means that the life of faith is what every child of God has been called to live.

Therefore, I encourage you to read this special edition of ‘A Word in Due Season’ with great expectation because faith will come to you from the Word, bringing you greater assurance and firm confidence that will cause all you hope for to materialize in this season, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Prayer.

Dear Father, I thank you because my heart is open and my spirit is alert to receive your Word of faith to me in this season. As I receive your Word, grace is imparted to me to be a doer of the Word in Jesus Name. Amen.
