Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)
Faith is the title deed of unseen realities. Faith is a force that makes things happen. Faith always works, if it didn’t work it was never faith.
Many times people confuse their hope, belief and emotions for faith. Faith is none of that. Faith is definite assurance of desired result. Faith never doubts or fears. It is always followed by action. It doesn’t wait to pronounce victory. Faith is assured of victory without any physical evidence.
It’s like a woman who is pregnant, you can’t see her baby with your physical eyes, but it is still a reality. The woman is the mother. She prepares, talks and lives like one. Even though the baby is not in her arms yet. That’s what faith does, it lives in the reality of the desired result, and that causes that desired result to come to pass.
God told Abraham to change his name from Abram to Abraham, as He was going make Abraham, a father of many nations, while he was still childless( ref. Genesis 17:4-6). Abraham called himself so since that day, you can imagine people mock him for changing name at such an old age, yet he was not moved. Bible says in Romans 4:20-21: “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”. Did he become a father? Ofcourse, yes. Issac was born to Sarah and Abraham, despite their old age. And, today in Christ we are all seeds of Abraham(ref. Galatians 3:29). So, you see faith always works.
If you have seen your faith not producing expected result for you; then dig deep into the Word. Fill yourself with it, faith comes only by hearing the Word of God (ref. Romans 10:17). Grow in faith. Eliminate every inch of doubt and fear from your heart, with truth; that is the Word of God. Thus, you will have prevailing faith, and it will always work.
Confession:
I have prevailing faith in me. My faith conquers the world! Irrespective of the circumstances around me and the happenings in the world today, I have the faith to rule my world, my faith always works, in Jesus Name. Amen!
