Faith

Faith!
We know that faith cometh by hearing, and hearing from the word of God,
(Romans 10:17), and faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen.
Hebrews. 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
We have to believe and not doubt! Dont look at the circumstances, look to Jesus, the author and
finisher of our Faith! Our Faith is built up by reading the bible. It is impossible to please God
without Faith! We should walk by Faith and not by Sight (II Cor. 5:7).
When we have confidence and trust in the Lord, He has confidence in us.
I John 5:14:15
14
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his
will, he heareth us:
15
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions
that we desired of him.
The more time we spend with our heavenly Father, the more Faith we
will have!

There are many patriarchs of old that lived by Faith. Abraham was one of them. He was
called the father of Faith. While living in Haran at the age of seventy-five, Abraham received
a calling from God to go to a strange, unknown land, and God would show him the Promised
Land. God told Abraham he would make him and his descendants a great nation. (Genesis
12:1-3).
The promise must have seemed unbelievable to him because his wife Sarah was old and
childless. (Genesis 11:30-31).
But Abraham obeyed God with no doubt or disbelief. He obeyed God by Faith and took Sarah
and his nephew Lot, and went to the land that God would show him. He truly trusted in the
Lord and is still called the father of Faith! Thank you Jesus!
The Faith Chapter

Hebrews Chapter 11
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so
that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he
obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he
being dead yet speaketh.
5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found,
because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony,
that he pleased God.
6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
7
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,
prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world,
and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after
receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he
went.
9
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in
tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11
Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was
delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who
had promised.
1
12
Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the
stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore
innumerable.
13
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them
afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that
they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
14
For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
15
And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out,
they might have had opportunity to have returned.
16
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not
ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
17
By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received
the promises offered up his only begotten son,
18
Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
19
Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence
also he received him in a figure.
20
By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
21
By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and
worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
22
By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of
Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
23
By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because
they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's
commandment.
24
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of
Pharaoh's daughter;
25
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the
pleasures of sin for a season;
26
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for
he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
27
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as
seeing him who is invisible.
28
Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that
destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29
By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians
assaying to do were drowned.
30
By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven
days.
31
By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she
had received the spies with peace.
32
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of
Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the
prophets:
33
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained
promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
34
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness
were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
4
35
Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not
accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
36
And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds
and imprisonment:
37
They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the
sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute,
afflicted, tormented;
38
(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in
mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
39
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the
promise:
40
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not
be made perfect.
Jeremiah is another prophet with Great Faith! In Jeremiah 33:3 The Lord tells us to call on
Him and He will answer our prayers!
Jeremiah 33:3
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things,
which thou knowest not
Jeremiahs 32:39
39
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for
the good of them, and of their children after them:
RememberJesus will never leave us or forsake us!
Hebrews 13:5
5Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things
as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee
