Now faith is confidence in what we hope for(A) and assurance about what we do not see.(B) 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.(C)
3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,(D) so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended(E) as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings.(F) And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.(G)
5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”[a](H) For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him(I) must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen,(J) in holy fear built an ark(K) to save his family.(L) By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.(M)
8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance,(N) obeyed and went,(O) even though he did not know where he was going. Hebrews 11- 1 – 8
All of this happened by faith a word I feel so strongly in my spirit these days.
Some of you are doing theses some are working on a job, some are believing for a baby and a miracle to visit them specifically. Believe this by faith. Some of the people spoken of in the word died before receiving the promise but the word says they saw it from afar off, some received it. The point is, you need to believe it’s been done and step into it in Jesus name by FAITH.
When you believe in God and what he’s said by faith you will start to walk like it.
Dear God give us the powerful measure of faith needed to step on waters we would’ve otherwise shyed away from. Help us to be brave and dare to trust you in every circumstance. If we claim that you are enough let us believe it, by faith we stand today and by faith we declare to step in Jesus’ name amen.
