(03/25/2000) Faith is...


hello prayer warriors 1. prayer note: faith is... [Hebrews 11:1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We talked in our last email about the woman with the issue of blood, who through her faith, touched the garment of Jesus and was made whole. She believed and she expected. [Matthew 9:20-22] This is best described by our scripture above in Hebrews 11. Faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. That is sometimes our biggest problem. We have not seen it yet. How can we believe when things in the natural are not as we would hope it to be or is not in line with the Word of God for our lives? We are still sick, in poverty, in need, etc. How can we take possession of the Word of God for ourselves, pray and expect when things in the natural are pressing against us and are so real? That's why it's called faith. If you have already received it, you do not need to exercise faith. Faith is exercised by the woman with the issue of blood when she had a pressing need and reality was staring her in the face. But she believed in something greater than the reality and something greater than herself. That's why, she arose out of her situation and pressed on to seek God's healing in spite of her circumstances. So, what should we do then? [Hebrews 11:6] 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. Diligently seek Him, expect and believe. Have faith, visualize yourself possessing what you will be having and do not see yourself always in your present reality. Because when you have faith, you have the substance of things that you are hoping for and you have the evidence of the things not seen. 2. New prayer requests i.

Prayer update i. update on Gideon -- melissa Our son Gideon Josiah is now over two weeks old, he is still on oxygen and getting help with breathing. His oxygen is between 60- last night as high as 100% His rate is between 33-77 He has a major yeast infection The longer he is getting help with oxygen or breathing the more harm it does his body. I ask that if you could to please stand in agreement with us that our son Gideon will be taken off the machines, that the machines will not have had any effect on him, his lungs will be perfect and this yeast infection will be gone in the name of Jesus.
