\"faithThe bible tells us that “faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen”.<\/p>\n

Faith is the complete and unwavering belief that something is true, real and will come to pass.<\/p>\n

Whatever you’re trusting God for, once you have “faith” that it will happen for you, it will! That is because you already have the substance<\/em> of that thing and the evidence<\/em> of it. Therefore, you will call it into being.<\/p>\n

FAITH IS SUBSTANCE<\/h1>\n

FAITH IS EVIDENCE<\/h1>\n

The key to faith is knowing that your God is all-powerful. He is the owner of the infinite universe and all the countless stars and planets. Therefore, whatever you’re trusting Him for is no more difficult for Him than it is for a human being to move a speck of dust.<\/p>\n

As Jesus said to the woman who trusted Him for healing: “your faith<\/em> has made you whole”, so let your faith make you whole, complete and lacking no good thing.<\/p>\n

Remember, Jesus says “if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move that mountain.” And you can take that literally!<\/p>\n

How big is your faith?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
