Faith!

In the Bible, Hebrews 11:1 says: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

FAITH IS SUBSTANCE – Lets break the word substance down. Sub - a prefix which means under. Stance-1) means an attitude of position of the body. 2) a stand point, an attitude of mind.

Substance together means-1) The essential material forming a thing. 2) Seriousness or steadiness of character. 3) Real meaning or essence of a thing. 4) wealth and possessions. Let’s sum it up a bit.

Faith is - (sub) that thing under you (stance) that gives you the attitude of mind to stand on what you believe, until it produces the essential material to form what you hope for, which is wealth, possession, and power in God.

Guess What! Whatever it is you hope for, just have F-A-I-T-H, take a stand until it produces the essential material to form that thing. You must have a steadiness of character, be serious and don’t doubt. If you want the things you hope for to form out of faith, you must speak faith into it always. Remember your words have power so be sure to speak faith!
