My brothers and sisters, this text is toned and tenured with faith as the component that brings the miracle to life, and so against the backdrop of the famous faith text of Hebrews 11:1 as it says, now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
From this verse we learn three important concepts about the process, the productivity and the power of faith.
First, we learn the concept of relative to now faith. It says now faith. And may I share with you that, Faith that operates on a Delayed schedule is not now faith.
Faith that will produce results is faith that operates in the now.
Faith must always, I said, always be ahead of schedule.
Now faith is faith that moves immediately.
Now faith, is faith that never waits on the result of a thing. Why? Because what I have learned is that now faith, is trusting today for a desired of the outcome for tomorrow.
Write this down, now faith has perfect attendance. In other words, now faith is never absent. Whenever a situation arises, you never have to wait on faith, not now faith. Because now faith is always daring a situation to come, so that now faith can step into action.
Now faith is like the sun, it is always shining.
Even on a cloudy day it’s still lights the day.
Even when the darkness comes, just like the sun, it’s not missing it’s just hidden only to shine again. Somebody, say now faith.
The second concept we learn is that faith is necessary for the invisible. What are you saying pastor? I’m saying that faith is like an ointment; it works best when it’s applied. In other words, the application of faith is for that, which is unseen. The Bible says, we walk by faith and not by sight. What that says to me is that, if I can see it, it’s not faith. I don’t need to believe for something that already exists. My faith is applied to something that I want to bring into being.
The Bible says, call those things which be not as though they were. So, I’m releasing faith to go after something to bring it to me.
Faith says yes, I’m invisible but available. The location of it is not a concern because faith says I will find the need. Faith says I just need permission to go after it.
Finally, the third concept we learn about faith is that it comes in the form of a question. What is your desired outcome? Remember Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The thing that is hoped for is what is absent.
So, the substance is not the thing that is absent.
The substance is what I have in my hand. So, I’m sending what’s in my hand to go after what I want to add to my hand. I’m sending the Tangible to go after the Intangible.
The Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God.
So, if I want to please God, I must have faith. In other words, faith is mandatory. And if faith is mandatory whatever I assign it to is mandated to come to me according to the will and the ways of God.
If I assign it to HEALING, and it’s God’s will, healing is coming to me.
If I assign it to FINANCES, and it’s God’s will, finances are coming to me.
If I assign it to PEACE, and it’s God’s will, peace is coming to me
If I assign it to HAPPINESS, and it’s God’s will, happiness is coming to me
Faith is mandatory. Whatever I assign it to, that thing is mandated to come to me, but remember only if it’s God’s will.
My brothers and sisters can I tell you that your faith is waiting on an assignment. Look at the text. This woman in our focal text assigned her faith to her daughter’s healing. The expectation was for healing.
But before getting healed there were a few other things she had to get initially.
Before you get what, or what you’re believing the Lord for, He adds to what you are praying for, by increasing your faith.
Whenever, you receive from the Lord, it should increase your faith for the next request. If he, did it before, he can do it again. Because there is no way that the Lord can come through for you this time and you don’t believe Him even more for the next time. It may not come in the form in which we think, but the Lord knows how to bless us and when to bless us.
This job should give you, faith for the next job
This place in which you live, should give you faith for the next place to live.
