In the fallen world that we live in there will be turmoil . There will be confrontation, there will be devastation and there will be rampant inhumanity toward man , by man. These are absolutes, because we live in a fallen world. The first man, Adam, made sure of that; so we must be practical and diligent in how we exercise our faith.

Hebrew 11: 1 says that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Faith is not a solid object that we can reach out and touch. It is not even a earthly concept. It is more a state of mind. It is our point of view. Faith is developed and refined. It is like the fermentation of a yeast when you make bread. It rises to gigantic proportions supernaturally. That is faith. We don’t quite know how the bread rose… all we know is that it did.

So it is with prayer, when we engage in prayer, it is faith in action.  An action step and we wait for the evidence of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. We take the action of prayer, because we believe that this unseen action step (prayer) will be heard by God, through Jesus Christ. That is a powerful leap of faith. We have no guarantees, No man or woman gave us a certificate and said that it would happen. Yet we believed strongly enough that we focused on Jesus Christ and the Cross  in prayer and presented our request to God and we believed that the evidence of the act would come to pass.

We never know when it would happen. We don’t know how it would happen, We don’t know under what circumstances that it will happen. We don’t know where it will happen. But we take God’s word that it will happen whenever we exercise our faith through prayer. That is what true faith is.

To you have true faith? Do you truly believe that God will do what he said he will do through his Son and our Savior Jesus Christ? Activate your faith, by focusing on the Kingdom, The Body of Christ; The Father the Son and the Holy Ghost. Activate this focus with the action step of prayer and remember. Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
