The Ability Of Faith
Hebrews 11:1 starts by defining what Faith is what
it can do, how men of the past were able to use it to have great results. We see that man like Daniel rose politically because of their faith, how he stood
for the faith and how God rewarded that faith.
The bible says faith is the substance of things we
hope for and the evidence of the things we hope for which are not seen.
The writer was explaining to us that faith is a
real element in the heart that can create the substance of things we hope for.
In other words faith is so real in us that it can be recognized and felt and
seen. Paul said to the man who was crippled arise and walk after he saw his
faith.
Am not sure if it was the action that
correspondences to his faith that Paul saw or it was something that he
discerned spiritually. Weather spiritually or carnally that part of the man
which we are calling faith was seem physically. It was so real that it could be
seen.

| The Ability of Faith |
Furthermore, we can define faith is the reality of
the unseen, the proof of that which is not and the evidence of the things that
are unseen.
Faith is important to a believer’s life and to
every spiritual being because that is one element in us that can bring the
unseen realities of God.
Without faith it is impossible to please God, but them
that seek Him must draw unto Him with faith and He will reveal Himself to them.
Faith is essential for a believer to have a
relationship with Him. God expect the just, the righteous to live by faith.
Hebrews
2:4
Hold the proud,
His soul is not upright in him;
But the just shall live by his faith
NKJV
Faith can translate life to a believer and become
a mode of one’s survival, creating what you need for survival. Such faith is
developed but having a living relationship with God and by fellowship with His
Spirit.
Jesus in answering Mary the sister of Lazarus He
said if you can believe you shall see His Glory. The Glory of God is all that
God has and all that God is, faith is what causes to manifest of the divine
Glory of God in our lives.
We can indeed have all that God has! Jesus said
whatever that belongs to my father belongs to me. In actual sense Jesus was
saying I have access to the Glory of God the Father by Faith.
