January 30
Hebrews 11:1

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith: G4102 Assurance, divine persuasion; moral conviction of truthfulness of God; reliance upon Christ for salvation; believe - (a gift of God, never something that man can produce).
Substance: G5287 Sure confidence; a standing under; assurance

Faith is a powerful force operating in our lives. This verse is a written declaration by its writer stating his faith in God and His Word WILL bring on God’s promises for those things hoped for. In this context, the things hoped for was God’s promise of a heavenly home forever in His city. We can, however, take all of God’s promises throughout His Word and declare with confidence that it will come to pass because it is God speaking His promises to you.

We all have things “hoped for” even though we do not see the manifestation of its evidence in our lives. God, however, wants us to reach out to receive that confident faith in Him that He will bring what we hope for, as promised in His Word, will come to pass. We must understand, however, that it is not our voice that changes things, but the more we speak God’s truth, the more we hear our voice speaking God’s truth, and it our voice that gets down into our heart in a greater measure as God works in you to build your faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, and when we speak in our own voice, His truth keeps growing deeper in our heart as we keep speaking it into faith that God will bring about His promise. As such, our declarations of God’s truth become critical to our receiving what we hope for.

The more we declare God’s truth, God take that hope to grow it into faith until one day we totally believe it WILL come to pass even though we do not see it happening in our lives. Keeping speaking God’s truth and then watch it grow into faith and then grow into confident faith.

Are you hoping for something that is promised in God’s Word? Can you, with the substance of  confident faith, stand on that promise for your life and declare it to ALL that it WILL, without any doubt, come to pass?. If not, keep declaring God’s promises over you continuously until you see God  manifesting His promise in your life.

I believe:  I speak God’s truth over me today. I believe and I receive!

PRAYER:  Mark 11:22c-23 Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, “Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will come to pass, he will have whatever he says.
