Hello Prophet David,

Faith is what releases the power of God to change your circumstances and without it; it is impossible to please God.

The central focus of True Religion is Jesus Christ. "Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of Our Faith" (Hebrews 12:2). Faith is confidence in Jesus, Whose "Name is called The Word of God" (Revelation 19:13). Unlike the blind leap of faith described by the world, True "Faith is substance" (Hebrews 11:1) and "evidence" (11:1) of the trustworthiness of Jesus. Until or unless we place our confidence in Jesus Christ, we will not and cannot exercise True Faith. "Now faith is the substance [Greek, hupostasis, which literally means confidence] of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (11:1). All that we know about Jesus, that we can trust with absolute certainty, has been revealed to us in the Scriptures. "Thy Word is Truth" (John 17:17). When we confide and rely upon the revelation of the person and character of Jesus Christ that has been revealed to us in Scripture, then we are Truly Believing. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" (Romans 10:17).

Some have supposed that Jesus was merely a very significant man to come upon the human scene over 2,000 years ago; but, He was and is all that, and much more. "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of grace and Truth" (John 1:14). If we have truly understood Jesus, then we have come to the conclusion that Jesus is the Living God-- the same Creator that generated the world ex nihilo (out of nothing). "16 For by Him [Jesus, i.e., the Father's 'Dear Son' (v. 13)] were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: 17 and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist" (Colossians 1:16-17). The world's inability to accept Jesus as anything more than another entry into their pantheon of gods, does not diminish the Truth that Jesus is the One that all men must trust for Time and Eternity. "Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is none other Name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). In fact, the Saints have the serene confidence that the entire world will ultimately confess-- willingly or unwillingly-- that Jesus is Almighty God. "That at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in Heaven, and things in Earth, and things under the Earth" (Philippians 2:10).

Confidence in Jesus Christ to redeem us from the misery of our past sinful life is the beginning of Salvation, if we have yet to be thoroughly persuaded by the Holy Spirit that any attempt to live life without Jesus is worse than useless, but actually sinful. "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away" (Isaiah 64:6). If we have concluded with the Apostle Paul that "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Philippians 4:13), then we must have realized the meaning of the words of Jesus Christ, speaking as a man, that "I can of mine own self do nothing" (John 5:30). In other words, we must look to Jesus to begin the Christian life, which is Salvation; and, we must continue to look to Him to sustain us in our Christian walk, which is Sanctification. "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, My Soul shall have no pleasure in him" (Hebrews 10:38). And, from what should we not "draw back"? We must never cease to trust Jesus to guide, comfort, deliver, and provide for every urgent requirement of life by a Spirit-directed manifestation of the character of the "Great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13), as can be found by diligent search of the Scriptures. "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life: and they are they which testify of Me" (John 5:39).
THANK YOU BROTHER! MORE
The evidence of things unseen, and the conviction of things hoped for.
You either live a faith based life or a fear based life.

Faith=God, and God is love=perfect love casts out fear
Fear=satan..unrest,confusion,deception,lies.etc=satans tools

One person told me faith is taking the first step climbing a set of stairs even though you can't see the steps.
Another person said faith is knowing that when something in the natural seems impossible that faith as a mustard seed can cure that stage 4 cancer or make any miracle happen if it is Gods will.
Faith is what we have in God, knowing He has our well being and best interests at heart always and even if it seems everything is going wrong..God won't fail us.
Faith is someone that once said there was no God and then ends up in an emergency room telling God if only you will spare a loved ones very life..I will come back to you and be what you want me to be.
Faith is a drug addict that everyone says is far beyond any hope and then comes along a Christian that has been there and done that and sees him or herself all over again in that person as what they once were, but given a second chance and because they did, want to see another person have that chance too...to have a Savior named Jesus.
Faith is knowing there is a God and He loved us so much He allowed His only begotten son Jesus to die on a cross for us..and even if you or I were the only one..He would have die on that cross just for you or me and did.
Faith is believing and hope and love combined..
Faith says we are all sinners and deserve death, but because Jesus died on that cross we may live and have everlasting life. We have the faith we will one day go to Heaven and walk on streets of gold.
Faith is saying stronger is He that is in me, and I do have the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions.
Faith is knowing the battle is already won, and the victory is Gods.
