                 Do You Know What Faith Is?

Do you not know what faith is? Faith has nothing to do with your eyes
or what you can see in the natural. Faith is standing on My promises 
in spite of your circumstances. 

Faith is waiting patiently on Me, no matter how long, until I perform 
My word. Faith is running to Me when your heart has been broken instead 
of running to the alcohol bottle. Faith is receiving your healing when 
there is nothing but pain in your body. Faith is knowing I will provide 
when there is no food on the table. Faith is not worrying when you 
hear bad news. Faith is when you stand up face-to-face with your 
problems and say, "I am more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus."

Faith is walking in My victory; it is believing in an manner that 
ushers forth the mighty move of My hand that this generation so 
longs to see.
