In your own words, define Biblical faith.

Hebrews 11:1-2 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.” (NKJV)  What are the three things that this verse tells us about faith?

Does faith deny my personal present experience? Why or why not?

What does it mean to identify with Heaven’s reality and where does the reality of Heaven know where to land?

The only thing that validates and releases power into my circumstance is faith that is rooted in God’s Word.  Explain why that is.

Father, I believe that Your Word is eternal and does not change. When You send forth Your Word, it always produces fruit. I can rest assured that Your Word will accomplish all that You want it to and it will prosper everywhere You send it. Your Word is the only level ground on which I can lay my foundation. Jesus, You taught us to pray Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Right now, I choose to align my thoughts to heaven’s reality and by faith I am confident that I will see Your kingdom manifested in my circumstance. Thank you, Father! You are always faithful to fulfill Your Word.
