Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 NIV).
What you need for an everyday, every moment life of victory is faith. It makes you a possessor NOW! Many function in the arena of hope and mistake it for faith. You must transcend from hope to faith to enjoy your blessings and inheritance in Christ Jesus.
Real faith is a possessor; it takes a hold of the Word and acts. When you take a hold of the Word by faith, you’re like the man who has the documents to a landed property in a certain city, but lives in another part of town. He doesn’t need to wait until he gets to the city where the land is to know it belongs to him. He already has the documents, and that’s enough proof that the land belongs to him.
Your faith is like that document! It’s the title-deed of unseen realities. When you call real that which you haven’t seen with your physical eyes, you’re acting in faith. So to "wait" for the manifestation of God’s Word before accepting it to be real is not faith but hope. Hope always looks to the future; it’s not for now. But faith is for NOW: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).
Take possession of your healing, health, prosperity, and victory by acting on the Word now. Faith doesn’t wait; it acts NOW! It doesn’t waver or stagger at the Word of God through unbelief; faith possesses the reality now.
Prayer
Blessed Father, I thank you for the opportunity to feed on your Word and grow my faith strong. I’m strengthened and lifted by your Word today, and my faith prevails against all opposing forces as I put your Word to work and take possession of all that belongs to me in Christ Jesus. Amen.
