(What Other Proof Do You Require?)
TO THE BIBLE: Hebrews 11:1 AMPC
“Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].”
LET’S TALK
Assume it was your birthday, and your favourite aunt, rich and generous, called you on the phone to tell you she just bought you a brand-new iPhone.
You’d believe her and immediately get excited, even though you hadn’t seen the phone. That’s faith; it doesn’t require physical evidence.
The reason you believe and rejoice is that you trust your aunt’s character; otherwise, you’d express doubt upon receiving the news.
Similarly, when you think, talk and act based on the integrity of God’s Word, you’re expressing faith, and you’re bound to have extraordinary results.
Someone once lamented how the Lord gave him a specific word about his healing, prosperity and restoration, yet he claimed he didn’t see evidence that the Word came to pass in his life.
His language actually manifested unbelief. What other evidence is there concerning your blessings and triumphant life besides the Word of God?
Become fully persuaded by the Word of God. Don’t wait for any physical manifestation before you take what God says is yours.
Accept His Word and live accordingly. Your faith is the manifestation, for faith perceives as fact that which has been declared by the Word.

Hebrews 11:6; Matthew 15:28
Speak:
My faith is active and prevails even now! I anchor my life on God’s Word, and refuse to be swayed by contrary winds or circumstances, for my faith is the title deed to unseen realities. I walk in the light of my inheritance in Christ, in power and grace, living in divine health and supernatural prosperity. I’m victorious every day because I live in and by the Word. Amen.
