Rhapsody of Realities 16 February 2025: Faith and How It Works
Scripture: Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen
Alot of people have some confusion about faith and how it works. They often say, “I prayed, I believed, but I didn’t get what I prayed about.” That’s the first indication that they don’t understand what faith is and how it works. Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.
That means faith calls real what you hope for; what you’ve hoped for is now present. That means when you say you have it, it’s not so you can “get” it; rather, you know in your heart that you already have it because faith is the evidence of unseen realities. For instance, if you ask God for a job or anything; don’t say, “I’m expecting it; I believe it will come.” Rather, say, “I have it already.”
If you don’t have that inner evidence, then what you have isn’t faith. True faith never staggers; it doesnt “try” to get something from God. Faith is the evidence; it doesn’t recognize or accept impossibilities. Faith doesn’t ask “Why didn’t I get it?” Because faith already got it! The Lord Jesus said, “…for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matthew 17:20).

For example, having declared that you’ve received healing in the Name of Jesus, don’t keep checking to see if the symptoms are still there. Faith is proof. You can’t hold proof and still say, “I didn’t get it.” Faith doesn’t ask, “What if…?” “How is it going to happen?” Or “How am I going to get it?” Faith knows that it has already happened, and therefore speaks and acts accordingly. Hallelujah!
We have an important book, “How To Make Your Faith Work.” It’s a classic on how to use your faith and reign over circumstances, winning every day in life. Order a copy from the store on the Rhapsody App
