Confidence in God's ability

Hebrews 11:1

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

“NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of 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].

We see from the amplified translation many things faith is. Firstly it says faith is  the assurance someone has about something. What is an assurance? It is defined as:

 confidence in one's own abilities or certainty.

This would mean then to have confidence in God’s abilities. Faith then is having confidence in God’s abilities about the things you hope for, the desires of your heart. Confidence is the state of mind of being certain. What this means is that faith is not about you making anything to happen, it is being certain in God’s ability to make it happen for you. 

You are not to heal your own body, you are not to meet your own need. All you need is to be certain that He has the ability to heal you, meet that financial need and then you sit back and watch Him do it. That is faith! So the question today is: how confident are you about God’s ability to do what His word said He can do?

CONFESSION: 

Unto God who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all I can ask or think, I submit myself today.
