Faith is the conviction

Hebrews 11:1 (amp)

“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].

Again we see from the amplified translation, faith is the conviction of the reality of something. In other words you are convinced that something exists without seeing it. Now there are a lot of things that we are convinced of their existence without seeing them. 

Every human being is convinced they have a brain even though they may not have seen their own (or even somebody else’s for that matter). But what brought such conviction, because they have heard it being taught in a biology class or something. 

Well there is something also that you can use to convince yourself of the reality of your healing, blessing, that fruit of the womb you need, etc. It is the word of God. Now don’t wave that off. 

The scriptures say there was nothing that was created that wasn’t created by the word. So if anything should know about the existence or reality of anything it should be the word of God. And if you cannot be convinced about the reality of anything from the word of God, then your conviction will be flaky.

CONFESSION: Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of thy word.
