Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1 KJV).  

But without faith, it is impossible to please Him... (Hebrews 11:6 KJV).

Faith is the confidence that what is unseen will come to pass.  How do we know that what we cannot see will indeed come to pass in the natural?  

Because we have the title deed.  We have the Bible.  We have the things that God has promised to give us in His Word.  Promises that are “yeah” and “amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20).   Promises that Jesus already accomplished for us when He went to the Cross.  Those promises are already ours, but we must believe that we already have them.

Many of us are approaching the promises from the perspective that we are the sick trying to get healed.  We are actually the healed because Jesus took all our sicknesses on the Cross.  

The enemy is trying to take away from us what is rightfully ours.  He does this in the area of our finances.  Our peace.  Our joy.  Our dreams.  Our family.

Most Believers think satan has a right to come in and take our health, our wealth, our total life prosperity because we sinned or are weak in some area of our lives.  

Jesus already paid the price for our sins, our sicknesses, our pain our sorrows, our poverty and our curses (Galatians 3:13).  As Pastor Joseph Prince says, Jesus overpaid the debt we owed.  

Jesus gave us all these things as gifts.  He doesn’t take them back.  When we have accepted Christ, they are ours free and clear.

Most Believers don’t know this, or they don’t believe it.  We have to believe what the Word of God says.  We have to put our faith in what Jesus has already done for us on the Cross.  We have to trust that when Jesus said, “It is finished,” He didn’t just save us, but He provided for our every need.

Take the promises of God as truth.  God cannot and will not break His promises to you.  He didn’t break his promises to the great men and women of the faith even when they said, did or thought the wrong thing.   Those things didn’t break the promises He made to them.   They only delayed them.  

If God promised it to us in His Word, then it is ours.  Believe it.  Receive it.  Stand firm to those Biblical promises.  We cannot ever let the devil take from us what is already ours.

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?  Do you believe Jesus died to pay the price for your sin?  That He was raised from the dead?  Then just pray aloud, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins.  Come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour."  If you believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth, you are Born-again.  Let us know if you prayed this prayer.
