Faith lays hold of the Word of God and makes
it obvious to us that what God has promised
is being accomplished spiritually, even though
we do no yet see it naturally.
Paul instructed the Corinthian believers, "We
walk by faith, not by sight."
Faith is first, then sight.
Jesus taught the disciples, "Therefore, I say
unto you, whatever things you ask when you
pray, believe that you receive them and you
will have them"
Mark 11:24
Jesus didn't say,
"believe that you will receive" [future tense]
but rather
"believe that you receive" [present tense].
NASB "believe that you have received.
This is a powerful truth!
