FAITH IS THE VICTORY

February 27, 2026

 

Hello dearly loved!

 

The book of Hebrews chapter 11 talks to us about FAITH BEING THE VICTORY. Everything in our lives as Christians depends on our believingGod.  We are saved only because God's Word tells us we are.  Living a live of FAITH means we do not depend upon our feelings.  2 Corinthians 5:7says,

 

  • For we walk by FAITH and not by sight or appearance.

 

Remember:  All things are possible to him who believes (Mark 9:23).

 

Also, God wants us to be reminded of the fact that everything that is not of FAITH is sin (Romans 14:23).

 

It is imperative that we never put human wisdom in the place for God.  See, God is not able to operate through us proficiently until we do what the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:31,

 

  • I die every day!

 

Paul then declares in Galatians 2:20,

 

  • I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by FAITH in (or by the faith of) the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me.

 

FAITH is a spiritual substance. When our FAITH is set in motion, we will cause the unseen to manifest in the natural realm.

 

Our Heavenly Father saw an image of the universe in His heart before He ever spoke that image into existence.  He saw us before He created us in His Own image.  And because we are created in His image and likeness, we can use our FAITH to bring what we see with the eye of FAITH into the natural.

 

Hebrews 11:1 says,

 

  • Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

 

So, once you have conceived an image, FAITH is the evidence that what you need exists - whether or not it is yet visible.

 

It is so important that we speak God's Word out of our mouths. FAITHalways speaks a thing into existence.  From the very beginning, in the book of Genesis, chapter 1, verse 2, it says,

 

  • The earth was without form and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
  • And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

 

What happened?  Verse 3 says,

 

  • Then God SAID, Let there be light, and there was light!

 

Isn't it interesting that things did not change just because God's presence was there? It did not get better just because God thought, "I wish I had a world; I wish it was all in order!"  NOTHING happened until God SPOKE!

 

Notice that whatever God SAID came in to existence. Because we are made in the image and likeness of God, we too can speak things into existence.

 

2 Corinthians 4:13 says,

 

  • And since we have the same spirit of FAITH according to what is written, 'I believed and therefore I spoke', we also believe and therefore speak.

 

See, when you see the image inside yourself and believe it, you will automatically speak it.  

Jesus said in Matthew 12:34,

 

  • Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

 

Your human spirit is creative and productive - just like God. When you plant the Word of God into the good soil of your heart, your spirit forms an image that creates a picture in you of what God's Word says you can rightfully have and do.

 

So, when you meditate on God's Word night and day (Joshua 1:8), and allow the Holy Spirit to join with you in your studying, He will use the Word of God like an artist's paint to create an image of what God says on the canvas of your heart.

 

Walking in the FAITH of God,
