All through scriptures we see that God places a high premium on belief; Faith. There is no overemphasizing the potency and power of faith in the life of one who is a child of God.
In Heb. 11:1, the bible teaches that: "Faith is the substance of things hoped For, the evidence of things not seen."
In examining that scripture, it becomes most glaring that faith is defined by two ingredients; SUBSTANCE and EVIDENCE.
notice that both ingredients are physical and visible meanwhile faith in itself is not physical nor visible.
Substance refers to something you have at hand or that is physically available and accessible.
Evidence on the other hand is proof of fact. It is a visible proof of the existence of a state of facts.
Now, in usiing these two words to define Faith, we see that faith is activated or becomes activated by Substance and evidence. What then is substance and evidence?
As a Christian, your greatest substance and evidence is the word of God. The word of God concerning your situation is the substance you hold on to to prove that your hope for a change is possible. It is also the evidence you have to prove that God can change your situation.
Equipped with Faith, the dev stands no chance against a child of God. Faith puts God in front even though you are surrounded round and about by enemies, you hold on to the substance of psalm 23:4 "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for thou art with me."
With small Faith, big battles can be won. Only believe!
