We are at the Precipice of Major Change in the US with Tuesday’s Election. We are at a time where people are losing hope and ultimately faith. Our Hope is not in Man but God. God Will Never Fail.

Faith and Hope are the Wonder Twins for Every Believer. You can’t have faith without hope and you can’t have hope without hope.

Lamentations 3:22-24 (NLT): “The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, ‘The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!’” 

Faith Can Do What Nothing Else Can, Anything and All Things. Mark 9:23 (NKJV): “Jesus said to him, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.'”

Faith Can Please The Lord —-> He is a Rewarder. Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV): “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Faith Brings Revelation —–> Hidden Things Revealed. Romans 1:17 (NKJV): “For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’”

Faith Carries Overwhelming Victory ——> Not a Theory but a Fact. 1 John 5:4 (NKJV): “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”

Faith Can Access The Healing Power of God —> The Woman with the Issue of Blood. Luke 8:46 (NLT): “But Jesus said, ‘Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.’”

Mark 5:34 (NLT): “And he said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.’”

Faith Can Manifest Things Needed. Manifest =  to make evident or certain by showing or displaying. Manifesting =  is the act of bringing a tangible desire or goal into reality, often by putting intentional energy into bringing these goals to life. Hebrews 11:1-3 (NKJV): “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” 

Faith Must Be Pursued — Flee Sin and Greed. 1 Timothy 6:11 (NKJV): “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness.”

Faith Must Have Action – Active Faith is Attractive Faith. James 2:17 NKJV): “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”

Faith Will Be Tested – A Faith That is Tested Is A Faith That Can Be Trusted. James 1:2-4 (NKJV): “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”

Faith Will Receive Heavenly Rewards. Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV): “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Faith Will See God’s Glory, The Story of Lazarus, John 11:40 (NKJV): “Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?'”

Faith in Christ Results in Salvation For You and Your Family, Acts 16:31 (NKJV): “So they said, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.'”
