The Power of Faith

The Power of Faith: Ability to say "Yes" to any good thing and have it happen; draws my good from the invisible to the visible.

Faith is more than belief. Belief is an exercise, a mental habit where you place your trust or confidence in some person or thing, usually based on observed evidence. Belief is closer to "acting as if" or "fake it till you make it." Faith moves beyond "belief" and into the realm of "knowing."

In the King James version of the Bible, faith is described as "...the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Heb 11:1

That same passage in the New International Version goes like this: "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Here are some questions on faith, just to get the conversation started:

Being "sure of what we hope for..."

What do you hope for? Are you sure that is what you want? Are you sure that it will manifest?

Being "...certain of what we do not see."

Do you have faith in the Universe? Do you feel the fundamental laws of the Universe at work within you? Do you know what these laws are? Are you certain that your life is unfolding based on the thoughts you carry with you? Are you creating your life deliberately, or by default?

What is Faith to you? Why is it important? How do you apply it in your life?
