Tuesday, 19 August 2014 MOVED BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT SCRIPTURE: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb. 11:1 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Faith is not a feeling; it is a reality. Faith is not a feeling; it is a fact and a reality. You don’t feel faith because it is not a thing of the flesh, nor of the mind; it is a thing of the heart. Romans 10:10 said, ‘... with the heart man believeth...’, so it is not a matter of ‘I don’t feel any faith now’. It is not a matter of feeling; it is a matter of knowing. Therefore, meditate on the Scriptures until light from them jumps into your heart, then there will be a knowing that is not a feeling. There are times when you are operating in faith and feel nothing at all. There are even times when your feelings are contrary to your faith; your body is feeling pain but your heart says, ‘By His stripes I am healed’ (Is. 53:5); your bank account looks empty, but the Bible says, ‘But my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory...’ (Phil. 4:19), and you are moving irrespective of contrary feelings. Those who walk by faith are not moved by sight. It is not something that happens in the mind or the flesh, it happens in your heart. Everything around you may be negative and contrary to what you believe, perceive and want, yet you continue to move ahead. I see you moving positively ahead despite what is happening around you, in Jesus Name! Remember this: Faith is not a feeling; it is a reality. ASSIGNMENTS: 1. In every situation you may be going through, always put the Word of God above your feelings. 2. Consciously and continually declare the promises of God to you from the Bible.
