- What faith is: The substance of things hoped for the evidence of things unseen!
- How the elders received a good report by faith.
- And that God framed the worlds by faith.
- It goes us to list person after person who by faith did great exploits with and for God.
Some call this Chapter of the Bible the Hall of Faith.
So how can you get into such a list of Greats? By Faith of course!
Notice none of these people were play it safe people. They were, "step out on the Word of God people."
Each person had to take steps to get to the places that earned them a seat in the Hall of Faith! They each had to obey God; to go where He said to go; to do what he said to do; and to be who He had called them to be.
If we are to do great things for God we will have to take faith steps. We will have to leave our past behind and move fearlessly into our naturally unseen future.
We will have to leave our comfort zones of the seen realm!
So many people are trying to move into their "faith future" with the baggage of their past. But the past must be checked at future's gate, it can't come with you. Often to deal with the past is messy and unpleasant, but until we do we are kept from our destinies.
Others are failing to get into their "faith future" because of fear.
Fear can have no part with faith. Fear must be mastered if you are ever to be one of God's Greats. Fear can be a vicious Spirit, one that can make you feel as if you are swallowed up by it, but it can be mastered by perfect love.
Once you have dealt with the ghost of the past and turned fear out of doors by love. You will be ready to take your next step into the faith field of your New Future!
