Faith

Faith,  the foundation of our  spiritual lives, makes us depend on God in every situation. Faith  makes us believe the unseen.  It enables us to hear the things that we can’t hear with our ears. In the bible, many believers did many impossible things by faith.

By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death

By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family

By faith Abraham, even though he was past age — and Sarah herself was barren — was enabled to become a father.

Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets,who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword.

This is the power of faith.

My righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him.”- He. 10:38.

“`If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Pray to God to overcome your unbelief . He does help you. Then you could live by faith, overcoming obstacles in your life.
