Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Have you ever been driving and off in the distance you see a thick cloud of black smoke in the air? This usually means there is a fire somewhere. We may not be able to see the fire, but we can see the smoke. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

Our faith works the same way.

The fire represents our needs or desires. Faith is the smoke to the fire. Faith is the evidence that something we need or desire exists. If we can have faith for our desires, our desires exist somewhere. Faith is believing that Jesus Christ has made whatever we need or desire available to us. The longer we stay in faith (without doubting), the closer we’ll get to receive our desires. Eventually, we will see the fire. We will see the manifestation of our desires. We will receive the things God has promised.

Stay in faith.
