Hebrews 11:1 NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Faith is present tense which means it’s right now. Faith is not in the future. When we pray for, declare, or desire a certain thing, we should do so in the present tense. For instance, a person should say, “Father I ask for and receive my new car right now in the name of Jesus.”
Once we’ve made our request known to God, we must take it a step further. The next step in faith is thanking God for our desire(s) in the past tense. If we truly believed that we’ve received the desire we have asked for, we should genuinely thank God for the desire we’ve received. We genuinely thank God in the past tense because we know we received our desire once we prayed (Mark 11:24).
Using the same example from above, until the person receives the manifestation of the new car, that person should continue to thank God for the new car as if it’s bought and paid for and in their garage. We shouldn’t wait to physically see our desires to thank God for them. Let’s take it a step further and start thanking God now.
