TEXT: Hebrews 11:1 Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.
I left off speaking about faith being (the substance). Which now leads to another point of emphasis. What I want to stress is FAITH is a power source from which GOD HIMSELF created all things, it is also the same creative power HE gave to mankind also with creative abilities. though our creativity is limited; HIS is not! But this power of faith is also an identifying attribute of being created in the image of GOD.
Since GOD has no human body in which HE dwells the image we hold then is that of spirit created from HIS very own essence. Faith Is Substance, not just substance without tangibility but it is Supernatural substance! Another way to describe this power is "Unlimited Imagination" with focus. Focus on whatever words can be painted upon the canvas of our minds and animated by the brooding hovering or stirring of our soul. This power of unlimited imagination of creative faith must be focused on the right things; good things, things that glorify our Great Creator.
Genesis chapter 11 and verses 1-8 gives an example of the creative substance of faith's unlimited imaginative creativity...but with evil intent. But in that chapter I saw the other components of faith in operation. Such as 1.speaking of words, 2.the spirit of agreement, 3.the focus of a creative mindset, 4. the DNA of creativity and distinction; as in when they said ..."let us make a name for ourselves"... verse 4; and 5.; the final component of faith...ACTION.
This final component is emphasized in the book of James 2:17. Allow me to stress when they said "let us make a name for ourselves" was name regarding racial supremacy but distinction of greatness which is part of the DNA of every human being whether aware of it or not. In the next of this series we will specifically dissect certain words and key phrases in which are buried hidden revelation that will bring light as well as change in our understanding about faith. All quotations are from the King James version of the bible.
