It's Just a Matter of Manifestation

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

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 (New International Version, NIV)

Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 (New Living Translation, NLT)

Now faith is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. Hebrews 11:1 (Amplified Bible, AMP)

Faith is what gets us what is already ours. Hebrews 11:1 is considered a golden text on what faith is. Above I have included four different versions or translations of that verse. All are correct, and they enhance our understanding of faith as we read it in various versions.

Faith is the currency of God’s kingdom. It is how we receive anything from God. And God was good enough to give faith to each of us at the moment of salvation. Every believer has received a measure of faith. It is up to us to exercise it and build it up so we can receive more and more of God’s promises.

What some Christians don’t understand is that Jesus has already purchased and provided everything we need. He did it in His death, burial, and resurrection. Healing, provision, protection, peace, and every other thing we need has already been given to us. We do not need to pray to Jesus to get Him to do it again. In other words, we don’t have to keep praying, “Heal me, Lord.” because He’s already done it. We don’t have to pray “Lord, pay my bills,” over and over because He already provided everything we need. It is all done. It’s been finished. Now it’s just a matter of manifestation. We just need to ask once, receive it by faith, and thank Him for it.

Everything we need is waiting for us to receive it by faith. Each and every thing we want or need is sitting there in the spirit realm, just waiting for faith to pull it through to the material realm. God has new body parts for us. He has wealth for us. He has miracles, signs, and wonders just sitting there waiting for faith to grab hold of it and manifest it in the physical world.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 (KJV)

As we spend time in Gods Word, faith increases. It especially increases as we hear the Word. It is a supernatural thing. And, as we act upon the Word, speaking it out of our mouths and acting as if it is true, faith becomes stronger and stronger. We cannot increase faith by just sitting and thinking about faith. If you are trying to do things by faith, but you have not spent time in the Word, your efforts are being wasted. The Word and time are the key ingredients in building your faith.

As faith grows and becomes stronger by our consistent time in the Bible and by our consistent confession of the Word of God, it will eventually get strong enough to pull God’s promises from the unseen realm to the seen realm. That is when faith becomes reality.

Everything Jesus purchased is already yours. It’s just a matter of manifestation. Work on strengthening and growing your faith now so you can pull your promise into the physical realm.
