Let me share something very personal and powerful.

𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝: Faith isn’t about waiting until everything makes sense or until we see the evidence with our eyes. Faith believes God’s Word is true before it sees the outcome.

Hebrews 11:1 tells us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Proof is for sight, but promise is for faith.

𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙤𝙧𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙮: I recall a time over a year ago when my daughter got a difficult medical report from a scan. I felt the weight of fear and frustration rise, and I let out a sigh. Just a sigh…Right then, the Holy Spirit whispered to me: “Don’t lose your stance. Even a sigh out of your mouth is enough to cause your strong stance of Faith to be unbalanced.” And he showed me a vision of what it looks like in the spirit realm. Incredible and eye opening!  I of cause repented and shared this with my husband because i know he was feeling the same. A bad report doesnt change God’s word and outcome. Keep standing.

That moment reminded me how even the smallest words, or sounds of discouragement, can shake the stance of faith we’re holding onto. Faith is sensitive. It requires our agreement with God’s promise, not with the pressure of our circumstance. It doesn’t matter what the report says, because Jesus is the final WORD!

𝘾𝙖𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙚: Think about Abraham. God told him he would be the father of many nations, yet for years he saw no child. If Abraham had waited for proof, he would have quit. But instead, Romans 4:20–21 says he “did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith… being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised.”

Faith responds to God’s Word, not to visible proof. not circumstances.

Faith is the language God responds to. Circumstances don’t move Him, but your faith does.
The enemy loves to whisper, “I’ll believe it when I see it,” but kingdom faith says, “I’ll see it because I believe it.”

don’t wait for the proof to line up in your life. Proof will always come after the step of faith you must take! If God has spoken, His promise is enough. His Word is for us today.

Guard your stance, guard your words, and keep walking in the promise! Cause the evidence will follow. To many give up right before the promise! Don’t give up!
