Faith Sees the Answer!
Introduction.
Our past teachings on faith helps us understand faith is not hope. Faith is present hope is future. Then we examined the relation of feelings versus faith. We have seen and past teachings that faith is not hoping that we will receive the answer sometime in the future. We rely on our human senses that is contrary to the revelation truth of the word of God. Now we must understand that understanding these previous discussed concepts we move on to the central truth of seeing that truth faith see the answer. Christ said ‘Father, I am glad that you always hear me.’ John 11:42
Faith is believing that we have the answer now and says thank you Father!! The eyes of faith see the answer has if it already happened.

He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.’ Romans 4:17, 20-21.
The Word of God takes Prominent Place in your Life.
My son give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22
• People fail because they see themselves failing, in doubt, sick, dying, maybe they have anger or resentment against some one in their heart.
• Jesus took our infirmities.
Surely, He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isa. 53: 4-5.
‘When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities’ and bore our sicknesses.” Matt. 8:17.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. Luke 6:45
