(Hebrews 10:39, The Voice) Faith is the assurance of things you have hoped for, the absolute conviction that there are realities you've never seen. 2  It was by faith that our forebears were approved. 3  Through faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God; everything we now see was fashioned from that which is invisible. (Hebrews 11:1-3, The Voice) Faith is believing in what is true. Faith has two elements: 1) being convinced of the truth, being certain of reality, having evidence of unseen things, and 2) believing, hoping in, embracing, seizing the truth.   Faith begins as hope and indeed is unseen; so many doubt that it is real.

  But one thing we can tell you: we cannot possibly restrain ourselves from speaking about what we have seen and heard with our own eyes and ears . Acts 4:20 (The Voice) But we (ourselves) cannot help telling ...(Acts 4:40 AMP) Where has God brought you from, and what has He taught you along the way to get you where you are today?

Like Peter & John, when people see your boldness, they'll marvel and realize that the only explanation is that you've been with Jesus. This is one of my favorite worship song - "Rooftops" - click here

HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY SOUL       Lose the victim mentality. When you're feeling powerless, don't let anyone tell you there's nothing you can do. LIVE LIFE WITH GOD Pray and be prayed for. Confess sin! To God, and when appropriate, to others   The pray of a righteous person has great effectiveness   If we are willing, God is our song when we are happy, our escape when we are tempted, our hope when we are despairing, our joy in tribulation, our strength in weakness, and our immortality in dying, Ultimately, He Himself is our health . ~ Beth Moore
