Faith is Much More Than Wishful Thinking

Faith is the substance, that which we stand upon, the evidence, the title deed! It guarantees us possession. • Faith is substance. It’s not wishful thinking. It is not hoping. It’s not a mental belief. But it is substance. • "Let all your struggles cease. If you’ve got the title deed, you don’t need to fight!" - Morris Cerullo • "Let every struggle to produce faith cease!" - Morris Cerullo • A title deed is the whole body of documents which bear on the ownership of a person’s property. Faith is our title deed! • The word substance, in the literal translation, means “to stand under.” • Hope is the desire accompanied by expectation for fulfillment. • "There is no trial. There is no circumstance. There is no temptation, that the devil can bring into my life that can defeat me!" - Morris Cerullo • Faith perceives as a real fact that which is not revealed to the senses. • "Faith grabs hold of the unseen!" - Morris Cerullo • Faith = the ground upon which we build our hope • Faith grabs a hold of the unseen and considers it a fact! • Faith is not hope. • I think we have a little better idea of what Paul was saying when he said to us, in Romans 8:38-39, I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus.
