Todd Engwall, a fellow spiritual traveler, submits his journals with
our Lord to me for verification. Recently, he asked our Lord to tell
him more about faith, after watching the movie, The Bible, where he saw
the faith of Abraham in action. Todd agreed to share this journal with
others, so here is what he received:
Lord, do you want to tell me more about faith?
Yes Todd. Faith is not hope. It is the substance of things hoped for.
It is a part of the actual thing promised. Abraham had faith. He had a
part of the thing that was hoped for already. His faith was a piece of
the promise. Part of the thing that he did not see yet was in his
possession already. His faith was evidence of the thing not seen.
Since there was faith, there was the thing promised. The faith did not
create the thing. The thing was promised and he knew it was coming so he
put faith in the promise of the birth of a son. When you order a book
online from Amazon, you know it is coming as promised. Each day as the
delivery date draws near you check the mailbox because you know
it’s going to arrive. There’s no doubt. Abraham had no doubt his son
would come. He got in the way of the “how” it would come and birthed an
Ishmael. Nevertheless, he knew his son would come. The thing
waspromised to him and he put his faith in me - the God who promised.
He interacted with the promise correctly. He did not doubt. I have
given you many precious promises. Engage your faith with them. Why
not take part in the promise? Let your faith be the evidence of the
things unseen. Let your faith be the substanceof the promise. It is yours for the taking.
