Mark 11:22
And JESUS answering, saith unto them, Have faith in GOD.
RESOLUTION 1, HAVE FAITH IN GOD.
I am impressed with the fact that JESUS had FAITH IN GOD. JESUS is GOD and He had faith in His Father, while He walked in the flesh like a man. His faith was so strong that He went to the cross and into the tomb knowing that His Father was faithful to Him. This is the same kind of faith that we are called to have; faith, even unto death, knowing, as JESUS did, that the Father would raise Him and us up from the grave.
In Psalm 108: 1, David says that his "heart is fixed". When we know that GOD is faithful to us, we can fix our heart on the things of GOD and not waver. What we have to deal with, is whether we trust GOD with our life, even unto death. Can we say, "I surrender all to you, O GOD" or "nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy Cross I cling."? Fix you heart on JESUS, He is the way, the truth and the life.
Hebrews 11: 1 says, "NOW FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is not a tomorrow thing; faith is NOW. What you do NOW has eternal weight in glory. Fix your heart on JESUS, now, and follow Him, then you will have the NOW faith that takes hope and makes it happen.
FAITH TAKES HOPE AND MAKES IT SUBSTANCE
