Such words have an especially powerful impact when you practice seeing what you’re saying with the eye of faith. That’s what the people in Hebrews 11 did. Verse 13 says, they received God’s promises, “having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed…” (italics mine).
Such faith vision doesn’t always develop overnight, of course. Particularly if you’ve been in a particular situation a long time—if you’ve been barren for years, or living in lack, or sick—you may have to spend some time renewing your mind with The WORD to change how you see yourself on the inside. That’s what I had to do when I began believing God for a jet for this ministry. Although I’d flown smaller airplanes for years, a jet was a step up for me. I knew I needed one to do everything God had called me to do, yet I couldn’t see myself owning one. Despite what I’d learned about prosperity I still had some poverty thinking following me around like an ornery little dog.
Eventually, though, I got rid of it. I fed and strengthened my faith with The WORD. I fixed my mind on God’s promise, saw it with the eye of faith, embraced it and confessed it. Sure enough, before long my faith vision became a reality.
The same kind of thing can happen in your life. Whatever it is you desire—whether it’s a baby, healing for your body or a debt-free life—you already have what it takes to receive it. You have The WORD of God; you have God’s own faith on the inside of you; and now you have a working knowledge of that faith.
So rise up and use it. Climb up there in the faith cockpit with Jesus…and fly! V
