Faith is not conjuring up, through an act of your will, a sense of certainty that something is going to happen. No, it is recognizing God's promise as an actual fact, believing it is true, rejoicing in the knowledge of that truth, and then, simply resting because God said it.
Faith turns a promise into a prophecy. A promise is contingent upon our cooperation, but when we exercise genuine faith in it, it becomes a prophecy. Then we can move ahead with certainty that it will come to pass, because "God .... does not lie." (Titus 1:2) from Days of Heaven upon Earth

Hi, Jean, I love this statement: Faith is recognizing God's promise as an actual fact, believing it is true, rejoicing in the knowledge of that truth, and then, simply resting because God said it.
