Are You Walking In Faith?

How can we walk in faith? Is it possible?

I want to share a testimony and some of what I studied on faith.

It is not always easy to walk in faith especially when you are in the midst of a trial, but it is a very important part of our walk with, Yahweh (God) and our Lord Jesus Christ (Yahshua).

When we have a better understanding of what it is to walk in faith, it can help us to be ready for the blessings Yahweh (God) has for us.   Let's read the scripture on faith and see some examples in this scripture of those who had faith.
                             
HEBREWS 11:1
(1) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 
V-2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
V-3 Through faith we understand that the world's were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
V-4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts : and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
V-5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
V-6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is ,  and that he is a rewarder Of them that diligently seek him.

As my sister and I were studying verse 1 on a recent fast we did together, we used the King James Scofield Study Bible and the Jewish Bible to look up some key words that will help us have a clearer understanding of verse 1.

The word SUBSTANTIATE is used as the base word for SUBSTANCE, which means: prove the truth of a claim. 
The word FAITH means: putting your trust or confidence in something.
TRUST means: being confident in what you hope for.
EVIDENCE means: proof or conviction of something.

So when you put verse one with the meanings of the words it sounds like this:
Faith is to prove the truth of a claim and being confident in what you hope for, convinced about the things we do not see. 

I want to share a testimony from my experience on how Yahweh (God) helped me when I walked in faith.

It was during a time in my life when Yahweh (God) was preparing me for the commission he has called me to do. I had already given my life 100 percent to him and said Father, I am yours, do with me as you will.  Yahweh (God) hears us when we do this and he tries and tests us but He is faithful to never leave or forsake us.  At this time in my life, I had 2 very young children, my husband and I were struggling financially and he had to work in another city commuting every day.  I was not working at the time and money was scarce. We were homeless and living in a hotel room. 

My husband had a new job and was paid every two weeks, we'll, you know how it is when you don't have much money and have to wait two weeks, the weeks are endless and the money you do have does not stretch. That's what happened.  I had no money left, and l needed food for the day. I prayed about it and reminded myself of the scripture - Philippians 4:19, But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 

 I decided to take the children out for a walk and just REJOICE!  I had to have faith that my Lord would provide, I did not know how, but I knew in my heart He would PROVIDE, we would eat that day. So that's what we did, I started singing and playing with the children.  We went to a toy store to look around, do a little window shopping.  The children and I were walking down an aisle in the store and I saw this green paper on the floor, what's this I thought, nobody was around, the store was not crowded.  I walked closer and saw a $20 bill on the floor. I was "excited" , nobody was around, could this be my blessing I said to myself, should I pick it up?  I asked these questions in my mind and the Holy Spirit said, "YES", so I picked it up and thanked the Lord.  Halleluyah! We would eat! Yahweh provided.

This is an example of Now faith. I needed Yahweh's (God) intervention that day.  I had to activate that faith by my actions; my joy, declaring His word and not allowing any negative thoughts or words to come from my mouth. Complete confidence in His word and remembering all the many times He intervened in my life.  It's not always easy to walk in faith, Sometimes we have to wait a while for our answer, but that does not mean He did not hear.

The Lord is always faithful. He intervenes in our lives in a variety of ways that we can't predict, isn't that wonderful?
