Hebrews 11:1 |
Having faith is belief in a sure shot. It’s confident conviction with devoted dedication. It is an active expectation, alive with the unquestionable certainty that what our hopes will happen, our dreams will turn out and what we expect to take place will come true. It is the assurance of envisioning the future by trusting in invisible, yet reliable proof in the present. Surge Up S.T.A.M.P. Bible |
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. NIV |

Joshua 1:8,9 |
8 Be sure to keep God's
word on the tip of your tongue. In order to make sure the truths of the
Bible influence what you say and do keep Bible verses going through your
head in the morning, throughout the day up until you crash. The
result of this healthy habit will be that you'll be a winner at making
wise decisions. You'll be successful. 9 Have I not made this command
crystal clear to you? Have confident courage! Be bold! Be strong! Don't
settle for being a wimp of faith or spiritual scaredy cat. Get over being
down in the dumps, depressed or discouraged. The Lord God will be right
with you every step of the way, every foot print in the sand no matter
where you are the "Source" will be with you.

Proverbs 29:18 |
Where no vision exists for God's priorities, God's people get too comfortable and miss out on God’ best... Where there is no vision for church growth, believers get spiritual stagnate and stay dead in the water... Where there is no vision for the lost, those people end up going to hell since no revelation was given to them. But hey, where there is attention to following God's great ambition for us, God's rules, God's word and God's will He blesses us big time by building our faith in a surge of spiritual growth all the while new believers get into heaven! Surge Up S.T.A.M.P. Bible |
Where there is (1) no vision, the people (2) are unrestrained, But (3) happy is he who keeps the law. NASB |
Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. KJV |
