What Happens When I Have Faith
(Romans 1:17 NCV) The Good News shows how God makes people right with himself—that it begins and ends with faith. As the Scripture says, “But those who are right with God will live by faith.”
(Hebrews 11:6) Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to God must believe that he exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

What Is Faith?
(Hebrews 11:1 GWT) Faith assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see.
(Ephesians 1:17-18) I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.
(2 Kings 6:17) And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
What Happens When I See With Eyes of Faith?
1. Faith
(Luke 1:37 GW) But nothing is impossible for God.
2. Faith
(Mark 11:22-24 CEV) Jesus told his disciples: Have faith in God! If you have faith in God and don’t doubt, you can tell this mountain to get up and jump into the sea, and it will. Everything you ask for in prayer will be yours, if you only have faith.
3. Faith
(Matthew 9:29) Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you.”
4. Faith
(2 Corinthians 1:20) For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ…
5. Faith
(Ephesians 3:20 LB) Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of—infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.
6. Faith
(2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NLT) We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.
(John 3:16 CEV) God loved the people of this world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life and never really die.
