Is faith a tangible thing?

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1

Faith is a tangible thing. It is invisible with a human eye, but it shows itself when a believer gets what he believed for. It's like a spiritual law. It materializes things that are invisible. Like the law of gravity. If you jump, you will land soon enough, because gravity pulls you down. It is the same with faith. Whatever you truly believe for (without a doubt) will materialize. Read the whole 11th chapter of Hebrews to see how believers got what they believed for.

Faith started with God, when He spoke things into being. Whatever God said, He believed that it would happen. And it happened, despite the fact those things did not exist before God spoke. Faith and words worked like a magical wand creating stuff that never existed before. Fortunately, it is available not just to God, but for us humans too. God wants us to have faith that does the impossible. It is born when you read the Bible, or listen to it. This miracle working faith is born in our hearts when we focus our thoughts on Jesus, and His words. Read the words of Jesus for a prolonged period of time and the same faith that God had (and has) while creating the Universe will be born in your heart.

In fact, the only way to please God is to believe what He says. You do not please Him by doing good works, but by believing what He said, and what He did for you. Reading about those works, and the words He spoke will transform you and make you a believer. Look at Jesus and you will get the faith that will please God, and get your prayers answered. Then, you will see the impossible become possible. Only believe.

Your faith can heal you

"Then he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace" Luke 8:48.

A lot of people misunderstand faith. They regard it as some compilation of religions rules, rituals, and moral commands given by God. Well, that is not what faith is. Faith is the assurance of things. If you have complete confidence about something - you have faith in it. Now, the Biblical faith is confidence in the things God said in His word - the Bible. This woman looked at Jesus and she saw more than just a rabbi. He saw that Jesus had the power to heal. This type of faith can do miracles. When you look at Jesus and see Him as the ultimate answer to the cry of your soul, you will get what your soul asks for deliverance, the forgiveness of sins, the healing of your body, or any other thing you are asking God for and believe He is going to give you. If you have this type of confidence, you will get whatever you ask for. Believe and you will receive.
