What is Faith?

Without faith it is impossible to please God. So what is faith? Faith is simply "believing God." Titus chapter 1 verse 2 says that God cannot lie. So every word He ever spoke is true!
We have to come to a point in our walk with God that we decide we are either going to believe that every word of the Bible is true or that none of it is true at all. Once that is settled in our minds, we should devour the Word of God with passion to find out what truth is. You know, we learn a lot of things in this journey of life and many of the things we have learned are just not true. So when we come to God, we have to spend time "unlearning" so many things we have learned. Truth is exclusive. 2 + 2 = 4 right? No matter if we believe it is 3 or not, the answer is still 4! You see what I mean?
There is another verse that comes to mind, "God is not a man that he should lie nor the son of man that He should repent, hath He said and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken and shall He not make good?" Numbers 23:19
If God promised to heal you He will. If He promised to provide for you He will. It is important to learn the promises of God so we can stand on them in times of need, for ourselves and for others. And we can't focus on the circumstances or on what has happened to other people when they "believed" God and it didn't seem to work for them.
I will close with this life changing verse, let it roll around in your head today,
"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal: but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2Corinthians 4:18
