Hebrews 11:6 The Passion Translation (TPT)
And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God.For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that he rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking him.

Where is your faith?
What about you?
Do you have faith to know that God is with you?
To overcome sin and guilt?
To be healed of disease?
To believe all things in His Word?
Do you really believe that “all things [will] work together for good” if you love God (Rom. 8:28)?
To believe God will work out injustices you have received?
To believe God will provide for you?
To believe that you can endure severe trials and persecution? Or that God will deliver you from them?

Real faith comes from the Spirit of God—it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit. No one can have it without God’s Spirit.
No spirit no faith - no faith no pleasing God.
I found something I think I want to prioritize…. FAITH

For the Lord God is one, and so are we, for we share in one faith, one baptism, and one Father.

10% POSITIVE THINKING
Faith is an intangible “feeling” that cannot be defined. It is often …personal, mysterious and unique to each person.
No definition, structure, or clear purpose and, inevitably, is whatever people want or need it to be.
“positive thinking” …take an optimistic view and remain upbeat about events and circumstances.
It’s a start but… these are just good qualities of mind.
____________________________________________
20% CONFIDENCE
Confidence is important:
Hebrews 10:35 - “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompense of reward.”
Confidence is most usually based on knowledge…
Confidence is vital for Christians, confidence alone is not faith.
_____________________________________________
30% HOPE
Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and love—yet love surpasses them all. So above all else, let love be the beautiful prize for which you run. 1 Corinthians 13:!3
Hope is one of the top three but if faith and hope are the same thing, why are they listed separately?
______________________________________________
40% JESUS DIED FOR ME…
Faith is any general belief that Jesus died for your sins.
The fully downloaded version of faith does include this important belief.
There is no doubt that if someone does not believe in the most basic understanding that Christ died for his or her sins, there is a problem.
Without faith it is impossible to please God, and if someone doubts Christ died for his sins, he certainly is not pleasing God.
Believing that Christ died for your sins is a direction—an avenue—of faith, but not what faith is!

60% Evidence
The already accomplished word of God
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.
Evidence in courtrooms create a certainty.
Therefore, where faith is involved, there is an ASSURANCE that it will be received!
Faith is based on an evidence. We do not produce evidence of our faith (works) we have faith based on evidence…
If God promises to do something, it is impossible for Him to lie
Hebrews 6:18: So it is impossible for God to lie for we know that his promise and his vow will never change!
And now we have run into his heart to hide ourselves in his faithfulness. This is where we find his strength and comfort, for he empowers us to seize what has already been established ahead of time—an unshakeable hope!
OUR FAITH IS BASED ON HIS FAITHFULNESS
If you have true Christian faith, you do not need to search for the evidence—you already possess it!
_______________________________
70% ASSURANCE
If something is hoped for, that something has not yet been received. Therefore, where faith is involved, there is an ASSURANCE that it will be received! HIS FAITHFULNESS
Faith is spiritual, not physical. It is a confident assurance, which comes from the Spirit of God in the mind of a converted human being.
_______________________________
80% Promises of God
The yet to be accomplished word of God
Not just acknowledging them, or knowing them. They become your first thought, your default, your natural incline.
Every time you demonstrate faith in God, it involves a specific promise. A promise can involve healing, answers to prayer, receiving blessings, deliverance in a trial, guidance in a difficult decision and, most importantly, receiving salvation.
In every instance, faith involves claiming a specific promise made by God.
_______________________________
90% POWER
Combining that which God has already done (Evidence) with the assurance that what He says he will do (Promise) =POWER.
Jesus knew that “the Father that dwells in Me, He does the works”
John 14:10: Don’t you believe that the Father is living in me and that I am living in the Father? Even my words are not my own but come from my Father, for he lives in me and performs his miracles of power through me.
_______________________________
It was through the power of God’s Spirit in Him that Christ accomplished everything that He did.
But can you have the same kind of faith that Christ had!

100% GRACE
We can not complete the download on our own…
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—Ephesians 2:8
GALATIANS 2:16 16 we know full well that we don’t receive God’s perfect righteousness as a reward for keeping the law, but by the faith of Jesus, the Messiah! His faithfulness, not ours, has saved us, and we have received God’s perfect righteousness. Now we know that God accepts no one by the keeping of religious laws!
It is the faith OF Christ—Christ’s actual faith in us—that justifies us (makes us righteous).
Faith starts with human belief, but must quickly move to the real faith OF Christ.
Believing that He believes in you!
_______________________________
Human faith wavers continually and goes up and down according to how one feels at any given moment in time. It is much like a rollercoaster. When events seem positive or look good, human faith is up. When things look bad and the outcome of a matter appears gloomy, human faith disappears in an instant. God’s faith is permanent and does not waver.
_______________________________
Impossible to please God without faith - no one comes to the Father unless we come through Jesus.
Christ asked, “When the Son of Man comes, shall He find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8)
