INWARD FAITH AND OUTWARD FAITH (#Encounter series 5) Heb 11:1 (Part1)

When i began to search deeper what faith meant i realised faith was simply the holy spirit i know some people might think i am actually going to far but wait and go along with me on this journey most of the terminologies used in Heb 11:1 are foreign, to us i have decided to do an in-depth study on faith and i won't stop until the holy spirit witnesses in my spirit to do so, morning by morning new revelations keep flooding my spirit on the topic of faith and i had decided to discard all that i knew.

So then what is Faith?

Heb 11:1 is the only scripture we have that gives us a direct definition of faith and this definition has birthed many revelations, some doctrinally sound and others not too sound, but as i kept studying the Holy Spirit began to put this witness within my spirit and several times kept redirecting me to study Hebrews 11:1 again at first my spirit defined or substituted faith with / as complete trust in God's ability through Christ Jesus, but recently Faith has come alive in a different way for some days the Holy S
pirit seemed to witness to my spirit that i am faith.

So i began meditating on all the things i know about the workings of the holy spirit for him to have claimed to be faith.

In Ephesians 1:13-14, In whom you also trusted after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also after that ye believed ye where sealed, with that holy spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

Also 2 cor 1:21-22 now he which Establisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us and given the earnest of the spirit in our hearts.
when i began to look at it literarily.

FAITH is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen, the holy spirit is a substance given to us and he is also a hope we have of our eternal redemption.

Faith is a substance likewise, the holy spirit is a substance given to us to guarantee our possession and our final appearance with God though we haven't seen Jesus we believe we would see him and we act like we have seen him our seeing Jesus or not seeing him does not diminish our eternal life, we already have eternal life. without the holy spirit faith is dead,

Our faith as a substance is also an evidence of what is unseen, the holy spirit also been a substance is an evidence of the unseen Christ and the Glory to come. In popular christian culture faith is said to be what you can attach to what you are believing God for, the popular examples are when you need something from God, you begin to meditate on the word of God, that addresses what you need or that strengthens your faith in what you believe God for, you keep confessing the scriptures until that thing manifests, that has been the popular believe, while this principle is right it does not define faith it only reflects faith. When in Hebrews Faith was defined it wasn't a system, while naturally when we believe God for something shows we are executing faith, it does not define faith just because we can hold onto the word of God to believe God for what we desire, and eventually get that thing does not mean that faith has being executed.
