Rhapsody of Realities Daily Devotional 16 February 2025 TOPIC: Faith And How It Works
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).
A lot of people have some confusion about faith and how it works. They often say, “I prayed, I believed, but I didn’t get what I prayed about.” That’s the first indication that they don’t understand what faith is and how it works. Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen.

That means faith calls real what you hope for; what you’ve hoped for is now present. That means when you say you have it, it’s not so you can “get” it; rather, you know in your heart that you already have it because faith is the evidence of unseen realities. For instance, if you ask God for a job or anything; don’t say, “I’m expecting it; I believe it will come.” Rather, say, “I have it already.”
If you don’t have that inner evidence, then what you have isn’t faith. True faith never staggers; it doesnt “try” to get something from God. Faith is the evidence; it doesn’t recognize or accept impossibilities. Faith doesn’t ask “Why didn’t I get it?” Because faith already got it! The Lord Jesus said, “…for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matthew 17:20).
For example, having declared that you’ve received healing in the Name of Jesus, don’t keep checking to see if the symptoms are still there. Faith is proof. You can’t hold proof and still say, “I didn’t get it.” Faith doesn’t ask, “What if…?” “How is it going to happen?” Or “How am I going
to get it?” Faith knows that it has already happened, and therefore speaks and acts accordingly. Hallelujah!
PRAYER: Dear Father, I walk in the reality of your Word. I give no place to doubt. I hold fast to my confessions of faith without wavering, being fully persuaded by the Word for my health, prosperity, success and progress. Thank you for the life of faith that you’ve called me to live, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
