Take heed, watch and pray. For you know not when the time is. Mar 13:33
Although this verse of scripture is taken from the context of Christ's second coming, it applies to every situation where faith is required. Have you been waiting for God to show up? Are you in need of physical healing or maybe financial blessing. Well whatever the case may be, do you remember how you felt when you first believed God concerning your situation? The longer you have to wait the more you may grow warry of (watching) waiting expectantly for God's word to manifest in your life. How do you know that faith is working in you?
You can tell you are in faith because you are excited and happy about what you are expecting (whatching for). You may know in your spirit that God is faithfull and his word is true but that isn't enough. Knowledge of the truth and faith in it are not the same thing. It is by faith that we must obtain God's promises. You must not only know in your spirit but you must also believe in your heart. The (pneuma) spirit of faith can only produce results for the (soma) natural man if it effects the (psyche) heart.
