Hebrews 11:1 - Now faith is the substance fo things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
THE VERSE DOES NOT SAY THAT FAITH IS THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS THAT DO NOT EXIST. GOD SAYS WHAT HE HAS PROMISED IS ALREADY A REALITY. YET IT WON'T BECOME A MANIFESTED REALITY IN MY LIFE UNTIL I BELIEVE IT IS REAL BEFORE I SEE IT - THROUGH FULLY TRUSTING HIM AND HIS WORD.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 - For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war…

1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Observation
CONFESSION DOESN'T MEAN BRINGING UP MY PAST. IT MEANS AGREEING WITH GOD ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS TO ME AND ABOUT ME. WHATEVER I TRY TO JUSTIFY, I HAVE NOT REPENTED OF. WHATEVER I TRY TO EXPLAIN, I AM NOT SORRY FOR. WHEN I AGREE THAT…

Matthew 6:13 - But deliver us from evil.THE WORD "EVIL" REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE CURSE OF SIN UPON MAN. "PONEROS", THE GREEK WORD FOR EVIL, CAME FROM THE WORD "PONOS," MEANING PAIN. AND THAT WORD CAME FROM THE ROOT WORD "PENES," MEANING POOR.

The term "Mammon" predominantly signifies riches and wealth, but as Colin Brown, in The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, points out, "Material wealth can be personified as a demonic power, Mammon" (New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology, vol. 2, ed. Colin Brown (Grand Rapids, MI: Regency Reference Library), 1986, p. 829). When our stewardship of wealth does not align with God's purpose and plan, we open ourselves to demonic… Continue

2 Corinthians 4:13 -- We have the same spirit of faith as he (the psalmist) who wrote, 'I have believed and therefore have spoken.' We too believe, and therefore we speak.
