Today’s New Covenant nugget is from Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I want to talk to you today about ‘Now Faith ’for Living in the Now. 

God wants you to live the abundant life, and enjoy your walk with Him, growing in His grace, and love, and flourishing in your Faith. The bible talks about ‘ Now Faith’, because many times when you are stepping out in faith, it requires that ‘Now’ moment where there is no hesitation but you are prepared, and positioned to step out in boldness, to step out  without hesitation because you are flourishing in the promises of His Word, and your faith in Him is strong.

Hebrews mentions that Faith ‘is’ substance. That word ‘Is’, is a present tense word, meaning that ‘Now Faith’ is in operation. Not yesterday’s faith, not tomorrow’s faith, but today’s faith.

The bible reminds us that the just will live by Faith and Hebrews 11:3, reminds us that the Worlds were framed by the Word of God.

Faith comes from hearing the Word as you take the promises of God in His Word, speak them, and declare them out loud. As you hear the Word that you are speaking, faith is deposited into your spirit as you hear. It’s because God’s written Word becomes His living Word when you speak and declare it. His Word is alive and powerful.

Are you spending time each day in the Word, are you positioning yourself to receive His Word into your spirit? Are you growing your faith by hearing the Word? It’s like a surfer out in the water, he has to position himself to catch the wave at the ‘now moment’ and ride it, if not, he will get washed over the falls, scrambled and be swept back to the beach.

If you are hearing God’s Word, faith will arise in your for every decision coming at you. You won’t live a life where you hesitate in your decisions and waver in your faith and become unstable, and double-minded. Believe God to live by ‘now faith’ and flow with the Holy Spirit’s leading, and direction in a powerful way and God will get all the glory because it’s not in your strength but in His might and power.

Acts 17:28 says that ‘in Him we live and move and have our being’. When ‘now faith’ is activated in your life you will be able to flow with the Holy Spirit and step out and do great things for God. Everything you do for God requires ‘faith’, because otherwise you will be doing things in your own strength. Are you ready to step out in now faith today? There are times in life we need to step out in the 'Now Faith' because everything in our life, present and future depends on it.
