Faith is believing and knowing that God will and can do all things we just have to know to stand on his word and be obediant to God. Always Jazzy Lady

Faith allowed power to flow from Jesus even without his initiative. What is faith?
Although the Christian faith is not based purely on evidence, it is definitely supported by evidence. Faith is not about turning off the brain and merely relying on the heart, or squashing reason in favor of emotion. No, Christian faith is about seeking and knowing Jesus with all facets of the human character. It`s not a blind faith as I once thought... It`s a calculated faith based on a preponderance of the evidence. Well, I`ve collected the evidence, and I`ve put it on trial... After a number of months in the jury room, I have returned with my personal verdict... Jesus Christ is who he claims to be... the Son of God who came to this earth about 2, 000 years ago to offer true and lasting hope for mankind.

Faith allowed power to flow from Jesus even without his initiative. What is faith?
1- It is the substance of things hoped for. Faith and hope go together; and the same things that are the object of our hope are the object of our faith. It is a firm persuasion and expectation that God will perform all that he has promised to us in Christ; Substance: And this persuasion is so strong that it gives the soul a kind of possession and present fruition of those things, gives them a subsistence in the soul, by the first-fruits and foretastes of them: so that believers in the exercise of faith are filled with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Christ dwells in the soul by faith, and the soul is filled with the fullness of God, as far as his present measure will admit; he experiences a substantial reality in the objects of faith. 2- It is the evidence of things not seen. Faith demonstrates to the eye of the mind the reality of those things that cannot be discerned by the eye of the body. Faith is the firm assent of the soul to the divine revelation and every part of it, and sets to its seal that God is true. It is a full approbation of all that God has revealed as holy, just, and good; it helps the soul to make application of all to itself with suitable affections and endeavors; and so it is designed to serve the believer instead of sight, and to be to the soul all that the senses are to the body. That faith is but opinion or fancy which does not realize invisible things to the soul, and excite the soul to act agreeably to the nature and importance of them. It`s believing something that you know with your mind isn`t true. It`s some kind of overdrive that you push in with a button of some kind in your mind or your emotions or somewhere as they say down in your heart, to get you to accept something that you know with your intellect could not possibly be true. And so many of us, I think, in this world today are sceptical of the whole idea of faith, because we think of it as something not connected with the ordinary processes of the mind at all and actually opposed to the convictions of the intellect. And so many of us who have been through some kind of education and especially some kind of scientific education get the idea that to have faith you have to in some way close up your mind, or in some way put your intellect to sleep, or in some way ignore the conclusions of science and conclusions of research. That`s absolutely ridiculous. Faith is not that kind of an irrational thing at all. Faith, in fact, is something that you and I exercise every day in our lives. And we`ve exercised it from the very moment we were born. I suppose it`s true that your mother even encouraged you to feel that we could trust her when we lay in her arms. And we learned day by day that that was true that she would not drop us, that she was reliable, and that we could put our faith in her arms. And so as we grew up and came to the age of two or three or four years old and our Mom would ask us to jump from one chair into her arms, we would jump, because we would feel, Yes, we can put our faith in her because she has never let us fall before. And every time we have observed her, every time we have experienced the stability and the safety of her arms we have not been disappointed, and so we learned to put our faith in her. It was the same when we began to ride on a bicycle. We started to find out that the bicycle would carry our weight. Then as our Dad taught us to ride the two-wheeled bicycle and to balance we found that it was possible, amazing though it was, to push the bicycle along on the ground in such a way that we could stay up even though it had only two wheels. And we began to put our faith in the bicycle and in our ability to ride it and to stay up all the time. And so in all of our lives we have gradually come to put our faith in all kinds of things. If I ask you, Would you put your faith in that chair that is sitting opposite you in your office or in your home? You will probably reply to me, That chair? Yes, yes I would put my faith in that. That is, I would gladly go over and sit on that chair, because I have observed it holding other people. It has held me myself on many occasions, and sure I`m prepared to bet my life on the strength of that chair.

Faith is that assurance or strong belief in something/someone.It is that power that enables someone to call things that are not, as if they were, and hence makes them visible, or manifested.

Faith is being sure of what you hope for and certain of things even if you cannot see them. To have faith in Jesus means to trust him and believe what the Bible says about him. The woman believed that if she could just touch Jesus clothes she would be healed and Jairus daughter was rised from the dead because he believed in Jesus Christ. Read By Faith Hebrews 11: 1- 39

This is what we do, when we believe in Him we have faith, is by faith that He has cure us, all our pains all our sickness, our hearts just by touching Him in our spirit. This is how His ever lasting power flows through in this day and age by us taking the initiative of believe in Him. What ever when ever you have faith in Jesus.

For me faith is to believe in something so much that you start acting on it. God allowed her to be healed bescause of her faith. It is a demonstration of the power of Faith we have.

A Dead Girl and a Sick Woman

When Jesus had crossed back over in the boat to the other side, a great multitude was gathered to him; and he was by the sea. Behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came; and seeing him, he fell at his feet, and begged him much, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Please come and lay your hands on her, that she may be made healthy, and live."
He went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they pressed upon him on all sides. A certain woman, who had an issue of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things by many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better, but rather grew worse, having heard the things concerning Jesus, came up behind him in the crowd, and touched his clothes. For she said, "If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well." Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.
Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
His disciples said to him, "You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
He looked around to see her who had done this thing. But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
He said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease."
While he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler's house saying, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher any more?"
But Jesus, when he heard the message spoken, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "Don't be afraid, only believe." He allowed no one to follow him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James. He came to the synagogue ruler's house, and he saw an uproar, weeping, and great wailing. When he had entered in, he said to them, "Why do you make an uproar and weep? The child is not dead, but is asleep."
They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child and her mother and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying. Taking the child by the hand, he said to her, "Talitha cumi;" which means, being interpreted, "Girl, I tell you, get up." Immediately the girl rose up, and walked, for she was twelve years old. They were amazed with great amazement. He strictly ordered them that no one should know this, and commanded that something should be given to her to eat.
