The document discusses the concept of faith according to Hebrews 11:1-3, 6. It states that faith is the foundation of everything that makes life meaningful as it allows us to have confidence in things we cannot see. It gives the example of Enoch who was taken by God without dying because he pleased God through his acts of faith. The document emphasizes that without faith, it is impossible to please God since one must believe that God exists and cares for those who seek Him.

5. Hebrews 11:1-3, 6 The Message (MSG)
Faith in What We Don’t See
11 1-2 The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this
faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life
worth living. It’s our handle on what we can’t see. The act of
faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the
crowd.
3 By faith, we see the world called into existence by God’s word,
what we see created by what we don’t see. 5-6 By an act of faith,
Enoch skipped death completely. “They looked all over and
couldn’t find him because God had taken him.” We know on the
basis of reliable testimony that before he was taken “he pleased
God.” It’s impossible to please God apart from faith. And why?
Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both
that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who
seek him.

15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you

neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
THE POWER OF TRANSLATION
Revelation 3:15-17 The Message (MSG)
15-17 “I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You’re not
cold, you’re not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You’re
stale. You’re stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag,
‘I’m rich, I’ve got it made, I need nothing from anyone,’ oblivious
that in fact you’re a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and
homeless.

14. If we have not decided that we
want to be healed and that we
can be healed then we will not
be healed.
We know this because as a
person thinks so shall it be, thus
if we have faith in the possibility
of God we shall see the
opportunity of God.

18. Faith Does
“When you really want to be
healed, you have to truly be
willing to risk it all. You have
to be willing to leave
everything and everyone
behind, you have to be
willing to step out of the boat
in faith and have the courage
enough to face your pain.”

19. Make Up Your Mind

purpose.
Your are a beautiful child of God undefiled by your past.

Have you made up your mind healing is possible for you?
