We have to have Hope to start with, but if we never move into Faith then our prayers aren't going to get answered.
An example is: You ask someone if they are saved and going to heaven. They say I sure hope so.... What? You better know so.
I believe Faith is a matter of being completely convinced of something. You have to mentally become convinced that God said yes.
Hebrews 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." The substance means we got it!!
There's a commerical that says I'm 99.999 percent sure. The other guys says so you don't know....hmmmm
Anyway, I was just thinking....
