#4016 The Holy Spirit specifically said that those who: Stay in faith … Stay in peace … Stay in love … Stay in fellowship … Keep sowing seed for the sake of eternity … Will experience a supernatural power that will cause them to be Unmoved … Unshaken … Well provided for … And they will have a much-needed: Divine assurance … Divine peace … Divine power … Divine and supernatural victory. Greek Theologian Rick Renner

 
#4017 One of the purposes of prophecy is to wage a good warfare using the sure words of God that you receive from Him. Paul told Timothy, “This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare” (1 Timothy 1:18). So as Paul told Timothy, we need to pay attention to what the Holy Spirit has prophetically spoken to us and wage a good warfare with it. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
 
#4018 I want to expound from Scripture about what it means to stay in faith … stay in peace … stay in love … stay in fellowship … and keep sowing seed for the sake of eternity. But today we will begin with what it means to stay in faith. The King James Version of Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Greek Theologian Rick Renner
  
#4019 First, the word “faith” in Hebrews 11:1 is translated from the Greek word pistis, a well-known word that comes from a root that means to persuade, to trust, or to believe. It also pictures a “divine spark” given by God that enables you to believe. In ancient times, the word pistis referred to a guarantee or warranty of something that was sure. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
 
#4020 Importantly, the Greek word pistis also depicts something moving forward, like a force that is propelled forward and is moving toward a goal. Faith is like a bullet shot from a gun — once it has been released, it moves forward and never stops until it reaches its goal. To be clear, that means real faith is never in retreat. So if you are in retreat, you are not moving in faith! Greek Theologian Rick Renner
 
#4021 Second, let’s look at the word “substance” in Hebrews 11:1 — a word that is derived from the Greek word hupostasis, a compound of hupo and histimi. The word hupo means by, and the word histimi means to stand. Literally, it means to stand by something. It refers to the attitude and actions of one who has determined to stand by something promised and refuses to budge from it. It pictures a fixed decision that one has made to be unmoving and to stay or stand by the promise that he is believing will come to pass. Greek Theologian Rick Renner

#4022 You might say the meaning of the word “substance” is a lot like a bulldog that has found the bone of its dreams and has locked its jaws around it, refusing to let go. It doesn’t matter how hard anyone pulls on the bone or tries to retrieve it, that dog is not going to let it loose. In the same way, when you’re in faith, you relentlessly stand by what God has said in His Word, and like a bulldog clutching its bone, you continue to tenaciously hold on to His promises until they become a reality in your life. Greek Theologian Rick Renner

#4023 As an example, let’s say you have been standing by God’s promises for healing and have chosen you’ll never let go until your healing is manifested. Or let’s say you’ve been standing by God’s promise for financial provision or the restoration of your relationships. And just like a bulldog who refused to let go of his bone, you are holding on to and standing by God’s promise! In other words, you have decided that you will NEVER let go of that promise until it is manifested in your life! THAT, my friend, is an example of what the word “substance” means in Hebrews 11:1. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
 
#4024 Third, let’s look at the words “hoped for” in Hebrews 11:1. These words are translated from a form of the Greek word elpidzo, which DOES NOT picture a “hope-so” kind of hope, but rather pictures a confident expectation of something. In other words, it does not mean, “I hope this will happen,” but, instead, it means, “I confidently expect this to happen!” Although it has not happened yet, there is an active expectation that it will take place. The tense of the word elpidzo here is continuous. Hence, it is something continuously being hoped for, even if the manifestation has not come yet. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
 
#4025 Fourth, let’s look at the word “evidence,” which is translated from a form of the Greek word elegchos, a term regularly used in a court of law. When used in a positive sense, it means to convince someone of something. Thus, when you are in faith, you have a very strong conviction that what God has promised is undoubtedly going to happen. Greek Theologian Rick Renner
 
#4026 If you consider all four of these Greek words in Hebrews 11:1, it tells us that: FAITH is a “divine spark” from God to believe. FAITH is a force that propels us forward toward a goal and it is never in retreat. FAITH stands by and never lets go of what it is believing God for. FAITH is a strong conviction that what God has promised is going to happen. Greek Theologian Rick Renner

 

#4027 If you put all this together, it means Hebrews 11:1 carries this idea: “Faith belligerently stands by what it is believing for; it continuously confidently expects it to come to pass; and it is convinced what it is believing will happen!” Then Hebrews 11:6 goes on to say, “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” Greek Theologian Rick Renner

#4028 Most people think the words “without faith” describe an absence of faith, but the word “without” is translated from the Greek word choris, and it means without, as being outside of a specific place. For example, you can be inside your house or outside your house, or you can be in the city or out of the city — but you can’t be in both places at the same time. This word choris — translated here as “without” — describes faith as a location that you can be in or out of. That means faith is a place, and you can be in faith or out of faith. Greek Theologian Rick Renner


#4029 So what does it mean for you to be in faith or to “stay in a place of faith?” It means to continuously stand by and stay with the calling or promise that God made to you. That calling or promise is your assignment — it is the location where you need to be. You can stay in it, or you can move out of it, but to “stay in faith” means you have made the decision to be unmoving and that you will not budge from the calling or promise God made. It means you are going to belligerently stand by it until you see its manifestation! Greek Theologian Rick Renner

#4030 To be “without faith” means to be outside of faith — to move out of or to leave your assignment or promise — and Hebrews 11:6 says when one abandons the assignment or promise of God, it is impossible for him or her to please Him in that place. Greek Theologian Rick Renner

#4031 To stay in faith means to stick with the assignment, calling, or promise God gave you — it is your place of faith! If you want to bring pleasure to God, you have to stay in that place. That means you have to stay in alignment with what God has called you to do or stick with what He has promised you. You must be determined to stay there until you have received or fulfilled what God has said. And Hebrews 11:6 says that when you stay in faith in this way, you please God! Greek Theologian Rick Renner


#4032 But then Hebrews 11:6 goes on to say that God is a “rewarder” of them that diligently seek Him. The word “rewarder” is the Greek word misthapodotes, a word that describes money, salary, or a payment that is due. Greek Theologian Rick Renner

 

#4033 It can also describe a recompense, reimbursement, settlement, or reparation. It depicts being reimbursed for an expense a person has paid out of his own pocket in order to get his job done; a full and complete recompense. In this verse, it denotes the one who pays, rewards, or gives what one has coming to him or a paymaster. Greek Theologian Rick Renner

#4034 This lets us know that when you get into agreement with the promise God has given you, and you choose to “stay in faith” — which includes staying in the place He has assigned you to be or sticking with the promise God made to you — a moment will finally come when God, the Great Paymaster, will richly reward you with His rewards. And He will fully recompense and richly reimburse you for everything you have invested along the way — as you stayed in your place of faith! Greek Theologian Rick Renner

#4035 Wow! The full message of Hebrews 11:1 and 6 is the following: You must believe what God has said…You must stand by it, stick with it, and never budge from it…You must know that a payday is coming when God will reward you for staying in faith! Greek Theologian Rick Renner

 

#4036 What is the assignment or calling that God has given you? What is the promise of God’s Word that you have been standing on? If you will “stay in faith” and refuse to move away from what God has told you or promised you, His power and promise will be released! Greek Theologian Rick Renner

 

#4037 In spite of anything going on around you, this will cause you to be unmoved, unshaken, and well provided for. And this kind of bulldogged faith will produce divine assurance, divine peace, divine power, and divine and supernatural victory! Greek Theologian Rick Renner

 

#4038 When you begin to step out on faith, your critics have to justify why they are still sitting in the boat! Paula White-Cain

 

#4039 Faith causes a calm confidence that God is going to work it all out. Paul White-Cain

 

#4040 Faith expects God to do it. Hope anticipates when God will do it! Paula White-Cain

 

#4041 When you can’t trace His hand, you can always trust His heart! Paul White-Cain
