Look, Abraham believed God, and he testified concerning the things that was not, for he had God’s Word. That was enough for Abraham. Twenty-five years later, the promise came to—come to pass. And today we believe God, express His Word, say that it’s done before it is done; because faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things you can’t see, taste, feel, smell, or hear. See what I mean? All right. That’s it. You expect it. And when you believe it in your heart, you say so. Do not look to symptoms. If you look to symptoms, you’re sure to be lost. Any man any time who looked to the natural things, always lost their victory.
