Now, hope is one thing and faith is another. Faith is a positive sense. It’s not a guesswork; you don’t just imagine it. It’s just as real as any other sense of your body, just the same as sight is. Sight is real. Hearing is real. See, taste, feel, smell, and hear, the five senses of the body that control the body, they’re real faculties to you if none of them is injured. And then, faith is just as real as any of the other five senses, and more real, because it’ll go in and above those five senses. Now, the first and fundamental cause of Divine healing is because God said so in His Bible. That’s the only…That’s the sure foundation, is the Word of God.
