Excerpt from He Will Hide Me in His Pavilion by Byron Gene Mace
believing in God..,
Greek: episteuko..
Accurately Translated: ... having believed ("faithed") God... (Also, sometimes we are
told to hold our faith on "epì” God.)
What a man speaks comes from what is in His heart. Faith comes from the heart
. A man speaks faith when faith is in his heart, When he has renewed his
mind and washed it clean (from the overflowing trash he picks up from the world-system).
We need to begin to allow what our spirit man knows (through the Spirit of
God) to dominate our mind and body. Believing with the heart [spirit] is to believe
what is in our spirit... the spirit man knows truth.
The inner-man believes the Word he hears even if he cannot sense (hear
evidence of results of. see any evidence of, or feelings he may have, or what comes
into his mind) anything happening. Faith is not a feeling. Assurance in our spirit is
independent of human reasoning or human knowledge. We believe apart
from our bodies and minds. We don't always see immediate results, but our faith has
put God's power into motion (this is our expectation = hope). Faith is the substance
of things hoped for (expected) (Heb. 11.1a).
