it begins when we believe in yahweh, accepting yahushua has part of our lives, and even though we
have not seen him with physical beings we know he was the son of Yahweh, became a human and died for us over 200 years
ago. so faith is that trust in believing and therefore having a conviction about him

2Co 4:18
We are not looking on what is seen,but on what is not seen .For what is seen
passes away, but what is not seen is everlastingfor we walk
by belief, not by sight For in this expectation we were saved ,but expectation that is seen is not expectation ,for when anyone sees,does he expect it? And belief is the substance of what is expected, the
proof of what is not seen.In belief all these died, not having received the promises, but seeing them from a distance, welcomed
and embraced them ,and confessed that they were aliens and strangers on the earth And having obtained witness through the
belief, all these did not receive the promise,
Heb 11:6
But without belief it is impossible to
please Him,for he who comes to Elohim has to believe that He is,and that He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him.

Give to
them according to their deeds,And according to the evil of their practices;Give to them according to the work of their
hands;Bring back to them what the deserve.Because they do not heed the works
of
יהוה,
יהוה,Nor the works of His hands, He throws them down, And does not build them up.
2Co 5:7
for we walk by belief ,not by sight We are not looking on what is seen,but
on what is not seen .For what is seen passes away ,but what is not seen is everlasting But the natural man does not receive
the matters of the Spirit of Elohim, for they are foolishness to him ,and he is unable to know them ,because they are
spiritually discerned.
Joh 20:24
But T’oma, called
the Twin ,one of the twelve ,was not with them when
יהושע
came ,so the other taught ones said to him, “We have seen the Master.”
But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the mark of the nails,and put
my finger into the imprint of the nails ,and put my hand into His side,I shall by no
means believe. ”And after eight days His taught ones were again inside, and T’oma with them.
יהושע
came, the doors having been shut, and He stood in the midst, and said,“Peace
to you Then He said to T’oma,“ Bring your finger here, and see My hands. And bring your hand and put it into My
sideand do not be unbelieving, but believing. ”And T’oma answered and said to Him, “My Master and my Elohim!But
to the Son He says, “Your throne,O Elohim, is forever and ever,a sceptre of straightness is the
sceptre of Your reign.
“You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness Because of this, Elohim, Your Elohim, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
יהושע
said to him,
“T’oma, because you have seen Meyou have
believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed. ”There were indeed many other signs that
יהושע
did in the presence
of His taught ones, which are not written in this book,but these have been written so that
you believe that
יהושע
is the Messiah
,the Son of Elohim ,and that, believing ,you might possess life in His Name.
And Shimʽon Kĕpha
answering, said, “You are the Messiah ,the Son of the living Elohim.”
Many of us are
impatient for the things of YHWH to be done quickly, I know I have been. Looking back at times, I am so glad that YHWH did
things His way and in His timing, rather than when I thought things should have been done. I'm still learning to be patient,
knowing that YHWH always knows best and He has never let me down.
Waiting is very important
יהוה
answered me and said, “Write the vision and inscribe it on tablets, so that he
who reads it runs. “For the vision is yet for an appointed time ,and it speaks of the end,and does not lie
.If it lingers, wait for it, for it shall certainly come ,it shall not delay.“See, he whose
being is not upright in him is puffed up. But the righteous one lives by his steadfastness.
Hab 2:1
I stand at my watch
and station myself on the watch-tower ,and wait to see what He says to me, and what to answer when I am reproved.
Psa 77:5
I have
thought about the days of old The years long past.I remember my song in the night,I meditate
within my heart, And my spirit searches diligently.
Many times in the Gospels,
Yahusha`
reprimanded the
thalmiydiym for their lack of faith and pointed out those who showed faith,
Luk 7:1
And when He completed all His words in
the hearing of the people, He went into Kephar Naḥum. And a certain captain’s servant, who was valuable to him, was sick and about
to die. And hearing about
יהושע,
he sent elders of the Yehuḏim to Him, asking Him to come and
heal his servant. And when they came to
יהושע,
they begged Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy for You to grant this to him,for he loves our nation, and has built the congregation for us.” So
יהושע
went with them. However ,He was not far from the house when the captain sent friends
to Him, saying to Him, “Master, do not trouble Yourself for I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. “For
this reason I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say a word, and my servant shall be healed.“For I
too am a man appointed under authority having soldiers under meAnd I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another,
‘Come,’ and he comes, and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it. ”And when
יהושע
heard this, He marvelled at him,and turned around and said to the crowd that followed
Him, “I say to you, not even in Yisra’ĕl have I found such great belief
Isa 26:1
In that
day this song is sung in the land of Yehuḏah, “We
have a strong cityHe sets up deliverance ,walls and ramparts. “Open the gates ,let the righteous nation which
guards the truth enter in. “The one steadfast of mind You guard in perfect
peace, for he trusts in You “Trust in
יהוה
forever, for in Yah,
יהוה,
is a rock of ages.
it is the trusting and belief that
YHWH
And
Yahusha`
would and could do, that which they needed done
And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to Him, kneeling
down to Him and saying, “Master, have compassion on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers badly, for he often falls
into the fire and often into the water. “And I brought him to Your taught
ones, but they were unable to heal him.”
And
יהושע
answering, said, “O generation, unbelieving and perverted, how long shall I be
with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.” And
יהושע
rebuked the demon, and he came out
of him. And the child was healed from that hour. Then the taught ones came to
יהושע
by Himself and said, “Why were
we unable to cast him out?” And
יהושע
said to them, “Because of your unbelief, for truly, I say to you, if you have
belief as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move. And no
matter shall be impossible for you “But this kind does not go out except
through prayer and fasting.”
Num 20:8
“Take the rod and assemble the congregation ,you and your brother Aharon.
And you shall speak to the rock before their eyes, and it shall give its water. And you shall bring water for them out of
the rock and give drink to the congregation and their livestock.”
Num 20:12
יהוה
spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon, “Because you did not believe Me,to set Me
apart in the eyes of the children of Yisra’ĕl,therefore you do not bring this assemblyinto
the land which I have given them.”
Doubting is unbelief, unfaith.
Psa 78:1
My
people, give ear to my Torah, Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.I open my mouth
in a parable; I utter riddles of old, Which we have heard and known,For our fathers have related them to us We do not
hide them from their children ,Relating to the generation to come the praises of
יהוה,
And His strength and His wonders
which He has done.For He raised a witness in Yaʽaqoḇ, And set a Torah in Yisra’ĕl, Which
He commanded our fathers To teach them to their children; That it might be known to a generation to come,To children who would
be born, To rise up and relate them to their children, And place their
Trust in Elohim ,And not forget the Works of Ěl ,But watch over
יהוה
heard, and He was wroth; So a fire was kindled against Yaʽaqoḇ,And displeasure also came up against Yisra’ĕl, Because they did not
Believe In Elohim, Neither did they Trust in His deliverance .Yet
He had commanded the clouds above ,And opened the doors of the heavens And He
rained down manna on them to eat,And He gave them the grain of the heavens .Men ate bread of the mighty; He sent them provisions
to satisfaction. He made an east wind blow in the heavens ;And by His power He brought in the south wind.And He rained meat
on them like the dust, And winged birds like the sand of the seas ,And let
