Text: ​“So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then let our appearance be examined before you, and the appearance of the young men who eat the portion of the king’s delicacies; and as you see fit, so deal with your servants.”” ― Daniel 1:11-13, NKJV. 

TFO Keynote #48: Faith is substance. It is tangible. It is not the past, nor the future. It is assurance. (Hebrews 11:1) 

Faith gives substance [life] to the things we hope for. (Hebrews 11:1)

"Faith is not faith in faith, but rather faith is in the person of Christ." — Pastor Réne Brown.

"Faith is the confidence that what God has said is true, and God will perform it." — Pastor Réne Brown.

Faith is the essential nature [essence, relevance, value, solid, strength, wholeness, standing] of the things we hope for. (Hebrews 11:1)

Faith is the "hypostasis" [Greek: literally "a standing under," foundation, assurance, guarantee, confidence, title deed] of things hoped for. (Hebrews 11:1)

"Faith without hope is dead. You cannot have legitimate faith and not have hope. The two must not be separated. Faith enables the believing soul to treat the future as present and the invisible as seen." — Pastor Réne Brown.

TFO Keynote #49: Faith works with vision, not with sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7)

One of the greatest friends of vision is faith.

"The eye should learn to listen before it looks." — Robert Frank.

"One of the greatest enemies of vision is sight." — Myles Munroe.

"Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others." — Jonathan Swift.

"Faith has to direct our actions, steer our thoughts, and stampede all over our fear-induced lack of trust." — Esther Dorotik.

"Walking by faith means allowing God, who sees the end from the beginning, to lead the way through all areas of life." — Esther Dorotik.

"Faith cannot thrive in the hostile environment of self-reliance. Only through surrender can we, like Abram, walk by faith, not by sight." — Annette Marie Griffin.
