I am walking in the light of the Word and the Word of God says He has heard me.
The Word says I am healed.
The Word says I have my healing and I believe the Word of God.

Faith pistis = conviction of the truth of anything; belief; in the NT of a conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervor of faith and joined with it.

2 Corinthians 5:7 AMP - for we walk by faith, not by sight [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]—

Not by sight includes all of the five physical senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight.

We will be focused on function of faith’s spiritual seeing and hearing, not physical seeing and hearing.

THERE ARE EYES OF FAITH THAT SEE
THINGS HOPED FOR WHICH ARE THINGS NOT SEEN WITH THE PHYSICAL EYES

THERE ARE EARS OF FAITH
Romans 10:17 - So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Now faith is the assurance (substance) of things hoped for.
Assurance (substance) hupostasis means to stand by something and refuse to ever budge from it. It is a fixed decision that one will be unmoving and stand by.

Faith is standing by things hoped for.
Like a bulldog that has found the bone of its dreams and has wrapped its jaw around the bone and refuses to let go
This means that we wrap our spiritual jaws around the promise of God.

It doesn’t matter how hard life or trials or symptoms try to take away the promise, that person has wrapped their spiritual jaws around that promise and never let go until it is fulfilled.
