Substance Faith - Samuel Dale
HEBREWS 11:1
1 ¶ Now faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
HEBREWS 11:2
2 For by it the elders obtained a good
report.
HEBREWS 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds
were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of
things which do appear.

29 In Hebrews, the Book of Hebrews, the 11th
chapter, we are told that faith is the substance of things hoped for. Now,
here's where many people fail to receive their healing, or what they're asking
for, because they take faith to be something that it is not. See? They don't
believe it. It--it's... It--it's not a imagination. It is a actual substance.
Now, listen close. See, it is not what you imagine. It's just as real to you as any sense of your body will
declare anything else. It's just as real as my eye says, "This is a piece
of paper." It's just as real as to say that, that that is a light. It's
just as real as to say, "I feel my coat." It's just as real as to--as
I hear that baby talking there, or making its noise. See? Just
that real as music playing. It's just as real as I taste
anything in my mouth. It is that real, only you can't show it to somebody else.
You have it alone. Amen. It's yours. Faith is the substance (See?); its not just a myth. So many people come...
Now, these are real deep lessons, and I'll catch the top of it,
then you dig down in it. See?

33 Notice, it is something that you possess;
not imagination, if you really have it. It's just as real to you as any other
thing that could be. It's just as real as--as you know that--that you're riding
in a automobile. It's just as real as you know that
you're setting in a church. It's just as real as you hear my
voice. It is a substance, not an imagination, not an emotion; but something
that you have; and it comes to you by hearing the Word of God and That only.
"Faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing the Word of God." That puts it back to
where your faith then is not in some individual. It's not in a man. It's not in
a organization. It's not in a group of people. It's in
God, because God is the Word. See? Your faith is in God. Faith
cometh by hearing the Word of God.
Then when God, by His Word, not by what somebody else did,
somebody else said, but by what God's Word said... He said, "Let every
man's word be a lie, and Mine be true."

23 Now, things that were made of things that
do not appear. Now, I have learned through all these years that all things that
are natural are types of spiritual things, everything that's in the natural.
And now, just remember that when you see anything in the natural, it is typifying a spiritual thing. See? All things are made
after things which do not appear. See, the natural then has reflected the
spiritual.
Now, as I was studying a few days ago, and I believe I mentioned
it last night, slightly, that I was reading where... or hearing on the radio,
coming in from Canada, of where that a doctor here in the United States
had--had made a statement that man was fourteen million years of evolution.
They dug up a bone over in Italy, in 1800, somewhere in the 1800's, that this
bone was supposed to be a human bone that was been--might by the... How they do
it to tell how old it was, and this doctor as an old man and has
put all of his life on studying on this bone. And he says, "This bone is
the bone of a man that's fourteen millions years old."

4 Now, just give me your undivided attention
just for a few moments, about twenty minutes. I have a little text here. I'd
like to call it "Countdown."
You know, all the things... Did you hear
what the Scripture said? The things that are--we see,
were made of things that was not, because it was the Word of God, Who spoke
things into existence. The world that we are sitting upon today,
the chairs that we're setting in, the floor that's beneath us, the dirt, the
trees, everything is nothing but the interpretation of the Word of God. When
God interprets it, when It happens, that reveals It.
"Let there be," and there was. "Let there be," and there
was.

E-28 Believe it. No matter what takes place,
believe it anyhow. You see, Christians don't look at what they see; Christians
look at things they don't see. And the things you don't see are
more real than the things that you see. You see that microphone. It'll perish.
I see faith that'll never perish. See? I see love--love, joy,
peace, long-suffering, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience. Every shield
of the believer is supernatural. Everything that belongs in the realm of
Christianity is worked by supernatural. An atheist once said to me, said,
"Anything that can't be scientifically proven isn't real."
I said, "Anything that can be scientifically proven isn't
real." That's vice versa.
He said, "There's something wrong with you."
I... "Yeah, I got saved; that's what's wrong."
And he said, "Oh...?..." He
said...
I said, "Now, you're, here you're looking at television you
was trying sell me."

E-22 "Faith is the substance of
the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Let's take that
part of the Scripture, "the substance of things hoped for."
There's three things: hope, charity, and faith. Is
that right? Now, hope is one element; faith is another element; and charity is
another element. Charity is love.
I've seen many people come by, lovely people, real
Christians, but didn't have enough faith to be healed,
and some sinner pass by and has the faith to be healed. See?
It's another element altogether. It's not how well you serve God; it's a--an element that you possess yourself.
Now, I want you to see this because it's for your benefit.

E-6 Now, some thinks that it's a mental
conception of the Word, but that is not right. Faith is a
substance. Faith is not a myth. Say... Faith is a substance of things hoped
for; the evidence... To have an evidence, it must be a
substance. So it is not just something that you imagine in your mind; it's
something that absolutely, you have. It's something that you possess in your
own being. And what is it? It's the evidence of things that you
have hoped for. It's the evidence of things you do not have as yet, but you
have the authority of God to say that you have it. It's an
evidence, something you have in your heart.
E-7 Now, it's--it's not something that you just
kindly push yourself to. I've noticed so much of that in my meetings,
that people try to work themself up into
something, to make them believe. Now, you can't do that. You're just beating
the air. But faith is something that's just as calm and
settled as it can be. It's taking God at His Word and having the
assurance in your heart, that God is able to keep what
He has said that He would do and will perform everything that He said He would
do.
Now, I've noticed it many times, people think they must be prayed
for. That's all right. We should pray for each other. Or that their hands might
be... or some evangelist's hands, must be ministered.
That's all right. That'll bring contacts and so forth of faith. But real,
unadulterated faith is taking God at His Word. That's the main thing.

E-7 Jesus saying, "Have faith in
God," the book of Hebrews the 11th chapter said that faith is the
substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. Now, remember, it's just not a
intellectual conception of something; it is a substance. It's something that
you possess.
